Sts To the outsider, every business is a source of easy and large profits. Most peo- ple. especially those who have no business experience, forget the overhead. The love of liberty is the love of others as well as outselves; the love of power is the love of ourselves alone. Those power- mongers who cling so tenaciously to power, as well as those under their sway, should remember this, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN! Tax-dodgers in the City of Key West gained further respite by action (or was it—lack of action?) taken by the City Council last night at the special meeting, called sider mears to enforce collec- tion of back taxes. At the outset, the situation, in view of that action which saw the question fol- low rather a droll procedure by turning it to co | over to the Taxation and Records-commit: * In fairness to,’ tee, looks quite desperate. the Council, however, The Citizen caught glimpses throughout the discussion of an eerne: majority of the membership, to do some- thing aLcut the age-old question. City government, as it pointed out again forthe umpty-hundredth time, cannot function without taxes paid in to the city treasury. City employes cannot be paid, bills go unpaid, unless the tax bills are collected. it? was Turning the matter over to the desig- nated committee, which, by the way, could have been done, and possibly should have | been done, without need of the special meeting, may very effectively bring a solu- tion of the problem. It is on that premise that The Citizen withholds final opinion on the council’s sincerity in the matter of an honest attempt to collect taxes. If employment of a deputy collector —appoirted to make systematic calls, reg- ularly, on all those who owe taxes, on a commission basis to be paid by the tax col- lector, will turn the trick, we will hold with that procedure and urge its inception im- mcdiately. Thorough investigation of its pcssibilities can ascertain its feasibility. It is noteworthy, in conclusion, to be | able to report in the columns of this news- paper that the subject was treated to such an extent as it was. The very fact alone will serve, The Citizen is quite sure, to warn the city’s tax dodgers that before long a means to end their continued dis- regard of the law will be found. The whole matter recessed. other words—more later! In is | GERMAN ATTITUDE TO U. S. The attitude of the German govern- ment to the activity of the United States in the present war is reviewed by Joseph C. | Harsch, staff correspondent of the Chris- tian Science Monitor. | He reports that there is “relative un- | concern over American shipments of mili- | tary weapons” because of the fact that the | “Neutrality act has operated to avoid the major cause of German-American friction which preceded American intervention in the last war.” He refers to withdrawal of American shipping from belligerent wa- ters, which prevents issues arising from the blockade of Great Britain. The Germans believe that they can win the war before American aid to Great Britain can “exert a significant influence | upon the military situation.” They expect | to have it over with by Christmas and do not believe that aid to England can amount — to much before next Spring. If the war is prolonged and Amer- ican planes play a big part in British op- | erations ‘‘public sentiment in the | could be swung into violent hatred of Am- | erica overnight.” will be advised that the United States is re- sponsible for all of Germany’s woes. GOLD MEANS POWER © The discussion as to the value of the gold hoard that the United States has ac- quired is being renewed in the | print. There are so-called experts who as- sert that if Hitler wins his war, the yellow metal that this country owns will become worthless. They overlook the fact that Germany's economic wizard, Dr. Schachte, admits that Germany adopted the barter system as a temporary expedient because Germany hasn’t enough gold. « ti The experts also overlook the‘experi- ence of the past century ‘which “abtion- strates that the nation possessing the greatest amount of gold inevitably pos- , sesses power in the world. It is a safe as- sumption that the role of gold in the future of the world will be as important as it has | been in the past. While there may be some people in certain nations who contend that gold is worthless, one should not fail to note that every nation continues to acquire as much of the yellow metal as it can obtain. There j must be a reason. desire, at least on the part of a!

Another fact that is prac- tically certain is that it was wrr ten during David's mature later yeats, because his cone tion of God was the product of long years of experience with God. What is your conception of God? Do you think of him as ar austere judge, keeping recerd: your actions, anxious te conde your mistakes? Or, do you think of him as your Heavenly Fat who, while not condoning sins and mistakes, is ever to help you, guide you, and, while necessarily punishing you your wrongdoings, lovingly re stores you unto himself when you repent of your sins and ask his forgiveness? It is upon our individual con- ception of God that this ies hinges. If we think of God @ strict judge, then the thought his presence everywhere. knowing every thought and tion, naturally fills our heart with fear and dread, because no of us are perfect and we times, fall far short of doing what we know to be in accordance with the will of God. The idea of an all-seeing God brings ter- ror to the heart of any person who cherishes some secret sin. your near all things he has » abiding for * and well it may! Does the thought | are ac ways of the psalmist, “Thou quainted with all my bring joy or terror? To the heart of the psalmuist the realization of God's intimate knowledge of him did not fright en him in any way. He realize that God knew him. out, but he was also reassured m inside and 3 the belief that God's was an un- derstanding knowledge, full sympathy for his weaknesses and of praise for his goodnesses, and that he need not attempt to hide anything from him. In this psalm, we are also con- fronted with the omnipresence of God. God is everywhere. Not in the sticks and stubbles, or rocks and images of the heathen, but his spirit hovers over us any and everywhere we may be. He is not confined within the four walis of any temple, or to a sacred moun- tain, or to any one nation. He is present everywhere and is avail- able to every sincere, seeking soul. We cannot hide from his presence at any time, as Adam and Eve discovered, or as Jonah or Judas found out This is at once a terrifying and a comforting thought For those whose lives are lived con- trary to the will and purpose of God, it is not reassuring to know that they cannot successfully run away from him and hide their actions. For those who are try- ing as best they can, weak and ineffective as their efforts are, te obey the commands of God and carry out his will im their lives. the fact that God knows and i always near to help them fills of LEADING HOTEL ee oe — a 2 . a ee a pee ome eee ee ee 0 ee eee oe eee ee ee ee rim ae COCKTAIL LOUNGE a=é COFFEE smoP Summer QUALITY BUILDING MATERIAL Come Here First If You Plan Te
