The military critic says that “to shorten this war by a single day may mean the sav- | ing of hundreds, or even thousands, of American lives. This is a form of half-baked reasoning, which & apt to mislead American parents. tt is by7no means certain that the war will be shortened by a premature attack upon Burope, before adequate and necessary preparations can be completed. Toattack and suffer serious defeat, throug a failure to accumulate sufficient force, @ould lengthen the’ war considerably. | impetuous haste in attack may easily cost “hundreds or even thousands of American lives.” After all, wouldn't it be a good idea to permit our military leaders to decide when and where we should attack? FURORE Key West has picked up a considerable furere over that Electric Plant purchase. Kep. Papy failed to pass an amendment io the City Charter which would have author- ited the sale of the revenue certificates needed to finance the Nuveen sponsored deal. Se the city passed an ordinance’ The Cirevit Court validated the certificates. The Supreme Court reversed the ruling because the deal contemplated purchase of stock in the company, rather than the physical as sets, and a carpetbag era provision in the constiivtion, aimed to cure some very flaz- rant sneculations in state guaranteed rai!- read and bank stocks, prohibits the state or any subdivision buying stock in a pri- vate company.

The 1939 charter, as it came out of Tallaha was not the instrument that the City of Key West proffered to be enacted into law. see, If you agree to buy an automobile, the law will uphold you, even though you are t it, if it has only three wheels when the dea!- er atten: pts to make delivery to you. In that condition, the car is not an entity, ard in the condition that the 1939 charter came out of the engrossing room, it was not an en- tity. If the city is compelled to operate un- der it, then the city will carry on ir a three- wheeled automobile. Now, the legal of the matter would be entirely different had the missing provisions been stricken from the 1939 charter either in the house or in the senate. Had that been the case, the charter, in its curtailed form, would have been valid. But the provisions disappeared after they had been adopted by the legislature, and they separately, but as a whole. Wh entity was de- phase were aaopted, not tegral parts of the charte they were destroyed, the stroyed. That is the common law reasoning, and common law is sense. E law, with its multifarious checks and coun- ter-checks, is so complex that, when a ques- tion arises in many instances, a lawyer, how- ever good he may be, has to consult his text books. and even in them, decisions some- n enacted common times are found that are not in accord with each other, and the reason for that is that one judge's logic is bas misg and another judge’s an altogether different premise. And courts, even the United States supreme court, not infrequently reverse themselves. Legislative intent is the governing factor in any law. and the legislative intent was grossly violated in the proposed 1939 charter. Finally, had the charter been passed, with all the lost provisi don a certain pre- is derived from ms in it, and duly | signed by the governor, it still would have been invalid until it was approved at the polls of a referendum, for which provision was made when the charter house and senate. And the referendum was one of the clauses that were “lost.” What would President what would our Governor say, about an act passed by the congress or the legis that came to him in an emaciated form The 1939 charter is not that passed the house and the senate—it is only part of the measure.
