MUSICAL TASTE BETTER

In spite of the preponderance of jazz
and other trivial music on the air, Walter
Damroseh believes that radio audiences are
rapidly forming taste for symphonic and
other high class programs
He has come to this conclusion from
the many thousands of letters he has re-
ceived from those who have enjoyed his
music appreciation" concerts by SYM
phony orchestra during the last few years,
and the great increase in these expressions
of approval which have come to him. He
says:
From the first l was confident the
radio would bring about new era in the
history of symphonic music in this eOun-
try, but l had no idea that the results
would become apparent so quickly
An increasing number of Americas
finest symphony orchestras. grand opera
companies and concert bands have been
heard on the air, during the last year, all
contributing tremendously to the develop
ment of better appreciation of good
music on the part of the general public
We should have even more such programs
in the future.

DEBTS
(The Presbyterian of the SOuth)

Debts very easily made, but not al
ways so easily paid One of the distressing eondi-
tons of the present day is the way in which debts
being piled up. This is true of the Nation, of
the States, and of individuals. The national debt
in the last two years has increased rapidly that
1t IS impossible Tor the ordinary to keep up
with it and the end is not yet Except in the
height Of the World War period this debt has
never been large grown as fast.
The same thing is true of the states debts In
1921 ten states had debts, and the debts o. the
other thirtyeight states tOtaled 4343, 900. At
the present time only three states are free from
debts and the debts Of the other fOrty-fve states
total S1671 O92, 600. The total debt of the states
are, therefore. three times as great as they were
thirteen years ago.
There is no way OF estimating the amounts of
private debts. but they are enormous and they are
growing very rapidly. The Government. in order
to help those who in Gtraitened circumstances
and to provide work for unemployed, has greatly
encouraged people to go into debt Money has
been loaned to vast numbers of people who could
show that it would be wisely spent and it has been
loaned on very easy terms, and in many cases has
brought great relief to property owners and to
wOrkmen.
However, the distressing part of this whole
matter is that these debts must be paid, The Gov
esnments. National and State will provide for their
debts by increasing the taxes, but they must be
paid by the people. The private debtors will have
to look out for themselves. individuals cannot do
much about regulating the taxes to be assessed to
pay Government debts, but they have all to do with
paying their own debts. There are at least two
things that every who is in debt should do
One is that he should. just as far as possible keep
his debts from increasing The other is that ne
should do all in his power TO meet the payments
on his debts. including interest, as fast as they
come due. This will probably require hard work
on the part OF most men, and will involve eeononn-
zeal living for time. But it is better to
economic and pay the debt. than to let the pay
ments accumulate until he will be forced to sell all
that he has. and then probably be left with part
o. his debt unpaid
To get out o. debt =siH require the united eff
fort OF husband and wife and children.

BUSINESS PLANS FORWARD STEP

The information comes from Washing
ton that leaders of private business in many
fields have determined that something
should be, done to shorten bread lines in
this country and that private business
should do it.
As a result of the recent election. with
its vote of confidence in the administra-
ton, these leaders realize that there will be
no Immediate change in public policies and
that, in order to prevent further objection
able legislation, it is up to business TO show
that the country can recover without new
changes and even without some of the
emergency laws now on the books.
This is encouraging. Everybody hopes
that in some manner business will acquire
that confidence for which it seeks and that
financial. industrial and economic leaders
of the nation will get together. pull to-
gether and put the United States on its
feet again. In such move lies the best
prospect of preventing radical demands in
Congress and the possible threat of ill-ad-
vised relief measures

HELP TO ALL WHO
HELP THEMSELVES

This year we are selling the
idea of Key West as a unique
tourist resort. There are some who
are short-sightedly preparing to
cash in immediately and as much
as possible. This is the wrong at
titude with which to approach our
experiment. and one that for
bodies paltry ultimate return.
We are aiming to establish a
tourist haven not for those who
are left of the get-rich-quick; but
for people who are looking for the
unpretentious beauties that we can
extend to them. These are the
more substantial type of tourists
who always return where they
have been commended. And one Of
the ways 10 make them contented
is to refrain from treating them as
objects for gypping.
One can, of course, always
charge a tourist a quarter extra
for some item He will pay It. But
he will resent being gypped. Dis
gruntled tourists do not make
good friends. And in the end il is
always the shopkeeper who pays
for overeharges to his customers.
If We are to make our city a
really unique resort. one of the
first things. we must do is to cor
rect the grabbing attitude towards
tourists. We must keep our prices
absolutely normal. For one salts
fled tourist this year. twenty viii
return next year. For if We charge
the tourist what we charge the Key
Westers. he will enjoy being con-
sidered Key Wester. and viii not
forget that he has in one resort
been treated squarely. and as a
normal element in the community.
He will go home and say that Key
West is really unique.
