Senrsolidation of County and City Governments. DROUGHT VICTIMS AND RELIEF Estimates that 2,000,000 persons on farms and in rural communities will re- quire relief this winter emphasizes the ex- tent of the drought’s effects in many Am- erican States, To give assistance to so many people will take a lot of money and the question is, where will it come from? Accepting the drought as a natural disaster, in the ! same sense that cyclones and earthquakes are natural disasters, presupposes that the American people, as a whole, will want to ; extend aid to the victims of the tragic dry | spell. We are not much concerned with the source of the money. Whether it comes from the Federal government, as a strong | central government able to care for its af- flicted people, or whether it comes from the treasuries of individual States, guard- | ing their rights and assuming their dens, is not a matter of much concern to us. What is important is that undue suf- fering be avoided and that families be : aided to pull through an era of misfor- tune. WHO WILL WIN? Many are wondering who will win in.: this or that race. time.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ~-You‘an |Nation’s: Third Party— The organization of a new national party with a candidate for the presi- dency raises the question of just how badly we need another political party. ff one were dis- posed to be flip- pant he would | say that we : need it about as i badly asa sheep needs | ‘ two heads.

On the basis of nation- | al policies, it has long been difficult for a thinking person to know wheth- er he is, or should be. a Republican or a Democrat. Much of the criticism | that is aimed at both party platforms is justified by the fact that each plat- form is devised as an appeal to per- sons of widely separated viewpoints. The result is, inevitabiy. a straddle that is inconsistent and unconvincing. After all, there is only one really | fundamental division between politi- ica viewpoints. This is the distinction between conservatism and liberalism ‘ with respect tothe nature and scope of | governmental ‘services and functions. If we could get a genuine national political alignment on this basis, the respective platforms would be con- sistent and the voters would have a By HARLEY L, LUTZ, Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University Affine | A Class Party party, like its predecessors in earlier | periods of depression, is a temporary capitalization of discontent. It is not concerned with the fundamentals of statecraft nor with the essentials of { good public administration. It repre- sents a curious affiliation of persons and Interests whose passing popular- ity is due to the large promises they have made. The worst aspect of miscellaneous political parties is that they represent, invariably, some demand for special | favors or benefits from government. Thus, a farmers’ party, if successful, would operate government for the benefit of agriculture; a labor party would serve the interests of labor; a teachers’ party would legislate pri- | marily for teachers; and a communist party would run things for the bene- fit of communists, All of this is totally inconsistent | with the purposes of a democratic government. All sorts of persons, fol- lowing all sorts of occupations, make up the state. Its paramount duty is the equitable administration of pub. lic services for the common bene! of all. When the people begin to or= ganize political parties made up of. special groups and seek in this way to capture the supreme power of gov- ernment with the avowed purpose of exercising its favors—and its penal- ties—in the special interest of par- ticular groups, they aré sttiking a | Rév. KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY | Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen The wedding of Charles E. Smith and Miss Rebah Blanche; Herrick yesterday afternoon 5:30 o'clock in the First church was one of the most bril- liant nuptial events of the year in Key West. The rites which unit- ed the couple in the holy bonds of wedlock were impressively read by L. Munro and the church presented a scene of beauty in its attractive decorations of ferns, potted plants and roses, with trim- mings inte: sing the tropical green, forming a delightful pan- orama of exquisite beauty. After the marriage an elaborate recep- tion was held at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Blanche Her- rick on William street.

WAR OF 1812 PENSIONS The death of Mrs, Lydia Ann Graham of Brushy Run, W. Va., at the age of 90, does not mean that the veterans’ admin- istration can close its books on the cost of the war df 1812. One widow of a veteran of that war and one daughter of a veteran are still in receipt of pensions paid on account of a war fought almost a century and a quar- ter ago, according to the New York Sun. Mrs. Graham was the widow of Isaa¢ Graham, who was 79 when he was mar- ried and 91 when he died. Mrs. Graham was only 32 when she married and only 44 when she became a widow. A similar case might be imagined of a world-war veteran. Suppose a a a in 1895 and married in 1974 at thie age of 79, to a woman of 32;° Suppose; further, # that the woman lives to ‘as ‘Yipe an old age as Mrs. Graham reached, in that case it is possible to look forward to the payment of pensions in 2041 on account of the World War. A BATTLESHIP AT WORK There are those, including Brother Arthur Brisbane, the distinguished editor, who believe that the day of the warship is past and that aerial squadrons will hence- forth decide battles on the sea. They may be right but the recent en- gagement off the shores of Africa indicate no such development up to the year 1936. It seems that the rebels succeeded in land- ing Morrocan troops on the coast of Spain and that the next day the battleship Jaime, a cruiser and two destroyers, after fighting , off air attacks, proceeded to, Morocco, raked the rebel strongholds, destroying ships and raking land batteries and bar- racks. Newspaper dispatches say the smaller ships acted as a rear guard while the bat- tleship did the heavy work. The incident focuses attention on the function of heavy ships and indicates that the naval heads of the great powers know what they are do- ing when they put their trust in battle- ships, able to take punishment and pass it out, ba tr and near onthe gast. oni | \ pa Strai gree a contribution toward the re- alignment of our political organiza- tions in the proper direction.
