FIAT VALUES

In his radio address at Des Moines the
other day. President Hoover waxed highly
indignant over the proposal of the bonus
supporters to issue currency to the amount
of $4,000, 000,0 900, calling it fiat money!
which to financiers means money that is
issued without balancing intrinsic value of
some kind.
The president seemed to believe that
the creation OF such ascurrency would be
an outrageous proposition that would doom
the credit of the United States to ex-
termination
Yet during the first two years of his
administration. he permitted reports of
prosperity to go out from Washington that
created fiat stock values to the amosnt
of more than twenty-five times the amount
suggested by the bonus supporters.
These fiat" stock values had in the
majority of instances absolutely nothing OF
real value back of them and were passed
out to an unsuspecting public which be-
lieved in the prosperity reports
1t would seem to the thoughtful in
diyidual that fiat" money, backed by the
credit and resources of the United States,
il rather better proposition than "fiai
stock values" backed by nothing but re.
ports Of 9 self-advertising administration.

LOCAL LEGISLATION

I Senator Arthur GonleZ'S suggestion
! that an organization be formed and series
of meetings held to determine the nature of
| local legislation desired at the next session
| of the legislature is timely as well as COM
mendable.
| 1t is timely because all local legisla-
| ton has to be published so days before the
! legislature meets and because the governor
| of Florida at that time, Dave Sholtz, en-
| tertains friendly concern in the welfare
| of Key West and will do all he can con-
scientiously to promote her interests.
It is cornmendable because it comes
nearer than anything else to representative
government. A district may have the best
representatives in the world, yet, if they
have not learned the sentiment of their con-
stituents on public questions, they are
obliged to pursue hit or miss policy in in
Producing or supporting measures that con-
Germ the district.
After the legislature convenes it is too
late to advocate this or that bill which, we
feel confident, would prove helpful to Mon
roe county. Indeed, because of one proyi-
sion of the law governing local legislation,
it is too late SO days before the legislature
will be convened.
For that reason it is not too early to
act Immediately on Senator Gomez's sug-
gestion. We have only little more than
three months to propose measures for en-
actmen into law, together with the discus
sions and counter discussions that the pro-
posals will entail
Three months may seem to be long
time to reach agreements on series of
measures, but it should be remembered
that what will please one person will dis
please another, so that the ultimate teci-
sion will have to be based on a majority
sentiment.
The Citizen has wondered many a
time how legislator can be said to rep
fCoCHG Ills COHlIHuLily OT ulSLTlcL WHEN he
does not know what it wants.
The fact is in nearly all cases, he rep
resents his own sentiment or opinion in in
Producing or supporting measure that
concerns his district
Locally that objection can be obviated
and he will become a representative in
fact as we'll as in name if Senator Gomez's
suggestion to the Key West Rotary Club
is put into practice.
Iii that event the people of Monroe
county can get just what they want in the
matter of local legislation. They can tell
Senator Gomez and Representative Albury
what they want and those legislators will
esteem it pleasure, in the line of duty, to
give the people what they want.
Key West has not been alive to her in
terests in legislative matters as have most
cities, and she should avail herself now of
the opportunity to decide on measures that
will promote and conserve her civic and
political progress.

There is movement on foot by a
number of newspapers to have the federal
bankruptcy law amended particularly
looking to some kind OF change which
would stop the practice of merchant go
ing into bankruptcy, buying out stock at a
small price and then remaining in bust
ness. sometimes without even closing the
doors but with great losses to creditors and
unfair competition with other merchants
who are trying to treat everyone fairly.
