The 1939 legislature decreed that 80 r cent of surplus gas money go to the state road department for state roads in the county that has the surplus. what congtitutes a surplus? Some _ con- tend that no surplus exists until enough money is on hand to pay all outstanding bonds, while others say that a -surplus exists as soon as current maturities met.

The foundations should be made fully aware of the Key West need for an adequate hospitalization program. Congress is considering a national provide hospitals where now there are none.

FEAR OF GOVERNMENT Whatever else may underlie our eco- nomic troubles, it can hardly be denied that ‘fear of government on the part of business men, both large and | been a serious obstacle in the path of all | efforts to restore confidence in the future. | An almost endless parade of legisla- | tion and bureaucratic edicts, continually changing the rules under which business | must operate, can not promote business and industrial expansion, which is so necessary ‘to the creation of permanent jobs for the | | unemployed. Wasteful governmental spending— national, state and local—with its at- tendant excessive tax burden, is likewise one of the most serious deterrents to na- | tional recovery. In a letter to committees of Congress, | the Investment Bankers Association, which is making determined efforts to. promote a | larger flow of idle capital inte business channels, said, in part: “The Federal government should bal- ance the budget. Both taxes. and regula- tions should be made as simple as possible. Regulations should be changed infrequent- expect, that certainty in itself would help restore confidence.” These seem to. be practical, common sense suggestions. By heeding them Con- | gress. might largey allay the fear of gov- community so long.
