Violence and bitterness are the key- notes of life in Europe today. No good can come of that. Housing is making such progress to- ward perfection that the house that is di- vided against itself may be made to stand. It is a good habit always to appear as if your picture is being taken. “You may not feel as you look, but that sort of decep- tion is pardonable, and advisable. “IT Only Want a Buddy, Not a Sweet- heart,” Mary Pickford may now ap- propriately sing, since she and Buddy Rogers have decided to “take a walk” to the altar. The two former husbands of Wally, the favorite of Edward VIII, are better looking than the king himself. When age creeps on, one cannot be so particular in choosing. | —_—— — Secretary Ickes is advocating curtail- ment of spending, and ironically enough says the government is showing the way: If the government has been retrenching the past three years, heaven help us when it starts spending. It is reported that Babe Ruth is going into the movies again, and will be featured in a Warner Brothers’ short entitled “Home Run on the Keys.” Residents of the Florida Keys between Key West and the mainland will be interested when the short is shown. President Roosevelt would have made a first-class traveling salesman, because for one thing he likes to travel. On_ this trip he can sell the United Far bo Feth ras America, just asta King” as Prince of Wales he got in a good sales talk for dear old England. With drinking rampant once more, its evil effects become apparent, too. Aware of this, the 80-year-old classic, “Ten Nights in a Barroom,”’ will be revived in New Jersey by the Anti-Saloon League in church auditoriums throughout the State as an all-talking film. In this connection, it is noted that the Prohibition Party polled only 14,000 votes, the lowest on recod. LANDON’S SPORTSMANSHIP Governor Alfred M. Landon of Kan- sas is back on the job at Topeka without a gloomy outlook, expressing great satisfac- | tion at the thousands of letters he has re- ceived from people all over the country, | Although badly beaten in the presi- dential election, the Governor proclaims the “world of beauty’ in the United! States, remarking “what vastness, what desolation, what richness, all combined Within a single country.” | He terms the people marvelous, earn- est, active and enthusiastic. He says, they are “friendly, fair, live decent lives, take their politics seriously and studiously.” Moreover, the Governor thinks that presidential campaigns are “wonderful” and should be “maintained as they are now.” He thinks they bring the people | into closer relationships with their govern- ment, develop enthusiasm and deep in- terest in public affairs and bring home to} the people many facts of wide importance to them in their ordinary lives and business activity.” We think Governor Landon exhibits real sportsmanship in these observations which reflect credit upon him. However, his. sense of fair play is more evident when he.answered the question of a reporter who asked what was the most severe: sW6tk that came to him during the cam.) paign. Governor Landon’s reply was. “The booing of the crowd when the name of the President of the United States was mén- tioned. To me, that was the most severe stricture upon the fairness and decency of the American people. .. . I feel that the President of the United States occupies too high an office that the discussion of his policies should be greeted with boos. It was really distressing to me and I hope it can be stopped.” BIG MEN ARE SHY It may sound cynical, but it is a fact that the really capable men of the coun- try are becoming extremely shy of politics and political jobs. Whenever a man who has made a success in life is proposed as a candidate for either election or appoint- ment, he is immediately pounced upon by the demagogues and hounded without mercy. The situation was sized up some years ago by the late Will Rogers, who with his keen insight said of presidential appoint- ments: “Big men won't take them, for they won’t take a chance on a Senate insult. If he has ever earned more than a Senator, | he is in league with big business. If he| ever drove a Standard Oil truck or was aj bookkeeper in a Morgan bank he _ is in| league with monopolies. If he is rich he is in league with the devil. But if he has never done anything and has been a fi- nancial failure at that, he will pass the Senate as a brother.” While these are the words of a humor- ist, they contain a lot of truth. LITTLE REASON Immediately after the election, Sen- ator McKellar of Tennessee called for an investigation into The Literary Digest 1936 Presidential Poll and announced that he would sponsor legislation to place future straw votes under strict Federal supervi- sion. We see little reason for either the in- vestigation or the legislation. Certainly, there is no reason for this particular maga- zine to be singled out. Other polls went wrong and hundreds of newspaper cor- respondents reported their erroneous con- clusions as to what the voters would do at the polls. $223,000 TO ORPHANS It is pleasant to chronicle the fact that Col. E. R. Bradley, the only horseman who ever sent to the post four winners of “the Kentucky Derby, has placed in the mails checks for a total of $10,000 to pro- vide Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for the orphans of Kentucky. We under- stand that this year’s contribution will bring to $223,000 the amount that this sportsman has given to Kentucky orphans since 1921. In 1920, he inaugurated charity race meets at his farm, paying all expenses and giving the receipts to the orphans. In four years the meets netted $103,000 before be- ing discontinued during the depression. ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN You and Your Nation’s Affairs “Cockeyed” Taxatién’ By ELIOT JONES, Professor of Transportation and Public Utilities, Stanford The General Motors Company re- cently announced its ntention of evnstructing at Linden, New Jersey. one of the largest assembly plants in the world. The plant is to cost about $5,575,000. The Packard Motor Car Compa also announces that it ‘s com- pleting the doubling of its plant capacity ata cost of more than $5,000,000. The construc- tion of these plants will aug- ment employ- ment in th building trades and in all the branc! e of industry that supply building materials; and the increased prcs- perity of these groups will result ‘n an increase in the demand for other kinds of labor and other kinds of materials and suppl!

For example. only within the past veor a new tax bill was ed. plac- ing a graduated tax on the undis- (Address questions to the a: completed University oy tributed earn:ngs of corporations. Prior to the passage of: tHe act if any corporation, after meeting operating expenses (including ‘ depreciation), taxes (including a tax on its net in- come), and bond interest, had any- thing left, it was at liberty to dis- tribute it to its stockholders. As a n.atter of fact, however, many cor- porations, notably those that were expanding their operations and fa- cilities, elected to withhold part of their profits, and to reinvest them in the business. The result was that capacity was increased, giving em- ployment to labor, and costs were reduced, to the greatgbenefit of con- sumers. The principal suffe: from this policy were the stockholders; for they would have received ‘arger dividends had not the corporate income been reinvested in the business. But they were reconciled to the failure to re- ceive all the corporate earnings re- maining after operating expenses, taxes, and bond interest (if any) had been met, because they believed that the reinvestment of part of the earn- ings would improve the corporate po- sition, adding to its financial strength, enabling it to meet competitive situa- jons, and offering the%prospect of in- i ii future. the undis- jorporations. . is quite dif- nt. If corporate profits are not distributed to the stockholders, but are employed to enlarge or modern- ize plant facilities, the Government imposes a tax, ranging from 7% to ‘27%, depending on the percentage o1 earnings not disiributed. The effect, obviously, is to discourage corpora- tions from constructing new plants it as this tax which was recently dubbed “coc’eyed.” Notwithstanding the penalty tax, the General Motors and Packard Companies have made a large invest- ment in new plants.

There is more big game in Monroe county than in any other part of Florida. Bear, panther, deer, wild turkey and many other smaller anima!s and fowl are to be found in the Monroe county area. On the 10,000 Islands, Pine Key and Sugar Loaf, and all over the main- [land portion of the county, the } woods are full of big game. No lother section of the state offers better hunting than do the weed- ed parts of the county. “I had rather live in Key West than in Miami and desire to ex- change property in Dade county for property in Monroe,” is the substance of an advertisement ap- pearing in this issue of The Citi- zen. There is no doubt others feeling exactly like this adver- tiser, but who never before ; thought of using the advertising columns of The Citizen to tell it. Regardless of where people live, | they could not do better than trade in for a home place in this frost free fairyland of Key West, has been said many times, and now there are a few people who believe there is great truth in the statement and one person wants to try it. ~ DS.
