NOT ALONE A petition signed by a group of Rhode island citizens and submitted to the Presi- dent of the United States, protests against the continued trend toward socialism in > the United States. It touches on the prob- lem of Federal debt with the statement that: “After the costs of this war have } been fully paid, we shall have a net Federal debt of not less than $250 billion, and prob- ably considerably more. Furthermore, we shall have a posiwar budget greatly ex- ceeding any hing we have hitherto known tine. A debt of $250 billion nan average per person of over ora family of five the amount would be Y00. “Let us tike the figure of $1,800 per person and aphly it to the state of Rhode Islan Accoriing to the 1940 census, Rhode Island thn had a poulation of 713,- 346. At $1,806 per person, this state’s share of the Fed@a] debt at the end of the war would be $1,24,000,000 as compared with its own state dit of a little more than * $21 million. “The average T& of interest on the Federal debt at the Psent time is about two percent. On the ‘sis of population, Rhode Island’s share Ofhe interest alone on a Federal debt of $25pillion would be + $25,680,000, a sum which, over $4 million * greater than the princip&of the state's { present debt. In other WO%, the amount ‘ of interest payable in one Sy on Rhode Island’s share of the Feder&@jept at the end of the war would reti&ithe entire state debt and leave over $4jlion dol- in would me $1,800. peace lars besides. unique.” ee Inflation hurts everybody buf many do not believe it. ————— Nobody knows how long it t +5 . manufacture an atomic bomb or er “the United States is still making them Rhode Island’s ‘4.9 js not | THE TIME WILL COME \* It should be pleasing news to every wellwisher of Monroe county to know that last month set a record for the collection of taxes, in comparison with any other Novem- ber, in both the city and the county, but while sensing that pleasure we should not forget that the burden of taxation, federal, state, city and county, is greater now than it has ever been before. a As has happened before, in years to come taxes will not be paid as promptly as they are now because many owners of realty will not be in a position to pay them promptly. From the realty boom crash in 1925 till the beginning of World War II, it was a pressing problem for many people in Monroe county to pay taxes, and many were unable to pay, and a sizable percent- age of them lost their land, despite the great reduction in the payment of delin- quent taxes that resulted from the opera- tion of the Murphy Act. The manager of one of the largest business firms in Key West spoke to The Citizen yesterday about the excessive tax- es the firm has to pay for its holdings in Key West. He discussed that phase of conditions here in connection with the pro- posed purchasing of more land by the firm. He explained that thé firm was not disposed to make further purchases in Key West because of what it considered exces- | sive taxation. While some local people do ‘not give a moment’s thought to taxation when they are negotiating to purchase realestate, yet almost all prospetcive out-of-town buyers make a thorough investigation of the local tax situation before they purchase. The Citizen has been told of some such intended buyers, who gave up the thought of pur- chasing realty here because of the high taxation, and The Citizen has published stories of some former residents who sold their homes and left town because the taxes were considered too high. City and county officials, now that the times are still lush, must keep a watchful eye on exjcidituses:.to keep. them on,a thrifty | basis, fon,.gne,,may,b2 sure, that money jyill not} Inge; to be as plentifial as it is now, W come when taxes will not be paid as read- ily as they:are paid now. Not every smart saying is worth hear- ing. Nearly everybody is anxious for othér people to mind their own business. The mind of~man works slowly at times and not at all much of the time. Some people have a knack for making money and others have a yen for stealing. The greatest danger to world peace is the number of people who expect to have peace without being ready to do anything to get it. WAINWRIGHT ADVISES AMERICANS A thin and tired man stood before Congress recently, @fter teceivin qa tu- multuous weleome Nae "re “from long years in-the pi Jap- anese. Roe oo and General Jopathan Wainwright fre- quently mentioned his comrades “who. suf- fered in battle and in the cruel months of captivity that followed,” because “for a while we were careless of the nation’s safety.” He asked, “In the name of all my comrades who suffered with me,” that “this nation will never again neglect the strength of its defenses,” and added that “the American people must realize fully the nature of the enemy we knew so well. Only on a just consideration of his nature, as it was revealed to us, will we be able to decide such measures as must be taken to insure our future security from his lust for power.” These are the words of a man who took command of a hopeless cause in the Philippines, was compelled to surrender to overwhelming power and, with his men, “to suffer more cruelly later on under the inhuman treatment” received in Japanese prison camps. For many months in prison, he had only the memory of America and the faith that his nation would eventually restore him to freedom and, during those months, he had ample time to carefully weigh the tragie events of the war. It is not too much to expect Ameri- cans to make effective the plea of General Wainwright that the sacrifice of his men, “living on the thoughts and deeds of Amer- ica, can protect this nation from the lack of practical foresight which brought about ; the tragic events.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 28 R. PATTERSON came in early to speak to Anne the morning of the operation. “Before you get too dopey,” he said smiling, “I want to tell you that I'm going to try as I’ve never tried before. Will you tell me that you are not afraid—that you have confidetice in me?” “In you,” she said, “and in'trrat Higher Destiny that watches ‘over us always. I am not afraid, doc- tor, and I trust you perfectly.” “Thank you, my dear. Is there anything you want or need?” “Nothing — except — if John Lowell should come, may I see him for a moment?” “Yes, of course. But I've left orders for the nurse to give you a hypodermic soon. You probably won't know it when you get up- stairs. I'll be going now — God bless you, Anne.” The nurses and stood aside to let the great man pass. “Oh, John,” Anne’s heart was crying. “Why don’t you come? You promised!” The nurse came in and injected the needle into her arm. Soon the objects in the room began to grow dim, to recede and come back again as if they were on swings. There was a stir at the doorway and the nurse said, “Come in, Major Lowell. Just for almost asleep now.” John stood by: the bedside, ing down. at, her., Her, eyes tried to focus on him but he’Was Whirl- ing about so madly she was ndt sure he was really there, She must have dreamed he_ said, “Darling—darling—I’m going to do what you asked—pray for you. It may not go very high—but I’ve got to try—I’ve just got to!” She thought it was such a love- ly dream, to have John standing there saying those tender words, just as if he really did love her and was not going to get his first love back after all. Anne thought she mustn’t cry— she must be brave like Eve had been when Garret died—she must be made strong and courageous and poised through suffering. They all belonged to some sort look- Hich nbedng that'thertime ill], | John was dead —t! She cried out ' 1 internes all a minute, though—I think she's} ; of an organization. Dr. Conover had named it, he was the head of it, she supposed. It was called the “fraternity of suffering.” You belonged to it when someone you loved had died. And now. that in pain. ... The nurse said, “There now, it’$/all over: She’s going to be all right. You people‘had better go andiget some rest It may be sev- eral hours before she comes out from under the anesthetic.” It was as if she were floating in white waves of fog. It lifted her up and rocked her gently to and fro, blotting out feeling. But every once in a while the fog would lift and a searing pain would tear along the flesh of her legs. When she cried out she felt a strong hand close over hers and she clung to it for dear life. She couldn’t quite make out whose hand it was, but she had a feel- ing that if she let go of that hand she would drift out so far into that ocean of fog that she would never come back. NN the morning that Anne came back to full conscious- ness John Lowell stood outside her door in the corridor and talked to Mrs. Winslow, “The doctor says she’s,-out of jdanger now,”:, he, told#:Anne’s mother. “SotInguess shes awot’t ~ Wayne~McDowell aFol:. Ke told me she.wrate-him. about Anne’s. op; eration and he came at once, Bn Annes been srieving over im all, thé ie—she’s never stopped wisee im. So now that she’s to walk again in time, they will more than likely go forward with plans for their wedding. So will you-please tell Anne for me that I won’t come back any more —unless she should send for me. Will you tell her that, Mrs. Winslow?” Jessie Winslow had never felt so unable to meet any situation. “But don’t you think you had bet- ter let Anne tell you her plans— you may be entirely mistaken about her feeling for Wayne!” He shook his head, smiling that bitter, mirthless smile. “I’m not mistaken!” he answered. “You just tell her what I said.” “Well, of course I'll do that.” “Thanks, Mrs. best of luck to all of you!” She watched his tall erect fig- ure disappearing down the cor- ridor. She wanted desperately to | call him back, but how did she know he wasn’t right about Anne and Wayne? It seemed so queer, | though, how Anne had clung to John all the time, seeming to want him near through her most intense suffering. And now had said he wouldn’t come back unless Anne sent for him, There was something strange about it | all. but she felt unequal to un- | raveliing the mystery. Wayne came to see Anne on the third day after she regained consciousness. Hé brought with him his usual breezy air of cheer- fulness and gay chatter. “Look here, little darling, I’ve | ,. come all the way across the con- tinent to see you. Wake up and: talk to me!” “Hello, Wayne. It’s good to see ; you again.” “It’s great te know that Dr. | Patterson was able to patch you up. He’s one swell guy.” “He’s wonderful!” He paused, cleared his throat. “Anne,—I don’t know how to say this. I’ve never been happy {one i moment since you gave me b the ring. Will you matry me &s | j. soon as you're able to be up and about? “Nothing—no one ‘shall stop us this time. I—F think I’ve | grown up, Anne. I know what I want now.” », 13 ¢ She lookedqat him :elosely and knew. that.he,- was wight, He had matured. He was sure and steady now. He was a man. But not hers. All the emotion he had ever been able to arouse in her, all the feel- ing she had thought was love— was gone now, washed away in that consuming passion her heart held for John Lowell. And John was dead! She was sure of it. If he hadn’t been he would have been here beside her as he had promised. Her mind was not clear enough to figure just how he had died—but the utter desolation of her een assured her of the truth of it.
