LANDON SPEECH
 .WASATTACKED
Secretary of Interior Ickes Shows Where His Views
 Have Altered

Washington, Aug. 4-(UP)-Secre tary of Interior Harold L. 1ckes charged in 6 vitriolic radio speech that the state compacts advocated by Governor Ali M. Landon in his republican presidential acceptance address were characterized by the Kansas governor iS months ago as about tho deadeSt horse I know" Ickes made the charge in Q Ave- point answer last night to Landon'a acceptance speech In which he at- tackled the republican non1ineeB po- sition on civil service, labor, "dic- tatorship" and state compacts. Cit- Ing L,andon's statement that the state compact legislative method was provided by the amazing fore- sight of the makers of the constitu- tion," Ickes recalled a letter written by Landon to Wirt Franklin, oil producer, in January, i0S6.
 'The compact between states idea," Ickes quoted Landon as write ing, "haS been agitated ever since Hoover submitted 1t to the Colorado Springs conference and 1t is about the deAdest horse I know, # there is any possibility of one dead horse horse being deader than another" |" Ickes discussed Landon's views on oil regulation in detail, comparing them with those presented by the repub- lican candidate since nomination. "As Q practical progressive" said Ickes, Governor Landon is now op- posed to governmental regulation and control, but as c practical oil man the record shows that he has not only been in favor of such reg ulation and control but even of tho fixing of minimum prices"

When Louis Bria, member of the board of education, introduced the question at yesterdays meeting about Q woman teacher in this city, appointed in May and given . con- tract, and who has since been mar ried but has not yet resigned, Q long discussion followed, during which time some members of the board differed with the opinion of John J. Walsh, chairman of the group. Mir. Walsh said that the teacher could be fired, even though she had Q con- tract.
 The suspension was relieved some- what yesterday, in regard to this particular case, when Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools, stated that he had been informed by the named teacher in the case that she intended to tender her resignation month before the actual opening of schools here. He also stated that no such situation had arisen here during the past thirty-six years, the time he has been employed by the local depart

FILE FINGERPRINTS

The Civil Identification Section of the
fingerprintS to its collection. Not the
fingerprints of criminals or those who have
been arrested but the prints of Americans
who want theirs filed for purposes of iden-
LITIGATION whenever it might be helpful In
June over 10000 such fingerprints were
voluntarily sent in to the Department and
added to those on file.
This is desirable. Every now and
then a man or woman is found wandering
around, victims of amneSia unable to tell
who they are or where they come FROM If
their fingerprints were on file, they could
be identified and their loved ones notified.
Then, they would receive proper care and
the suspense of relatives ended as to the
whereabouts of the missing member of the
family.
People die oftentimeS amid strangers
and far from home. Nobody knows their
names or who to notify of the loss Finger
prints sent to the Department could easily
tell everybody who the unknown person
was. During one month the Department
received the fiRgerprints of 288 persons
who had died and who were unknown, but
with even the limited file in its possession
the Department was able to identify 72
of these positively and So tentatively,
which were confirmed.

her reason that she wished to campaign
for the election of President Roosevelt.
The contemplated tour will take her over
thirteen states, and give her new husband

quite otherwise. If the worlds expe-
riences with different types Of none
tary standards are a reliable guide.
then the United States and all other
leading nations of the world will ulti-
mately return to q gold standard in
some form. The preponderance of
monetary experts and others who
understand the principles Of money
and credit and the history of none
tary standards. advocate an early re-
turn.
The groups which oppose such a
return are miscellaneous assort-
ment of minority factions which for
one reason or another manage to stir
up rumpus and to issue pronounce
ments regarding what should be done
with our monetary system regardless
of the absence Of any important tan
gble evidence that they are qualified

ADOPT BUSINESS PRINCIPLES!

In his talk to the City Council on
August 10, WPA Administrator Reck gave
an excellent exhibition of hitting the nail
on the head, and some phases of our sit
uation were brought home to us that
should have been perfectly plain, long ago,
and without any assistance from recent ar
rivals. To succeed a business must be run
in busineSS-like manner, and the city adj
ministration is Key Vests biggest bust,
ness.
1t is all right to be "kind and tender
hearted, and forgiving one another as we
are enjoined to be; but in what should
have been business transactions, Key West
has developed these virtues until we have
careened the ship by lOp-sided ladng of
one kind of virtue to the exclusion of
about all the other virtues in the cate
CORY; especially the business-like virtues
which form the foundation of our social
and political existence.
In the collection Of taxes; a collection
which we must make if we are to pay en-
plOyees the wages which we have agreed
to pay them, (and there is no weghtier OBJ
legation known in the business world,) we
have been friendly and considerate to
degree that constitutes a serious reflec-
ton upon our sense of responsibility; and
efipplessoar efforts to perform our obliga-
tions. So
We are not advocating harsh methods
that might work hardships upon people
temporarily helpless; there is no need of
such methods. There is enough property
now idle because as soon as prospective
purchaser and user of it shows up the price
is jumped beyond his reach) there is
enough revenue producing property on
which, as with the first class, taxes are
long overdue, to place us on self-sustain-
ing basis, if steps are taken to collect these
taxes.
There have been some noble resolves
made in the past to corrct this condition,
and the City Attorney was instructed to
enter foreclosure proceedings on num-
Der of properties: but, evidently, there was
heart failure somewhere along the line and
proceedings were never begun.
Every one of us senses pulsation of
new life in the veins of Key West Our
people are weary of futility. We are go
ing to need lot of action in the future that
lies before us; and action we are going to
have.
We are coming to the end of the era
of begging and borrowing and standing off
the people to whom we owe money; and
we are coming to the beginning of the era
in which Key West shall lift her head and
move with pride among her sister cities.
The bridges will do much for us, but a
dozen bridges could not take the place of
business management of our affairs up
on established business principles. There
is but one way to begin and that is, with
out favoritism unjust discrimination, to
enter upon buSiness-like, considerate and
determined program of abiding by the
laws made and provided for the collection
of the taxesslevied for the maintenance of
our municipal life 5aHE1
