' Plorida can take little pride in the umber of people killed on its highways; the-conclusion is inescapable that some of y deaths can be prevented. President Roosevelt says it is lend- lease, while Winston Churchill says it is ldase-lend, What's the difference, in either case we kiss the simoleons goodbye. 3 : When this is printed the $3,672,000,- 400 tax measure will have become law. Senator Capper, of Kansas, a conservative / solon, warns that this vast sun ig only a starter, that next year’s tax bill will be even stiffer. So we might as well in front of the Jefferson hotel. They, or there for several nights and they were sur- prised when an officer stopped them. made the ar storenneteee eS asked the constable who o prams ‘A great many people here, as in other #0: cities, are opposed to gambling, drinking, } | prostitution, easy divorce, and the lax moral code in general, if you would call it that. They would like to change laws and en- force existing laws to curb what they re- gard as unmixed evils. Another group of ‘people, and the re- sults would indicate they are in the ma- jority, believe that those are not unmixed, but necessary evils. They feel Florida has prospered by the influx of tourists seeking to avoid a more highly moral code, and would lose if Florida officers took a less Vlénieht Giew of the laws. ; So, although some Miamians hav ooked dowd theiMAoses at Key West's als, most of the resorts of south Florida ain pretty much the same boat, and it fould be fairly safe to say that Miami is the worst-troubled of all. All of fhem have made a marriage of convenience with law violators—in many cases outright gangsters —and the results sometimes are none too pretty. Granting that much, you can compare the case of a city to that of an individual bar in a city. A bar where the patrons were required to speak in whispers would do little busi- ness. Perhaps the proprietor would add 2 little noise and gaiety, loosen the reins « little, and his business would pick up. A little later; he might reach a point where his bar was getting slightly rough, and people who'lived in neighborhoods of quiet bars would come to see it. . That is about the point the south Flor- ida resorts have been inclined to reach. But suppose at that point he took the reins off altogether and let go all control. Deceat people then would be afraid to go into his place of business at all, and it would become far worse both from an economic and moral standpoint that when the cus- tomers whispered. This is not intended to be a discussion of morals. It is a discussion of economics, and every Key Wester of whatever morals designation will do this city no good, and a | great deal of harm. Florida cities have decided they will have plenty of liquor establishments—but we don’t need nine in two blocks, as we have in one section of Key West. Florida officers are not attempting to close houses of prosti- tution—but we don’t need prostitutes carry- ing on their trade at south beach and on the “puythouse lawn. | An \“open*town”™ easily can be ‘too * dpen, and it 8 abéut’fime the pébple of | classes and types iwKey West let it} | known that there is @ limit. ‘a { | HOW ABOUT YOUR TOWN? | The best defense against fire is a | modern fire prevention ordinance—backed | up by an informed public opinion which | That is true of a tittle town no less than a great city. | The lack of such ordinances is directly | responsible for a large proportion of this | country’s criminally high fire waste.

Tn these days, when the needs of na- tional defense demand gigantic quantities of supplies of all kinds, fire plays directly into the hands of the country’s enemies. Fire is the most deadly of all saboveurs—fire | does more harm than a ‘thousand fifth }eolumnists. Fire steals our resources. Fire | steals men’s energies and labor.
