IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Consolidation of County and City Gov- ernments. A Modern City Hospital. DIFFICULT TO SAY You too have no doubt understood PARE DOWN TO THE BONE Let’s not pre-judge the Florida legisla- tors. Just: before they left for home for the | Easter holidays, Governor Holland told | them that one of two things must be done! on their return, so that the state’s budget | may be balanced: either expenses must be cut down or new tax laws must be enacted, | Offhand, it is easy:to point out where the state is spending | needlessly tens of thousands of dollars. Time and again, de- mands have gone up from all over the state that the barbers’ board, the laundry board, the dry-cleaning board and other unneces- | sary agencies be abolished. Their creation was not warranted, and charges have been made'that they came in- to being for the sole purpose of providing soft jobs for the “faithful’’. At one time the | barbers’ board was “loaded to the gills” | with employes who went on jaunts through- ; out the state presumably to make inspec- tions, and the dry-cleaning board has been | the source of many jokes about political job- providing sinecures. e “Cut down expenses or increase tax- ation.” In these times of stress, it should be an easy matter for the legislators to deter- mine what course to pursue. The people of | the state will not complain over paying high- er taxes if the legislature sincerely demon- | strates its determination to eliminate all unnecessary expenses in conducting the af- fairs of the state. | With the state gowernment cluttered | up with “boards”, whose existence is un- | necessary other than for purely political | reasons, it is an exceedingly easy matter | for the legislators to wipe off the state’s | payroll hundreds of thousands of misspent | dollars. | To accomplish that aim it will not be required to do anything that will impair the machinery of the state government. In the last 20 years, operational expenses in | Florida have mounted higher and higher, | sometimes with increases of more than $15,- | 000,000 annually, as compared with pre- strates its detremination to eliminate all of the increases has been the creation of unessential bureaus. Today, proportion- ately speaking, bureaucracy is as flagrant in | Florida as it is in the national government. | Pare down to the bone, gentlemen, and the taxes you will have to impose to balance | the budget will not dig into the pockets of | the people deep enough to cause much com- plaint. t THE KEY W. ‘KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN APRIL 26. 1933 Another attempt was made to- day to construct a lighthouse at Smith’s Shoals. This is the third on the other two occasions work had to be abandoned because of adverse weather conditions. The case against James Roberts, colored, charged with murdering his father, probably will go to the jury late this afternoon. W. S. Schoneck, lighthouse en- gineer, received a telegram today from his sister in New York City, advising him that their father is dangerously ill there with lobar pneumonia. A May Day dance will be held Monday night at the Miramar Clubhouse on the Boulevard.

If dreams could bring to me lish. Consequently, it is the most difficult to teach. The various spelling of words pro- nounced the same stumps a stranger of the tongue. Of course we do the best we can to simplify it by offering slang as an outlet to confusion and to make up for effort ex- pended in learning vowels and consonants! Our soldiers in foreign countries could not have more difficulty in understanding than in being understood. There are always cer- tain expressions that one picks up easily in any foreign language which can be used to convey all sorts of meanings. We are reminded of the timey as a child, listening intently to a group of for- eigners mumbling unintelligent/sounds as they were busily digging a ditch for a wa- ter main. Almost every sentence would con- tain “I betcha’ whatever else the jargon proclaimed. Every man used it and often. No schoolroom could impress on that child- ish mind the force of English at that time as did the ditch diggers and their “I betcha ” We believe that the American soldiers will just as ably get across what they want to convey and they probably will inter- sperse their “I betchas” with sign language, | to boot! They'll get by, and get it acros: those lads of ours. | | ARTILLERY IN TUNISIA Joseph G. Harrison, a correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor,. writing from North Africa, reports that “the Ger- man soldier in Africa apparently has as | great respect for British artillery as the Al- lies did for German dive-bombers in France. They speak with awe of the terrible bar- rages laid down by the great number of | medium-weight cannon now available to Gen. Montgomery.” The correspondent adds that “those of us who have watched the intensity cf such barrages can understand its effect up- on enemy morale, particularly since it is im- possible for Marshal Rommel even to think of matching it.” Despite present rationing the people of the United States remain the best-fed in the | routes, which will be vital in the shortened | Why go to the doctor if you are not go- ing to take the doctor’s advice? Those friendly divorces in Hollywoood marry each other again. What has become of the old-fashioned citizen who was convinced that the present generation of Americans were hopeless? Japan will soon have reason to regret | the diabolical act in executing the American | flyers who were made prisoners after a | forced landing, but our reprisals should not | goto the uncivilized extreme in taking no | prisoners, 4 AIR ROUTE PROBLEMS Without fanfare, aviation is command- ing a top place in many international con- sultations among the United Nations. Rus- sia is taking no part in these consultations, | and there is some concern about Russia’s in- tentions. Situated astride of the Polar air | lines of the future, Russia will exert a heavy influence. A dozen or more major American air | lines have joined Pan American in flying foreign routes. They send their planes to all continents under Army-Navy contracts | which give them no pioneering _ rights. | Whether they can continue to use these | routes after the war is the question. | American opinion on- what to do | hasn’t jelled!
