At the inauguration of Emil Schram (pronounced like Tom) as president of the New York Stock Exchange there were sal- vos of cheering when he expressed the be- lief that a period of cordial relations was | opening between Wall Street and Washing- ton. Already the response in the market ‘has been favorable, Texas got rid of its freak governor by sending him to Congress. The addition of one more of his ilk to‘ our national legis- lative body won’t hurt—much. Elections | with results like that in this case make one wonder whether selection of senators ‘by state legislators is not wiser than their elec- | tion by direct vote of the people: 2 08 Napoleon's fate after his failure in Russia was exile at St. Helena; the German kaiser’s fate was Doorn; Hitler’s fate is in the-lap of the gods. Russia has never been | conquered, though devastated, and she be- lieved in a Supreme Being until Lenin and Stalin came along, with their theory that | religion was the opiate of the people. Will godless Russia be successful in thwarting | the threat of an ungodly invader? In line for a better understanding be- | tween Cuba and North America, and de- signed especially for North American teachers and students, the University of | =~ Havana is offering a Summer school sec- | tion from July 21.to August 30. Registra- tion was held on July 17, 18 and 19. There also will be extra-curticular lectures by Cuban and Latin-American scholars. cluded in the curriculuni are Spanish lan- guage courses, as well as classes dealing with the cultural, social, political and eco- nomic problems of Latin-America. That is a commendable step toward better - rela- tions with the countries south of us, and augments the good neighbor policy that the | United States wishes to establish for the good of all in the Western Hemisphere. In that respect Cuba is doing her part splen- didiy, and the above is another concrete in- | Dade records. was the f | than $5,000 this year, fi most that many hor In- | sessments, explaining his reason for wpnt- ing them published with the story: “You remember Johnny who got an ostrich egg and pushed it into his bantams’ pen with a.sign—‘just look at this and do your best.” ota ee On the theory that residents of other sections of the state might profit from the i | example of Miami and Dade county, Free- man reveals that Dade this year will have will have a half-billion-dollar real estate roll this year, in contrast to $110,000,000 a year ago.

Coral Gables found some 600 homes in the same class. Ain even distribution of taxes, both for + this county and the others of the state, will show the wisdom of Governor Holland's new tax system, 2,046 homes on the bi “BUSINESS AS USUAL” Here’s an interesting item concerning “business as usual”: Before the outbreak of the war in Europe the United States government paid subsidies to steamship lines in order to en- able them to compete with foreign ships. Now that practically all foreign com- petition has been removed, the Maritime commission suggests that the subsidies be revised downward to meet present condi- tions. i Some of the shipping companies have agreed readily but others insist that their subsidies should not be reduced. : GOVERNOR HOLLAND'S STAND (Tampa Daily Times) Governor Holland’s statement in answer to Miami appeals for a State investigation of “under- world conditions” there should also furnish a guide enforcement officers cannot or will not cope with an unwholesome ‘situation. He said he will use the power of the Gover- nor’s office to help “any community throw off any threat. of underworld rule if there is such a threat, if the people affected want.to be helped, and if they are willing to help themselves to the limit of their.own local resources and authorities.” His “ifs” are reasonable. He wants to be sure that protests of underworld rule do not come mere- ly from political machinists who are out and want } to get in, bringing their own underworld connec- tions with them, and he apparently doesn’t think -it is a sound principle of democracy for citizens to have all their civic problems solved by somebody else. While none of these may apply in the Miami case, the Governor may want to see whether the litical corruption are just part of an annual Sum- mer “crime-must-go” farce which will be forgotten and even laughed about when the rich racketeers arrive next Winter, or whether it is a genuine civic revulsion which will stick until Miami is clean again. The Miami Herald says it will stick and | grow, and we earnestly hope it is right, because | the whole State is exposed to infection when cor- ruption runs unchecked anywhere and the whole.| civic structure of the State is strengthened, when an aroused citizenry cleans up its public af- | fairs. | While Governor Holland says Attorney Gen- eral Watson has informed him that he does not | have the power to assign a special prosecutor with | the assurance of a “blue ribbon” grand jury to carry | there are nevertheless many ways in which he can | help a community throw off official corruption and | keep it off. And it is important to the welfare of | the whole State that he use these means when | necessary, | more assessed value on the tax rolls than | | the entire state had a year ago. t Tentative figures reveal the big county turned over to the county commission, tax- | ‘| payers here probably will discover as Dade | ON “HOME-RULE” CORRUPTION | to other communities where citizens feel that law | current complaints of underworld control and po- | i | | | | | i | | | | | | | i | t | i on investigations, as suggested by the Herald, | |to replace the dial of the auto- | | butcher |taken the name of Elias jbad planetary aspects ARE WINNI THEY ARE toma BEING BUILT IN THAN y = SIDELIGHTS “ PARAGRAPHS HOW AMERICAN SHIPYARDS NG THE RACE AGAINST TIME BUILD OUR NAVY American Place Names By MARCY B.
