TAXES—TAXES—TAXES Someday somebody is going to come along with an idea about - taxes West that is going to make it unnecessary in Key. to have anything more to say about de-! linquents and allied subjects. Someday— Oh when will it be?—a solution is going to be found to the number one problem of municipal government in this city. Until that happy day, however, The Citizen will continue to find it necessary to bring the subject up if for no other rea- son than to remind residents of this city that the problem’ is still with us and need- ful of thoughtful consideration by ail hands. Much has been said recently on the necessity to make more of a collection ef- fort for city taxes. Subject came up at the council meeting last week in fact, while others chose te think that the men- tion of tax collections was to be taken as disparagement of the present administra- tion of collections, The Citizen believes that there was everything corstructive in the suggestion. It’s not the first time when it has been stated in Key West, but when one council- | man arose to remark that “taxes are the lifeblood of the municipal government” he | reiterated a truth that no one can argue about. Trouble is—everybody knows it, but, or the whole, very little has been or is being done about it. The Citizen has been of the opinion for some time that a New Deal in tax matters will probably have to be created | before any successful effort can be made | to bring tax matters to a successful conclu- By this is meant a special study of | taxes with a view to reassessment of the ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN er and Sewerage. t and Apartments. d Bathing Pavilion. —Land and Sea. lation of County and City Gov- dern City Hospital.

Reassess- ment of all of the city would bring a situa- tion where no comebacks like these could be uttered. In the meantime and until such a move can be instituted, The Citizen holds with the thought that more of a collection There is no doubt that many who owe taxes would be amenable to direct contact, especially if they cculd be made to understand just what the present administration is trying to do. NO SHORTAGE OF LABOR The American Federation of Labor, now boasting the greatest number of mem- bers in its history, is in favor of all aid to | Great Britain “short of war,” according to 10-cent loaf of bread, a| ets about two cents worth of | —the remaining 8 cents go for pro-/| ansportation, and the 52 hidden wheat ducti than one-third of the milk ae s country is sold as fluid milk irinking and cooking.

The Democratic. Convention of 1896, year William Jennings Bryan made his s cross of gold speech, introduced a he third term, which read: “We be the unwritten law of this established by custom and usage )0 years and sanctified by the examples greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our Govern- ; ment, that no man should be eligible for a ird term of the Fresidential office.”” The wisdom of the party on this question has bcen maintained for all these years, but it finally gave way to the inordinate desire fo: r of one man. And how adroitly h nemed to keep himself in office. Not what fools we mortals be, but what saps we Americans are! i President William Green, who says that his organization is behind the present preparedness drive. Mr. Green makes the point that the present “work standard” should not be | lowered until the unemployed are ab- sorbed. He believes that it is unnecessary to expand working hours when there are millions of unemployed in the nation. He does nct think that the preparedness pro- gram will be slowed up’ by a lack of | labor. This observation ought to make sense, even to an industrialist, anxious to sab- etage the gains made by labor during re- cent years. While there may be shortages in certain types of expert workmen, there is no present necessity for longer hours. The unemployed can furnish the additional hours of labor which any present program requires. NO WORRY ABOUT WORRY! James Truslow Adams, American his- torian, believes that man today worries more than his ancestors and the ancients. He thinks that we are softer, no longer accepting suffering as the order of nature. In a recent issue of The Rotarian, he ex- presses the view that this is due to the non- and, | hi ~ | Mrs 5 —The stork made two quick trips © the St Jame: hospital maternsty ward.

LL Todav’s Horoseone Today's character is steadfast and rather independent, and if ‘this latter trait is not accentuat- ed too freely, there are indica- tions promising-a rather quiet but successful life after some storms of fate or illnes have pass- ed over. Good luck is promised in marriage. The nature is warm- hearted, but too sensitive. Care? The club members were dis- cussing laziness. One finally told use of n¢ -vous centers controlling physical — emotions and the cver-use of intellectual nerve centers. Mr. Adams find that people today are somewhat afraid because they are less self-reliant and blames newspapers and radios for playing up the “horror” angle. Anyway, even according to the his- torian, there is no use to worry about worry, because man makes progress just the same. « lot of bruises. vey vacon SCHOOL OPENS The Ley Memorial Vacation School opened this morning with an enrollment of sixty-nine boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 16.
