MONOGRAPH Dear Taxpayer: It is compulsory to pay the sales tax imposed by the state, and you have no choice in the matter, unless you wish to be penalized, Futhermore, the seller cannot pay the sales tax of the buyer or run afoul of the law and its unpleasant consequences. THE ORACLE ee eat deena eee ee een en ee cn EE EREREEEEREEEE S"UBIGNESS DOESN’T MEAN MONOPOLY =" “The fundamental test of any human =—ctestitution is how it exercises its steward- ship,” said J. H. Pipkin of the Texas Com- pany recently. “There have been times in ~~~ our economic and political history when GuBlwness’ has been ‘badness’, when ‘such "=Biewardship has been abused. There have =Deen, in the past, great combinations built =supby ruthless and immoral practices, com- «~binations which have thereupon held a “Gaonopoly over something the people must “[Have, and which have charged extortion- "~-ate prices. It is the memory of such things Sxthat remains yet, that makes any business =—=man, ahy consumer, fearful of the rise of monopoly. = Mr. Pipkin then went on to say that “there is virtually no chance or-opportunity forthe rise and spread of true industrial monopolies now, and made this very im- portant statement: “Bigness, as such, does ~Hiot mean monopoly today. Those who TZ think it does may be sincere, honest peo- ~ple, but they are fatally mistaken.” There are. big businesses in practically every line of endeavor. They exist in the oil industry, of which Mr. Pipkin is a re- 4. presentative. Yet there are actually 34,- N00 oil companieés in this country today, of =altsizes and kinds. Every one of them is “trying to grow and to prosper. They all compete with each other, and the result of this competition is found in lower prices, better products, and other public benefits. The successful business, regardless of its size, prospers because it does a job which the pyblic approves—not because it has a monopoly of anything. Oil is just one of the many examples of that fact. : RIDING ON THE RAILROAD The railroads want increased freight fates, more passengers and higher incomes so that they can return,to the “good old days.” Evidently the main trouble with the railroads is that they’are being slowed down by competition from the automobile and trueking industries, and airplanes that fly the skies, But im reality the railroad problem today is the inability of the chiefs in that great branch of transportation to adjust themselves to modern transportation changes.

Looking back over the last 12 months we find quite a list of developments that has a direct bearing on the future. These may be listed as follows: . President Truman’s continued use of the U. S. Naval Station facilities as_ his “Little White House,” ; Approval of $61,000 by the U. S. Housing Authority for a survey to be made in Key West for additional low cost hous- ing. The actual construction costs will total more than a million dollars. Approval of $365,000 for the Electric company. - Continued progress in the Key West- Havana ferry financial dealings. Pi Proposal to forward a Rural Electri- fication project along the lower Keys from Keys | Big Pine Key_to-Boea Chica Key. 4 Building permits totaling more than $2,000,000 which breaks all construction records of all time in the Island City. $500,000 Bond issue approved for the Monroe County Schools. Opening of the $250,000 Monroe County Beach, and establishment of a his- torical society at the old Martello Fort. Every one of these developments is highly important in Key West in its aim toward full prosperity. The Citizen not only wishes every one a very happy and prosperous New Year, but ventures the opinion that it will be a much happier and much more properous year than 1949. “Due care” is a legal phrase but the lack of it causes death to many Americans. DENFELD REFUSES FOREIGN POST Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, who was removed from duty as Chief of Naval Op- erations in October, has declined to serve as Commander of U. S. Naval Forces in Europe. When the post was offered him on December 10th, he verbally declined it and was requested to make a_ written statement of his position. Admiral Denfeld points out that the Secretary of the Navy, in October, in re- questing his removal from his former post, said that he was not loyal to. his superiors and did not have-the ‘respect for authority that should exist.” With this in mind, Admiral Denfeld said that if other nations have read this public ac- cysation, he would not enjoy the respect and confidence for the successful opera- tion of his command in Europe. Pointing out that this would involve continual relationship with our allies and their armed services, particularly in con- nection with military assistance program, the Admiral pointed gut that he would be under an undesirable restraint in frankly discussing military matters with representatives of the North Atlantic Pact nations. He admitted that his views on combined strategy and, particularly on naval participation, might reopen the recent controversy “to the embarrass- ment of my colleagues, my superiors and our government.” The position taken by Admiral Den- feldy in his letter declining the proffered post, is entirely sound. Certainly, if he represents the United States in London, as Commander of our naval férces in Eu- rope, he would have to participate in the planning which accompanies military as- sistance and the projected defense of the three countries. Unless he has altered his previously expressed views, and his letter shows that he has not, the Admiral would be completely out of step with American military representatives in London. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is fast becoming a general without an army. ADJECTIVES BOLSTER ROMANCE We have just read the news story of a “beauteous daughter” of a “wealthy Spanish duke” who fell in love with a “handsome bull-fighter.” Presumably, it came from Spain on the cable and was dished out to the press un- der a Madrid date-line. It told of the poor gal sliding down a sheet from her bed- room to get to the hero, who had flown to Spain from Venezuela where he was fight- ing the bulls. The yarn may tickle the fancies of susceptible youngsters and romantic adults and it may even start a wave of elope- ments via ladders, ropes, trees and bed sheets. If it does, every sister who tries it will be “beauteous,” every lover “hand- some,” and every article will tell us some- thing about the “path of true love.” Chapter 13 ‘T_HAD been a busy day for: I Valse.
