That's short of expectancy but long of expectation. There are’ people in the neighbor- hood who will do anything they can for you—if it doesn’t cost them money. Florida ¢an decide to pick the next President later; right now it is getting ready to,pick its fine crop of citrus fruits. Vice Président Garner makes wagers on hoW long Congress will sit, but in- variably;ldsés. Now if he were a dictator he cdtld’t lose. The American Federation of Labor has made many mistakes but none so stupid as the strike against the government... It should have known better. “Thére ought fo be a law,” writes a woman to a Philadelphia: paper; “govern- ing thé-votabulaties of satésladiés, foreing’ them to réalize that pet names. prevent ‘Dearie? and rtost' of us losé intérést im att attractive garment and wi || cabs should’ be compélled' to. ca +: public sidewalks should be kept clear: of at otié “Danling’ we’ KEY WEST TAXI CHARGES A prominent federal official). arr in’Key Wést-the other day.

One of thébest ways to® defeat that end is to get the name in other | parts°of the* country of being’a colleetion | of gougers and gyp artists. LI can’ travel half way across’the city of Washitigton | for 60’ cents. There is no excuse’ for’ a charge’ of 60 cents to travel two blocks in Key West. I know I won’t forget it, and you can bet your bottom dollar other out- siders similarly clipped will not forget. | That is poor publicity, and the very taxi- | cab driver who rimmed me. will suffer | along with all the rest of them when such | stories gain wide circulation and reduce | the tourist travel to Key West.” Se Seat The Citizen has asked several” rep- utable taxicab drivers whether this: prac- tice is general here, and they state that it} positively is. They allege the visitor ar- riving by bus is fairly run over by a swarm | of taxicab drivers’ when he alights on the |, sidewalk, They fight for the visitor’s bag- | gage ard then charge whatever they think 1 the*passenger can afford to pay. _ | There is a city ordinance providing that fares shall range from 25 to 40 cents | depending on the size of the car used by: | the’ taxicab operator to any part of the city. This ordinance does not:seem to be enforced. Whether this is the fault of the police department is beside the point; Taxi+ signs’ clearly indicating. the lega} rates and all complaints that excessive fares: are being | charged shouldbe investigated and thé licenses of the offenders revoked: Also, taxicab drivers. Drivers should. be cortit | pelled to remain in their cabs. A Key: West can ill’ afford to get-a bad» name in the resort world. This city Was lost about every worthwhile industry it | ever had for various reasons; some of them because the people of this' city do'not’ appreciate the importance of industriés. | Key West should: become known far and wide asa fair city, a city where fair prices only aré charged for transportation, for‘ | food; for lodging and for other services de-| manded by tourists. : | e ; MARS VISITS THE WORED | } ———— Frage | The planet Mars paid the world a | about 36,000,000 miles away.
