It is about time for the English-speak- ing people to produce a great poet but we invite no specimen verse from those who think they can fill the order. “Is thére any reason,” asks the Key West Citizen, “why non-taxpayers, par- ticularly those known ‘to be tax dodgers, should not be déprived of the privilege | and protection accorded property owners who do'pay their taxpayers? The virtue of tax paying may be its own reward, but there is further satisfaction in seeing these penalized ‘who disdain that virtue.” The expériment was tried in Fort Myers.

None of | the proposed ° rovisions so far advanced | ‘? BY’ sub- committees;has been approved by are be- | the ‘central group, yet objections ing heard. Naturally, the proposed charter will not meet with the approval of some of our’ public officials. Some of them do not like the proposal for a commission form of gov- rnment, others do not want anything to do with the suggestion that municipal em- ployes be placed under civil service regula- tions and a few believe the present char- ter, a cumbersome, ineffective collection of | legislative odds and. ends which permits them to escape ‘paying taxes, is just fine and dandy. Although fully 90 per cent of the | membership of the Charter Revision Com- mittee are native Key Westers or residents of long and good standing in the com- munity, ugly statements are being hurled against a few of the progressive new- comers in the community who want to, mike this a better place in which to live.

Key West is being given much publicity on the backs of en- velopes sent out by the Atlantic Coastal Highway Association. Printed in red ink from bold type in excellent display, the enve- lopes are attractive and the an-! nouncement reads: “Travel the Atlantic Coastal Highway, Calais, Maine, to Key ‘West, 2,290 ‘miles.
