VOTES!!!

The greatest possession of free peo-
pie is the ballot-the right to vote. 1t is a
defender of our liberties and weapon
against injustice
Yet that invaluable heritage is not
priced by millions of otherwise good citi-
zens. Proof of this statement can be
found in undeniable statistics In most
elections, less than half of the persons who
are entitled to vote do so. 1t is exceptional
when an election brings to the voting
booths more than fifty per cent of en-
franchised citizens.
One result is that public officials are
elected by minorities-the vote of the ma
jority is silent. Another, and worse result,
is tagging of interest by the people in
a thing which vitality affects us all-our
government
This year, there are great issues be-
fore us. No matter where we may stand,
it is our duty as we'll as our privilege to
mark an X opposite names of our choice on
the ballot. Only by doing that, can we
have popular government.
In Germany the right to vote has
been virtually abrogated-at the last cleo
ton citizens had choice of endorsing Hit
Ter or of leaving the ballot blank, there
being no opponent. That is true of Italy,
of Russia, of Greece, of a dozen other
powers. And here in America, where we
still have that right which preserves our
freedom, half of us don't trouble to exer-
else it.
So vote tomorrow. 1t is not only your
privilege, but your duty; do not shirk it.
The ballot contains three amendments
for your consideration: The Social Sc
curity Act the adjustment of the slot ma
chine, and the merger of city and county.
The Citizen favors social security, the rev.
ocation of the slot machines and the con-
solicitation of the City of Key West with the
County of Monroe.
Let us make our percentage of votes
the largest in the state of Florida.

A COMMITTEE REPORTS

Some time ago a committee to study
the country's resources and report its find
ings to the President was appointed, and
that report finally has been made. Among
the findings of the committee are the fol-
lowing:
Most of the territory occupied by
the United States is not naturally suited
for permanent civilization.
Danger of national disaster through
soil erosion may be averted by a COM
prehensive program of erosion control, if
made fully effective within 20 years.
Since 1929 enough labor and machine
capacity have been wasted to have rebuilt
practically all the factories, railroads and
utilities in the country.
There are $4,000 different govern
ment units-including Federal, state and
local-managing the affairs of the Amer
lean people.
This last item is perhaps the most en-
Tightening of all, and gives the reason for
the ever-increaSing tax burden, and the
fact that one person in every 10 is now on
the public payrolls.
Now what does the committee recon-
mend?
That more government agencies be
established, of course. 1t suggests the en-
ployment of national and local planning
committees to advise and cooperate with
the $4,000 agencies already in existence.

average of a considerable number of
business activities as related to a
given year as basis for comparison.
That given basic year is always 100.
1t is much the same as stating tenn
peratures as being so many degrees
above or below zero. In the case of
prices the averages are of prices only.
but in the case of general business
activity index figures include wide
variety of productive activities.
When was the low point of the de-
preston reached?{r sEl 4 !
Using as guide the commonly ac-'
cepted index of productive, activity,
as published by the Board OF Cover
nors of the Federal Peserve System.

for the years 1923 to 1925. The pres
ent index for August. 1886. was 1907.
The low point in wholesale prices
was in February. 1888 The index then
was 1913 compared to the 100 for 1926.
The index for August. 1886. was 81.
or 18 points below the 100 for 1926.
When did the principal rise il. our
wholesale prices take place?
It was in the months April to July
1888. The average rose from GOA to
639 No other four months have
shown such sharp rise. This unusual
rise was due to the delayed buying
caused by the uncertainties generated
by the political campaign of 1892 and
the doubts raised in peoples minds
from November. 1892. to March. 1888:
to the talk of currency imitation: and
to the supposition that if the currency
were devaluated prices would rise as
a consequence.
How did devaluation of the dollar
affect our wholesale prices?
One cannot sa:- definitely that de-

OFFENSIVE SIGNS

In keeping with what is becoming a
worldwide protest against offensive signs
and billboards, the authorities of Paris
have decreed that no signs shall be dis
played on the famous thoroughfare, the
Champs Elysees, which advertise any
goods notaactually sold on the premises.
Recently protests were heard in Eu-
rope concerning Objectionable American
billboards which mar the landscape. In
this country the women's clubs and other
organization are, waging campaign
against the billboard nuisance.
By their erection of signboards which
spoil the natural scenery along the high
ways, and by their encroachment in resi-
Dental sections of our cities, the billboard
people have brought upon themselves the
just resentment of that section of the pub
lie which has regard for appearances.
When we become more civilized the
billboard will go the way of the town crier.
AS an advertising medium it is an an
achronism already.

valuation, rather than other factors,
affected our wholesale prices. One
may, however. point out how these
prices behaved as a consequence OF
the multitude of forces affecting them:
It may be recalled that in October,
1893, the Federal Government en-
barked upon its gold-buying program
to depreciate the value of our dollar.
and that this lasted until the end OF
January. 1884. In October 1888. our
index number of wholesale prices was
q; in December it was 70.8; in Janu-
airy, 1884, it was 1872. Legal devalua-
ton of the dollar by Al per cent took
place on January 81. 1884, when the
index lumber of the price level was
1872. For four months after devalua-
ton wholesale prices were practically
steady. A slow rise began in June,
1884, and has now reached 81.
How did the index of productive
activity behave during these periods?
In October. 1888. it was rs; in De-
cember. rs: in January. 1884. it was
70. 1t sagged to II in September. 1884.
and since then has risen. with some
ups and downs, to 107 in August of
this year.
How did these indexes of produc-
ton and of wholesale prices behave
during and after the period of the
MIRA?
This Act became law on June 16. 1888.
The production index was then 81.
The law was declared unconStitution-
al in May. 1885. The production index
had fallen from the 81 at the begin
ming of the MIRA. to IS. IT rose from
Sc in June. 1885. to 81 by October. and
now is LOT. Wholesale prices in June.
1888. were 65. In May. 1898. they were
80.2. For the remainder of the year
they were practically steady and are
now 50.

ton and of wholesale prices behave
during and after the period of the
A.A.A.?
This Act became law on May IL,

on January 6. 1886. The index of pro-
duction in May. 1888. was IS. tHere

it is nevertheless one of the most dynamic
