IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. Comprehensive City Pian (Zoning). Moi Beach and Bathing Pavilion.

A fine set of men is running for the | governorship of Florida and it will be dif- | ficult to decide whom to choose from | the lot. A chap came into the office this morning with the astounding revelation that America reveled in the enjoyment of three chief pastimes—baseball, passing the buck and shooting the bull. Postmaster-General Farley, candidate for the presidency, says his name will be presented to the Democratic convention regardless of Roosevelt's wishes. Mr. Farley, like Senator Garner, is no spine- “Tf man. A Key West chap w heard the | other day gleefully to say that this year he had to pay only half the income tax he | paid last year. He revelled in his blissful | ignorance until a bystander told him that | he should remember that he only made | half the income of the previous year. With | some folks the tax phobia is so great they would prefer to make $1.000 less rather‘ | than pay the government a dollar more. If James R. H. Cromwell, minister to | Canada, once more makes an ass of him- | self by his garrulity, he will be given the opportunity to run for the New Jersey senate, to which he aspires. For his | speech siding with the Allies he is being condemned both by senators and_repre- | sentatives in Congress, some of whom have called for his resignation. Only Senator Pepper, always on the wrong side of everything, condones Minister Cromwell’s talk out of turn. As this column has predicted before, taxpayers will commence to strike when taxation becomes too heavy a burden to bear. Strikes have begun, two notable ones being those in New York and Louis- iana, widely separated states. Right now | Florida needs a militant organization of taxpayers, imbued with the desire to hold public servants accountable.to the policy | of getting full value received for the tax | dollar spent. The Florida Taxpayers As- sociation is dcing a laudable work, and here in Key West the Citizens & Tax-| payers, Inc., too, is making its | effort felt. “The time has come to drive the money-changers out of governmental temples,” as B. F. Paty, eandidate for gov- ernor, has so aptly expressed the out- raged feeling of the tax-burdened people. | | to | ican way of electing public | county, state and political | jority. | phonograph | and shortlived. ago.

There are also some very weak men among the list of candidates. | The majority of the people of Key West and Monroe County know which is good When the majority is too indolent | and. which is not so good, so it is safe to , assume that if they do their full duty they can pick the better of each pair or group to | run the particular job he is seeking. The Citizen suggests that the candi- dates be given a very careful survey by all voters. Important developments are facing Key West and Monroe County. We | need the best of our ‘crop of available men to look after the best interests of all the people of this area. THE FIRST: PHONOGRAPH In a letter written a few years before his death, Thomas A. Edison said: “I had conceived the idea of recording and _ re- producirg human speech and other sounds on July 18, 1877.” Mr, Edison went on to say that he worked on his first model during the months and that “this first model was en- tirely successful.” this model comprised all the basic prin- ciples of modern: phonographs and talking | machines. Many will remember the early phono- graph records made on wax cylinders. These were greatly inferior to the later dise records, besides being very fragile recording and reproducing the sounds were the same as those employed up to | the present. The world owes much of its enjoy- ment and instruction to the idea born in | Edison’s fertile brain more than 62 years It is gratifying that he was permit- | | ted to enjoy a long life in which to develop and witness the universal employment of this and other epoch-making inventions | which he gave to mankind. WHAT DOES THE WORLD THINK OF THIS? Italian airplanes bombed women and children in Ethiopia, killed women and children in China, Italian and German planes strafed women and children in Spain and now Russian planes have killed women and children in Fin- | land. These brutal examples of indiscrim- inate and unjustified slaughter will prob- ably be witnessed in other sections of, the globe. The so-called civilized world ex- presses its horror but killers less people, protected by their might, do not recoil from verbal expressions. Can the civilized world do anything about such murders? Certainly, if the nations of the earth, that detest the prac- tice, will joi their strength to make it um | profitable to drop death upon women and children behind the battlefields.
