Preparations now being made for the October 10 Celebration are rivaling the San Carlos International €elebration ten years ago. Events of those feverish days are chronicled. again in The Citizen’s Ten Years Ago, news items taken from its files a decade past, The combined Atlantic and Pacific fleets at the Guantanamo naval base and under orders to remain there until October 10, should make it possible for those in charge of the October 10 celebration to have one or more of the ships put in at the port of Key West to lend glamour to the occasion, The vagaries of “news” was never better illustrated than with the burning of the tourist vessel Morro Castle. For days, the textile strike with its rioting strikers occupied the front pages. It seemed goad for days more. Along came the sea disaster and the strike with the recounting of its indignities virtuaily disappeared for a time from metropolitan newspapers, The Monroe County jailer has issued a new order wat prisorers must return to jail at 6 p. m. It seems they are turned loose dwing the days (for exercise, sun and fresh air). Some of them have been staying out late, fascinated by the bright lights of Key West, cr _ mosquitoes or something.—P.

FLAY RELIEF FACTORY PLAN The eagerly-awaited answer to what retail merchants think of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration’s pro- gram of using government money to set up a nationwide system of small factories came in a statement issued by Channing E. Sweitzer, managing director of the Na- tional Retail Dry Goods Association. Mr, Sweitzer charged that entrance of government into business confronts the re- tailers of the country with “a demoralizing form of competition which cannot be met on any fair and equitable basis.” He added: “Our employment and relief problems will not be solved through unsound and uneconomic governmental competition with private business, which inevitably must result in further unemployment of labor, lower wages and additional business failures. “If, for relief purposes, the govern- ment feels that it is necessary to use sur- plus raw materials, then it should do so not, in an uneconomic, discriminatory com- petition with private business but in co- operation with private business in a way which will be fair and equitable to the spresent and future welfare of business, as well as to,labor already employed. ««ee%Amy other program will defeat na- tional recovery, if not break down entirely our present industrial and commercial sys- THE NEW YORK LOTTERY (Fort Myers News-Press) If the New York lottery actually goes into operation—and there is still a big “if’—it is safe to expect that other cities, and perhaps states, will return to this long abandoned form of revenue raising. Already it is under consideration elsewhere. Maryland has taken it up seriously, Chicago has toyed with the notion and the news from New York was made the occasion for a statement by a Tampa alderman that he would vote for it there. Qur state legislature is certain to be interested, and for the same reason that impelled New York City to act; because the FERA will require that Florida furnish funds for relief and distracted legislators will be at wit’s end to find a source. Although the framers of the New York scheme have been exceedingly ingenious in their attempt to get around the law, there must be doubt that it will _pass muster in court. Whatever they may call it and however they may do it, it is a lottery right on and there are stil] courts in the land which forbid the reaching of an illegal end by legal means. The test is certain to he carried through to the nation’s highest tribunal and a favorable deci- sion by the supreme court of the United States would seem to be not among the probabilities. What the New York plan calls for is the or- ganization of a charitable association with a $2.50 The prizes would be paid in the form of “salaries” to officers membership fee for a given period. who would be chosen by drawing the names of members from a jury wheel. The first name out would be the “president” and his salary of $20,000 would be the prize. Other similarly ch6sen at salaries ranging downward to officers would be an appropriate level of minimum prizes. The plan is to pay out 44 per cent of the re- ceipts in awards and turn over 44 per cent to the city for reliéf, the other 12 per cent to be reserved for xpéhses, The business would be conducted by a board of trustees to be appointed by the mayor. Estimates of revenue for relief range up to $15,000,000. To net that sum there would have to be some 15,000,000 “‘members”—a lot of players even for a city as large as New York. Still, when you consider the number of people in a little town like Fort Myers who can dig up a dollar a week for bolita tickets it is not impossible that New York, with the visiting firemen to draw from, could sell 15,000,000 chances a year, The probability that outsiders will participate, makes the scheme particularly attractive to New York. Be- cause of our large seasonal population of liberal- spending transients such a seheme also would be attractive to Florida. To the extent that outsiders might be drawn into New York’s or Florida’s lot- tery other cities and states would be encouraged to act in self defense and thus the spread. and contribute enormously, is what thing would * There is many a policy slip between the pres- ent status of the New York project and its con- summation but it is highly significant that the greatest city in the nation has decided to under- take the venture. In many things New York sets a national fashion; not always a good one but one which is frequently followed. Speaking of life’s little affliction; have you ever walked far in a pair of tight | shoes? ~THE KEY WEST CITIZEN y - alist, KEY WEST IN Today’s JUST CAN'T BE COVERED U. | at Madison, N.
