Inquiringly, THE ORACLE. ' — ‘UNARMED POLICEMEN Many America: ans, in vis- fing London, are amazed that policemen do not carry fevolvers but are armed on- fy with clubs. ' | {more they spent. | pointed out, in 10-Year-Ago col- | be, umn, that it was sen rir FAT AND LEAN YEARS So far as the Key West taxpayer .is concerned. the agreement of the city com- missioners to take care of eight of nine indigent cases | in Monroe eounty was. very: much like paying the money | band, Ramon de la Cuesta, ag-} out of your left instead of | your right pocket. Had the county continued to take care of the indigents. | Key West taxpayers would have paid 8@ per cent of th amount involved. Under th present arrangements, they | pay one-fifth more than they | had been paying. Reason for that is, owners of real estate in Key West, pay 80 percent of the taxes! in the eounty. So the switch from county to the city, in caring for the eight indig- ents, did not make much dif- ference, the cash was concerned. But what is of much con-' cern to the people of Key West was the statement, - made at the joint meeting of city and county commis- sioners, that many thousands | of dollars are now paid by} city and county in providing means for a livelihood for, persons who are unable to take care of themselves. As | that is so now, when business | continues to be fairly good, what will be the extent of indigency in Key West | a should “we unfortunately ' have hard times again?

Whether this is correct, or not, however, one must admire the rage of un- ermed oficers who go out to] aprehend a revolver-carry- ing criminal who has already shown a willingness to shoot, He was wounded} A forecast’ of what may | happen if Key West's finan cial structuye was given by!
