He explained that, the year, only 54. per cent of Key West property owners paid their taxes, and what was not paid by the delin- eee bere, quents ‘had’ to “be » raised ‘among the taxpayers who ‘met their obligations. that it was most unfair to follow that procedure in the | collection of taxes, but he propounded a question that answered itself; have money to function?” re 5 cents a line | ing the fact that he was helping to pay the taxes that others, who apparently did na se ent te not care whether or not the city functioned, should have | paid, said that, as he was faced with that condition, he would sell his property.

LET THE COURT WORRY; It is quite natural for the country to worry over an open dispute between mem-| bers of the Supreme Court. Don't be shocked to learn that those men who sit) in the highest, tribunal of ‘the! National Government’ get mad and quarrel, and raise} the deuce just like the rest! ef us. Maybe it will do them good to let off the gas from their stomachs and heads. Not many people ever did think that Black ‘Should ave been forced on the Court by President Roose- velt. Let us hope that it is hot an act of contempt of court to observe that most people still think that way. On the contrary, Justice Jackson is a very able man! and the right kind of person | to serve on the bench.
