THE ORACLE. ~ WAR TALK AS ESCAPISM There has been serious concern ex- pressed by some of the thinking people of the mation over the apparent tendency of Americans generally to conclude that war ix inevitable between the United States and Russia. The careful judgment of most of our highest civilian and military leaders is that war is not inevitable. No one, howev- er, underestimates the possibility of an armed clash between the United States and Soviet Russia. It should not be overlooked that the conelusion reached by many people, that war is inevitable, stems from the unwill- ingness of these individuals to face harder tasks and decisions that are connected with world problems. As an example, it is much easier for the average American to conclude that war is coming than it is jent his thinking into present world . It is much easier to denounce communism than it isto plan a program for the United States which will help rehabi- litate a war-shattered world. -One of the major decisions that the people of this country will make, and one of the hardest problems that confronts them today, is to determine what the at- titude fo this country will be toward world trade, Obviously, a nation that has not yet learned that, under certain conditions, a favorable balance of trade may be disas- trous, it involves something of a mental effort to understand that international commerce is, and must be, barter. " ARE WE GETTING JITTERY? —— oy. re ai TR PROPOSED POORHOUSE PURCHASE Sentiment in Key West is widespread against the Monroe county commissioners’ proposal to buy the old Santaella factory for use as a poorhouse. Let us assume that the owners offered it to the county for the $14,000 that they paid for it, of what use would it be as a poorhouse? The building has three stories. Is it proposed to have the inmates of the pres- ent home, at least one of whom is 80 years of age, climb up stairs to the first and sec- ond floors? But let us say that the inmates will be kept on the first floor—what is to be done with the other two floors? Not a poorhouse in the country has other activities connect- ed with it. A home for old persons is a home for old persons alone. Evidently, it would be a waste of taxpayers’ money to use only one of three floors in taking care of old, needy folks in the county. Or do the commissioners intend to install elevators? But—and this is the but that residents of Key West have built into skyscraper letters—, why should the commissioners pay two and one-half times as much for the building as the present owners paid for it in 19442 Movement of real estate’ in Key West was far more active at that time than what it is now, so why should the price now be higher when the activity in local realty is on the downtrend? That is a question that the county com- missioners should try to answer satisfac- torily. One commissioner has been telling everybody who has protested to him about the county’s proposed buying of the factory for $35,000, when the present own- ers paid only $14,000 for it, that it can not be replaced for $40,000. That commissioner should know that realty values are not based on replace- ment values. A man who buys what is eall- ed improved realty, bases his purchase price on the income that property pro- duces, not on what the replacement would cost. What has been the income on the factory since it was bought three years ago by its present owners? ‘Here is a case in point: Gato’s factory and land cost $176,000. Government appraisers, on an income- producing basis, fixed its value at $82,000. The Gato heirs refused that amount, and instituted proceedings against the govern- ment. Many testified at the jury trial, ex- perts in all phases of realty values, and the jury.awarded the Gato heirs $7,000 more than the price fixed by government appraisers. The replacement value of the building, which cost $150,000,, would have been far jin excess of that amount, because it was constructed when both material and labor were much lower. But the appraisal did not take into consideration that circum- stance, nor is it taken into consideration in any sale of realty. If the commissioners, despite the fact that the factory is not the right type of building for a poorhouse, insist on buying it, let them institute condemnation pro- ceedings, which they have the legal power to do, and leave it to a jury in a court of law to fix the price for building and land. Finally, a Florida law requires that real estate be assessed on a 100 per cent valuation. Monroe county’s assessor and chief assistant know that law and are guided by it. They are expert appraisers, and they have placed the value of the Santaella property at $13,550, as com- pared with the $35,000 the owners are asking the county for it. If the presidential succession bill be- comes law, the “heir apparent” to the presidéncy will be House Speaker Joe Martin. Under present law, the Secretary of State is next in line, as there is no vice president. FOR INDUSTRIAL PEACE No law, in itself, will guarantee indus- trial harmony. But now that we have a la- bor-management relations law that is fair to both sides, fertile soil has been pro- “There is no proof that “saucers” are flying through the air. Just why all this excitement has been created is a question vided for industrial peace. It will flourish, however, only if it is nourished by complete sincerity and good- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN al Be hes Gn By PILES Daytime Summa Selected programs as iisteg | are broi st at the gee Mone You know, you will run = Joey 14, 1937 “all ‘claim the umpire should play first base or maybe do some pitching, and saying whether they are balls or strikes.
