We'd like very much to hear some listeners reactions to the opera Guild programs now on NBC- -WEAF at o'clock Sunday nights. We've had some letters as result of the first broadcast but most of the conclusions drawn were inconclusive, if you'll forgive an attempt at Chestertonianism Tomorrow nights English version of a famous opera will be Aida" and we'd appreciate comments from listeners on the broadcast, so that we'll be able to judge the public response to this novel series little better.

TAXES COST MORE THAN FOOD

Last year, according to the United
States News, the American people paid
s1.035, O00,00 for medical services, ST.
LOO. 100000 for fuel and light, $4,000. 000,-
900 each for clothing and for home rental,
$3.50, 000, 900 for the most basic neces-
sity of all, food-and $4,000, 000, 900 for
taxes!
The increase in taxation-locaI, state
and nationals the most startling and
menaeing economic development since the
world war. It was not so long ago that we
used TO pity overtaxed European countries,
in the belief that we were escaping their
experience. Today, with the cost of all
forms Of government soaring in the face of
diminishing taxable assets and earnings,
Recently England, one of the heaviest
taxed countries, enjoyed general tax re-
duction, made in the interest of industrial
recovery. The United States, unhappily,
has no such prospect
A great part of the tax money does
nothing to encourage industry-some of it
Is actually used for projects and expert
ments which discourage and throttle
private initiative, retarding employment,
rather than increasing it. 1t is bar, not a
spur, to purchasing power 1t stands in
the way of investment, industrial expan-
sion, farm and home ownership. 1t is
creating vast, wastefuI and inefficient
bureaucracy which wakes fat while the
public which supports it starves
Industrial recovery and employment
are inextricably bound up with the tax
problem Until government retrenches,
all our efforts to go forward will be large
" futile.

THE GLAD HAND
fSt. Augustine Record)

fSt. Augustine Record)
Down in Key West. where the FERA is de-
veloping model tourist resort, with the idea of
bringing visitors who win help with the rehabili-
tation OF the community the subject of hospitality
is uppermost Just now. An organization known as
the Hospitality League. composed of 80 members,
IS holding regular meetings, and making plans for
welcoming visitors, and giving them good time
after they arrive.
So far the plans of the league include estab-
lishment of an information booth; the sending of
welcome letters to incoming tourists; the checking
up Of taxi rates. the opening of Hospitality House,
where tourists may be received, and get acquainted
with Key West people and the checking up on ae-
eommodations offered to tourists There are en-
tertainment, transportation and housing commit
tees. each of which has its duties to perform for
the Hospitality League.
1t sounds as though Key West is going into
this tourist business in big way. Other Florida
resorts should be able to get some good ideas from
the plans being worked out down there, since Key
extremely practical basis.
There many reasons why tourists should
want to go to Key West. For one thing, it has
certain quantness and charm. 1t is the southern
most city the United States and is picturesquey
located the journey TO it giving the visitor unique
experience. He travels from key to key on the
famous Oversee Railway of the Florida East Coast
Railway. Of the greatest engineering feats of
the world. Over small, palm-fringed islands. where
lime groves show their dusky green, the train
passes to traverse great stretches of water span
ned by mighty viaducts. The traveller has the
strange sensation o. going to sea by rail. And on
either side are the stretches of opaleseent water
Surely never colors so vivid or so lovely
Key West has for many years been stop
over city the Cuban trip. Many people will con-
tinue to it in that way, but we believe, with
the effort that is being made to attract and to
hold tourists in Key West travellers win really en-
joy that old city and wish to remain for time
After all, we can't beat the spirit of friend
illness when we begin to sit down and figure out
what do to make our town popular. Those
who are behind the rehabilitation of Key West are
working hard various angles OF the matter. but
they put hospitality way the top of the hist and
other Florida resorts should heed.
