CAMPAIGN MULE
JAILED In SPAIN
tBy Associated Pressl

BARCELONA. Spain, April
13.-Precedent was estab-
ished here when a mule was
sentenced to two years in Jail
fer electioneering.
The beast was placed in the
garage of the city lookup
when found wandering about
during the recent electoral
campaign with campain pro-
paganda stenciled in large
white letters on his black
flanks.
A jury gravely convicted
the dumb defendant on
charges of violating an ordin-
ance fcrbidd;ng mobile cleo
pioneering.
Someone suggested that
feeding and housing the pris-
cner might be a problem.
Whereupon the Judge sagely
decided that the general am
nesty decree, which had
freed some $4,000 political
prisoners should be applied to
e. mule and the animal was
given to the Humane Society.

CHAPPELL HEARD
In ADDRESS HERE
SATURDAY NIGHT
DIRECTS CRITICISM AT Gov
ERNOR SHOLTZ; GETZEN.
CANDIDATE FOR TREASUR-
Err, ALSO GAVE TALK

Dan Chappell, candidate for
governor, While addressing the
voters of the city Saturday night,
denounced the chief executives
practice of requiring appointees
to office to sign designations from
the office at the time of appoint
ment.
He criticized in the severest
terms this method of acquiring a
hold on an appOintee which at
the whim Of the governor, can be
made effective without mo-
ment's notice.
Also he does not believe that
removal from office of an official
who is considered unfit should re-
quire long drawn out impeach-
ment proceedings, but that the
officials removal should be put
squarely before the voters, and
let them decide.
He also decried the continual
piling on the shoulders of the
people of the state, increases in
taxation. He does not believe
this should be done without the
consent of the people and this con-
sent should be gained only by
referendum.
Touches On Auto Tax
Touching on the matter Of
automobile licenses the speaker
said that he favored a So tax on
small cars and So tax on large
cars
While Mr.. Chappell's talk was
brief, it was direct and covered
the points Of his address clearly
and cOncisely. While indulging III
no personalities, he made some
pointed and condemnatory re-
marks about the present admins
tration, that left no room for
doubt as to his intentions in the
minds of his hearers.
Using his sound truck with
large amplifiers, the words of the
speaker reached the farthest
edges of the crowd and could be
heard the length of Duval street.
Through the courtesy of the
gubern&torial candidate the sound
appliances were also used by Sam
w. Getzen, candidate for state
treasurer.
Mr.. Getzen said he has the dis
tinctiOn of having introduced
every piece of major school legis-
lation since he became a member
of the legislature 13 years ago.
81 have fought for the improve
ment of the school system and
the increased and prompt pay
ment of salaries to teachers, and
believe in a full school term.
Mentions Insurance Laws
He promises rigid enforcement
of the insurance laws for the
protection of policy holders, and
pointed out that he introduced
and fought for the workmen's
Compensation Law.
Touching on the problems of
the citrus grower he said he was
one of them and as a farmer knew
their problems and should he be
elected to office he promises to
continue the fight for the people
without fear and without favor.
Another speaker was Mrs.
Homer Dickinson president of
the League of Democratic Voters
of Dade county. whose address
was in behalf of Dan ChappelPs
candidacy for governor. and who
presented the idea that Chappell
will be the next governor. and
asked that the voters of Key
West give him their considera-
lion.
Paul Marks, attorney of Miami
and a former Key Wester. first
introduced by County Solicitor
Allan B. Clearc. Jr.. introduced
the several speakers, as president
of the Key West voters residing
in Miami.

President William Green. of the
American Federation OF Labor
was not consulted and MIR. Berry
says the action was taken without
consulting the President. How
ever, it is another evidence OF the
divergent view now held by vari-
Gus leaders of labor and is prob
ably an offshoot of the effort to
transform unions from a craft
basis to a plant or industry basis.

The situation in Pennsylvania,

1t has been apparent for some
time that the sentiment of re-
sponsible Republican leaders IA
vors the nomination of a candi-
date with the greatest strength in
the West with vice-president;al
nominee from the East. More
over, the present idea in the East
is that Governor Landon has dis
tinct edge on the field, and is
showing the greatest strength on
both sides of the Mississippi.
Among the leaders, the idea is
that eastern states will be carried
by the Republicans in November
and that the battle-ground is in the
West and Middle West, with Hi
nois, Ohio, and Indiana debatable
territory, although now favorable
to President Roosevelt.

The recent floods have pro-
duced considerable sentiment in
favor OF large appropriations in
the interest of flood control. The
project will be tied in with the
soil-saving program. The danger,
as everyone familiar with the sub
ject recognizes, is pork barrel
projects" which have cost the
Government untold millions in the
past. Various measures are be-
ing sponsored to accomplish the
end in view and Senator Copeland
of New York insists that all prof.
ects. before being undertaken,
should be surveyed and approved
by competent engineers. Such a
provision is vitality important if
the money expended is to accom-
plish the desired results. One bill
would devote 1915, 100000 to the
Mississippi Valley Authority in
the next five years. At present
apparently, the prospect is in IA
vor of a general measure covering
the entire country.

During the month of March, the
Government collected $173,274,-
40 in excess of expenditures
which amounted to $578,423, 967
for the month. The surplus col
lection for March, 1885, was only
$50.224,265. The explanation lies
in a twenty-three per cent in
crease in income tax collections
and a fifty-four per cent rise in
other internal revenues for the
month. The income tax payments
totalled $412,452,233 for 1886
compared with $326,268,511 in
1885. Other internal revenues
went up to 1921, 218,692 as COM
pared with $188,919,079. The
one gap in revenue was the alb
sence OF processing taxes, in
validated by the Supreme Court,
but which yielded $50 100000 in
March of last year.

Senator Borah continues to Oc-
cupy key place in the political
puzzle. His defeat in New York
was followed by substantial vic
tory in Wisconsin. Every indica-
ton is that the Idahoan intends TO
vigorously press his campaign
against the leadership of his
party to the bitter end and he does
not hesitate to reiterate his inten-
ton to take note of the platform
adopted and candidates selected
at Cleveland before binding HIM
self to support the Party. Borah.
it seems, is destined to play a role
in the Republican drama that will
be strongly reminiscent OF the
parts assumed by William Jen-
nings Bryan in the Democratic
conventions of some years back.
He will hardly be able to control
the delegates but may prove
strong enough to exercise a veto
threat on success unless the party
leaders make terms with him.

Business prospects for the rest

On the Democratic side of the
picture, President Roosevelt, up
on his return to Washington last
week, found little to disturb the
satisfactory outlook left behind
when he departed on his fishing
cruise. The Wisconsin primary
was hailed by his supporters as
evidence that he will win the
Progressive vote in states where
this element is important Mean
while, opposition within his party
has all but disappeared. Certainly,
there is no effective work being
done against him and little evil

Along this line the Tennessee
Valley Authority, undertaking the
development. of a 10000 square
mile area, with 100000 inhabi-
tants, has proposed the construc-
ton of eight additional dams,
which, with the four built or
building, it contends, will provide
a navigable channel $50 miles in
length, reduce flood danger in the
Mississippi and Tennessee river
areas, and produce 100000
horsepower of electricity. The
program, by 1910. would cost
$1S5, 100000, half of which has
already been spent.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-04-13

Considerable interest attaches
to the recent invitation to labor
unions to join non-partisan
league for the immediate purpose
of working to secure the reelec-
ton of President Roosevelt. This
step, which may mark the historic
beginning of a Labor Party, was
initiated by George L. Berry, now
serving without pay as coordina-
tor of industrial cooperation.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-04-13

Other large items. IN the total
are to be $3O0,000,0O0 to farmers
on old contracts under the dis
carded AAA and more than $780,
100000 under the new soil con-
servation program. In addition,
there will be monthly payments
for relief and public works which
will probably greatly exceed one
billion dollars. However, mas
much as these relief and works ex-
penditures have been going on for
some months past, they do not
represent at this time any reason
for future improvement.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-04-13

The outlook is that there will
be a sharply increased demand
for consumer goods and that
business should show continued
improvement which will carry
over into 1887. Farmers will prob
ably be in the market because, in
addition to the payments from the
Government, it is expected that
any price declines will be more
than offset by increased yields.
Some authorities fear credit

but other able economists insist
that the Federal Reserve System
can safely control any threaten
ing initiation.
