There is no question that the Ad- ministration is spending the people’s money right—and left. There is no statute to compel an in- dividual to trade at home, but self-interest advises us’to do so.

Pleasant memories of the Keys, in- cluding Key West, are revived by recent newspaper, magazine and news reel features. Ho, for the open oversea road! —P. E.

That’s pretty close to being lese majesty! Why not do like Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin and eliminate the representatives of the ‘opie by abolishing both the sen- ne house of representatives. “A joth your houses,” It taxpayers a lot of money. Florida papers coming to The Citizen contained in several instances almost two full pages of Murphy Act pardons for a single individual, Think of what amount of money that man saved by dodging his taxes, and while in the act of thinking, think of the loss to the county and state and what tax delinquency means in gen- eral terms. And still we believe that honesty is the best policy! A Mavbespondent ona acthatn paper gave a really interesting account visit to Key West, but his revelations were a little too “hot”, about the terrific heat and the*mad dogs he found here. He! writes! y “Of this island it may said inboty mad dogs and tourists go out in the mid-day sun. But the Spanish- speaking cops here make quick work of the mad dogs. This leaves the whole town to the mercy of the tourists during 4 p.m. Maybe, when the bridges come they will change this old Spanish custom.” The writer has lived more than a score of years in Key West and has never en- countered any mad dogs. The pooches might get a little “sassy” on occasion bu! they don” get mad at anybody. a would | of his} truly be} the | siesta hour from about noon until about | THE MEXICAN CONTROVERSY The controversy with Mexico, over its expropriation of oil properties belonging to American citizens, serves to call atten- tion to the friendly attitude which this country has shown to the Mexican govern- ment in the past. The silver purchase agreement, now suspended, is said to have provided the Mexicans with funds for their ‘purchases in this country. Although Mexico recently inereased its duties against American goods there was no counter-move in the same direction here. The arms embargo, maintained against shipment of munitions to Mexico, has tended to solidify the posi- tion of President Cardenas. The sympathy extended to thé Mexicans in their attempt to work out peculiar social and economic | problems has beer. notable. In the present issue, the Mexican gov- ernment has seized valuable properties, be- , longing to foreigners, without much _ evi- dence of an intention or ability to pay for them. In the ease of certain lands, seized | some time ago, the owners were paid in | bonds, which became practically worth- less when no interest was paid. What the United States insists upon is that the Mexi- ean government, when it takes property of ; Americans, shall pay for what it seizes. | There i¢/ao: argument as to the right of | - Bei hs? to assume control of the oil | properties;,the only. question. is whether ‘bthey shall be; purchased or stolen.) al i 2c f | 15 iM ' HOOVER REPORTS ON:EUROPE | Former President Herbert Hoover has just come home from an extended trip through Europe, where many nations took | pleasure in paying deserved tribute to his great work during the hectic days of ‘the World War and just after that struggle. He is convinced that a general war is not imminent in Europe but impressed with the change from democratic to authori- tarian forms of government, the degenera- tion of the economic situation in* regards to government finances and barriers to trade and the outstanding fact of arma- ment everywhere at an increasing pace. Outside of one or two Balkan states there is not a balanced budget in Europe and every country is going further into debt. At the same time he reports that fear.” OVERSEAS HiGHWAY SHOWS GREAT ENGINEERING SKILL (The Lakeland News) In the eight years while Henry M. Flagler’s $49,000,000 was building the Florida East Coast Railway’s Key West extension between 1904 and 1912, feats of engineering skill unheard of in those days were exhibited by the daring leaders of the Flagler army of more than 4,000 men. built withstood the fearful hurricane of Labor Day, Sept. 2, 1935, and upon them has been built with a portion of a $3,600,000 Federal grant and | loan, the necessary links to make the Overseas an all-the-way road.

The island be- | came a part of the United States 116 years ago | last Friday. As the motoring public rides the bridges of cantilevering huge } steel and cement erected by girders across the abandoned Flagler bridges, this public may well give thought to the | feats of skill of modern engineering amazing In one case the highway goes 65 feet right up into the sky over the very crest of the lattice-trussed Bahia Honda bridge—an almost unbelievable thing till | one has seen it | til today and Gulf, across mangrove swamps and tiny islets —a thrilling trip which may well remind one of the first messages ever sent over the electric tele gtaph by its inventor, Samuel Finlay Morse; “What hath God wrought.” But mow the way is cleared past sea Breese Higher rates may help the railroads, Lut some freight to carry would be even | more helpful. one of the outstanding forces is “just plain | The bridges which a part of those millions | Highway connecting Key West with the mainland | ication is not | Work on that bridge alone has {| delayed the informal opening of the highway un- | UTTHE KEY WEST CITIZEN | KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Takes From The Files The well known lid was blown elean off the county political pot with the arrival of April 1. and! candidates for various county of- fices, who have been more or less gunshy, are now tumbling over themselves to flop right out in the open and let-all the folks see ‘them and heat’ their' claims. With the gubernatorial race in} full swing the state has, been} pretty well aware that a primary was scheduled for June but in the county the matter has!) been» al- lowed to take its course until a, few days ago. Just about 60 days of campaigning are left and all candidates, active or prospective, are aware of the time element. Indications are that thete will be many surprises by the time all the names of candidates are in tand from what can be heard on the street and among those who are “in the know” there will be a large group of announcers to choose from. About 700 naval officers and men will have shore leave this afternoon and tonight. U. S._ Nokomis, Vestal, Sandpiper and Bagaduce arrived at the local navy yard piers today from the winter maneuvers in Cuban wa- ters. The Bagaduce was enroute to Norfolk,,;Va., for repairs, but her orders were changed, sending her to her home berth at Key West. The other boats came in| for supplies and fuel and are en- route to other southern ports for shore leave. The number of men on the vessels added to the per- | sonnel of the Antares, which is here until next Tuesday, will be around 700, it is said, most of whom will have shore leave at different periods this afternoon. S. Winfield Roberts today en- | tered the race for supervisor of! registration for Monroe county. ‘He will make an aggressive cam-|° paign from now until the first primary in June. He points out | that he is known to almost every | person in the city, and that he is qualified to hold the office. Editorial comment: Those most | inclined to censure present day | young folk are inclined to over- look the fact that there must be something wrong with present- day parents or the children would be better trained.
