Beneficiaries of the FERA are won- dering WHEN the government organiza- tion will end; taxpayers are wondering WHERE. An exchange in an editorial headline asks the question, “Do Poets Die Young.” Our private investigator informs us that, unfortunately, the worst ones do not. We read that the government has taken over the hides of cattle killed on ac- count of the drouth. It also appears to have designs on the hides of the tax- payers. How words change their meaning in course of time is well illustrated by Chau- cer’s “that conceited clerk Homere,” which to his contemporaries meant “that learned poet so full of imagination.” ~ It had to come. Those smooth poli- ticians finally running out of everything to tax, hit upon the ingenious method to tax taxes. That’s worse than compound in- terest, and we thought that was the limit. : State control of “mewspapers as pub- lie utilities is on the Epic program of Upton Sinclair in California. If it becomes law, the fir’ step out of 48 will be taken, and freedom of speech and press will be en- dangered. Key West is preparing to capitalize on its Latin background in a_ celebration next week. Coincident with the ceremony observing the 65th anniversary of the birth of the revolution in Cuba, the Key Westers will also hold memorial services for the men lost on the Maine. It should be a £olorful two-day celebration, with the city fuled by a “king and queen.” An official Fepresentative of the government of Cuba will be on hand.

Key West, Fla., asked for bread and they gave it a stone. With its leading in- dustries of all times all but extinguished; with half its citizens receiving direct re- lief, Key West appealed to Washington for aid in warding off complete extermina- tion. Cash was forthcoming, but simulta- neously the Cuban reciprocal trade treaty “was made operative and its 50 per cent re- duction in the tariff on pineapples struck a body blow at the Key West cannery, the largest of its surviving industries —(From “Pointed Paragraphs” Column, Weekly Republican Senatorial Congressional Com- mittee Letter.) world.

Desiring to lead an expedition of ex- ploration in that direction, he appealed in wain for assistance to various rulers, and finally to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. After many heartbreaking rebuffs and de- lays, Queen Isabella aided in supplying three small vessels for the voyage. Colum- bus sailed from Palos on August 3, 1492, and although the fears of his sailors nearly eaused mutiny at times he reached land, probably one of the islands of, the Baha- mas, on October 12. Other voyages and attempts at colonization followed, but dissatisfaction with the rule of Columbus resulted in his beimg sent back to Spain in chains. Al- though permitted to make his fourth and last voyage after that, Columbus was never restored to his rights, and he lived a broken and forsaken man until his death in 1506. But his remains were to make another voyage to America and return. First buried in Seville; his body was removed to Haiti in 1542; to Havana in 1795, and finally back to Seville in 1898. Columbus Day was first observed in Colorado, but largely through the efforts of the Knights of Columbus its observance has become widespread throughout the United States. HOME BUILDING STARTS Delayed for weeks, the efforts of the new Housing Administration to stimulate the construction and durable goods indus- tries by home renovating and building is about to get started with general indorse- ment of major groups of the country. Industry is throwing its full weight be- hind this Government venture because in the industries that would be activated lie the great pools of unemployment that can not be reached by stimulating the consump- tion goods industries. This major peril of _the program lies ‘ in increased wage demands creating arti-j ficial levels. These would halt home build- ing by the moderate salaried group as artificial wages boosted the cost of goods needed by the farmer out of his reach. | CHISELING ON RELIEF (Sarasota No less an authori Herald) than Harry L. Hopkins, said that there are some of “chiseling” on relief. He federal administrator, has persons who are gui expressed the opinion that from five to 10 per cent of the persons on relief should not be there, and he has promised that steps would be taken to have these persons eliminated from support by the taxpay It is a gigantic task that the federal govern- ment has to provide for those actually in need.
