All of us like to claim kindred’ with | the prosperous and those in power. Most of us are too busy making a liv- ing, according to modern standards, to be really able to live. When a fellow gets the idea that the world owes him a living it’s a pretty: good sign that it doesn’t. It is refreshing, occasionally, to dis- . cover, though at rare intervals, that some- body agrees with us. Religion is a great blessing have it, but it can be a nuisance only think you have it. if you if you Men who are hated are hateful; the hatred towards them usually emanates from jealousy and envy. War has a habit of creating. more enmities than it _removes—contemplate the results of the last World War. The millennium will be at hand when sellers exhibit the same courtesy to a pauper that they show to a rich prospect. | Nations, like individuals, cannot es- cape the facts of their existence; they may delay decisions but, sooner or later, fate overtakes them. Man can claim to be superior to the beast only because, among other things, he can see that material strength and self- advantage are not everything. sia will now probably race Soviet Ru y to see who the ng souls, the Russians with the Finns they take over or the Germans with the Poles. is After reading the daily divorce scan+ cals and immediate remarriages, if any of the so-called! heathen are really ‘ than we in these matters, they worse must be better | not always, better at) | A BUILDING BOOM STARTING? A. casual drive around the city these | days is likely to prove illuminating. The | most striking development is that a con- | siderable volume of new construction is | getting under way. Quite aside from the | huge project on the Trumbo section where the navy is building a seaplane base, there is a lot of other work going on. On this street a lot is being cleared; on the next plants and shrubs are being planted by a mar who is improving his lot before building a home; on a third the foundations for a home are being poured; on a fourth the walls of a new dwelling are going up; on a fifth a family is pre- | paring to move out of temporary quarters in a garage into a nice new house. Then pick up the latest edition of The | There you find that a man from | Washington has just bought three old Key | West residences and is starting a substan- | Citizen. | tial job of reconstruction and renovation; | that a woman living in New York has sold | | part of a waterfront lot to a man and woman now residents of Washington; that | | building permits have been issued to sev- eral local residents for new homes; that a contract has been awarded a local builder fora § ,000 home for a new resident; that several lots in the Martello Tower | section have been sold for substantial cash | prices; that a Key West architect is work- ing on plans for three new residences or- dered by newcomers to the community. Add these small developments to an- nouncements that plans and estimates for a water s ystem from the mainland are pr g slowly but surely through the federal lending machinery ‘at Wash- ington; that the Federal Housing Authority | is about to loan the Key West Housing Authority between $700,000 and $800,000 for a low-rental housing project; that | state officials are getting busy on exten- | sion of Overseas Highway improvement plans; that city, county ard civic officials | are steadily moving toward development | of recreational and other facilities. The sum total of all these events is a | new prosperity for Key West. | who neglects to pay his taxes this year will and a good chance to lose his property to | someone who sees the handwriting on the wall of our economic outlook. Key West property is in demand. It is worth keep- ing for use or selling for the use of others. If you want to be on the bandwagon of municipal progress when it goes by— don’t sell Key West short. WHAT'S AT STAKE IN EUROPE? The war in Europe, despite propa- ganda and debate, represents a_ struggle ! between two contending ideals of govern- ment, with Great Britain and France rep- resenting the idea of democratic self-gov- ernment and Germany representing auto- | eratic dictatorship. There is more to the fight than a bat- tle for possessions, although the Allies have much to lose if they are and Germary considerable booty to gain if triumphant. The world today includes a group of | nations, of which Germany is the leader, | ready to use force to gain any desired end. | Japan belongs to the group and is as dan- gerous in the Far East as Germany is in | Europe. Russia shows the same fangs and nobody yet knows whether Mussolini has recanted his worship of military force and his contempt for democratic processes. Nobody knows how or where the en- gagement may spread but there is the possibility that other nations will be volved before the firing ceases. It may please the United States, as a nation. to | pretend that she is not concerned with the | | outcome of the battle but the facts are against the pretense. GOOD TAXES VERSUS BAD TAXES So far as we have been able to dis- tinguish there are two kinds of taxes, good | taxes and bad taxes. Good tax other people and bad taxes are those that make us pay. Likewise, there is wise expenditure of public money and foolish expenditure. Wise expenditure promotes our idea | of a public necessity (and maybe affords an opportunity for a little profit on the | side) and foolish expenditures are those which, so far as we can judge, do not di- rectly put cash, or benefits, in our pockets. If you will thoroughly understand the distinction that we make in regards to taxes and expenditures you will be able to understand a lot of the squawking that Any man, conquered | in- | s are those that levy upon | FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH White and Washington Streets John C.

In his suite on the second floor of the hotel he stripped off his coat, or- dered a glass of milk and re- clined on his bed. While sipping his milk he spoke expansively of his visit to Washington, told how he had discussed the water project with a number of officials of the Re- construction Finance Corpora- tion and the Works Progress Ad- ministration and stated that he had been advised the President would approve of the applica-' tion. “There seems to be no question about the RFC advancing $1,000,- 000 as a loan to your aqueduct commission and the WPA ap- proving a project for $400,000 for labor on that job”, the governor asserted. “When I got there the project seemed to have bogged down. I tried to give it a shot in the arm, and I think I did some good.” At‘ the dinner the governor was presented by President Everett Russell of the Chamber of Commerce. To the 30 city, county, highway and civic of! cials on hand, the governor re- peated some of his earlier state- ments on the water project and promised his co-operation on the highway extension plans. He told several stories, all humorous, concluding with one about Key West having arrived at that stage of its development where it “could eat higher up on the hog”. “You've grown and developed”, the governor declared. “You've come along fast, and are going places. I’ll do all I can to help you on your way.” Councilman Ernest Ramsey al- so spoke briefly, relating what had been told the public and civic officials by Chairman Hale with reference to the highway. After the governor spoke, Presi- dent Russell of the Chamber thanked the state’s chief execu- tive for the visit and his interest in the city and county. | Fleming Street Methodist (Up- ;morning; 11:00 o'clock, and: eve: town) Church, corner of Fleming | ning,. 7:30 o'clock. and: William: streets, exterids a ~ EaSter Servicse mark the cl cordial welcome to ail residents |of a highly’ successful two w and visitors to attend Easter |revival held at Fleming Street Services at the church tomorrow |Church by the pastor, Jim Lilly be ‘VISITING PREACHER AT|EASTER PAGEANT 'FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH| AT STONE CHURCH Rev.
