In his talk to the City Council August 19, WPA, Administrator Reck gave an excellent exhibition of hitting the nail on the ,head, and some phases of our sit- uation were brought home that should have been perfectly plain, long ago, on to us and without any as rivals. in a business-like manner, and the city ad- ministration is Key West’s busi- ness.

In the collection of taxes; a collection which we must make if we are to pay em- ployees the wages which we have agreed to pay them, (and there is no weightier ob- ligation known in the business world,) we have been friendly and considerate to a degree that constitutes a serious reflec- tion upon our sense’ of responsibility; and eripplesopr efforts to perform our obliga- | tions. not advocating harsh methods that might work hardships upon people temporarily helpless; there is no need of such methods. There is enough property now idle (because as soon as a prospective purchaser and user of it shows up the price is jumped beyond his reach,) there enough revenue producing property on which, as with the first class, taxes are long over-due, to place us on a self-sustain- ing basis, if steps are taken to collect these taxes, There have been some noble resolves made in the past to corret this condition, ; and the City Attorney was instructed to enter foreelosure proceedings on a num- ber of properties: but, evidently, there was heart failure somewhere along the line and proceedings were never begun. Every one of us senses a pulsation of new life in the veins of Key West. Our people are weary of futility. We are go- ing to need a lot of action in the future that lies before us; and action we are going to have. We are coming to the end of the era is | have | | Quite otherwise.

The preponderance of monetary experts and others who understand the principles of money and credit and the history of mone- tary standards, advocate an early re- turn, The groups which oppose such a return are a miscellaneous assort- ment of minority factions which for one reason or another manage to stir up a rumpus and to issue pronounce- ments regarding what should be done with our monetary system regardless of the absence of any important tan- gible evidence that they are qualified to speak with authority A business depression always brings out these money “reformers.” A business recovery kills them off Since this has been an unusually se- vere depression, this country has had an unusual supply of these radical monetary - reform groups. Many of them are ‘still hanging on, and some of them are fairly dangerous. Pernaps they will continue to be dangerous until this country returns to a sound currency basis and a widespread re- covery puts so many people to work at useful occupations that there are ; few left to continue their disturbing harangues. In the midst of the turmoil it may be enlightening to make a list of the important organizations and groups which have gone on record as advo- cating a return to a gold standard. Some of them have broadened their recommendations to include the lead- ing nations of the world. The list is not complete by any means.

FILE FINGERPRINTS The Civil Identification Section of the fingerprints to its collection. Not the fingerprints of criminals or those who have been arrested but the prints of Americans who want theirs filed for purposes of iden- tification whenever it might be helpful. In June over 16,000 such fingerprints were voluntarily sent in to the Department and added to those on file. This is desirable. Every now and then a man or woman is found wandering around, who they are or where they come from. If] sueceed in reaching maturity, the supply of this sea food will not be exhausted any time soon.

The guess of this column is that if Roosevelt is elected she will get back her old job or a better one in exchange, their fingerprints were on file, they could be identified and their loved ones notified. Then, they wouid receive proper care and the suspense of relatives ended as to the ap | | whereabouts of the missing member of the family. 5 People die oftentimes amid strangers and far from home. Nobody knows their names or who to notify of the loss. Finger- prints sent to the Department could easily tell everybody who the unknown person was. During one month the Department received the fingerprints of 288 persons who had died and who were unknown, but} with even the limited file in its possession the Department was able to identify 72 of these positively and 53 tentatively, '/ which were confirmed.
