So another Melon is cut for charity— and the largest of them all. Not everybody who listens to a speak- er expects to pay any attention to what he says.

FOR FISCAL AFFAIRS The other day the government of the United States closed its fiscal year, but| what does the average citizen know about | the fiscal affairs of the federal ment? For that matter, what does the aver- age inhabitant of Key West know about the fiscal management of the affairs of his home town, his home county and his home We regret to report that they know practically nothing, and it is not al- together the fault of the people. The operation of governments is not state? | a matter for a few officials, regardless of how able and honest they may be. Gov- ernment, in this country, is a partnership of all the people, and the officials in charge should render an accounting to their co-partners, Just how this is to be done, we do not particularly care. The best way that | we know for the people of a government to be acquainted with the fiscal affairs their officials is for the officials to adver- | tise their financial statements regularly. There are laws in many states requir. ing this, but financial publicity should be required of all public agencies spending j money, from the federal government down | to the least official board, including school boards, ADVERTISING NOT CHARITY AND NO MAGIC WAND There are merchants in Key who do not believe in advertising. For reasons of their own they choose to think ; that when they pay The Citizen for space ; they are making a generous donation to ‘the livelihood of the editor and his co-| horts. They prefer to think that the home town should have a newspaper as a mat- ter of charity. This newspaper does not seek adver- tising upon the charity bas We _ have for sale advertising space, a as valuable as any being sold on the Am- erican market today, provided the man who purchase it has a use for it. Advertising, Mr. Merchant, is not fairy story, or a magic wand to wave over incompetent merchandising and trans- form it into a whooping success. Back of the advertising that a merchant pays for must be an ability to serve the public, ef- ficiently and economically. These factors, plus wise and honest advertising, will make any business grow. FINANCIAL ADVICE FOR 1937 It is not particularly our business, but inasmuch as an editor is supposed to offer gratuitous suggestions along many lines, we decided to urge our readers to start saving some money. There are many men in Key West to- day, who are old and nearly broke, cause they always intended to begin sav- ing “next year.” The always figured that their prospects were so bright that “in a year or two” they could put it in the bank in hunks! | The main lesson for. young couples to! learn, since it is*teo late’ for older ones to profit by advice, is f° live «below each | year’s income.

There are people in Key income West w ho | be just as hard up on $2,400 or $4,600 a year. They have the habit of whatever they anticipate they can for. That is not the way to get ahead.
