It has been ~ pointed out repeatedly that! -every dollar sent out of| “town is a complete loss to the town, whereas a per- centage of all money spent with local merchants « re- mains in circulation in Key West. » jAs. The Citizen remarked afew days ago, the sales tax will be paid by the ulti- mate consumer. Residents generally are aware of that fact, and many of them, out of resentment over the imposition of further taxa- tion on them, will purchase “goods out of town to avoid » paying’ the tax. We remind those who think that statement is far- fetched to bear in mind that the people of the United States are tax-weary. Sen- ator Harry Byrd of Virginia, who -has_ been fighting against high taxes for many years, demonstrating that they can be decreased by stopping useless or careless expenditures, has declared, in his latest blast, against the federal government’s tax structure and top-heavy employment of civilians, that if taxes are not reduced the government faces a fi- nancial collapse. He pro- duced statistics to show that the government can release 1,500,000 employes without impairing efficiency in con- ducting governmental af- fairs. Yes, the people of the United States are tax-weary. Murray has 14 applications for the police examination to be given in the near future, seven of whom are veterans. Yet the latter will not receive the five- point credit given veterans tak- ing the Federal and most State civil service examinations. Dis- abled veterans are given 10-point credits by other civil service boards. It was pointed out that the lack of such a ruling in the city’s civil service system might tend to discourage veterans from ap- plying for municipal positions. Murray said it was doubtful that the Civil Service Board would amend its regulations in time to be effective for the po- lice examination since that is to be held before Christmas if pos- sible. Mario Santana and Frank Curry, former policemen, are among the 14 to take the exaini- nation, Arizona boasts the world’s four highest reclamation dams; Boul- der, highest wedge type; Roose- velt, highest masonary type; Coolidge, highest multiple dome type, and Bartlett, highest mul- tiple arch type. tion, they must pay state, county and city taxes, so that when they finish paying they have little left for themselves. What Senator recommends to the federal government, a deep slash in expenditures to reduce taxes, is applicable to every subdivision of government. In Key West, as well as in other cities, the practice has been for the last six years to find more ways to get money without making any attempt to cut down ex- penses. The result has been that the higher the taxes have become, the greater the expenses have grown. It is high time for the The average of their earn-| city, the county and state ings that are taken by the federal government alone is overnments, as well as the ederal government, to give in excess of 20 per cent,{a thought now to the tax- Senator Byrd says.
