CHINESE FAIL In
POLITICAL PLANS
TRIED OWN EXPERIMENTS IN
MATTER OVER TWO THOU
SAND YEARS AGO

CHICAGO, April % QPS).-
Two thousand years ago, long be-
fore white men knew this contin-
ent existed, China tried its own
experiments with planned econo-
my and the experiment failed dis
mally despite every effort.
This was revealed here recently
before meeting of the American
Oriental Society by c. Martin
Wilbur, curator of Chinese eth
nology at the Field Museum.
His studies, Mr., Wilbur declar-
ed, revealed that a Chinese Prime
Minister named Wang Mang set
himself up as Emperor in AID. 2
and Immediately started a plan
ned economy program.
Wang Mang's social expert
ments included naturalization
and equal distribution Of land,
Mr.. Wilbur pointed out. 1T in
cluded government monopolies
and the manufacture of salt, wine
and iron; control of mines and
other natural resources.
And like our own Department
of Agriculture, Mr.. Wilbur said,
the Chinese Emperor had his own
program for helping the farmers
IA price cobtrol program under
which the government would
buy excess crops in good years TO
store in government ever nor
mai" granaries for sale in bad
years.
They were doomed to failure.
however. he declared. because
the administration of such vast
enterprises was beyond the tech
meal ability of the bureaucracy.
The program finally collapsed
of its own weight.
Nor are we so modern in other
matters. Mr.. Wilbur points out.

OLD POSTOFFICE

The Key West Custom House
was established in 1922 by special
legislation from the president
Joel Yancy. Glasgow, KY, was
the first collector of customs. A
Mr.. Dawley and Mr.. Samuel
Ayres succeeded him, but Mr.
Ayres resigned and Mr.. Dawley
died, and Key West had a GUS
toms house without a customs in
spector. The first custom house
was a frame building where the
old, red-brick postOffice is now
located. It was finally torn down
to build the massive structure now
known as the Old Postoffice. The
uniqueness of this building is
that it housed the u. S. Customs
House, post Office, and light house
department. 1t is of interesting
architecture, and is located at the
foot of Greene and Front streets,
in front of Monument Square. 1t
rests on a pile foundation and is
constructed of red brick with
massive stone, granite and terra
Gotta trimmings. Arabian circles
and triangles are arranged in the
design of the porch balustrade,
which extends all the way around
the building and in the rear com
mands a view of the Ship Chan
mel and Gulf Stream out to Sand
Key. Below the first floor is a
granite walk, just under the
porch. 1t is reminiscent of the
walks in most of the old forts in
this area and the entire building
probably follows many of the de-
signs of those forts, which can be
traced back to Napoleonic fortifi-
cation design. The present custom
house is located in the new Post
Office building on Simonton
Street.

GIVES REASONS
FOR DIFFICULTY
ON MENTS
RELATIVE TO GENERAL REV
ENUE FUND FROM WHICH
MOST OF STATES BILLS
ARE PAID

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April %
(FNS).-Basing his statements on
the state comptroller's reports,
high state official today pointed
out the four principal reasons
why the general revenue fund
from which the majority of the
states bills are paid is having a
difficult time in paying the claims
and obligations which are charg-
ed against it.
The first reason, he said, is that
payments of taxes on estates of
deceased persons into the general
revenue fund is off more than
100000 as compared with the
collections during the last year of
the Sholtz administration which
had the benefit of the dupont es-
tate windfall.
The second reason is that one
half cent of the one-cent gasoline
tax which went into the general
fund during the Sholtz admins
tration was transferred by the
1897 legislature to the schools.
This transfer deprived the gener-
al fund of more than $1,5l8,000.
The third reason is that the
liquor taxes amounting to $2,879,-
900 which went into the general
fund during the last year of the
Sholtz administration was trans
ferred by the 1887 legislature to
the old-age assistance fund, de-
priving the general revenue fund
of these collections.
And the fourth reason is that
the slot machine license law
which brought more than 1925,
900 into the general revenue fund
during the last year of the Sholtz
administration was repealed by
! the 1887 legislature. depriving the
general fund of the benefit OF
! these collections.
This state official points out
that the four items mentioned
show a total of more than S.
$4,000 which went into the gen
eral fund during the last year OF
the ShOltZ administration but
which have either been trans.
ferred to other purposes or have
been abolished by the Legislature
since Governor Cone went into
office, and sufficiently account:
for the present difficulties ir
j which the general revenue funC
finds itself.

DUKE, DUCHESS

VIEW PROPERTY
MAY ESTABLISH WINTER
RESIDENCE HERE IN FU-
TURE: SEE KEY WEST AS
TOWN WITH GAY SPIRIT

Prominent visitors to the city
this week, who win be remem-
Icred by a great number of per-
sons here, were the Duke and
Duchess of Richelieu, France,
who left Tuesday morning. They
were registered at a local hotel.
hotel.
Purpose of the trip here, they
eaid, was to look over their
properties located at the corner of
Duval and Fleming and at Elem
ing and Grinnell. On both
properties they gave leases while
here. There is no prospect of an
immediate sale Of either Of them,
they said when asked.
The properties were bought in
1925 and only one time since then
have the Duke and Duchess re-
turned to Key West.
They see much improvement in
Key West and a greater future,
principally as a tourist town. So
much are they impressed with the
pleasant, gay and carefree life
which will probably be a part OF
the winters in Key West, that
they may possibly buy perman-
cnt residence here The Duchess
stated that if they had known the
spacious grounds and home
which Mr.. Marks purchased with
in the last year at the northern
end of Flagler Avenue, were for
sale, they would undoubtedly
have bought it.
The Duchess is American born
Their permanent residence is in
New York City and they have
been wintering in Palm Beach.

Editor, The Citizen:
l noted with interest the edi-
torial in your issue of April 10Th,
headed Keep Key West on the
Map.
AS one of many citizens of Flor
ida interested, l am thoroughly
in accord with your idea that the
name Key West" must be linked
with any designation or title Civ
en- TO the Overseas Road.
There is no question in my
mind that regardless of the name
that may be given it, the public
in general will continue to call ii
the Key West Overseas High
way" or the Key West Sea
Road.

ROCKY ROAD

Division street has had a long
and interesting transfer of names.
Before 1861 where it stands now
there was only heavy woods, but
in that year General John M.
Brankan, army commanding Off
Ger, cut a road from the Army
Post on the bay side of the island
to Fort Taylor on the ocean side,
so that his soldiers could have a
direct means of communication
between the two defense units.
The work amounted mostly to
clearing the brust, and the native
white coral was hardly leveled.
The road became SO bumpy that
up to a few years ago it was still
known as the Rocky Road" Lat
ter it was officially changed to
Division street since on one side
the land was pretty well populat-
ed, and on the other there were
few residents. Both names now
have no significance.

MY DIAMOND

My diamond is only hard carbon
Mined from South African earth,
A present to me from Elizabeth
That fact enhances its worth.
Set in a band of white gold
To make the light waves dance,
The cutting was done by a master,
This can be seen at a glance.
Try to reflect in your daily life
The power that comes from above.
Make il shine from each little
facet,
Sparkle with thoughts of love.
A rough diamond lies within you,
The Master cutter cuts the stone;
Acquiring the necessary polish
Must be done by your thoughts
alone
So as you polish each facet
To make il sparkle with luster
fine,
Get your polish from Christ the
Saviour
Be guided by the spark of Divine.

Makes Application For New
Survey Of Waterway Route

Application for new survey of
the intracoastal waterway from
Bahia Honda to Key West has
been sent to Washington by Will
liam w Demeritt, and it IS ex-
pected that the matter will be
introduced at the session Of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress.
The formal application for ac-
ton on this matter was set aside
at the last session of the body,
because of the fact, it is believed,
that a stipulated depth of eight
feet was contained in the APP
plication with no alternative
depth.
This matter is one of the most

needed to facilitate travel of
yachts, as we'll as small CONNER
cial craft, between Miami and
Key West. Those working for the
waterway pointed out that had
the required depth been available
at the beginning of the yachting
season there would have been
many more yachts visiting here
than were recorded.
In the request forwarded by
Mr. Demeritt depth of five feet
is being asked for, or whatever
depth the department thinks
feasible. The request from Key
West will be referred to the u. S.
Engineering Department, and af-
terward for action by the congress
