MORE ABOUT POLITICS BUT THIS TIME IN DISCUSSION OF LANGUAGE Key West High School and Convent students write interestingly in The Citizen and their language is excep- tionally good for persons of their age. But all of us slip up, even those oldsters who have diligently studied Eng- lish for half a century or more, We don’t want the students to think we are critical or preachy when we give them a tip about a slip that often occurs among persons two or three times older than the students. Everybody, except a know-it-all, is pleased to receive information that helps him. With the students now aware we are writing in a kindly, not a critical, vein, we will proceed to point out a slip that often occurs in the use of English, even among persons who have graduated from college. ' A student writing in The Citizen said, booming everywhere in Politics is one of many nouns in English that are plural in form but singular in sense and should not be used with plural construction. not are, and the same is true of headquarters is, whereabouts is, news is, econom- ics is, a hundred dollars is the amount, and so on with many other nouns that are plural in form and singular in sense. If young folks today are similar to young folks of our day, then they think that using big words is prefer- able to using simple words, but the reverse is true. Simple words, if used concisely, have an impact that big words lack. It has been remarked many a time that when a man or a woman is able to write as he speaks he or she be- comes a great writer. Attaining that goal seems to be easy, but it is hard, hard, hard. As soon as a writer, with an exception here and there, sits at a typewriter or picks up pen or pencil to write, he instantly changes his mode of thinking. He thinks that, to write, he has to be careful in picking his words, and sometimes “politics are Politics is, because he is going even stops writing to look in a book of synonyms to find | a “bette press his me Another rd, usually an adjective or an adverb, to ex- t is the usage of too many adjectives or or of the New York News, which has a t ier daily newspaper in the United State paper to the habit of s few adjecti as possible and makin a point to use hard- shitting | verbs, _ SLICE OF HAM The Key West High School.” > assigned the success of his | Teday’s ‘Business Mirror By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (® — The tax col- lector is the last person you'd think would be worrying today. But businessmen say that shrink- \ing corporate profits are cutting into the U. S. Treasury’s take from industry, and this drop may. offset its greater bite on the pocketbooks of individuals. If this proves to be so, it means that private citizens will bear a greater percentage share this year of the burden of supporting the government, even though the in- come tax rates aren’t going up again. Tax receipts from both business and individuals in March came to 10 billion dollars. But the Treasury is reported to have expected the big payment month to bring in 12 billion dollars. Treasury Secretary Snyder says he still expects, when he closes his books June 30 on the present fiscal year, to record a total of 62% billion dollars in taxes—as estimated in the budget in Janu. ary. If he collects as much this May and June as he did in those months last year, he’ll make it. Individual income tax payments are unquestionably greater this year—as you must know. As long | as individual incomes stay high, the new higher rates will bring a golden flow to the Treasury. But many think that the Treasury over- estimated corporate earnings and therefore the amount it would get in income taxes from business. So far this year most companies are showing lower gross earnings on which income and excess profit jtaxes are levied. And most com- Fanies are setting aside less mon- | ey now for tax payments than | they did at this time a year ago.

So far, these reports show a total of 165 million dollars less set aside for taxes, | the bank finds, with only a minority | of the companies reporting as yet.
