are not fully aware of participating
in the wholly one-sided game in
which the government is now the
chief beneficiary. Neither are they
conscious of the hazards.
Basically, there is some resemblance
between what the government is do
ing and slot-machine games of the
"put and try to take" variety The
fundamental rules. however, have
been copied from the pages of history
as far back as the Fourth Century
B. c. -
Seemingly. the object of the game
is to keep depositors putting" their
funds into banks, while the Treasury
Department does its utmost to take
as much of the earning and purchas-
ing power thereof as is possible.
Apparently. the skill lies in the De-
partment's ability to drain off large
sums without either attracting the
attention of depositors to their own
impoverishment, or without reducing
their passbook balances.
Germany. Russia. and some of the
other European countries tried their
hands at the same game after the
World War. but. foolishly. used paper
currency from the start. and so gave
themselves away too quickly.
Playing the game the American
way. the government has so far
gained control of the Federal reserve
banks. And. by furnishing financial
assistance to certain banks, it has be-
come the virtual manager of about
5000 of them.
Besides, the Treasury has become
the principal customer of all banks
To them it sells government bonds or
its own terms. maintaining the mar.
ket prices thereof artificially. In SUBJ
stance it receives the banks credit.

KEY WEST REFORMS
miami Herald)

miami Herald)
The people of Monroe county are making
very simple request of the people of Florida next
month. They are asking that the voters ratify an
amendment to the state constitution to permit
them to have less and perhaps cheaper govern
nlent.
Under this amendment, if adopted, the pres
ent city of Key West and county of Monroe may
be aboliJhed by the legislature, and a single cor
porate body created to govern Key West and the
keys. 1t will lose none of its rights nor none of
the essential officers. Instead of having two or
three officials fighting to perform the same serv-
ice for citizen, there will be only one.
1t is SO simple that people elsewhere may well
ask: "Why cannot we have these good things?
Why must we devote so much of our time to
working for money to pay officials we don't
heed?"
The answer is obvious. Officials elsewhere
are in control of the machinery by which such
changes might be effected The people are like
diIorganized army flinging its arms this way and
that. The officials are entrenched, secure.
The principal reason this question can be
submitted for Key West is that on July 2. 1884,
the city and county officials there were faced
with governmental starvation and appealed to
Governor Sholtz to take the city, county and
school board responsibilities off their hands, The
Florida Emergency Relief Administration then
moved in and for nearly two years virtually fed
and clothed the needy of Monroe county: Of late
with federal approval of loan to build bridges to
connect Key West with the mainland, it appears
that better times at hand, but the idea of
economy remains firmly rooted. ,..e<fS
jacksonville and Duval county in 1934rgoted
on proposed merger ofegovernments but AtIie
forces of the organized politicians were strong
enough to defeat it. different situation con-
fronts the voters of Monroe county, and we be-
lieve, if given the chance. they will approve one
set of officials in place of three.
Who knows but what other counties in Flor
ida may be galvanized into such action if Key
West makes success? There is little reason ex-
cept public inertia why governmental forms which
were made necessary by the times of 1885 should
still control the F1oridians of 1886. Perhaps Key
West, from being well-nigh hopeless will become
the fOuntain-head of reforms which nearly every
one would welcome, but no seems able to
initiate.

Most merchants of Key West are
over-confident in extending credit, often
to their sorrow. They will read with in
terest that on the window of store build

bears the laconic legend: 1--WE trust the
people" To further the interest, it may
be added that the building is empty, the
owner of the store having gone broke long

Raleigh, Nov. British confetti
which was a part of the initiation of
State College freshmen into Keramos,
the Ceramics fraternity there, spoil
ed the "schnozzle" of one of the
pledges last week, it was learned to-
day. The result is that E. H. Sayer,
of Tryon, is this week nursing a rath-
er painful and battered probiscus
which was the immediate portion of
his physiognomy with which the
brick came in contact. For in plain
English, Sayer's nose was broken by
a brick.
1t all happened as result of part
of the initiation ritual which required
that each of the pledges to Keramos
carry a brick with him every where
he went for an entire Week-to class
es, to meals, on dates. to picture
shows-since a brick is perhaps the
best known product of the ceramic
engineers art-Or science. So the
freshman pledges to Keramos, which
may be the Greek word for bricks, if
the Greeks had a word for it, logged
their bricks around with them re-
ligiously, including young Sayer. q.
So one evening Sayer forgot and
left his brick in his room. So he call
ed to his room mate to throw the
brick down to him, J, who obligingly
complied. But in heaving the chunk
of Irish confetti from the window. he
evidently put too much English" on
it or something. For instead of drop
ping into Savers hands, it hit him
in the face, knocking him out and
his nose in and alSotcut a cash over
one eye. He was picked up few min
utes later by two passing students
and taken to the infirmary. Sayer is
now recovering nicely, but he has no
immediate desire to look another
brick in the face

Nov. 3, 1718-John Montagu was
born in London, the future Earl of
Sandwich whose contribution to eat
ing is forever identified with his
name-the sandwich. To a lackey
who came to announce dinner, at a
critical point in a game of cards, the
fourth Earl of Sandwich replied that
he would not come to the table, but
desired a slice of cold beef spread
with mustard to be placed between
two slices of bread, and served to
him at the game table. Dinner Earl
of Sandwich style got to be a by
word in London. In so casual man.
ner was a popular way of eating
named. u 4
The Earl, who was Lord of the Ad-
miralty during the American revolu-
ton, was too occupied with his gam
ing both to eat formally or to see
that Lords Howe and CORVALLIS were
receiving proper naval support for
their campaigns in America. Conse-
quently the French fleet were enabled
to cut off CORVALLIS from support
from Howe and to prevent his escape
by water from Yorktown, thus fore
ing him to surrender to Washington
So we have double reason to be thank
full to the fourth Earl

To the Editor:
Gentlemen these days wrangling
about their parties; but what does
any of their parties net them? Moth
ing, but wrangling! The real party
for any Gentleman to belong to, es-
pecially farmer, is The Progressive
Party.
To: the farmers of the world: What
does the Progressive party stand for?
1T stands for better roads by your
door, it stands for better schools for
your, children, it stands for better
equipment by which to work your
farms with, it stands for higher prices
for your products, and it endorses
highly what "The Carolina Power and
Light Company" is trying to do for
you aow, namely: to light your homes
and it also stands for every modern
convenience, by which to tighten your
burdens, so you can exc out a more
humane" livelihood. This is in The
Bible: They beat up their swords
into plow-shares"
Mr.. Robert LaFollette, ST., is the
founder of The Progressive party in
America, and his son, Robert LaFol-

opportunity through our local paper,
The Dispatch, to thank each indivi-
dual and every club who and which
put himself, herself and itself behind
the fair and helped it to be success
fully carried out this year. Our col
ored hackers credited themselves
with distinct honor by their generous
support. The interest and efforts on
the part of our write friends, espe-
cially the eofficers of the Golden Belt
Fair expressed in Mr.. Hight, the un-
firing secretary, are of such value
that we could not operate without
them. To one and all we are very
grateful.
The exhibits showed commendable
improvement over past years. They
prove that the fair is in many ways
serving the purpose for which it is
intended-community pride and en-
|;terprise. We saw new ideas worked
out in many designs by the heads
and hands of our exhibitors. They
are to be considered and praised.
Next year must be an improvement
on this year. We can make this pos
sible by starting now our exhibit
plans for next year. We want all in
dustrious hands to begin at once on
something not only to please the
judges and win first or second prize;
but something that will carry out the
wise advice of one of our former
gOVeruorS-"living in North Carolina"
and also to make our community a
more desirable place in which to live.
We stand behind not only the things
listed in the premium book, but we
are ready to encourage in any way
where we are capable to do So We
invite you to bring your ideas and
ideals to US, and let us work them
out together.
