MULTIPLE RADIO BROADCASTS — “Pulee time modulation” is a new methed of radio sending that makes it posible to broadeast many programs over owe Wanemitter at the same time and per- mite the receiver, by touching a button, to select the program desired. Just as the experts of the telephone companies have devised methods of send- jeg many messages over the same wire, « a “sequence of time” instead of a U continuous message, the radio experts have now made it possible for a single transmit- ter to make available a number of pro- erame. An experiment recently used eight programs but it is explained that as many ae fifty to one hundred might be sent and received by the use of wider radio bands. W we understand the procedure, the new apparatus received the eight broad- caste at the same time, mixed them into an wnintelligible jargon, converted them inte radio waves which were sent into space. Included in the broadcasts were a ticker service, teletype, facsimile repro- duction, radio, commentary, a broadcast program, an FM musicale, a series of high- fidelity recordings and a concert normally vent over wires. If the new apparatus gets into general use, it will mean, we presume, that one radio station can simultancously broad- a ~ «#aagiyers, by pushing buttons on a receiv- set, can select the program which wish to hear. rd they NO TAX CUT IN 1947 The House of Representatives has voted by more than a two-thirds majority to pase a new tax reduction bill which is . exactly like the one vetoed by President | Truman. The only change in thé veto of the : original bill postpones the effective date date from July 1, 1947, to January 1, 1948. The optimism over Senate approval af- ter the veto has vanished, because there is a@ switch of many Senate Democrats who will not join the Republicans. Anyhow, taxpayers will not save anything this year. i Anyhow, taxpayers will not save any- | thing this year. } ft is very hard to get some business } men of Key West to realize that it doesn’t pay to work themselves to death.

It means that several hundred thou- sand additional dollars will be put into cir- culation in Key West in the course of a ; year. s But that circumstance does not mean more employment for civilians who are out of work. In Tuesday’s Citizen, Jeff Knight, Jr., manager of the Florida State Employ- ment Service, reported that he has on file applications from 428 job-seekers, 207 of whom are veterans. Some residents are perturbed over the y of another depression striking Key . Others are aware that many residents ure out of work, but feel unem- ployment will not reach the level of the depression in the 1930’s. Conditions here likely will be between those two estimates. | Whatever the future has in store for Key West, The Citizen repeatedly has ap- | pealed to residents to save as much of their j earnings as they could without stinting | themselves regarding the necessities of | life. And The Citizen has appealed to the y and county commissioners to keep down their taxation as much as they pos- sibly could. City commissioners have acted favor- ably on that plea, but county commission- ers, with economic conditions in Key West gradually getting worse, have increased the budget for the coming fiscal year, as \ compared with last year, by 43 per cent! Many men and women, who own realty in Key West, chiefly homes, are out of work, and higher taxation means a greater burden for them financially. Taxes in the county have been going up and up and up without a single official effort having been made to start taxation on a downward trend. s is a business-maker in large cities; it is, likewise, a business- builder in Key West when wisely and in- telligently utilized. THE PUBLIC PAYS THE BILL We notice that the Northern soft coal operators and John L. Lewis, representing the miners, have an agreement. It should be noted by the general pub- lie that the only parties represented in the negotiations have been the owners and the miners. Without attempting to pass judgment upon the agreement, it is easily possible for the “public to find itself squeezed between the demands of the \miners for wages and the desire of the jowners for profit. In fact, the generally accepted idea is that when labor and capital get togeth- er to discuss terms of employment, they re the only parties in interest. It is pos- sible to demonstrate, howeyer, that the people of the nation, including the ulti- mate consumers, have a stake in any agree- ment that is made. It is possible to imagine a situation developing in the United States where la- bor and eapital, each getting what they want, will take the rest of the population on an economic ride. In time, it may be necessary to have the public represented in all negotiations for contracts which in- volve an increase in the price of the product concerned. There are some men who never learn that a pretty girl will sometimes smile, even looking them in the eye, without meaning anything at all. “FIXING? TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS Nearly everybody who~ studies the enormous accident toll on our highways becomes convinced that one of the con- tributing factors is inadequate enforce- ment of traffic regulations. Arthur T. Vandebilt, Newark, N. J., equipment shortages are factors in educator proper political influences” contribute greatly to the disregard for traffic regula- tions. The comment of the educator is gen- eral in its scope and applies to the United States as a whole. While we have heard of some instances to “fix” charges of vio- lations of traffic regulations in Fiorida, | fieials go in for that kind of political ac- tivity. There are some, of course, and the pressure of public opinion is needed to make it unhealthy for anybody to use po- litical influences in connection with traf- fic regulations.
