Furthermore, your taxes will not be increased ONE CENT as a result of the issuing ‘ahd subsequent sale of the bonds to the Public Works Board, or any other governmental ‘ageney, ‘or; should Such a ¢bntingeney afise, to any other agehey, éorporation, or individual, or in- dividuals. The other point, and ‘it's # most im- portant one, is that it fequites the approval ‘bf 4 majotity of freeholders in. Monroe eounty to -make the bonds valid. y ‘ “Majority” in this case, is not the same .48 the general acceptance of the term with which we have been familiat in éther elec- tions. The majority must be of ALL the freeholders in the county, those that don’t | vote as well as those that do vote. Here is an illustration of that require- ment: * Let us assume that there are 1,000 freeholders in Monroe county, and let us say that only 600 of them vote. If every one of the 500 voted to issue the bonds, the election would be lost, becatise of a lack of a majority of ALL the freeholders in the county. say, as haS beeh said so often, “Everybody's going to vote for the bonds; ‘so 1 won't bother to vote.” If you say that afid adhere to it, then you #re casting a vote against the bonds, that is, yoli are killing the vote of some- body who yoted for them. +; Se you tust vote if you" favor the borids—if you stay away from, the, polls, you are yoting AGAINST them. \“Preeholder” means atybolly who owns #éal &state or lias an established equity in real estate. All of us waht the bridges, and it is. the duty of évery freeholder who wahts them to seé to it that hé régisters and votes. if he fails to do those things, he is actually against the brides, of what he Says or how much he says about his desite to, see the bridges constructed. It is the duty of every freeholder to véte, and he who dues not perform that duty, if he is able to perform it, is, in real- ity, not a wellwisher of Monroe county. WAR ON ae TRAFFIC What ‘is considered & most important Step toward better control of the traffic in -nareoties was taken when the internation- al treaty adopted at Geneva in 1981 became effective last month, © The treaty as adopted by delegates fom 57 nations, td provides for limiting the manufacture ‘and distribution ‘6f natedtiés throughout the wofld. This is a large order, but there is no doubt that the treaty. will be most help- ful in curbing the unbelievably vast traffic which now exists. An importaiit part in seturing this in- ternational cooperation was taken by the World’s Narcotic Defense Association, of Which Captain Richmond P. Hobson of Merrimac fame is president. _ The next Objective of the association is to secure the adoption of uniform laws respecting nar- cotics by the several states, thése to con- form to the Federal statutes on the sub ject. Already three states, New York,.New Jersey and Nevada, have passed the uni- forni law, and others will follow suit soon: There seems to be no reason . Why . every State shoul not join ih this movement when legislatures are again in session. The dope habit is the most*horrible of all habits to which & huniah being can fall a victim. The dope fieid’s condition is aptly described as “the living death,” a veritable Hell on earth. The extent to whith this traffic has spread in various countries, including the United States, is appalling. Any means whereby it may be statnped out of cuftailed is worthy of sup- port by anyone who gives a thought to suf- fering humanity. ee aS ts In view of that favt, this is no time to: THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘ COSCO COSCSSSOCOOSESSSCO LOSES ES SODVEDSITSLEOVIECLS _ Daily Crossword Puzzle $0000cceboseodosndeodcednecsstooscvescosey Across 1, Weaken 4.
