atop the roadbed after grading and
leveling is finished, under a separ-

will not be started before the
spring of 1889, when weather con-
ditions are more favorable. The
beach road, upon completion next
summer, will have a width of p

GOOD NEWS TO TAXPAYERS

The decision of Secretary Morgenthau
Government is good news to taxpayers
throughout the United States.
Some months ago, the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, charged with collecting
taxes for the Federal Government, estab-
lished a regional office at Los Angeles. 1t
was given authority over tax collections in
Southern California and Arizona. The tax
disputes rate has fallen from 400 to 500
cases year and settlements have been ac-
CELEBRATED. More important, those who
wish to appeal from the rulings of tax col
lection officials have their cases disposed
of closer home and are spared the necessity
of trip to Washington or the employment
of attorneys at the National Capital.
The experience at Los Angeles re-
gional office has led the Secretary to de-
eide to establish eleven regional officers
to adjust disputes on the spot and in the
field without long litigation or costly ex-
peditions to Washington. Each office will
have experts to travel to smaller cities
when disputes arise. Appeals will go to
the regional office and the Washington
Bureau will serve as standard-setting and
supervisory agency.
This effort at decentralization was
based upon the success of the Farm Credit
Administration which installed a deeen-
tralized mechanism. 1t is to be hoped that
the Government will proceed further along
this line az fast as possible

CONTEMPLATING THE GRADUATES

Schools, colleges and universities are
beginning to hold their commencement ex-
ercises throughout the United States, and
before long thousands of graduates will
step from the halls of learning and face
life with all of its problems.
A small percentage of the graduates
of the nations high schools will continue
their studies in college. Some of them will
join the graduates of colleges and univer-
sites in seeking economic success. After
years of training, they are ready to step in
to a busy world, to make their contribution
to its development, and, in return, to ask
for themselves, livelihood. There was a
time when their economic success was more
or less assured by the education they had
received Today, unfortunately, thousands
of them will look in vain for the oppor-
tunity to make their way and to serve So
ciety successfully to themselves and credit
ably to their fellowman.
Quite frankly, we know of no advice
to give to these students who may fail to
find profitable places in the economic step
up of the nation. Congratulations and
sympathy do not take the place of an OPP
portunity to work About the best that we
can do is to hope that conditions will i'm
prove rapidly and that the graduates of
1888 will find reasonable good fortune
within their reach
We trust that the graduates will not
make the mistake of thinking that their
education has been completed. The truth
of the matter is that they are only begin
ming to learn Much that they must under
stand, if they are to succeed in life, can
only be learned through the hard school of
experience. They must recognize that the
intelligence that they have acquired is
only means to a successful and we'll
rounded existence. May they, as the years
pass by, grow older in wisdom and win the
esteem of their fellow men.
The Citizen fully appreciates the
epoch that graduation marks in the life of
men and women. We share with our high
school boys and girls the happiness that
the occasion brings to them We wish
them well in the future and can truthfully
advise them that the world at large is
ready to receive them on their own terms.
The value that human society will put on
their lives depends largely upon the value
which they place upon it themselves

OUR DOG, SPORT


I sit alone by the fireside,
Dream of the days in the past;
My dog is sleeping beside me,
Will remain with me to the last
Then l will not have anyone
Who cares what / may do,
For it seems the world just ended
When the angels came and took
you.
We both remained at your bedside
Long after you passed away.
You smiled the moment you left
us.
He looked at me in dismay.
He seemed to think you were
sleeping
Till the moment of departure
came,
Then l think he saw more than !
did,
He barked when l spoke your
name.
He looked at you so sadly,
Those large brown eyes of his
Were filled to the brim with long
ing
He showed all the affection there
is.
His throat was as tight as an E
string,
No sound could issue from there;
For now he was sorely grieving;
Sunk in depths of despair.
No human being could ever
Express more feeling than he,
For when / am alone in the eve
ming
He puts his head on my knee.
dIe looks in my eyes and asks me
Why doesn't she come back home
He feels you never intended
To leave us here alone.
Some day he too will leave me
But / think he'd rather stay
So we could both pass out togeth-
Err
Be with you again some day.
So, as you look down upon us,
We can see radiant glow:
We know you won't forget us
As we grieve for you here below,
! FRANK c. SCHNEIDER.

TWO FACTORS

Memphis. Tennessee. was recently
awarded the National Grand Prize for
cities i'm the sixth annual national traffic
safety contest, staged by the National
Safety Council.
We call attention To two factors which
may have helped Memphis. First is the
fact that Clifford Davis, Commissioners of
Public Safety. has standing offer Of 500
for anyone who can prove traffic ticket
was fixed. Second Is the fact that each
moor vehicle in the city IS inspected three
times year.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

Leroy Delaney, one of three
negroes who left yesterday in
charge of an officer enroute to the
the state prison camp. broke Jail
in Miami last night and has not
been located up to the time of
going to press, according to re-
ports received from Miami. De-
lancy was given 10 years after
pleading guilty to charge of par
ticipation in the theft of an auto
mobile in Miami and robbing sew
en- places on the Keys. No details
of the escape of the prisoner is
given in the notice sent to Key
West. 1t was understood the
prisoners would be locked up in
the Miami Jail and await the ar
rival of an officer from the state
prison. The others were Ernest
Sauchart, alias Shine, who drew
10 years for breaking and enter
ing and attempted rape, and
Theodore Smith, alleged leader
of the Miami gang, who drew Is
years.

The bitterest political campaign
Key West has ever known will be
brought to a close tonight. To-
morrow some 1000 voters will
journey to the polls in Key West
and decide what it has been
about. There are exactly 81 can

in these races are usually tense,
but little less so than the interest
which has been brought out in
the race for governor. County
officials announce that everything
is ready for the opening of the
