When‘are you going to fall in line with the fed- eral government and hun- dreds of cities throughout the country that are cut- ting down on expendi- tures? ‘ Yours truly, THE ORACLE.. tte INFORMERS ARE PAI The Treasury of the Unit- ed States collected a little more than $1,000,000 last. yéat as a result of informa- tion passed on_ by individ- uals who body else for not paying proper income taxes to the government. In return for the infor- mation that they gave, the tipsters received about $55,- 000. In the last decade, the overnment has distributed more than $600,000 to tip- sters for information leading to tax ‘collections which amounted to more than $21,000,000. The figures indicate that the informers got about three per cent of the total smount collected by the Government. It seems that the Government is much move liberal with those who give information in regard to the importation of goods, from foreign cuntries . with- out the payment of duties. If our information § is cor- rect, the tipster, in customs cases, receives an amount equal’ to the duties which the Government collects. The Treasury Department reports that very few in- formers collect fees for in- tormation about income taxes more than once. Most of them are former em- ploves, who turn in ‘ex- bosses, and the next most nymerous class of informers are persons who turn in’ members of their own fam- ities because of jealousy, hatred or spite. Tt is useless to look at your Speedometer after the aceident. AIRE Oo It’s about time for smart children to be telling their parents what they should tell Santa Claus. Friendships are more firmly secured by lenity to- wards failings than by at- tachment to excellencies. The» child learning to} walk is its first stage of physical independence and! wives a delightful facial ex- presion in this mew exper dence: | long, 4. Cohsolidation of County and |) walking in a circle. street lights for targets. In the Casa diarina sec- tion complaints have been made repeatedly by resi- dents about boys who make it a practice to strip coconut trees of their fruit. In that same section, stories have been told about boys who enter yards to pull fruit off trees, some if the fruit is va!l- ueless Wheh pulled: because, of its immature state. It is high time ‘that the city authorities began action to stop these depradations. Under our councilmanic system, if ‘delinquencies of | this nature, and, before you found yourself The Citizen, in its advo- cacy of the commission- manager form of govern- ment, remarked a form of yovernment adopt- ed, a resident ‘would have but one person to whom to complain, the citiy man- ager. So the stopping of the reported some- crowds of boys who shoot song birds, shot out street lights, steal fruit and create general nuisances at night is up to the city manager. He has a police force, and he should instruct its mem- bers to apprehend every boy seen in possession of a rifle; apprehend every boy who violates the curfew law. Par- ents ef such boys should be} warned that they will be held resonsible for the boys’ violation of the law. Time for action to curb juvenile delinquency in Key West has come; the direc- ‘tion of that action is up to the city manager. History shows that the vices of the prosperous classes cause the downfall of nations; the poor cannot afford to have expensive vices. Production has so speed- ed up these days that the lumber people can down a tree, shove it into one end of a mill and five minutes later there is a neighbor at the other end to borrow the paper. FREE PRESS, REPORTS Not long ago, a dispatch from Lima, Peru, reported that the Soviet Government was making an effort to ob- tain fishing rights in the Galapagos islands, which} are considered of great im-} portance in connection vi, the defense of the Western}, approach to the oe Canal. Less than a week after the newspaper dispatch was printed in this country, the Ecuadorean Embassy in} _ Washington armounced that the report was “entirely un- founded” and that no Sov- iet agents had approached Ecuador on the subject. Moreover, the Ecuadorean government gave assurances that it would always look} after the security of its is-| land possessions and that it: will keep in mind “above all} the general security of the} Americas.” It is extremely difficult, for the layman to under-} stand how such reports are put into circulation, but it is| not hard to see how they} might produce ill-feeling be-} tween nations. Assuming} that the statement of the} government of Ecuador is correct, the incident illus- trates the extreme freedom of the press Without reflect- ing ‘credit whon its respoRr- aibility. good|Mrs. McDermott, Chief Operator many times that, were that SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE /'s7 Pontiac, 8 cylinders, business {2 ahd 3 bedroom homes.
