In of the coming campaign oratory over radio, it is fortunate that re- ception is not so good during the summer. view Pay up or shut up, is an injunction ihat should be applied to all tax dodgers —those property Owners who can pay and will not. One Albania newspaper puts it this way: “If you like our paper tell the world; if you don’t like it, keep your fool mouth shut.” Key West can be made more attrac- tive through the combined efforts of its citizens. Let’s all get busy with a_ pro- gram of improvement of our own property. The wise man knows that human be- ings, as a whole, have merely scratched the surface in the field of intelligence. The boob thinks he has the field enclosed inside his skull. At mother pacher asked a little boy who his was before she was married, and the iiitle fellow replied he didn’t have any mother hefore she was married. Perhaps not, but we can't alwzys sometimes tell. The governme e seems to have a punitive weapon in the income tax. When- ever it cannot reach an offender in a di- rect way there is always the income tax evasion on which to fall back, and it is sur- prising to see the targe number of tax evaders— ard we Coa’t mean the under- world gang:ters altogether, either. The Red Cross has appealed to the people of the United States to donate for} the relief of the flood sufferers “in the East. In the local FERA' and WPA _ ad- ministration building there are over one hundred persons receiving government re- lief right along and yet all these relief beneficiaries responded only with $7, W. Lawton Bates, local treasurer of the Key West Red Cross Chapter, informs the pub- lic in an article printed in The Citizen Wednesday. Human nature is not much to brag about, but when recipients of re- lief are indifferent to the sorrows of fel-| low sufferers, the limit of ingratitude has been reached. | | riers, and giving every country a | through a spiritual awakening. { as we are concerned, we wish to go on “UTTER COLLAPSE” VS. “SPIRITUAL AWAKENING” The Honorable Roger Babson, statis- tical expert and well-known financial writer, after reviewing the economic forces of the world, comes to the conclusion that | “business should continue to improve for a few more years.” However, do not conclude that the} He be- lieves that ‘eventually a ‘receiver’ must be appointed for this grand old world of ours, cutting down debts, wiping out trade bar- fresh business foreca:ter is optimistic. start.” Mr. Babson says, “This about either through utter can come collapse or ” As far record in favor of the “spiritual awaken- ing” because we have no desire to ex- perience whatever an “utter collapse” may be. Boiled down, this spiritual awakening means a little less selfishness on the part of individuals and * nations, willingness and readiness to render service for just reward and the espousal of a “live and let live” policy. ‘ So, if the people of the world, which includes the people of the United States and those residing in Key West, avert the threatening ‘utter collapse,” they might as well start ‘getting religion.” However, it is barely possible that - the “grand old world” will manage to wiggle out of its present difficulties without ex- periencing either a spiritual or an utter collapse. Before doing any- thing drastic, let’s wait and see what hap- pens. EXPECTS EUROPEAN WAR Walter Duranty, for many years Rus- sian correspondent of the New Times, expects a war to break out in Eu- rope soon, although not “in the next year or two.”’ The correspondent beiteves that the French General staff wants to fight, but that wiser heads are not certain what might happen when war begins. Ger- many, he says, “‘is not yet ready.” In the Far East, Mr. Duranty is not looking fora war at any time in the near future. Russia is confident that she can defeat Japan in the east or Germany in the west, but doubtful about taking them both at the same time. Because of recent de- velopments in Japan, he does not expect the island Empire to start anything soon. The Russian Army, the largest in Europe, is not a problem because the Russians have “plenty to do inside their country” and will be occupied in doing it for many years. ORIGIN OF “DIXIE” the is An interesting account of how South came to be known as “Dixie” given on the authority of Fred W. Thomp- son,.a Richmond banker, who the term was first applied to money issued by a New Orleans bank before the Civil War, principally in $10 bills. These bills, because of the large French-speaking population of Louisiana, were printed in French on one side and in English on the other. On the French side the word “dix,” meaning ten, was prominent, and the Americans got to call- ing the bills ‘“dixies.” From that Louisiana came to be known as the land of the dixies, or Dixie Land. Then Dan Emmett, a Northern minstrel, got hold of the idea and com- posed the song “Dixie” for a show per- York. The term Dixie soon came to be applied to the entire} South. And there you are—if Mr. Thompson is right. forming in New TO OPEN NAVY YARD?
