POLITICS FOLLOWS TRAIL BLAZERS Centralized government in various | forms is steadily expanding. It in proposals for state medic ine. i sory arbitration of labor disputes, ramifications of price regulation, in the in- sidious drive for public ownership of basic industries. Our form of government is lit- erally changing before our very eyes. The headlines are filled with pronouncements of public officials affecting the lives of mil- lions. Electric power is but a pin point in a mighty trend in which authority-hungr politicians seize upon the accomplishments | of individuals and make them appear as | gifts from government. An illustration of this trend can be seen in Seattle, Washi Si years ago the Seattle Elect Lighting Company, a private concern, was | formed and applied for a franchise. The City Council deliberated for a month before granting the franchise, under which the venturesome souls forming the company were permitted “to erect poles and stretch wires for electrical purposes.” Seattle’s | population was 9,786. Today Seattle population is over a half million. The de- scendant of the original electric company is the Puget Sound Power and Light Com- pany. Now public agencies, using ruth- less tactics like the defunct a or tions, are striving to take away the ness of this heavily-taxed stringently ulated enterprise built by private citizens during a si year period. In electric power. n countless other fields of activity over h are squabbling in the name of the 1 welfare, there would be no achievements to bicker over had not a path of plishment first been blazed.

At that time the counsellor of our em- y in Japan, Eugene H. Dooman, told } the Japanese assistant minister for ofreign affairs that an attack on Singapore would | “inevitably raise the question of war with the United State: Mr. Grew that this was doctrine to spread among the Janpaese™ because it tended to convince them that the people of this country were not com- pletely isolationist and pacifistic as many Japanese had been led to believe. Joseph C. in pre-war year isolationists es ba said “good | etboc | you will be in a position to buy anything } has come, } enemy WHILE MONEY IS “CHEAP” “If you have the money, anything you want,” has been said often, but the people of Key West know that was not true during the war, now. » Key West housewife will tell you that e are many kinds of foodstuffs she Id like to get, and, though she has the | to - for them, she can not get ndreds of owners of automo- oney pa , and tell you that, with their tires worn | fabric, but to the tires, they have the money to buy are unable to find any The announcement that tires will be f the ration list January 1 is view- ght consequence by car owner Key West. “What of it? New tires are not avail- able now, and, should the same condition be in effect when they are no longer re tioned, what difference will it make? We’ve got the money but can’t buy tires.” But conditions will not always Money is plentiful and “cheap” but the time will come when many a pock- x will be skeletonized, and tires and tuffs will be plentiful, but money will So with money “cheap” to have a fairly new taken of ed aso now, now, if you | want zable roll of it when you want within your particular sphere, you will be wise to hold tightly to it now when it is of no use in buying certain things. | The change will come, as it always and wise is the man who holds | much of his money as he can while | . for, as sure as night follows day, | time will come again when money | Many go through life svmpathizing— with themselves—all the time. | We often complimenting hear the expression while a friend, “He hasn't an in the world,” but Tennyson re- minds us that “He makes no friends who never made a foe.” “SHOP EARLY” IS SOUND- ADVICE Not many years ago the “shop early” ran began to appear about this time in ffort to persuade people to make their Christmas purchases early, in order to avoid last minute rush which was in- convenient to shoppers and sales people. This vear we advise the people of Mon- roe County to do their Christmas shopping early, not so much to avoid inconveniencing les people, but because of the shortage of | available goods. In fact, those who ex- pect to choose their Christmas gifts with | discretion will have to act fast or they will not only lose the right of choice but prob- »ly the opportunity to purchase as well. you can get | and is not true } be the | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 5 [Sunday 1:50 a.m. to 3:4¢ am] ipo a long time everything she/ Jooked upon | the far end of a lig! | must be shock. | ; ously, underneath the dazed state Was a sense of being free, a light- ening of the ten: she bed been under.
