Besides, every- nes Ch | body in the audience appar- a ently was keenly interested in the proceedings. Cause of that interest stemmed from the conten- tion among city officials or former officials. That pull- ing power, strange as it may seem, is far greater among Key Westers generally than the “pulling” of their purse strings. A case in point is the re- cent meeting of the local) school board, with its pro- posed topheavy budget for) To Earn More For Overtime the coming fiscal year, | At Time-And-A-Half which meant 380,956.85 in| taxes in excess of what the The Key West Bosisess: Masaxer From ‘The Citizen Suilding Corner Greene and Ann Streets Only Daliy Newspaper in Key West | ®. znd Movroe County ~ Entered at “Key West, Picriéa wecond class matter j Pepe tir - i ADVERTISING BAT Made known on application - SPECIAL NOTICE 4 | i Fleming, Phone 118.

We might not always} agree with what a citizen} has to say in open meeting, | ‘ but like old Voltaire, we will| defend to the death his) right to say it. No harm has ever eome of a citizen speak- ing his mind in open meet-} ing. It is' where citizens take} a lackadaisical attitude in| their hometown affairs that harm results form loose and irregular government. Apparently Key West is in danger of no such harm, if Tuesday evening’s meet- ing is any indication of wide- spréad intérest in the city’s administration. We hope that in the future Key Westers will con- tinue to turn out in large numbers to similar meetings —and we have a hunch that they will. SAYS FARM LAND is TOO HIGH A Tennessee. banker, speaking recently in North Carolina,’said that it is time to discourage the “spiraling of farm land. prices,’ assert- ing that in- a number of states the prices are “now well over their high aver- ages, of 1820.” The banker, C. W. Bailey, said that taking 1921-14 as normal, farm lands, all over the nation; are over 140 and warns that ‘“indebted- ness -incurred “now in the purehase of additional land could become very oppres- sive in future years.” This is a timely warning. It should not be necessary in Monroe County, where many prosperous farmers lost their land after the first World War through the process of buying too much additional high-priced land, - A balanced, life. includes work, recreation, meditation and study. sbueges | derstand that in war some) with keenly interested Key Westers.

WAR HAS ITS ACCIDENTS Anybody above the fifth grade in school ought to un- soldiers are killed accident- ally by their own army and that others give up their lives when munitions and explosives fail to behave as expected. Consequently, there is nothing, remarkable about the admission by Maj. Gen. Alden H. Waitt, chief of the chemical warfare service, that defective mortar shells: caused the death of some American soldiers. It is not even a point made for the Senate War Investigating committee whose members seem tothink they have un- covered a sensation. The committee should concern itself with an _in- quiry into the possibility that defective shells were knowingly passed to the Army by contractors callous to the consequefices while gobbling profits from war orders. If the investigators can get enough facts to tie such a charge upon a war profiteer, then. it would be a senation. | While on the subject we) might as well point out that} in warfare, whether be-; tween planes, warships or} men on the ground, acci-} dents occur and there were, | no doubt, many instances | where our men were killed} by our own weapons. We see no way to avoid this unfor- tunate result .of handling dangerous weapons in bat-! tle. The fact of these killings is by no means the same as the suspicion that some manufacturer was deliber- ately careless in the making of weapons or shells. Repairs on all makes.

It’s a big basket, but war communication demands emptied it and left us way behind in switchboards, buildings, cables and everything telephone service requires. In spite of hampering shortages of raw materials — lead, copper, steel and the like — we're making progress. And we won't let up until there's plenty of service, local and long distance, for town and farm. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEPHONE COMPANY INCORPORATED
