Walton Bldg. ATLANIDA, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN A NATIONAL LOTTERY «| (Tampa Tribune) Representative Kinney, a Democrat, of New Jersey, has introduced a bill to create a “national lottery.” The Rep- resentative, commenting on his proposal, says the plan would produce 2a federal revenue of a billion dollars a year, which! would come in handy in the present state of government finances. Anyway, he de- clares, a “lottery would be a doeica pak of the New Deal.” While we do not agree that. a ational lottery is “logically a part of the New Deal,” we are inclined to think that it wouldn’t be a bad idea, after all. State governments, including Florida, now derive considerable revenue from race- tracks. This revenue, in Florida, is ex- ‘pected this season to reach a total ‘between @ million and a million and one-half. dol- jars. While a race-track is not exactly a ‘lottery, it is a form of gambling, as is a lot- tery. ‘The state revenue from the race- track comes almost entirely as a percentage on the total amount wagered in the pari mutuels—so it is a revenue directly from gambling. How much better the financial condi- 4 tion of this city and county would be if STIL aia poh the froth and pei be they could derive a revenue from the ex- tensive lottery operations carried, on:-here —bolita, “Cuza,” bank clearances, New York ‘bond reports, etcetera. Repeated crusades to stop this form of gambling hére have failed because of the patent fact that a great many Tampans want it -and patronize it. It is as prevalent now as ever before—and the city and county govern- ments derive no revenue from it. The operators draw down a “take off” of from 20 to 30 per cent on every “throw.” The 4 aggregate turnover runs into many thou- { impRovEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN | Water and Sewerage.

Folks who talk so confidently about going to heaven seldom seem to be in any hurry to start. When a Buffalo man had his eye-in- jured the surgeon gave rather doubtful con- solation by saying that it would come out all right.

Meantime, gambling '| houses are operating here, and at least one new one is being built. Licensing gambling? We are doing | that now, through the state race-track law. 4 The money that comes to the state from the ‘\-race-track gambling “pot” is distributed among the counties and used for various purposes, including the schools. So race- track gambling, if it is an evil, is a recog- nized and legalized evil, which at least contributes something to the general bene- fit. Not only in Florida but in every state, other forms of gambling, unauthorized, not legalized and not licensed, operate daily in violation of law, because a large part of the public wants them and patronizes them. Why not make the public’s gambling urge produce revenue for the government? It is going to continue anyway, and for the enrichment of private operators. We | haven’t seen Representative Kinney’s bill, but we are favorably inclined to the gen- eral idea. TRAIN VS. AIRPLANE Train travel between New York and Chicago in 14 hours, on a_ schedule re- quiring speeds as high as 90 miles an hour, is predicted within five or six years by a Pennsylvania railroad official. This unprecedented speed will be made _ pos- sible by electrification of the line, for the entire distance, it is said, and will cut about six hours from the fastest presen schedules. Already some eastern’ divisions of the road are being prepared for «the use of electric locomotives, and this form of motive power is being actually adopted or sevioysly considered by a number of lines. Qne reason for seeking increased speed is seen in the competition of air transport lines, which are taking from the railroads an increasing volume of passen- ger traffic. For a good while it has been known that train speeds could be materially in- creased by electrification, but heretofore .the cost of equipment necessary to make the change has been a deterring factor.
