COUNTY’S BEST INTERESTS Advertising the county’s delinquent tax list does NOT cost the county a cent, | does NOT cost the taxpayer a cent, does NOT cost the state a cent. Delinquents pay for the advertising; it is a penalty fixed by law for their fail- ure to pay their taxes at a specified time. The same law provides the rate at which they must pay, and county commis- sioners, in having a delinquent tax list ad- vertised at that rate, are acting according to law. It is an easy matter, in every sphere of activity, to find somebody to do something ; | cheaper. The NRA calls the price cutter | a chiseler; at a rate below a wage scale a scab. ing from a depression, the chiseler and the scab, hungry for money, are far more numerous than during prosperity. chiseler; labor is also aware of that fact, and it is because of that fact that labor per- sistently continues its fight against the seab.

Our ape-like attitude with respect to fashions might be used as a strong argu- ment for evolution. A Mrs. Gumbin of Chicago applied for a divorce five days after her mar- riage. Why the delay?

Advertising a delinquent tax list is a duty the state and county owe to the public generally and to the taxpayer particularly. | A community, as its financial life’s blood | is the payment of taxes, should know the | names of the realty owners who are and who are not paying their taxes, and the newspaper which publishes that informa- tion should be paid at the rate provided by law and not subjected to cutthroat com- petition. Finally, the Monroe county commis- sioners are familiar with the law governing | the publication of a delinquent tax list, and in awarding the contract for its publica- tion they do so according to law and in ac- cordance with their duty in conserving the best interests of the county. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS Automobile accidents exacted a heavy toll from the state of Florida last year, 521 people paid with their lives for riding on our streets and highways, and the more for- tunate ones of the motoring public, the lucky ones, let them pay without doing what they could to reduce this sacrifice to modern demands for speed in motor trans- portation. When 373 lives were lost in the Palm Beach Hurricane, the state was grief stricken and immediately began to rebuild the devasted area so that the inhabitants would be more able to combat the fury of the elements should another catastrophe of this kind occur. How much has been dane by the people to combat the fury of the speed demons and careless drivers who menace the highways? It is far easier to regulate the control of a man-operated machine than te.erect safeguards:against tropical hurricanes, yet we are every year laliicliieacctiors i losing more lives than have ever been lost It is a rule with The Citizen never to | before on our highways. During the past ten years 4926 people were killed by automobiles and that num- ber is greater than the total population of any of the following counties: Collier, | Charlotte, Flagler, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hendry, Lafayette, Liberty, and Okeechobee. A terrible disaster that would claim the lives of the total population of a city like High Springs, Melbourne, Quincy, ey for extending the invitation to tickle the imagination, but her contract does not call for compliance with the request, Tf nudism ever becomes general, dig- nity would be thrown ta the winds, for nothing puts us in our place or humbles us more than nakedness. when in the pre a dignita people are overwhelmed by the that clothes and position give a man. psychologist suggests a way to eliminate this fear: and you tremble, just look at him coolly for a moment and try to imagine him without nee of prestige clothes. trol of yourself.

Pouring concrete on all the! | walls of the San Carlos theater / was completed yesterday after-j i noon for the present. During the day, 329 batches of the mix- ture were used, filing to the level the first floor walls on each i side. Just as soon as the work ters started to construct forms for the second floor and as soon | j as they are in place this concrete } work will begin. Hundreds have asked why the bathing beauty contest was not staged by the American Legion as proposed, The reason, says a prominent member, was because there was but one formal appli- cation for entry made. Though the local legionnaires took every precaution to assure the complete protection of every young woman who would participate the inter- est could not be sufficiently aroused to warrant the organiza- tion continuing with the plans, hence the idea was abandoned. The U. S. S. Omaha, with Ad-| ' miral Schofield on board in com- | mand, arrived in port yesterday | from Galveston. On entering the {harbor a salute of 13 guns was | fired from the ship and a response ; was given by the shore station. ; The ship left again at 10 o’clock last night for Philadelphia. Dr. Eugene ©.

He will remain here several days before leaving for Miami.
