We need go back only to the pew | ning of 1929 when all types of business men, particularly Stock Market specula- tors, thought that the boom would continue fora lohg time. Only a short time before the Stock Market crash in November, 1929, the business skies appeared to be rosi than ever, And then— What happened, everybody knows. Now comes Secretary of the Treas John W. Snyder who says the outlook is for “Continued prosperity.” In the story dispatches credi a ines” rehes from which ine. sociated Press, he did not say how long the prosperity will or may continue. He will be right in his forecast if ‘the continuation is only for a week, but Tet us assume he meant for the rentainder of this year.. While The Citizen would be pleased if such a prediction were made, and turh- ed out to be true, it shotld be pointed out “that nobody knows when a crash is comitig until it is about to occur. Never, in the history of the world, has business always been good or bad. It is an kinds of business that the good follows the bad and the bad the good. Key Westers should bear in mind that when times are good to keep an’eye on-the proverbial rainy day. This decade ‘has been abundantly favorable to Key West. The city has set records in income and in development. Local prosperity has been more general than ever before, and should any resident be caught empty- handed when the tide begins to turn, he will have nobody to blame but himself.

While the Mayors were criticising the conditions which have been boosting taxes, the Senators and Representatives en the Hill were wrestling with the same problem.
