ALERT INDEPENDENTS SUCCEED

Independent retailers in Key West,
have been, to some, extent, worried by the
amazing progress of the chain store idea
In many sections of the country the
fight against chain store methods has
savoled OF the boycott, and, at times, de-
sends to SenSelesS antagonism. We have
said before, and We repeat, that no in
dependent, who is on his toes, progressive
alert and business-like need fear that a
chain store will take his business. He has
advantages that the chain cannot equal.
1t is different with the stores operated
by incompetents, who have Jagged behind
the modern tendencies of merchandising
The chain stores are not run by super
men. but you can bet that incompetentS are
not directing their policies or doing their
thinking. They will. very probably put out
of business the merchant who has failed to
learn his business. who refuses to CO.
operate with others in his line, and the man
who thinks that the public owes him bust
ness whether he is efficient or not.
Fortunately. there are not many in
competent business men in Key West. The
independents in this section are usually
operated by level-headed business men,
who will be able to organize themselves
effectively and secure for themselves all
the advantages that can be secured by any
chain.

making impossible promises. The
crowd doesn't think. doesn't reason.
doesn't investigate. He can't be
wrong because he is always for the
people" All who oppose him are de-
clared to be lined up with the inter
ests and against the people.
1t is the very limited mentality of
the crowd that makes the indirect tax
ever used by any government against
industrial and social progress The in
direct tax is not new discovery. but
up to a few years ago il was kept i'm
narrow limits. The possibilities of the
indirect tax as great exploiting. de-
structiVe political force in a democ-
racy are of very recent discovery.
The effectiveness of this new weapon
IS in the fact that a tax may be COM
pletely hidden from the taxpayer If
It is made indirect If the tax is added
TO the price of the things that the
average man buys he is incapable of
recognizing it as tax Il is ALWAYS
unpopular to increase direct taxes.
But indirect taxes are popular. The
crowd will vote for almost any thing
to increase indirect taxes. because
the average person is under a hallu-
cination that somebody else will pay
it This newly discovered mental linn
itation gives politicians in charge of
the government almost unlimited
powers to spend and waste. and gain
in popularity because they pile up
great tax burdens on thespeople.
The processing tax on the necessi-
ties of life is striking example of the
political possibilities of the indirect
tax. Perhaps. no politician. in the past
ever dreamed that anything like the
processing tax could be put over on
the people and made popular But it
was put over as one of the chief poll
cies of the administration. and would
be in full operation today if it had not
been stopped by the Supreme Court.
Comparatively few consumers.
perhaps. ever knew what the process
ing tax was "all about. "@But they
paid it-and as rule. perhaps. didn't
even know that they were paying a
tax, and asked no questions.
In order to understand the nature
and purpose Of this most remarkable
tax. we may listen to a conversation
. tween a clerk in a grocery store.

after the processing tax went into
effect.
Customer: 1 want a four pound
pork roast. What is the price?
Clerk. Fifteen cents a pound
Customer: | paid only 1919 cents
pound last week
Clerk. But that was before the
processing tax went into effect The
government collects practically 2Ia
cents on every pound of pork now. as
processing tax. and you must pay
this tax
Customer: What is processing
tax?
Clerk: The government thinks that
you and all other consumers ought TO
pay a whole lot more for your food
and clothing than you are now pay
ing The purpose Of this processing
tax you are required TO pay is to raise
large fund to be used in rewarding
farmers and farm corporations for
destroying food and clothing material
in order that food and clothing NAV
became scarce and sell al higher
prices.
Customer: This sounds strange 10
me. Just give me three pounds We
must eat less.
Customer: "a month later Well.
has pork come down any?
Clerk: Come down. I should say
not You know the government took
the processing tax you have been
paying and paid il TO the hog raisers
10 kill between FIVE and six million
pigs and shoats weighing up TO sixty
pounds each. and convert them into
fertilizer and soap grease. If these
shoatS had grown up and been put on
the market they would have added
about q million pounds Of pork 10
the meat supply. The government
saw this. and had them destroyed in
order TO save the millions of poor
consumers from the great hardship Of
getting their meat cheap The result
of this great destruction Of food was
to raise pork from 1872 cents pound
TO IS cents a pound 1t is wonderful
isn't it?
Customer: DO you mean 10 tell me
that a civilized government has
adopted the policy of taxing millions
of poor consumers of meat in order
to raise a fund to reward the pro-
ducers for destroying food and cloth
ing material so that the consumers
will have to pay more for their food
and clothing?
Clerk: No. didn't say that a civil
lied government would do this or
anything like it. / simply say. that
is what your government has done.
Three hundred producers of meat
and bread and clothing material were
paid S38.000.000. from the taxes. as
sessed on consumers to reward them
for not producing in order that con-
sumers might be forced to pay more
for their food and clothing.
Under the processing tax the poor
are forced to buy the material and
build the scaffold on which they are
TO be executed. 1t is a pity that the
Supreme Court deprived the millions
of poor consumers in this country Of
the luxury of paying powerful farm
ing corporations for the privilege Of
paying higher prices for their food
and clothing.

WHO WANTS TO POLICE THE WORLD?

On dull days in many newspaper Of
fees the staff writer's mop on the past
when the present fails to produce some
thing 'hot"
Such an expert recently called atten-
ton to the assassination of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, of Austria, some
twenty-five years ago and remarked that
hi; epltaph is written in 8,538,315 white
crosses that mark the graves of the World
War dead
Of course, few people believe that the
killing of the Austrian noble was the cause
OF the war although it was the act which
precipitated a conflict for which Europe,
as a whole, had prepared for some years.
The condition abroad today is some
what the same. Every great nation is
feverishy arming itself and preparing for
a war that people and statesmen insist
they abhor Nevertheless, the military
forces of all nations are being strengthen
ed and only saps think that it is being un-
dertaken for a game of friendly ping pong
The habit spreads and one also finds
this country and Japan, along with Soviet
Russia, putting great stress in military and
naval plans. Sensible people regret the
facts but are unable to do much about the
matter, except to hope that peace, in
mysterious fashion, will be maintained.
Other more excitable brothers and sisters
crate profuSely and pass resolutions con-
demning war and even the nations them
selves have UNDERWATER a treaty outlaw
ing war as an instrument of national
policy.
Certainly it will be foolish if mankind
engages in another great war but it is just
as foolish to ignore the signs that point to-
prevent disaster? The answer is not clear
but unless nations are willing to cooperate
with other nations there IS no way. SO
long as any people thinks its safety lies in
complete ISOLATION and other nations fol
low that lead, there will be no solution, ex-
cept one, which we will discuss.
If three or four of the more powerful
nations get together, make up their minds
how they will run the world, and build up
the power to make their conclusions effec-
tive, there will be world peace. If the
United States and Great Britain, for ex-
ample, build enormous fleets, able to whip
any other combination of powers, then the
United States and Great Britain can guar
antee world peace.
We do not advocate such course for
the world. We would prefer to see the
nations get together on a basis of justice
to all and live peaceably. However, if they
cannot reach any agreement to this end,
and they seem unable to do So then we
prefer that some group of nations, with
ample power, take over the job Of policing
the world, and thus prevent another world
war
