FEDERAL FUNDS FOR EDUCATION The National Education Association, meeting at Portland, Oregon last week, is advocating a bill providing $300,000,000 to the states to be expended “in such man- ner as their legislatures shall designate.” The measure is ment of the association and of teachers’ associations in every state. An effort will be made this summer and fall to. secure support from all congressional candidates who will be “persuaded” that it is “good politics” to favor the proposed bill. For the Federal Government to ad states for educational purposes would be a new drain } upon the Federal Treasury. However. basically, there 1s at least as much argu- ment for the proposal as there is in Fed- | eral appropriations for good roads. It is a fact that schoo] districts throughout the country are experiencing difficulties in s curing the funds necessary to provide rea- | sonable educational opportunities for the children. Moreover, in many districts, teachers have been paid in “orders” rather than in cash and in numerous their pay has been lung deferred. Objections to the Federal grant arise from fear that an attempt_may be made to keximent” education in the United States but the measure sponsored by the National Education Association attempts to safe- ‘ggiard any such danger. Too much em- phasis cannot be placed upon the import- ance of educational opportunities in this country where the success of our Govern- ment depends upon the ability of voters to understand and decide public questions. instances A BETTER DAY FOR THE INVESTOR “Investors will demand more and more service from brokers and exchanges,” said Charles R. Gay, President of the New York Stock Exchange, recently. “I be- lieve that investment is becoming con- tinuously and constantly more analytical, and that speculation in securities is grow- ing more intelligent, without losing any- thing of its aggressiveness. I am _ per- suaded, furthermore, that in the period of recovery and expansion which lies ahead both investors and speculators are going to uncover values in vld established businesses which were not revealed _be- fore. And in this process, and the con- sequent management of capital in reasoned ventures in securities, they will seek co- operation in uncovering necessary facts— cooperation which brokers and stock ex- changes naturally will be called upon to render.” The relation between the broker, stock exchange and investor has greatly changed in late years—and for the better. The Securities and Exchange Act has out- ! lawed many dubious practices, and affords great protection to Equally important, the changes have security buyers. great stock ex- voluntarily handling them. This means that the in- testor can, if he will, pursue an invest- ment program based on facts, not unrea- ned hopes. A POLITE REPORTER The gallantry of an old-time western reporter 1s recounted in a story which re- cently reappeared in several publications. It concerns the late great actress, Sara Bernhardt, and the late Sam Davis of the Carson City Appeal. Mme. Bernhardt and her company were playing in the West, when Davis was | requested by the San Francisco Examiner to meet her in Reno and accompany her to the then metropolis of Califernia, and he did so. After several days of acquaintance- | ship, during which Davis naturally show- ed the actress every attention, the time came to part, whereupon “the divine Sara” expressed her appreciation of his kindness! by kissing him on either cheek'and then on the mouth, saying: : “The right cheek for the Appéal, the left for the Examiner, the lips for your- self.” Nothing daunted, polite suggestion: cs > o —_—— een —— r¢ IF PPO LIT OL IIOP IP 2 Davis made “Madam, I also rep- Associated Press, which serves 380 papers west of the Mississippi river.” Whether he received the additional | expressions of appreciation to which he You’d be surprised who } appeared to be entitled, the story does not state. said to have the endorse- | adopted the; strictest possible rules to govern corpora-} tions listing their securities and brokers’ THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Y Ago Today As Taken From ‘The Files Of The Citizen Charles Wardlow, customs of-| ficer and appraiser at the local {bureau is confined to his home with a lame leg, the resu:t of a} | motoreycle accident on Duval| jstreet yesterday afternoon when his machine crashed into the rear} 'of Eugene Albury’s automobile.! |The clutch failed ta function at| {the proper moment, and the tai!- end collision “was ‘the result, Th the second accident in the re-' jcent past in which Mr. Wardiow | figured.

Many people no regard government ex- pend, ture as highly benefic- ial. It seems to stimulate in- dustry. tempo- rarily at least, and it vertain- | ly provides a means of sfipport for millions of people whether govern- ment employees or persons on re- lief. The expenditures of the govern- ment, or those drawing funds from it, create a demand for goods. and thus give employment to labor. This is seen. What is not seen, frequently, is that ' if the government did not impose ' heavy taxes to carry on numerous undertakings the taxpayers would nave more tunds to spend. and the spending of these funds would like- wise give employment to labor. The beneficial effect of the government's spending is seen, because the money is spent; the beneficial effect of the ( taxpayer's spending is not seen. be- cause obviously the taxpayers can not spend what they have to give to the government. It may be. of course, that the gov- ernment employs the tax money to tender services that the people re- quire, and that are best performed by the government. as, for example, po- lice and fire protection, the provision of highways, flood control, etc. In that case there is no loss as the result of (Address questions to the author, care of this newspaper) YOUR DESTINY By LE MARS | jects’ } from good to bad or governmental expenditure, but @ gain. However, the expenditure should be justified on the ground of the usefulness of the service, and not on the ground that government ex- penditure gives employment to labor. For example. a farmer needs a trac- tor, and he has the necessary money we may assume, for the down pay- ment. But he is not able to buy the tractor, because he has to use the money to pay his taxes. Does the ex- penditure by .he government of this tax mon imulate industry? Ob- viously not! What happens is that one kind of labor is displaced by an- other. A government employee has a job, and the beneficial results of his hi ing purchasing power are seen. What it not seen is that the purchasing pow- er that the government employee has might have been enjoyed by a laborer making tractors or materials for trac- tors. To illustrate the point further, take the proposed Florida ship canal or the Passamaquoddy hydro-electric Project. These were begun as a de- vice for creating employment. To many persons, even those in high places, the projects seemed meri- torious, because it was readily seen that they gave employment to labor What was not always seen was that the large sums of money that tax- payers must supply soon or late to Provide the necessary funds would also give employment to labor. if not diverted to the government treas- ury. If the government project is 2 sound one. such as the building of the Yanama Canal, the expenditure can easily be justified, but the tend- ency these days seems to be to regard almost any expenditure. no matter how prodigal, as justified, if it gives employment to labor. The widesprea acceptance of this mistaken notion is due to the fact that the advantages of such a policy are seen, but the disadvantages are un- seen. ly ane er to oward the 35th year the sub position will be changed |! vice vers be muca wear after this age it will more steady.
