Corn continues to be the principal crop, with wheat, hay ‘and éotton as’the three most. important crops. The number of farms according .to the United States Census, municipal in January, 1945, was 6,- 812,350. Thirty-one power plants built under the authority of ‘thé Bureau of Reclamation have installed capacity of 13% billion kilowatt hours of electric energy. These projects serve the multiple purposes of irrigation, flood control, improved naviga- tion, power, domestic and water supplies, “The best known develop- ments are the Boulder Can- “yon project, the Columbia Basin and the Central Val- ley» development. Agricul- tural wealth of “Arizona, Nevada,. Washington, Gali- fornia, and other Western “States-has traveled upwards, beyond imagination. Nearly 5,000,000 persons live .in areas where reclamation System: are operated -and more than 90,000 farms are on the projects. So, in war as well as in peace, America Marches On. ARMS FOR THE MEN OF CHINA The United States, in an effort to arrange. peace in China, agreed, tentatively, to aid the Chinese Commun- ist armies by s@hding them 4&:“minimum” quantity of American arms and then as- sist in the training of the Red | , soldiers. Gen, ‘Marshall, it is said, made the arrangement, con- tingent upon consolidation of the warring § armies, when the Communists com- plained. that their forces lacked the equipment and training necessary for their merger with the National- ‘ists. This is an unusual proce- dure but then strange ways are reported from China. It may be that the plan will work and that eventually the contending forces will merge and there will be} peace in China. One trouble with our} form of government is that a four-flusher, making any wild assertion, can get more | publicity. than a scholar, | telling the truth about al publie issue. Merger of city and coun- ty which The Citizen has advocated for a quarter of a century and is one of its main objectives, only avoid duplication of the work in the offices of city and county-assessor, but that of sall offices, at great saving to the taxpayer, now being threatened with more burdensome taxes than ever » before. Now is the time to give this matter serious con- sideration. would not} IS THIS ESSENTIAL? The City of Key West can have a surplus in the treas- ury, as Monroe county has, '| if it is as careful as the coun- ty is tures. But for some reason, which is difficult to deter- mine, the city, time and again, as at present, is faced E ith a deficit, It seems to have been the practice’ in the ‘city ever since it Was foutided more than a century ago to be able to get along on what- in making expendi- | ever amount of taxes is col- lected. If times are hard-and’ tax returns small, the city borrows and borfows, or is- sues scrip, and if times are good, as they Have been the last five years, and tax Te- turns are high, the money is spent just the same. Never, so far as The Citi- zen ‘ean recall, has the city been able to put aside that well-known “nest egg.’ Daring the war years, the city’s income was the high- est in its history; it came in in “bales,” but what hap- pened? It went out ie “bales.” The ‘greater thi amount, the more ways the councilmen found to spend the mohey. A’ little thing like a thousand dollars was of no consequence in those lush days. He asks fora thousand, give him a thou- sand. Thus far, under the com- mission-manager form of government, the city is just as free in making expendi- tures as it has ‘been at any time. If the commissioners want to, make a name local- ly for themselves, let them grit their teeth and wipe out every unnecessary expendi- ture; let them handle the city’s money With at least as much care as they do their own. A county official, who is an expert in tax matters, in- formed The Citizen that the city, under its present tax roll, can operate effi- ciently and be able also to save a little money. “But,” added the official, “the commissioners must exercise care in the expendi-| ture of every dollar. That is the only way that a-eity, or an individaal, can accumu- late a surplus.” | Will the commissioners exercise ,that care? That is a question for them to answer. And they can answer it affirmatively, if ey only in acquiring or do- ing things that are essential. | Is this. essential? is a j question they should pro- pound to themselves and conscientiously before ‘they spend the city’s money. The truth is a great en- emy to conversation. Have you seen people who render a_ small favor ing a million dollars? 25,000 POTENTIAL *‘‘BRASS-HATS’ The Army wants Con- gress to authorize it to add 25,000 additional Regular Army officers and a Senate Military sub-committee has approved the proposal, after hearing General Eisenhow- er explain that the officers “will be needed for the next 25 or 30 years, or until the UNO becomes a definitely effective force.” ‘Some people may not un- derstand why the War De- partment wants 127,500 of- | ficers for its force of 942,500 enlisted men. They will look | at the increased authoriza-| tion as ‘a plan to increase the number of potential “brass hats” because they |; lio not realize that the fu- ture safety of the nation may depend upon the exist- corps. |Senator Hart, of Connecti- cut, formerly an admiral, fieer personnel, ) eould, in the event of war, train an army in two or out trained officers, the job could not be done in a gen-} eration. they spend the city’s mon- | ence of ‘a cémpetent, train- | ed ahd experienced officer} The point was made by | that with an adequate of-| the nation | three years but that, with-| Clyde-Mallory liner arrived in ee last night with a large ‘coh-. ; West.
