Summertime is nearly gone in the north, and soon the warm-clime seekers will be migrating to the south. Key West offers them all they desire in climate, rec- reation, pleasure, health and romance.

The re*-~+ speech of National Recov- ery Adn ‘aistrator Johnson concerning the “buy now” campaign he plans to start soon, sheuld be oi cspecial interest to the wise and thritty property-owner. The forthcoming campaign is not to be clessed with sporadic campaigns of a simile natcre attempted during the past few years. This one will have the high- est Lacking -— it will come at a time when recuvezy is really underway, and the pub- lic will go to the limit in cooperating with the neads cf the government. There is} every reason to believ it will succeed. And the inevitabie result will be still sharper acceleration of the price level. H There is, as General Johnson said, a! tremendous latez.i demand for all the ne- cessities of life—for auto repairs, for clothes, for new plumbing and water equipment, for house and land improve- } ment. Organized and directed, this de- mand can create the greatest buying wave since war-time. _ It will lower the value of the inactive dollar, by making it buy less. | It will raise the value of the dollar that is | spent wisely now, by increasing the value of the improvements. This is fact, not theory. The day of bargains for standard commodities is goiag. It will be gone before we know it. The American property - owner is being of- fered his last chance to build a new home, repair an old one, and do similar things at extremely low prices. ENEMIES OF RECOVERY At the present time a dangerous and subversive “war” is being carried on against the utility industry. And a large part of the public knows about it. The war is being fought with taxes. Power companies have been singled out for one of the most unjust and unreasonable type of taxation in existence—taxation which increases their operating cost, ac- companied at the same time by legislation which makes it all but impossible to earn money with which tu pay. The new law requiring utility investors, instead of the power-consuming public, to pay the 3 per- cent electrical sales tax, is unprecedented. It is as if the oil companies were told that their retail price must be reduced hy the amount of tax now included and that they, sad not the purchaser, must pay the gaso- line sales tax. That is exactly the position of some of the utilities at present. Three percent of “cir gross revenue is often more than is available to pay interest to investors—-and if the government takes it, without allowing the company to increase rates accordingly, the investor is the loser. . Here is a problem faced by all inves- tors if this policy of taxation is extended. The utility industry is a virtually import- antjeconomic unit. It must be progressive and prosper in order to help our communi- ties develop, and employ men and women at good wages. Unjust taxation refeats this—it throws men out of work, prevents development by making it difficult or im- possible to obtain new money for expan- sion. Those who throttle the utilities through .taxation, are the enemies of na- tional recovery. FAITH IN AMERICA (Chronicle, Toledo, Iowa) ., It is doubtful if any country on the fice of the earth cam equal ‘Spartan -cottr’ age displayed by the American people dur- ing the last three years of the depression. Teeming millions of Asia and India live in indescribable poverty and squaldor while their masters-enjoy wealth and splendor. | But it is their life—they have never known anything else. In this country it is dif- ferent. Weare a different race, a think- ing and acting people, accustomed to the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. the great depression deprived the majority of us of all the luxuries, and millions of | even the bare necessities :of normal exis- | tence. It reduced men and women from comparative affluence to stark pauperism, seared the sou! of American humanity a has never been done before. Yet in the face of this appalling blight our people have never lost hope.
