After talking all day to anyone who “will listen to them, many people complain cthere is no free speech any longer. They tell us not to blame the jinx for our misfortunes, but we all have to find ‘someone to blame besides ourselves.

The increase in taxation—local, state and national—is the most startling and menacing economic development since the world war. It was not so long ago that we used to pity overtaxed European countries, in the belief that we were escaping their experience. Today, with the cost of all forms of government soaring in the face of diminishing taxable assets and earnings, we are very close to the European level. Recently England, one of the heaviest taxed countries, enjoyed a general tax re- duction, made in the interest of industrial reeovery. The United States, unhappily, has no stich prospect. A great part of the tax money does nothing to encourage industry—some of it is actually used for projects and experi- ments which discourage and throttle private initiative, retarding employment, rather than in¢reéasing it. “It is‘a bar, not a spur, to purchasing power. It stands in the way of investment, industrial expan- sion, farm and home ownership. It is ereating a vast, wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy which waxes fat while the publie which supports it starves.

An organization known as the Hospitality League, composed of 33 members, is holding regular meetings, and making plans for welcoming ors, and giving them a good time after they arrive. Se far the plans of the league include estab- lishment of an information booth; the sending of welcome letters to incoming tourists; the checking up of taxi rates; the opening of Hospitality House, where tourists may be received, and get acquainted with Key West people and the cheeking up on ac- commodations offered to tourists. There are en- tertainment, transportation and housing commit- tees, each of w h has its duties to perform for the Hospitality League. It sounds as though Key West is going into ; Ki this tourist business in a big way. Other Florida resorts should be able to get some good ideas from the plans being worked out down there, since Key West folks are going ahead on what seems to be an extremely practical basis. There are many reasons why tourists should want to go to Key West. . For one thing, it has a saintness and charm. It is the southern- most ‘city in’ the: United States, and is picturesquely certain q Joeated, the joutmey to it giving the visitor a unique experience.

Many people will con- tinue to use it in that way, but we believe, with the effort that is being made to attract and te hold tourists in Key West, travelers will really en- joy that old city, and wish to remain for a time.

Yearly membership in the mu- nicipal ge s on Stock Island increases daily and today there are 19 paid up memberships in y West. This means that Key West has derived from that one souree $665.
