Let your parting salutation to your friends this evening be, “See you in church tomorrow.” It should be borne in mind that it was man himself who got the idea that he was lord of creation.

It was said of a certain clergyman that he was invisible for six days of the week, and incomprehensible on the seventh. A philosopher once said that “well- timed silence more eloquent than speech.” Righto. And most silence is well-timed, Too many of us live in the spirit of the old gentlemen who once drove horses and now shake their umbrellas at every passing car, is There is one disadvantage in living in Key West. Snow shovelers can’t make a living here at that occupation. No unem- ployment among snow shovelers at present up north. New York alone spent $2.000,- 000 to clear away its snow. Ed Howe says: “Behave yourself; let others go to the devil, if they so please ...

This list was on property restored to the tax assessment rolls by the Futch Act of the 1933 Legislature, and does not af- fect the regular sale tax list. A committee of the Florida Press As- sociation was designated to express to Governor Sholtz and his cabinet the senti- ments of this body and of the various pub- lishers who have been awarded the con- tract to print the 1934 tax list, and lay be- fore the cabinet the proposal whereby the saving of a considerable sum of money could be effected. The cabinet action fol- lowed. The propositions submitted were as follows: 1. Instructing tax collectors to make up two tax sale lists—one of individually | owned lands and one of state certificated lands—just as was done last year. 2. Instructing the tax collectors to advertise promptly the list of individually owned lands, which advertisements are | necessary to afford the purchaser a good | and sufficient lien by giving due notice to | all concerned or interested in said proper- ties, which have not already viously advertised. 3. Instructing said collectors to withhold further advertising of the list of | state certificated lands, which have already been previously advertised, just as the simi- lar portion of the 1933 list was withheld | and, 4. Not to advertise said list until such time as the legislature has an oppor- tunity to correct the error, and provide a legal means of handling certification of added annual delinquent taxes against such lands as have been previously advertised and sold to the state. been pre- | LIBERTY AND CRIME In their efforts to find an explanation for the increasing prevalence of crime, many thoughtful persons have concluded that the tendency to burden the public with a growing multiplicity of laws may account for much of the lawlessness which now prevails. Speaking before an international con- vention of police chiefs at Colorado Springs, Dr, Carlton Simon said: “We can limit and harass human freedom to such | an extent that even the normally balanced individual feels that he is oppressed and will seek unlawful means of expressing his personality.” Through the operation of innumerable laws and the activities of government agencies employed thereunder we are re- stricted, inspected, spied upon, investi- gated and caused many unnecessary an- noyances which are resented by a people who love freedom. If more attention were paid to ap- prehending and punishing real criminals, while allowing greater freedom from harassment to respectable citizens, we should “doubttess“have a more law-abiding and happier citizenship.
