Spending money is much easier than saving it, which explains why some Key West people haven't got any cash in the bank. Excessive tidiness is said to indicate a peculiar kind of insanity—from which mest newspaper workers are happily im-| mune. Advertising, by itself, cannot manu- facture profits but when you link it,to a liberal, progressive merchandising _ policy there is no telling where it will go. Florida bonds are continuing their clime. Key West bonds jumped four points, which was due unquestionably to the work having started on the bridges. Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has been on the throne since her tenth year, in| 1890, and now that Princess Juliana, her | daughter, is married she would like toj abdicate and be relieved of her queenly | burdens. | | Much favorable comment was heard after The Citizen's editorial in Monday's issue in which the city council is repre- ted as determined to put tax dodgers | the spot. Whether this is merely an} oe gesture to the tax payers re- in#t0be seen, but the declaration} coms to be genuine. The taxpayers of! K@y West are getting extremely tired tired } of having to bear the burdens of the tax dd@igetS, Meaning those who can pay and} will not. There are other towns facing al similar situation. St. Augustine, for in- stance, being pressed for funds to run th city, has decided to get tough with apathe. tie property owners, who are enjoying the | benefits of the city government, yet re- -main cold in the face of attractive offers of adjustment._ There, as well as in Key West, pleadings have failed of their pur- pose, and the lash of the law must be ap-/ plied, if results are to be obtained, “acceptance. ‘commerce without the consent of | pay taxes. i munists, And no political party of all parties have done their part to fa | 20 per cent of the national THANKS, MR. MELLON! Andrew W. Mellon, former Secretary of the Treasury now being sued by the government for alleged failure to pay proper income tax, offers the United States government his great collection of paintings, estimated to be worth $19,000,- 000 and the money to erect a building to accommodate his gifts of art and any others that may be donated to the govern- ment by others, — There should be no lack of apprecia- tion of the offer and no hesitation in its Mr. Mellon may, or may not, be regarded as the best Secretary of the Treasury that the nation has had in a long time but he has done a fine thing in a big way. For years he has been collecting a great art collection, placing “emphasis on quality rather than quantity.” Mr. Mellon’s gift will begin a great national collection that all visitors to the | national capital will be able to enjoy. His offer specifically provides that his name is not to be attached to the gift, which is wise, if modest, because the art institute of a great nation should not bear the name of an individual, The editor of ‘Thé Citizen 'is no great authority on art but he‘ ean recognize names of the great that are’ represented in Mr. Mellon's collection, : , Which ‘includes paintings by Raphael, Jan van: Eyek, Bot- ticelli, Titian, Holbein, Rembrandt, Goya, Greco and other notables, many of which he has seen in the art galleries of Europe. MEXICO’S GOOD EXAMPLE With the United States anxious to| prevent the shipment of war materials from this country to a nation engaged in war the possibility of evading restrictions | by shipping through a neutral nation has been evident. The Mexican government, however, has advised the State Department that it will not serve as an intermediary for such the | United States. This means that Mexico, | while selling war material of its own manufacture to the Spanish government, will not be a party to the violation of the policy of a neighboring nation. President Cardenas, it is said, acted against the advice of some of his aides in making this decision, which is called a practical demonstration of his apprecia- tion of the good neighbor policy of Pr dent Roosevelt. If the United Stat wishes to prevent such shipments of its} goods, the Mexican President takes the} view that, as a good neighbor, Mexico H should not do anything to nullify the course adopted. H While there may be some doubt as to the wisdom of the policy of this country there should be none in regard to the at- | titude of the Mexican Fresident. The | peace of the world would be on a solid | basis if all countries showed as much re- spect for the regulations _ofagther nations. ring coed Aria MTS It's time a took » took stelth tennis ‘gut of polities.
