A legislator proposes designating our language as “American.” We agree that} a lot of the lingo we hear is not English. Let us by all means continue to run this country on the American Plan. No interjections of European subversive tom- foolery. Most women are perfectly satisfied if men agree with their views, are pocitive the men do not mean they say what Al Smith is an astute politician and as such knows his onions.

As soon as the possible detrimental effect of the petition was made clear to! those engaged in circulating it, they were j prompt to suspend their efforts to center | energy on the restoration of the railroad, | pending the outcome of the work being | done towards the establishment of a high- way connection over the viaducts. This is evidence of a cooperative spirit that promises well for the future of Key West, and the heartiest approval of The} Citizen, and of all Key West is accorded those who abated their well-meant efforts | in order that plans well under way might | go on to succe:s without interruption. Following close on the halting of the | petition came the welcome news that the last detail of the work had been agreed upon, and the allocation for funds to build the bridge had been made and that only the signature of the President was lacking to put the order, ‘Full Speed Ahead,” in- to effect. . The burning of the Big Pine-No Name Key bridge is a disaster that is robbed of its ability to dismay us, in the light of the major significance of the good news from } Washington, The steady stream cf adver-ity that has beset Key West has met with a definite check, and we may look for a revival of courage and enterprise on the part of our citizens from the least to the greatest. | The return of those exiled by force of | cireumstarces from the island they loved, will set in with ever and we may confidently look forward to the advent of new enterprise and new} capital to restore Key West to the proud position she once held. And, in the better days that are at last rea: us, our neighbors in the middle keys will have the satisfaction of knowing that they were} prompt to remove any hindrance which! their lack of a knowledge of the situation raight have created; and their considera- tion of our interests will assuredly result in their sharing the prosperity which the ; highway will carry into their territory on } has of | i | i | | increasing iably sure to come to its way to the Island City, | 1 FOR CHILD HEALTH Friday of this week has been set! aside by the President for the observance : of Child Health Day, and extensive ef- forts will be made to encourage the con- sideration of the health problems of Amer- ican youth. This important field of study has} been somewhat neglected for many years, | receiving special attention only in the | presence of specific diseases, It is high | time that an intelligent people, residing in a civilized nation, devote themselves seri- | ously to the task of promoting child health. Of course, it will be easy to make speeches and comparatively pass resolu-} particular benefits, some positive action! must be taken.

The field is wide open and the op- activity for the Federal Government, the State governments, and local units well. as FLYBLOWING THE CHURCHES Every once in a while you run up on! a citizen of Key West who tries to impress you with the broadness of his religious; viewpoint by taking a few pot shots at the } churches of the nation. The speaker will | tell about. helping other human beings in distress, and exhibit every sign of superior- ity over those who worship in organized | churches in the name of their religion. | It is rather seldom that these talkers realize that without the organized church- | es of the past it is highly improbable that | they would know very much about reli- It is worse than that.

The critics of the church are quite willing to accept the fruits of its work, but they are not al- ways just enough to give credit where it is due. volume | ~ DR. HARLEY L. LUTZ Internationally famous finance expert tion.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN cussing Public Problems for This Newspaper He is also co-author of “Public Finance, MONG the public finance and tax experts in this country few. if any, speak with greate authority on the complicated problems of meeting the expenses of govern- *ment than Dr. Harley L. Lutz, who has been added to tke staff of writers discussing public problems for this new. paper under the gen- eral title of “You and Your Nation’s Affairs.” Dr. Lutz is Professor of Public Finance in Princeton University. His reputatior as a taxation expert is international. He has served as # member of two commissions of financial advisors to foreign gov- ernments—Chile in 1925 and Poland the followin year. Several states have used Dr. Lutz's services as taxation ‘expert. In this capacity he has served: Ohio, New Jersey, Utah and the State of Washington. He is a member of the National Tax Association and was its President in 1927 and 1928. Dr. Lutz .t: written extensively on taxation problems. Among his books are “Siate Tax Commission,” Property for Taxation” and “Report of Joint Spec al Committee on Taxa- ‘The Georgia System of Revenue” and “A New Introduction to Economics.” With public expenditures having reached heights that stagger the‘imag- ination, with billions being spent by the lavish hands of Federal, State, County and Municipal authorities, with budgets having reached a chronic state of unbalance, the question, “Who is going to pay the bill and how?” has become about the most important issue confrontihg the citizen, whether businessman or housewife, employer or employee. As Dr. Lutz points out in his first article—a tax bill is like a check for a dinner in a restaurant, the size of it depends upon what is ordered..If the public insists on ordering everything from soup to nuts ia government serv- ices the bill that the people must pay is going to be high and the taxpayer who after all is the one who is doing the ordering—in theory at least—cannot continue to outfumble the other fellow when the time comes to reach for the purse ta nav the check.
