IT'S UP TO YOU

There has been great deal of cam
Germ over the safety. of about a hundred
and fifty American citizens in Madrid.
The fear was felt that in the event of a
battle between rebels and loyalists in the
city some of these Americans would be
killed or injured.
1t is natural and proper that the pub
lie interest be aroused by such situation
But it is rather strange anomaly that the
public is vitality interested in the safety Of
a handful of people-and pays little at
tention to the massacre of thousands of
others.
The reference is to our automobile
death toll. 1t takes less than two days for
auto accidents to account for a greater
number of lives than those hazarded in
Madrid. Last years death record was
around the $4,000 mark-this year it may
be even higher. If that many people were
killed in some cataclysm the whole world
would be aghast, and the event would be-
come grim page in history. But because
our automobile victims are killed few at
a time throughout the days of the year,
and in widely separated areas, the aver
age citizen gives almost no thought to the
needless carnage.
No problem more vitality affects us all
than the automobile accident problem
And none is more completely within the
control of the people. Every individual
can drive safely if he only wills it-and
the force of public opinion unified and ag-
gressive, could make the highways a very
uncomfortable place for the reckless.
Think of the horror with which you re-
gard a revolution that kills few hundred
or few thousand persons-and then ask
yourself if it isn't your duty to help reduce
our grisly accident toll

who have been persuaded to join the
new third party were being taken
on an economic snipe hunt Accord
ing to some of the charges and dis
closures, their nickels. dimes and
quarters have not always been used
strictly to promote the curious
cause toward which they were given.
This, however. is only minor cpl
sode. preliminary snipe-hunting
foray. by comparison with the main
expedition on which they are now
launched. When one puts side by side
the main elements in the third party
program. it becomes apparent that
the credulous old folks are being
planted in a cold and lonely spot to
hold the bag So much has been evil
dent. of course. since the beginning
of the revolving pension movement
but there is great difference be-
tween q scheme for grabbing the
pennies of the aged poor and por-
tentous third party movement One
is on a petty scale. the other is on
grand scale.
1t is unnecessary to puncture again
the idea of liberal old age pension
This has been done 50 often and so
thoroughly that the notion of its teas
Utility is accepted only by the old
folks who continue to hand over their
nickels and dimes to the management.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-09-09

But supposing that II were possible.
by some wild stretch Of the imagina-
ton, to provide every one over IS
years Of age with the kind Of exis-
tence that is suggested by pension
of 5000 q month, there Is only one
way by which 1t could be accom-
plished.
This is by an enormous increase In
the volume of production. There must
be such an expansion of the stream Of
consumable goods as will enable the
aged pensioners to dip into 1t for their
own maintenance without diminish
ing the quantity Of such goods avail.
able for the decent support of the
young and the middle-aged.
But increased production will be
rendered impossible IL another main
plank of the third party platform is
carried into effect This Is the share
the-wealth idea. It aims to restrict in
comes. which means the destruction,
in very large part, of the source of
capital accumulation. Since capital
is essential to large volume of pro-
duction. the depletion OF the nations
capital supply will result in decreas-
ing the output of consumable goods
AS this happens, the standard Of iv-
ing for all. whether young or old. win
be lowered.
Therefore, If the third party has fits
way. we shall all be very much worse
off eventually. With a greatly dimin-
ished stream of consumable goods. we
might as well promise the old people
$4,000 or $2.000.000 q month, instead
of 5000. The monetary unit is simply
a counter It's command over goods
depends both on the quantity Of goods
and on the number of counters. When
we diminish greatly the supply Of
goods. the increase OF the currency
simply intensifies the struggle h get
goods. During the German imitation
taxi ride cost one million marks and
a pound of butter cost hundred mil
lion. What good will $500 month do.
if we destroy the means of producing
goods to a point at which II would
require $1,000 for a good breakfast?
The old folks are being taken on an
economic and political snipe hunt.
but the outcome for them. will be
bitter tragedy. and not something to
be laughed off next day.

If we look back into history we will

true: political organisms have never
