Ben has shown"to the people of every civilized country in the world, except Iceland, Greenland and Denmark. This is Mr. Beno’s first trip to Key West and as soon as his contract expires with Play- land Park he will return to Spain.

But there is a strong wing of the Democratic party, led by the Southerners, | who are openly working to pre- | vent New Deal domination of the | next convention.

As Dewitt MacKenzie, an AP ex- pert, writes, “The smashing of Czechoslovakia, and France’s ab- dication of her influence, have enabled Hitler to impose a con- trol under which these compara- tively small countries henceforth will not live for themselves but for the benefit of the father- land”. Thus does the balance of pow- er shift. It means that billions in trade will be lost to other powers. It means that Hitler is gradually building a German- dominated empire exceeding even the dreams of Bismarck. And finally, it means that the outlook for Democracy in Europe was never blacker. Some experts feel it to’ be inevitable that France will eventually succumb, | and become a totalitarian state, | more or less on the Fascist mod- el.

ERRONEOUS IDEA Editor, The Citizen: In the tax discussion now go- ing on I see continually repeated an erroneous idea which is that} an individual owning no property pays no taxes, while getting all| the benefits of government. This} jis one of the pet arguments used | by the Sales Tax advocates. | As a matter of fact, the in-| dividual who owns no property pays more taxes and gets less for his money than the property owner. Merchandise is priced on orig- | inal cost, freight and expense of doing business, which includes taxes, so the purchaser of the} merchandise pays the taxes. Rents are based on the value of | the property maintenance and taxes, so the renter pays the) taxes. All business is done on this) principle. Governmental service includes protection to the person and com- forts and conveniences, which the individual could not obtain in any other way and also includes protection of all kinds te prop- erty. It is quite evident that the in- dividual who owns no property gets less service for his taxes— only personal service—while the property owner gets personal and property service. I repeat, the individual who | owns no property, while paying no direct taxes, pays indirect taxes and gets less for his money than the property owner. I will appreciate anyone com- ling forward and trying to dis- prove these facts. PERRY G. WALL. January 16, 1939.
