We wonder if those anti-noise cam- paigns include the raucous voice of the radio. Youth must be served, it is said. And That leaves the man in the middle out in the cold. old age too. If this thing keeps up we will join the ; lilies of the field; we will toil not, nor will we spin—except on the highway at a dizzy pace. If you cannot figure it out how some; people can buy automobiles, just remem- ber they do it by refraining from paying their just debts. 3orrowing money is what put most of us in the fix we found ourselves; now, with times improving, we will probably try ! and borrow some more cash as soon as we} pay up our old debts. The AAA has lost its Santa Claus. In- stead of being grateful for the financial assistance received in the past, the farm- ers are up in arms. What did they do be- fore there was a AAA? Net so well.

Of course if the killer by will waits long enough he will always suc- ceed in his diabolical intent. cure. A St. Paul poultry raiser asserts that if a red light is placed in the chicken coop, the young chickens which are accidentally injured will be safe from attack by their } companions. A young chicken will go after blood, but the red light makes it seem black to the chickens and they do not bother the injured ones. This is the first time on record that a chicken has been re: garded as safe in a red light district. It is said that the answer to most busi ness propositions is “Hell, no.” But it is natural some business propositions must be! answered in the affirmative, or there | would be no progr Chauncey Depew’ said “No” to an offer for one-sixth interest in the Bell Telephone Company for $10,- 000.

TAXES FOR EVERYBODY! A noted humorist, asked recently what was the best laugh topic, replied: “Taxes! Everybody pays them.” But while we laugh, the cost of gov- state and local— climbs. And John Citizen pays dearly for his laughs. Today there is an invisible guest who sits at the table ; | of every family in this country. He is the invisible tax eater that collects the hidden taxes. When the housewife purchases three pork chops, the butcher weighs them This steady sapping of the nation in- come to meet public expenses was cited by Lewis H. Brown, president of the Johns- Manville Corporation, in a recent address to the American Bankers Association. “It is useless to attempt to solve this problem in terms of parties,’ Mr. Brown said, “for no matter what the label, the costs of government apparently continue | to mount and taxes are further increased. The only possible solution, it seems to me, lies in the education of the individual citi- zen ir the fundamental facts that all the people support the government and that the government cannot support all the people. “Somehow we must make every last man and woman and child realize that no matter whether taxes are paid directly or not, no citizen can escape paying his share of the cost of government that comes through the hidden taxes that are buried in every single purchase that he makes with his hard-earned dollar.” Here is a task for everyone, Brown points out, adding: “Everyone agrees that the cost of government must be reduced and_ that taxes should be cut.” Here, at last, is one subject on which all citizens can agree, ir- respective of nationality, or of color, or of religion, or politics. “Some people think that all we need is a new mayor, or a new governor, or a new Corgress. But what we really need is an aroused public opinion demanding that the cost of government must be re- duced.” Mr. THE UNITED STATES—SOLVENT Concern over the national debt of the United States is exhibited in many quarters. While no one would suggest the unneces- sary enlargement of the Federal debt, it is just as well for us to understand the funda- mentals regarding it. e A government’s ability to contract and pay debt depends upon its population, na- tional income, interest charges and the With a population of 126 million people, the United States, with a debt of thirty billion dollars, has a per capita annual interest charge of $5.95 and a per capita national debt of « $238. Moreover, as most people know, the per capita national income of the United States is much higher than that of any . other country in the world. For comparison, we call attention to figures recently advertised by A. M. Lam- port and Company, Inc., dealers in invest- ment bonds, emphasizing their declaration that “United States Government Bonds are the best in the world.” They point out that the per capita national debt of Eng- land is $717 and that of France $524, with per capita annual interest of the two countries being $21.74 and $28.57, re- spectively. F The company points out that there also exists in this country the debts of our political subdivisions states, cities, towns, ete.; amounting to about nineteen billion dollars and that both England and France have outstanding obligations of compar- able political subdivisions. However, after making a deduction for the obligations of our political subdivisions and, without al- lowing for the similar obligations of Eng- land and France, the annual debt of this country would have to be over seventy-five billion dollars to compare with the debt burden of either England or France. In giving publicity to these figures, | The Citizen does not imply that the United States Government should continue to pile up a huge national debt. Instead, we print them in order to reassure the citizens of Key West that the Government of the Uni- ted States is financially sound and its in- vestments are safe—unless this is the case, the welfare of the people of these United States would be imperiled and the future prospects of this great nation would be hopelessly involved.
