Sptitied tones ‘credited to A KEY WEST GAS TAX . in _ The city council has picked out one commodity for special taxation to meet the need for municipal sponsorship of fed- eral work projects. Gasoline is that com- modity. The ordinance placing a muni- cipal tax of one cent a gallon on gasoline has passéd the council on first reading. Assuming that ordinance finally passes council and is signed by the mayor, what then? What kind of projects. will the city council sponsor? What kind of effort will be required of the relief workers who will receive the taxation money? Will the municipal gasoline tax become a_per- manent racket? Will it actually, be abolished when the present. so-called sponsorship emergency ends? Will - city council do anything about collection of taxes now due the city, thus providing the money to prevent similar emergencies in the future? Protests against contributions for sponsorship of federal projects come from those who believe their money will go largely to pay allegedly unnecessary of- fice and field supervisors employed by WPA;; from those who believe their money will be wasted on weed-pulling, dirt-lifting projects and from those who believe their money will go to men who won’t give an honest day’s work once the projects are sporfsored. The first protest appears unfounded. Supervision costs on WPA projects are fixed at 5 per cent of the total expendi- tures. Office forces employed here are paid ‘out of state WPA funds, not from | municipal sponsorship money.

That beats the Duteh for cleanliness, Most of us still cling to the old- fashioned thought that saving, not spend- ing, is a virtue. But everything seems to Be in reverse in this topsy-turvy world. The question is sometimes raised why We have no typographical symbol. for “Soy” and “sorrow.’’ What about the plus and minus signs; they will do for the pur- pose. + * The charge that Joe Louis put.a“‘gim- mick” in his paw the night he almost an- nihilated Max Schmeling, is of course the. bunk, but at the same time quite ~compli+ mentary to the champion pugilist. What did he use when he disposed of the other contenders? >~ Before 1914 nations were looking for incidents to start wars and the world war was the result of an incident. Now there ogeur incidents but none of the powers are ijclined to make them a casus belli, The incidents at Danzig and Tientsin would lave touched off conflagrations 25 years ago, but only protests were forwarded. Perhaps we have learned something from the world war. But if the incidents eon- tinue One of them might test the patience of some power, then what might happen would be too dreadful to contemplate. Among United States Jews, drunken- ness is practically nonexistent, and the reason is social tradition. Dr. Abraham Myerson, of Boston, made this statement: “Tie Jew had to live by his wits in an en- vironment where he had to’ maintain the fgll potency and coherency of his per- sonality. Alcoholism became dangerous to the group and received severe punish- ments? ig one of many reasons why. the Jew is eminent and predominates in any line in which he engages, and not be- cause he is naturally endowed with su- by council by stipulating that all money raised by the gasoline tax shall be allotted | for sponsorship only of good public im- provements such as municipal beaches, sewer and water connections, street re- pairs, mosquito control and sanitation pro- | grams and the like. — The third protest is pretty well founded. While some WPA workers do give a fair amount of work for the money they receive, a majority do not. There is daily visual evidence of excessive shovel- leaning, time-consuming and other waste- ful practices on the mistaken theory that the more a man loafs the longer the job will last. Many men deliberately dodge private employment where a day’s pay in- volves giving a day’s work in favor. of WPA “projects “where we don’t have to wor! No one can blame taxpayers for protesting such practices. People gen- erally want something for their money. If WPA workmen will produce a series of tangible public works without excessive | loafing the protests will end. | In passing gasoline or any other spe- | cial sponsorship tax city couneil is charged | with the duty of protecting the taxpayers’ money from dissipation on bad projects by lazy workers. Council is also charged with the duty of providing for instant re- peal of all such insidious taxés the minute this alleged emergency ends. Further, city countil is charged with the responsibility of collecting property taxes when they are due and no matter from whom they are due. Other taxpayers are tired of being taxed to support other people’s property |; and to provide jobs for men who won't work. THE HOPE OF OUR FUTURE When one considers the fact that it would be possible to remake the world through the proper education and physical development of a single generation of children, it is something of a mystery why adult citizens do not give more thought and attention to the welfare of minors. The people of Key West, lke those of other municipalities, have made consider- able progress along the line of child wel- fare, but much remains to be attempted. : The prevailing idea in some communi- ties that a modest amount of schooling is sufficient to fulfill the obligations of so- ciety to childhood is gradually becoming obsolete. More and more every. year the grownups are accepting new responsibili- ties in regard to the childhood of their com- Key West has no particular reason to hang its head in shame but neither has it oe eeceeeh Sat ween Se a s Syd fant whom would bind aa jefen Editorial Comment: Next we'll | Tt is hereby “ordered and you, have 500 Cuban teachers as’ Hester G.
