Indubitably, you are aware they are pereenae non gratae in thie community. Verbum sap. * Yours, : _— ORACLE. SOVIET TELLS WHO WON THE WAR The long@ argument which has in this coun- try a ho won the war in ‘the Pacific, with. the Army, Navy, the Air Force INCOME LOWER, TAXATION HIGHER The Citizen published an article Thursday from The Palmetto News about the tax situation in Florida. The reasoning in the article was sound and cogent and \na- turally evoked these ques- tios: “Will history repeat? Are we headed for city-county bankruptcy?” : ? Conditions: are ‘now ‘sim- ilar to what they were| ing a home on the island, or may | when taxes began to soar at| go into business here. Other vis-! the inception of the realty boom that led to the crash in 1925. With few exceptions, every city and county in the state hiked their taxes in keeping with the artificial increases in the prices of real estate. By the time the bottom fell out of the realty’ -market, cities and counties generally were paying the highest taxes in their history. As a result, all except a few of them defaulted on their bonded indebtedness, as the payment of taxes be- came less and less. One may get a fairly good idea of the Beautification By DURWARD TYUS TEMA RPRRB SAREE NEE DOH EME- The tourist season, will soon be here, Indications are that Key West will play host to a record number of visitors. Among these visitors will be many who, if they are favorably impressed, will consider purchasing or build- itors will return to their vari- ous states and tell their friends of Key West, both the goed and the bad points. More Civic-Mindedness One of the real needs of Key West is more civic pride. The responsibility for the deplorable condition of the streets and side- walks has been tossed to and fro for many months. Individual's Responsibility There is one condition that can- not be blamed on the city com- mission, the mayor, or anyone ex- cept the residents of a commun- ity. That. condition is lack of civic pride. The responsibility for. filth, unkept yards, unsightly va- cant lots, and run down build- | TODAY IN HISTORY | Constitution.

And what | is our economie condition _at present?) How does it compare with the fiv |years of tax collections? What of a concrete nature | have we to look forward to? | Those questions can be. ‘answered easily by every Key Wester who. keeps in |touch with business condi- tions in our community. It is pubeog to try to brush away facts that face us at every ; turn. In and out of public | life, too many of us seemed ‘to be of the opinion that »boom-time. money, would, be BAETAD enough and was! conditions exist. However, the dumping of trash and garbage on private property by unscru- pulous individuals greatly hin- ders the efforts of civic-minded property clean. Only this week a leading citizen protested to the city commission this flagrant vio- lation of the law and decency. A stiff fine or a jail sentence should be given a person or per- jsons caught dumping trash or garbage anywhere except at the proper place of disposal. Citi- zens could help the police by taking the license number of the automobiles of the violators. - Tobacco Road Places We have business men in Key, West who have spent large sums) of money to modernize their} e lush places of business, Their stores} would be a credit to’any city. 'Yet, in the. same block other places look like fugitives from tobacco road. It is true that short- age of building material has hindered the property owners from’. making .many improve- ments.

The Federal Reserve Roard recently made a sur- which showed that only S per cent of American families followed a savings plan; another 25 per cent saved nothing, and about half ef all of the people spend first out and then save what is left. The life insurance com- panies have wedged in, as advisory groups to urge savings. They urge a family budeet and assert through public relations outlets thet they are going to make an attempt “to bring us back to our senses regarding the compulsory need” for con- sidering saving and spend- ing habits.
