INSTALLMENT PLAN TAX
COLLECTION

wasted energy and the generation of mil
liors of cubic feet of hot air, the threat
against the business interests dies down,
not by any act of grace on the part of the
city council, but because the complers of
our city charter did not include in that in
strun]er any letters of marque that would
legalize the contemplated foray.
AS The Citizen has steadfastly main
tanned, the objective; namely, that of
meeting at least a portion of the current
payroll could not have been attained. The
only result would have been some I'M
necessary Inconvenience to our oil dealers
and the transfer of sales TO point outside
of the city limits.
1t might not be out of place at this
point to suggest that in the future, when
radical changes in our tax structure are be-
ing contemplated, that the opinion of the
city attorney as to their legal standing be
obtained Eat the point of origin" rather
than after vast amount of discussion and
1t seems hardly likely that the assault
will be resumed, in view of the fact that
the agitation has brought to the front the
cOmmOn-senSe idea of collecting col
lcctable taxes, as was contemplated when
city charter was adopted.
AS an emergency measure, The Citi-
zen has urged the collection Of taxes on an
installment plan, and this idea was ably
presented by Councilman Freeman at the
meeting last Wednesday, It's inherent
merits will argue strongly for its adoption;
and it will prove to be many times more
productive than the sales tax which
crumped up so completely when legal
opinion was asked for.
But it must be borne in mind that there
is vast difference between making taxes
PAYABLE on the installment plan and
making them COLLECTABLE by provid-
ing for prompt and regular calls upon
those who would like to take advantage of
this convenient method
Few, if any, installment houses would
tarry long in business if they depended up
U IHClI ca. IOIilcIS Gaining upon IHem WIFI
their il ;tallment due in hand
The backbone of the pay as you
use" system Z a regular, dependable call
by a collector when the payment, as
promised, is due. Upon his regularity
rests his success as a collector and the
business prosperity of the house that en-
p0ys him.
it'll many of our people, we MUST
b lelIent But that is no reason why
other I iZers, able to pay either in lump
sum, or on the installment plan, should
demand ike lenency. The solvent pas
senger Who would demur at paying his
fare just because some unfortunate was
getting by on the bumpers without being
officially observed, would probably land
on the right of way without ceremony.
Key West is carrying too many able
dead-heads. BECAUSE, the conductor
has failed to go through and collect his
fares
The Citizen will object to any in
novationS in the tax line until sincere.
impartial effort has been made to COL
LECT the money due the city and due the
men who are prompt in performing their
duties as firemen, policemen, etc. and who
are entitled to an equal degree of prompt
ness when pay day comes around.

Almost every mail brings me a
letter from some young woman who
aspires to become a hostess on an
airline. And every once in a
while letter hobs up from some
young man who would like similar
position. The latter, of course, would
be- called steward.
The aspirants for positions as
hostesseS seem to be familiar
enough with the requirements for
the job, but they usually want to
know what airlines employ young
women and to whom to apply for
job. If they only knew of the
thousands of applications for
hostess positions received by the
nations transport companies they
mightn't be so eager.
And out of all these thousands
of applicants, less than 200 young
women are actually employed as

are under the impression that a
hostess must be licensed, like pilots
and dispatchers. But the bureau has
no jurisdiction over hostesses-they
must apply directly to the airlines

travel by air, the position as host

strenuous, is clean and full of in
