Times Union wants someone to invent a fishing-rod and golf club all in one. But most of us get all tangled up with ‘em separately, much less amalgamated.

People familiar with the” situation know that existing power development in the Northwest exceeds any probable de- mand. for some years to come. The poor companies have been financed hy thou- sands of innocent investors and their rates are all under public regulation, and among the lowest in the United States. Are they. to serap there plants? There is a pasic principle involved here as to the confiscation of property. It is morally right for government to deliberately jeopardize savings of innocent investors? Should a United States’senator threat- en. private citizens with confiscation -.of their property through government ‘com- petition, without any offer of compensa- tion? is the investor who brought electric dovelopment in the Northwest to as ons point of efficiency, desérving of no sideration? Even in the hysteria of a-relief :pro- gram, these fundamentals should not. be lost sight of, tc the destruction of existing tax-paying industries. What is going to be the aaleimate ef- fect on the morale of a private citizen, if he feels that his investment in productive enterprise will not be protected by his own government? A private corporation that tried to de- stroy competition or bend it to its own will in the manner proposed by the United States senator, would immediately find it- ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ‘ Daily Cross-word Puzzle 00006000000 080 000000800080 0880880 000OCOMIORSOOCE Solution of Vesterday’a Puzzle : ACROSS 1, Altogether 6, Remunerate 9.

Perhaps we should include many of ° the losers, too; they favor it because they hepe to win some day, although most of them won't But those who don't play it are against it, because they know it takes thou- sands of dollars from them, from Tampa, taking the money ouf of diréulation:here; the same as throwing it into the middle * the Gulf.

As a matter of information we quote the anti-Machado Havana American-News: You know there was no lottery drawing yesterday. I have heard there will be ne more, although I don’t believe it. The lottery is an.easy way to get some money in the national tveasury. The people will gamble in spite of hell and high water, and it seems to me it would-be better for the government to get the easy money than for some crooked officials in the way of “protection.” Yes, Iam quite sure there will be crooked —— in the new government. ‘ The bad feature about ‘he lottery was the bottelas and the manner in which the tickets reached the pubtic. Cut out sll go-betweens and permit the peeple to buy lottery tickets di- rectly from the government as they ‘rould postage stamps and it will prove a blessing rather than a curse. Much as the abolition of the Cuban lottery would help Tampa, we agree that it is improbable. It will be a cold; day ib Cuba, in August, when it is abolished. One industry—kidnaping—is entirely too prosperous for the good of the country. —Chicago News.
