MANY VISITORS
HAVEDESIRE TO
PURCHASE HOMES
SOME NEGOTIATIONS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN CLOSED;
SEVERAL COMMUNICATE
WITH HOUSING BODY

There are many visitors who are
here, or have beer here this year,
who have expressed the desire to
own a home in Key West and
quite a few have accomplished
their desires and purchased homes.
Some of these negotiations have
been closed and others are pend
ing. One man here with his fam
lily told The Citizen today that he
had intended to leave for Wash
ington this morning over the high
way, but as he had just purchas-
ed home and was awaiting de-
livery Of the deeds, had postpOn-
ed his departure until tomorrow.
Another visitor, who is oc-
cupying apartments with his son,
writes the housing department adj
vising that his wife and daugh-
ter will arrive in Key West from
their home in Lake Alfred, Maine,
right after graduation, and asks
concerning lease Of a home by the
year. as they expect to reside in
Key West permanently.
After leaving Key West sew
eral weeks ago at the conclusion
of a visit in this city of several
weeks, a widely known newspa-
per writer was in another famous
Florida resort.
During a talk with the head of
a municipal organization the writ
er said he had decided to pur-
chase a winter home in Key West
To his surprise his hearer said it
was an excellent idea as there was
no question in his mind but that
Key West bids fair to become the
most popular winter resort in the
country.

By HUGO SIMS,

Correspondent

AS clearly pointed out in this
column last week, the IVA deci-
sion of the Supreme Court was an
extremely narrow victory for the
New Deal and leaves no indica-
ton of the Courts attitude to-
ward the social and "power-yard-
stick" program. The decision,
however, tended to check wide
spread criticism Of the Supreme
Court and lessened the prospect
OF a determined effort to restrict
its power.

The Senate has authorized a
committee of five members to
make a study of the machinery
of the Federal government with
the idea of effective reorganiza-
ton and simplification in the in

who submitted the proposal, ex-
plains that the purpose in mind is
not to "snoop around" but to ex-
plore the various departments
and agencies from technical
point of view, in order to ascer-
tain conflicting and overlapping
activities. There can be little
doubt of the possible good that
can be accomplished if the rec
concentrations, resulting from such
a study, can be kept out of poll
ties.

The question of taxes is again
before Congress, with much senti-
ment against any new levies ex-
cept the Substitute" needed to
finance the farm program. Re-
CARELESS of the Presidents rec
concentrations, however, there is
small group of senators anxious
to lower income tax exemptions
and to increase the normal rate.
By doing so they expect not only
to add to the governments in
come but to impress upon the pub
lie the inescapable truth that
somebody must put up the cash
that the nation spends. Senators
Byrd, Couzens and LaFollette ad-
vocate such a plan. Generally,
however, there is little expecta-
ton that they will get far with
the proposal at the present ses-
sion.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-03-03

Congressional leaders retain
their confidence that the 74th
Congress will adjourn sometime
around May 1st. When the ses-
sion opened Congress expected
that neutrality legislation and
provision for work relief through
the fiscal year 1936-'37 plus the
regular appropriation bills, would
constitute its task. The end of
the AAA compelled the passage
! of farm bill and the necessity of
finding new sources of revenue
for the payments being made to
farmers.
Passage of the bonus was con-
sidered certain when Congress
convened with the general idea
that new taxes for this purpose
would be avoided. While no one
can tell how long it will take
Congress to pass relief legislation
or complete action on a tax bill.
these questions of themselves will
, not be sufficient to prolong the
session past the tentative date OF
! adjournment. Unless members
can be kept steadily at work on
these measures, however the like
lihood arises that jealous advo-
Gates of pet measures will bring
them up particularly in the SEN
ate. Among the probabilities
Senator Wagner's low-cost hous-
! ing and slum clearance projects
in the large cities. Senator Rob-
inson's bill to support independent
merchants against competition
from chain stores. and possible
legislation to control munitions
that may be fostered by the "peace
at any price" group which failed
to secure a permanent neutrality
law.

While many critics of the New
Deal have declared that this was
its aim and that adverse decisions,
by close votes were courted in an
effort to affect popular senti-
ment, the fact is that the Presi-
dent, since his famous "horse and
buggy" speech discussing the
NRA decision, has apparently
been inclined to accept the pres
ent situation, take what he can
get in the way of decisions
while waiting the opportunity to
replace members of the Court.

internal revenue, collected by
the Treasury, during the first
seven months of the fiscal year
which began last July, was almost
$5O,00O,O0O ahead of the same
period Of the previous year, al
though there was a decrease Of
$250,000,000 in processing tax
collections. For the seven months
$1,781,038,139 were collected.
Income and excess profits taxes
increased $15O,375,9S3 to $780,
265,640, liquor taxes $55,989,752
to $296,188,327, manufacturers
excise taxes 28,670,3S7 to $222,-
009,250, cigarette taxes $22,-
542,918 to $245,899,173, docu-
mentary stamp taxes $14,245,120
to 39,318,096, and the tax on
bonds of Indebtedness and issues
of capital stock increased S5,708,-
871 to $15,959, 42O and that on
capital stock and other transfers
was up $9,520,205 to a total Of
$18,197. 197 for seven months. A
recital of these gains emphasizes
the business recovery that is TAX
ing place and indicates substan-
tial gains in government income
in the future, even if there are no
additional taxes imposed.

Congress has voted huge lend
ing authorization during the past
three years to credit agencies of
the government. Some are wholly
financed by the federal treasury,
such as the RFC and the Com
modify Credit Corporation. 1t is
worth noting that on January L
these agencies had outstanding
loans of about two billion dollars,
owned through RFC nearly a bill
lion dollars worth of preferred
bank stock and capital notes and
had a half billion dollars in cash,
securities and real estate. Their
excess of assets over liabilities
was around three billion dollars,
approximately as large as the
Federal deficit for last year.

For fifteen years equality for
agriculture" has been a battle
cry throughout the land. The
newly emphasized soil-conserva-
ton measure is the fifth major
legislative attempt to settle the
issue. First, there was the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill to subsidize ex-
ports through the collection of an
Equalization fee. Twice Presi-
dent Coolidge vetoed the prin-
ciple in legislation. Then came
the agricultural marketing act,
with its O0,OOO,OOO Farm Board
revolving fund, which passed
away amid tumbling wheat and
cotton prices after sustaining
severe losses. The AAA. Of re-
cent memory, went further and
attempted to adjust production to
effective demand but ended by a
decision of the Supreme Court.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-03-03

Other important tests await
New Deal legislation, which now
has two favorable decisions~to its
credit and six adverse decisions
scored against it. The next case
to come before the Supreme Court
will be heard during this week,
when the Court will consider the
right of the Government to con-
denim land for PWA slum clear,
ance in a case arising in Louis
vile, KY. One week later the
Court will take up the Guffey
Coal Conservation Act passed by
Congress after the President ask
ed members to forego all ques-
tions to its constitutionality.
Further down the line but COM
ing up for determination, is the
fight of the Duke Power Company
to restrain construction with PWA
funds of a publicly owned and
operated hydro-electric plant at
Buzzard Roost, S. c. An injunc-
ton was granted by the district
court but reversed by a circuit
court of appeal, from where the
case will move to the supreme
tribunal.

time. So is Travis Jackson. Sam
Leslie's future is a question. The
club will need more secondary pitch
ing and some additional extra base
punch somewhere in the lineup.
While the praise for the World
Series is being handed out, though,
don't overlook the Giants. They did
a magnificent job considering what
they had to work with. Colonel
Bill Terry battled as desperately for
a lost cause as did that ancestor
who fought for the Confederacy.
On paper the Giants were Woe
fully Outclassed by the Yankees,
just as they were supposedly out
clasSed by two clubs in their own
league-the Cubs and Cardinals. But
they made a daring start by win
ming the opening game behind Hub
bells pitching. Then in the next
they were treated to drubbing the
like of which has never before been
seen in a World Series. Almost any
other club would have given up.
But what happened? The Giants
came up with a swell pitcneI game
by Fred FitzsimmOns and were out
tucked in losing. The third game
found Mccarthy starting his best
bet, Monte Pearson, who fairly out
pitched and won from Eubbel.
That left one game to 60 for the
Yanks to sweep the series. Even
that didn't stop the Giants. Terry
rallied his veterans and behind the
lion-hearted pitching of Hal Schu-
macher, won the fifth game. The
Yanks couldn't figure out how they
did it. In the sixth and final game,
for seven innings the Giants with
stood an early display of Yank
power, which would have been
enough to stop almost any one else
cold. They were right in the thick
of the argument. In the interests
of efficiency, Terry made all the
shifts the book called for, but in
the pinch the Giants were stopped
BY Fordham Johnny Murphy.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1936-10-23

handled 80 fielding chances without
bObble. While his series batting
average was a pallid $50, he can
grin when he remembers that bases
loaded homer.
Only Lou Gehrig and Bill Dickey
among the other regulars are older
than twenty-eight. Dickey is year
under thirty, while Lou tops that
age by three years. Of the pitchers,
Ruffing and Hadley are thirty-two;
Pearson twenty-seven, Gomez twen-
ty-six and Fordham Johnny Murphy
whose pitching stopped the Giants
in the last game and who should be
a 20 game winner in 81 is twenty
eight.
So the Yanks can give Old Man
Time a race for his mazuma for
a few years at least. Incidentally
Marse Joe doesn't have to be
ashamed of the trades he made last
winter when he decided to strength
en- his club. He picked up Jake
Powell and Bump Hadley from the
Washington club and Monte Pear
son from Cleveland. How would the
Yanks have looked in the World
Series without them?
But on the other hand, the van
pushed Giants need a lot of over
hauling. Last June owner Stoneham
said they wouldn't do. But the rest
of the league by being woefully
weak made a liar out of him. He
can't take a chance with the truth
another year, though.
