The burden of their mainten- ance would be a heavy load for the city | ‘and county to carry. | It has been suggested that @ sales tax be levied here® to provide sponsorship | funds; that the occupational licenses be | taised and that a greater effort at tax col- | lection be put forward. Of these sugges- | | tions the one most likely to produce any sizeable revenue without unduly burden- ing our business and commercial enter- | prises is the ‘collection of taxes now owed | the city. Payment of taxes at this time would serve two purposes—provide the | city with funds for ordinary operations and | provide the sinews for sponsoring WPA | projects. It should become a matter of duty for every taxpayer to do what he | | can at this time to help this cause. However, it does not seem that any of the discussions now under way will bear any fruit unless the sponsorship: progrdm is organized and placed in the hands of an active, determined leadership. Haphaz- ard talk about the need for street repairs, | sewer and water connections, mosquito control work, construction of public beach- es and other projects will not’ get’ any- | where. : Definite reeommendations for specifie | projects and a program for raising the | money are called for. Then organization and a leadership. that will get action must be insured. The Citizen hopes these’ will | be forthcoming At Thursday’s meeting. If | they are not Key West will be up against a most serious situation that will react on | everyone, every man, woman and child, every business and every activity in the | city, ; % EARN WHAT YOU WANT THE KEY WEST CITIZEN pass asst Reproduced above is a pictorial record of Dodge Truck’s Pan American Good-Will tour through Mexico and Peru in South America.

Young people of Key West might stand that the majority of those who have worked for what they acquired. Too often, the youthful mind is im- fortune by some exceptional figure that looms in the public consciousness, little Yealizing that such a career is: the great who got to the top by sheer diligence and persistence, rather than through some streak of luck or opportunity. More and more there is abroad in the world’ a conviction that indiyiduals who do not earn what they have ‘are not en- titled to their possessions. The thought is not'so bad. If every youngster who begins a business life in the next ten years gets thoroughly imbued with the idea of giving value for money or rewards received the business world won't’ be worried as mych by the next period of depression and‘ the chances are that the people of the next generation will find a happier proposi- tion.
