TAMPA. Fla. Jan. 2-Floridians are regaining their faith in the future economic development If the state and are paying their way out of the financial muddle left by the collapse of one of the greatest investment booms in his tory. leading Florida, business men say.
 They declare the year has SC Fl a campaign of retrenchment an economy throughout all lines of industry quite different from the orgy of spending when the boom was in swing.
 The period of depression appar ently is passing, business leaders agree, declaring the state as | whole is in fairly good economi, condition.
 Period Reviewed
 Reviewing the period following the boom. Fl. A. Dan of St. Peters burg. president of the State Cham Der of Commerce, said thai some Floridians, unfamiliar witt conditions throughout the countr, during the summer were of the opinion that Florida alone was ex periencing wave of depression
 investigation has developed however" he added, that in com parison' with other states Florida actually was in a more favorable position. Although progress will be slow for few years, the stat is bound to come back to normal cy. No Florida political division has been reported as having de faulted on it's obligations, and T number of municipalities have az tually gone into the open market recently and purchased their own paper in advance of the date of maturity"
 Cash on Hand
 Peter o. Knight, prominent Tampa lawyer. banker and busi ness man. said Florida banks have more cash on hand today than at any time In history and that never before have prospects for sound. economic development of the state been more promising MT. Knight looks for another boom in six or seven years.
 Thousands of persons during the boom days who invested their all i'll first payments, expecting io sell at profit before the secon1 payment was due. lost everything MT Knight explained. Since then he asserted. they have misrep-o sehted conditions to the extent ol affecting the solvency of the state and its institutions.
 "I think that 1 can safely say he declared, that very few peo pie who put their money in good sound investments and kept il there without speculation suffe- ed any financial losses"

Teaching Fair Play


Boys, out for the joy Of the thing, steal SO
per cent Of the motor cars reported stolen, ac-
cording to the prosecutor at Kansas City.
In an earlier day it probably would have been
called fun, but now the headlines have elevated
such pastime to the dignity of "thrill-theft."
The prosecutor offers solution. He thinks
boys persist in this crime because they are
dealt with leniently because Of their age. He
proposes minimum of five years in the peni-
Tertiary, with few or no paroles, as one possible
remedy. He believes that this plan would save
hundreds of boys from careers in crime.
The five-year term might save hundreds of
boys from careers in crime, but we doubt if it
is exactly the thing needed.
We think youth should be taught sense
of fair play, and that if he acquires that, he
will be no thief. Boys used to have very nice
scruples about where fun ended and crime
began, and we think it was the old-fashioned
parents who ought to get the credit for this.
Our recommended place of application Of the
sense of fair play is the old woodshed. We
think few more trips to that sanctum would
save great deal of time ir the penitentiary.
The woodshed is wonderful laboratory in
which to teach fair play.

Motor Rules and the Future

The widespread use of the motor car is COM
polling lawmakers to give considerable atten-
tion to the special problems it presents. Judg-
ing from the efforts now being made to pro-
mote safety anc sanity in driving it is alto
gether probable that within the next few years
the world will see many radical extensions in
public control over motoring.
New York already is considering banishing
private cars from the more congested business
areas. Even now limitation Of parking areas
in the downtown section of all big cities fore
shadows the day when all cities, in lieu of some
other way Of meeting the problem may have to
consider limitation Of traffic in certain locali-
ties.
Engineers and architects specializing in bust
ness construction already must keep in mind the
special problems involved in the constantly in
creasing use of motor cars. Every street which
loses it's fine shade trees to provide wider driv-
ing space and more generous parking area is a
reminder that the motor car is making more
and more insistent demands on our ingenuity.
In fact it is altogether possible that the cities
of the future will be driven by the automobile to
radical changes in street widths, highway APP
proaches and general plan which we Of today
can only dimly foresee.
