With all this wind emanating from the lusty throats of political orators, it is a wonder there is no hurricane in sight. The Daily Democrat, of Tallahassee, came out last week in a green dress, with no explanations. St. Patrick’s day is in March. Mr. Hooyer isn’t promising a chicken in every pot. He isn’t promising even a pot.—Times-Union. Not even the pro- verbial pot. In one Nebraska town the people are just like one big family, says The Key West Citizen? What; scrapping all the time ?—-Times-Union. It is appropriate that a half-dollar bearing the likeness of P. T. Barnum is be- ing issued in a campaign year. Didn’t he say something about people wanting to be fooled? Even supposedly reputable > news- papers, steeped in partisan-ship, make sarcastic remarks about “nine old men” and their constitutions. That's the way things start and then get out of hand. Evidently a lump sum of $2,500 was somehow appropriated to finance an es- cort to the Elks Convention, but only $2,- 499 was expended. In the ‘interest of meticulosity, this column wants to know what has become of that unaccounted for dollar. The people of Florida at the Novem- ber election will decide whether they will amend the state constitution so that Flor- ida may participate in the three public as- sistance benefits of the Social Security Act —Old Age Pensions, Aid for the Blind and Dependent Children or Mother's Aid.

Roose- velt, Jr. and Miss Ethel Du Pont, whose father contributed largely to the American Liberty League, will announce their en- gagement shortly after the November 3 election. If eventually, why not now? Or is it considered that such announcement made now will drive away a considerable number of the proletarian electorate? SSUES SEneit camels US AR 3 SECURITY—HUMAN AND HUMANE This week looms large in the past, the present and the future. Columbus was, the farmers are, and Human Security dawns for a happier immediate future for | the aged, the helpless, the blind and that group in which, perchance, there may be found awaiting salvage, one of the great- est men or women of tomorrow, the de-! pendent child group. Florida is meeting the need of the mo- ment bya temporary expedient. Our Con- stitution does not permit us to obligate the State to,match the Federal grant which, with our cooperation, will do away with that out-moded institution, the “poor .’ “Therefore, the several counties have met the occasion, each by setting aside an estimated amount that will qualify them to receive their due portion of the Federal contribution to the support of the | needy, the aged, the blind and the little | children. This Federal “contribution” does not} just come out of a clear sky. In income and other taxes, we have established a credit in the Federal Treasury, from which we may draw for the account of “Social Security” for these three classes for whom we must provide. Our moral right to our share of this fund is“beyond question. It is a fund to} which we have contributed. More than! that, it.is a fund to which it is likely that we will continue to contribute for an in- definite time. To establish our legal right to our share of this fund, it is necessary to amend the Constitution of the State of Florida, so that the legislature, in its coming session, may make the necessary appropriation, that will be matched by Federal funds, plus five per cent. This amendment to the Constitution of the State of Florida, can not be made by the Legislature, unless it is first ap- proved by a vote of the people of the State. Unless it is so approved and passed, we can not share in the Federal fund set aside for this worthy cause. There can be little question as to the merits of the Social Security Act; which will be administered by residents of our own State. The three classes which it will aid, are (a) The needy aged, sixty-five years of age, or older. (b) The needy blind. (c) The child who can not be properly fed and clothed without State aid. These three classes we must help. There is no question about that. The help we have been able to render heretofore has not been adequate. There is no ques- tion about that. The fund from which we may receive Federal aid, is a fund to which we are contributors and, we repeat, one} to which we will continue to contribute whether we receive any of it or not. And there is no question about that, either. The act itself, and the statistics of the aged, the blind and the help-needing chil- dren have all been published, repetition of them is not necessary. They add up to a sum total of failing strength, perpetual darkness and ever-hungry children; an aggregate of woe that no living soul would | pass by without alleviating if he could. The Amendment will be printed on your ballot, and below it will be the spaces, ‘For the Ajmendment” and “Against the Amendment.” We are not urging you to vote for the amendment. We do not believe that needed. All that is necessary is to remind you of the opportunity you have to do as you perhaps, may yet come to wish that you might be done by, and put your Bo in the space that provides peace for the aged, light for the blind, and a chance for | life for little children in Florida. DIVIDING A HERD his story of dividing a herd of cows ew, but it may interest those who eard it. Anyway, it is a neat problem in trick mathematics. "3 farmer died possessed of a herd of ik s, of which he willed his wife one- half, his son one-third and his daughter one-hinth. The executor of the will was stumped, but called a mathematical shark to his aid, with this happy result: A cow was borrowed from a_ neigh- bor, making 18. The widow was given 9, which was one-half; the son got six, which was his one-third; then the daughter re- ceived 2, or one-ninth. This totalled 17, the number to be divided, while the bor- rowed cow was left. She was returned to her owner, and everybody was satisfied, “THE KEY WEST CITIZE!

Associate Professor of Southern More and more the Federal gov- ernment is entering into competi- tion with private enterprise. Few people realize that since 1932 in the oeighbor hood of twenty-four governmental corporations have been cre- ated to engage in activities which ordi- narily are not considered le- gitimate gov- ernment activ- ity. These corpo- rations, like so many other measures which have been initiated in the last four years, have been based on precedents established dur- ing the World War. At that time, however, there were only five cor- porations. These were the Emergncy Food Corporation. the Aircraft Pro- duction Corporation, the Food Ad- |’ ministration Grain Corporation, and the United States Housing Corpora- tion. Except forthe Housing Cor- poration, these organizations quickly were discontinued after’ the cessa- tion of the war. t After the beginning of the depres- sion when demands began. to be made for Federal action, it was natural that administrators, familiar-with-wartime precedents, should; r@vive the war- time methods. This attitute explains the formation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in_1932, which has developed into the most gigantic of all the Federal corporations. The number of corporations created to aid agriculture has been particu- larly prolific, Included in this cate- History, University of fornia Calif. gory are the Commodity Credit Cor- poration, the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, the Regional Agricul- tural Credit Corporation, the Produc- tion Credit Corporations, the -Pro- duction Credit Associations, the Cen- tral Bank for Cooperatives, the Banks for Cooperatives, the Dairy Market- ing Corporation, and the Pacific Wheat Export Corporation. Other corporations which have invaded the fields of private busi- ness are the two Export-Import Banks of Washington, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the | Reconstruction Finance Corporation Mortgage Company, the Federal Sav- ings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation, the Corporation for Foreign Security Holders, and the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. Usurping the field of private lend- ing agencies have been the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, the Pub- lic Works Emergency Housing Cor- poration, and the Federal Subsis- tence Homestead Corporation. No Federal corporation which has been created has more far-reaching implications than the Tennessee Val- ley Authority. In connection with it are the Tennessee Valley Associated Cooperatives and the Electric Home and Farm Authority, Inc. The existence of an emergency has been used as a justification for the creation of this maze of Federal cor- ‘porations. Only a few of them have disappeared. There’ seems now little inclination to follow the World War precedents by abolishing the Federal corporations, ostensibly created to deal with the emergency. With the passing of the emergency, American businessmen have a right to expect the Federal government to withdraw from competition with them.
