Soak- ing the tourist is an unthinkable method to extend hospitality to them. It is estimated that more than a mil- lion dollars annually is the loss sustained in Key West through the abandonment of the F. E. C. Ry. This is something worth fighting for, and takes time and effort. Monday is the final day in which to pay your income tax. The person who has a ‘ : — large income tax to pay is to be envied, | while the one who has nothing to share! with Uncle Sam is to be pitied. Yet each of there is envious of the other. Prospects for a direct highway to Key West without ferry jumps loom brighter now than in many years. Alpha- officials have been reluctant to ad- vance $6,000,000 or more to span the keys alongside the Florida East Coast’s railway trestle and assuredly will not do so now that the trains aren’t running. But the! possibility of taking over the trestle for the road was speeded when F. E. C. re- ceivers reported funds to repair were not | in sight.

BETTER GET MARRIED If statistics recently compiled by Dr. William F. Ogburn of the University of icago are to be accepted as accurate, those who desire to retain wealth, sanity, and even life itself, should get married if they are not already that way. He declared that most ‘of the inmates of poorhouses and insane asylums are un- married; also that the death rate for single men and widowers is twice as high as that for married men. It has often been asserted that mar- ried men live longer, but a cynic once de- clared that this was not literally true, as “it only seemed longer.’”’ However, Dr. Ogburn’s researches seem to bear out the idea that married life is really conducive to longevity. To be on the safe side, therefore, a young fellow had better get married; pro- vided, of course, he can find someone who is willing to assume the role of party of the second part—or maybe it’s the first part. BUSINESS AND CAMPAIGNS Not many weexs will elapse before the public will hear that business is taking to the storm cellar because of the political campaign. The yarn is hard to kill. The records show that in six of the last ten presidential campaign years busi- | ness recovery was noticeable. In only four was there relatively poor trade and_ in} these “bad years,” as the New York Times ; points out “the business reaction resulted more often from causes inherent in the business situation itself than from appre- | hensions rouced by the electoral cam- ; paign.” CITY GASULINE TAX?
