Every pipe smoker looks 4 little like a loafer, If you’re poor, you can’t understand why a rich man shoots himself. It was Rousseau’s taunt that a Demo- eracy was free only at election time. One way to secure happiness is to spend one hour a day helping somebody. Anyway the NRA has given us some- thing to talk about besides prohibition and |. the weather. The most inspiring thing in life is the consciousness of the ability to do some im- portant work. | | Phe expected early repeal of the 18th Amendment }.s ‘fspired a book with the title, “Quiet Dri. czg.” Over ofe-half of the world lives un- der hot-weather conditiois, and presum- ably the other half is in hot-water. When things are only bad, they can be mended; when they are so bad they can- not be mended, they can only be ended. To remark that theslaw was open to all, both to the rich and the poor, it was answered, “So is the department store.” No one is unpatriotic -if he thinks and says that the coercive measures of the NRA may be its undoing, if he conscientiously believes so. A British training school usés dummy horses “to savé the nerves of live mounts.” The use of dummy students also would save the nerves all around. It didn’t take a scientist to discover another dark cloud: Another of Jonah's sons “darkened” the doorway of The Citi- zen office the other day looking “foah me pappy.” If a firm expects to retain its leader- ship in the business world of a community, it is essential that their name be constantly in the minds of the people. Only through continuous advertising is this accomplished. ~ NATO! aaa ebiToR GAL | taxes THE INDUSTRIAL TURNIP Industry is: begiming to show operat- ing profits again, after thrée long years of | financial drought. A That will come as good news to in- vestors, workers and the general public. | But the road ahead isn’t entirely strewn | with roses. There is an obstacle in the way of dividends, jobs and. progress. That obstacle is taxation. Anyone who reads the anntial reports of the larger American corporations ean- not help being impressed by their tax. pay+ ments. I various instances—such as ntilitiestax increases and new. special -e been sufficient to more than off- set any rise in earning power. The in- vestor—which means the individual who has saved a few dollars and put them into productive enterprises where they work for the benefit of the entire country—has never been so heavily penalized for his thrift. Management has never had. so poor a chance to, produce results from ef- ficiency and far-sightedness. At the moment the country is enthu- siastically endorsing the NRA plan for put- ting men back to-work. Busiriess has re- sponded gratifyingly. But it must be re- alized that the best of intentions dre use- less unless one has the means with which to carry them out. Employers want to raise wages and lower working hours— but they can’t pick money from the air. Ane the tax collector is making it increas- ingly difficult to operate and make a prof- it. High taxes, unemployment and indus- trial torpor go hand in hand. The old say- ing that you can’t get blood out of a tur- nip was never truer than now. In conjunction with other relief mea- sures, why not inaugrate an actual reduc- tion in the aggregate tax collected from citizens and industry? THE CASH VALUE OF SAFETY While the most important phase of the accident problem is obviously the unnéces- sary toll of deaths and injuries, there is an- other phase that should not be overlooked —the economy one. oe. Every accident costs money. : “Eyery accident places a burden upon the average pocketbook. And the totak of costs for a year runs into many millions, Accident prevention, as a restilt, pays cash divi- dends. : : In industry it has been the inevitable exper © “¢ that a low accident rate'is ac- compamed by higher efficiency. When a great many accidents occur in an industty, the morale of workers is seriously impair- ed. There is a distant slowing down in their operations. There is discontent— that most potent of all disturbers. And there is very likely a red-ink showing at the end of the month or quarter. During the past decade industry has made fine strides in safety. The roster of major businesses which operate for a year at a stretch with hardly an accident of im- portance, is constantly growing. And those are the businesses which we know best— which are most stable, most efficient and most profitble. In the future, safety can earn’! its: grea’: . dividends on the highways. We complain because casualty insurance ratés’ go-up—e@nd we overlook the fact that they ‘went up beeause accidents increased in nuniber and severity and the financial drain on insurance companies grew accerd- ingly. __Automobile rates, like home and indastrial accident rates, are in the hands of the public, which increases or decreas- es the hazard on which the rate is be<ed. Every American should resolve to help alleviate tragedy and at the same time fat- ten his pocketbook by being a safer citizen. PREFERENCE TO BRIDGES Communities and other public bodies are discovering that public works ’ funds, out of the $3,800,000,000 allotted, are not simply to be had for the askings* It has been decided that preference will be giv- en to projects which tend to, create other, projects. The following stand high on the preference list: ‘Waterworks pro- jects necessary for a community’s health and convenience; sewer projects of the same character, and the building of use- ful bridges, tunnels and highways. Also considered, is the state of muni- cipal or coanty finances when the body makes its application. Those with their finances in order wil be most favored. Private, as well as public, bodies may receive self-liquidating loans when the pro- jects are to be devoted to public use, such as tuunels, dry docks, viaducts, © canals, markets and hospitals. the corner of ‘that section. td THE KEY WEST CITIZEN @occonecnccccevceccceveveceuvoesvuscessesvoccoee: [008 Daily Cross-word Puzzle Cosccccccccveveceocsonsenccocesooccoosemosee e 18 BOS BARS ROL) Bo Sho E1G/O} to Il trade of cooper, born, Chicago, July 1, 1884. i it 16) Beat or dive oF | Bost: st feather 19.
