Martin, Junior, U-S. Representative sinidys Masgcnuget: . “Deutschland, Deutschland uber Al- les” (“Germany, Germany Above Evety- thing in the World”), written in 1841 by thé German poet and philologist, August Héinrich Hoffman, was originally simply and solely a fatherland song for home use. It was written at a time when the aristo- crats of Germany were savage.y repressing every attempt at unity and liberty, and in the whole poem of 24 lines there is no com- parison with other couniries, no suggestion of superiority, and no claim to primacy or privilege of any kind, The words meant and mean no more than that Germany ought to be everything to her sons and daughters. But in the World War a dif- ferent motive was attributed to this old folk song, and it was sung with an air of boastfulness and defiance. Key West broke a weather record of 47 years standing last Sunday when the thermometer rose to 94, the highest since 1886. The Key West Citizen couldn't believe it when the weather bureau report came in and asked confirmation. It was true, but a breeze off the ocean throughout | the day prevented any suffering. If this hadn't been enough to comfort the Key Westers, they could have found relief by observing the temperature reports from several northern cities the same day. Min- neapolis had 100, Fresno 102 apd Boston 98. Miami thermometers did not go above 85, Pensacola being the only other Flor- | id& city above 90.—Miami News. It was the first time in almost a half century that Key Westers were greeting one another with the old familiar salutation heard so often in other cities, “Is it hot enough for you?” PENALIZING INNOCENT INVESTORS You can’t have your cake and eat it industry and expect it to be a progressive and beneficial factor in national life. i Th “+ has been demonstrated in the case of the railroads. And it bids fair to be demonstrated again in the case of the ‘| utilities. New legislation authorizes gigantic federal electric depevopments at Muscle Shoals, to the detriment of thousands of private citizen stockholders in the utilities now rendering that area good service. The existing utilities pioneered electric progress in that section. They did it with money furnished, mainly in small amounts, by people who had faith in the future. Pub- lic regulation already protects the consum- er and permits investors to earn only a rea- sonable return. Not satisfied with that 4 too—and you can’t discriminate against an | the politicians now use the power of the public treasury to jeopardize not only any possible profit to innocent investors, but perhaps their principal as well. In addition to putting the government into competition with its own citizens in a tax-exempt electric business, the Congress has also voted to shift the 3 percent elec- trical sales tax from the consumer to the in- vestor, thus levying a penalty against thrift and enterprise. By a parity of reasoning it should have made the federal tax on gasoline a percentage of the gross earnings of the oil companies instead of a gallonage tax to be paid by the consumer, The least that can be said for this pol- icy toward the utility investor is that it is not sound economics, nor is it sound gov- ernmental practice. It amounts to drying up the springs whence flow employment, industrial expansion, progress, and last but not least, governmental tax revenues. It penalizes thrift and rewards prodigality. And the public can’t win under such a pol- icy. Its extension undermines the taxable assets of the nation and adds to the burden of the remaining taxable property. A $616,710 WORD An unusual lawsuit in which $616,750 was involved, and which hinged on the con- struction to be.placed on the single word “whom,” was recently decided by the New York Supreme court, ' By the decision 21 charitable and religious ingtitutions will benefit to the extent of the amount named. The case arose over the will of Mrs. Hannah M. Lydig, in which a number of direct bequests were made to persons and also to institutions. Then it was directed that after the specific provisions of the will had been carried out the residue of her estate was to be divided in the same proportions among those ‘to whom I will and bequest the same.” Ti -was contended by lawyers for the persu..al heirs that the word “whom” could not apply to a corporation or institution, but only to individuals. Those represent- ing the charities asserted that the word was not restricted to human beings, and elaborate briefs were submitted upholding that view. The court ruled that under the circum- stances. surrounding the case, and the evi- dent intent of Mrs. Lydig to give the aime portion of her estate to the institutions named in her will, hair-splitting over the construction of a four-letted word would not be permitted to deprive the charities of the sum she had left them.
