We echo that any method that will gain the desired end of crime is to be met with wholehearted approval and suprort by the United States’ citizenry generally. Death is inevitable, and the living} should straighten up with the realization that the unfinished tasks of the deceased | rest on the shoulders and must be borne by ; those left. As an immortal writer said: } “From falling hands to you we throw the | terch——Be yours to hold it high!” A netice in The Citizen recently un- der “People’s Forum” relative to the sus- pension of diamondbal! unless contribu- tions by spectators and interested parties is increased, should be seriously taken by well-wishers of Key West. This enter- tainment is enthusiastically Jooked for-! ward to by boys and girls as well as adults | who see in them pleasant hours of enter- | tainment. People who cannot afford} amusement also find them a blessing, help- ing them to forget their troubles and wor- ries. A few cents from a large portion of witnessing crowds would easily take care Of any arising difficulties. IT’S TIME TO BUILD The American home shortage contin- other statistics of a reliable nature. In the decade between 1920 and 1930 the country added a total of 5,600,000 families to its population. The need for new housing during that decade was ap- proximately equal to the number of fam- ilies added. In addition, a certain num- ber of homes were destroyed by fire, ob- solescence and so forth—a number which is placed at the conservative figure of 250,- 000 for the decade. Normal building, therefore, should have provided for about | 5,850,000 families during the ten-year pe- riod. The total number of families provided with new housing in 257 cities surveyed during the decade, was 3,616,000. These 257 cities accounted for 70.8 percent of all residential building. On that basis, the gross of new homes built in the entire coun- try was 5,180,000, leaving us with a short- age of 698,000 homes when he entered the year 1931. 350,000. What al! this leads up to is that we are on the eve of a tremendous expansion in residential building. As recovery gets under way, and men go back to work, hundreds of iuousands of American fam- ilies are going to replace old homes with new ones, or move from rented quarters into homes cf their own. Construction prices of all kinds are going to soar—and | we'll look back on 1933 as the year when almost inconceivable building bargains were offered to us. It’s time to build! A TAX-DESTROYED BUILDING Up to a short time ago a_ 20-story skyscraper stood in the famous Loop dis- trict of Chicago. The building returned a rent of $50,000 a year. A Chicago bus- iness man was offered the opportunity to buy it for $5.00. And he turned it down! Since then the building has been wrecked, and the lot it stood on is being used for a parking space. This amazing little story appeared re- cently in the editorial columns of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin. As the knowing will have guessed, the trouble with the building was taxes. They came to $40,000 a year. And the owners were in arrears an entire year. To continue to operate they would have had to pay out $80,000. The rent return didn’t justify it. And the result? Well, everyone lost: The owners of the building, who had in- vested money in it and were fina'ly forced to’ destroy it in self-defense; the city, which was out thousands in taxes; and, lastly, the general public, which must make up the taxes the building would normally pay. This is the old story of excessive tax- ation, and it has been told a thousand times. Bankruptcy, unemployment} in- dustrial recession, slowed community progress—these are the inevitable corollar- ies of wasteful.and expensive government. It is time our lawmakets réad the hand- writing on the wall. FLYING UPSIDE DOWN peu AQ. example of endurance and skill that is interesting, even if it seems to have little practical value, was the upside down airplane flight made recently by the Ital- ian aviator, Lieutenant Tito Falconi, from | St. Louis to Joliet, Ill. In making his inverted flight, Falconi remained in the air 3 hours, 6 minutes and 39 seconds, breaking the record of 2 hours and 20 minutes held by Milo G. Burcham, young California flyer. Faloni declared that he could have held ovt considerably longer, except for tho fact that one of the three straps which held him in the plane broke, making his position extremely the last hovr of the flight, as most of his weight was thrown on one shoulder. Airplanes carrying observers for the | American Aeronautical Association accom- panied the flight to make the record offi-| cial. To those of us who do not indulge in such performances the stunts of flyers are | little short of amazing. How so many get away with them without breaking their! necks is indeed marvelous.
