ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Whether business executive should
paw much attention to details or leave all
minor matters to subordinates has been
the subject of discussion from time to
time. The late Harvey S. Firestone, one
of the ablest of American executives, once
expressed himself on this question, and his
views are briefly given in the following
paragraphs.
''An executive cannot grandly dismiss
details. Business is made up of details and
| notice that the chief executive who dis
misses them is quite likely to dismiss his
business.
Success is the sum of detail. It
might perhaps be pleasing to imagine
oneself beyond detail and engaged only in
great things, but as have often observed,
if one attends only to great things and lets
the little things pass, the great things be-
come little; that is, the business shrinks.
1T is not possible for an executive to
hold himself aloof from anything. No
business. no matter what its size, can be
called safe until it has been forced to learn
economy and rigidly to measure values of
men and materials 80

SAYS SUPPLY
OF FISH MUST
BE PROTECTED
SUPERVISOR OF cANSERvA-
TON INFORMS COMMITS
SIONERS OF AGRICULTURE
AL DEPARTMENT

MIAMI, Nov. 25 (FNS).-
Every incoming tide brings a
new supply of fish to Florida's
long shoreline, but it is the states
responsibility to protect and build
up this supply against the de-
structive practices of man, the
great predator", r. L. Bowling,
supervisor of conservation, told
commissioners of agriculture
from many states here to attend
their national convention.
I'VE have a demand from the
$4,000 regularly employed fisher
men to conserve this food wealth
and preserve the fishing re-
sources for the future, Bowling
said. These interests will tell
you their business is slipping. In
the past they were unmindful of
this necessary conservation work,
but they are not any longer. We
have big fish dealers any one of
whom produced 10 to Is millions
of pounds of fish in past years
whose production now is cut to
three million pounds annually.
These men appreciate and well
come the work of the conserva-
ton department, he said.
The supervisor of conservation
was invited to address the con-
vention by Nathan Mayo, Florida
commissioner of agriculture. The
visitors learned not only of Flor
ida's important agricultural re-
sources, but also of the vast salt
water wealth, including fishing,
Clustering, shrimping and spong-
ing, and they were told briefly of
the states minerals and the
wealth of natural resources that
underline this rich peninsular
state.
Florida's supply of seafoods is
being drained not only by an in
creasing commerce but also by
hundreds of thousands of pleas
ure fishermen who travel from
all over the world to spend their
leisure months in a state that af-
fords the finest fishing. This
sport fishing is tremendous as
set", Bowling said. Every town
and hamlet in Florida is benefit
ted by these millions of dollars
the tourist spends while here to
60 fishing in our salt waters. This
annual turnover is estimated at
more than twice as much in dol
lars and cents as that represent
ed by the commercial fishing in
tereSts".
The conservation department
has announced that program of
conservation for sports fishing is
under way, and the proposal is
to protect the supply of fish, pre-
vent destructive practices, and
regulate the business so as to in
sure a continued supply and
Florida's tourist attractions will
remain in full bloom for all time
to come.

WATER, HOSPITAL PLANS DELAYED

An exclusive dispatch to The Citizen
from its Washington correspondent yester-
day impaired the disappointing informa-
ton that PWA funds appropriated by the
last Congress under the federal lending
spending program have been exhausted
without inclusion of ALLEGATIONS for Key
Vests water supply system from the main
land and for the city's portion of the cost
of proposed municipal hospital.
That funds amounting to $780, 900
for the pipeline up the keys to Florida City
would not be avaIlable this year was fore
cast in statements some time ago made by
U. S. Claude Pepper at Miami conference
with Key West city officials and aqueduct
commissioners. The junior senator indi-
Gated the only hope for Key West fresh
water supply would be out of funds that
might be returned to PWA by other COM
munities and states which failed to meet
sponsorship requirements. Yesterdays dis
patch from Washington verifies that hope
but the greatest encouragement to Key
West is seen in the fact Florida is some
what under the quota" assigned to it by
PWA on the basis of population and en-
ployment needs.
Regarding the hospital, no one here
ever seriously expected the city would be
given an outright grant of $4,000 for that
purpose out of the funds available this
year. In the first place, the project was
proposed, planned and prepared for SUBJ
mission to PWA right at the deadline when
such projects had to be presented and long
after hundreds of other communities
throughout the nation had submitted their
proposals. Key Vests hospital plans were
at the very bottom of the application deck
"a lamentable fact when it is considered
disqualification is one of our most vital
needs.
All hope for the eventual realization of
these projects should not be abandoned
President Roosevelt has let it become
known that he will ask Congress at the
next session for an additional appropria-
ton for PWA projects and it is hardly
likely, with every state clamoring for an
extension of the program, the request will
not be granted. Many worthy works have
been proposed throughout the nation and
their construction is the surest way of in
surfing employment for the many who will
not be able to find it elsewhere.
Certainly no more worthy projects
than the fresh water supply system and the
hospital for Key West have been presented
the PWA. The federal government has
gone to heavy expense to provide the city
with water and sewage system and it
does not seem reasonable that the same
agency would not bring water supply
here to put in it. disqualification has not
been one of the major activities of PWA,
but if Key Vests case is properly pre-
scented the need for it here should be
obvious.

There were good and sufficient rea
sons why the New Deal was spanked at the
recent general election. Many believed
that it had gone so far that it endangered
Americanism and constitutional demo-
cracy. Furthermore there was the re-

Supreme Court. to the Reorganization bill,
TO the periodical radical attacks made on
business by President Roosevelt. to the
close tie-up between the Administration
and the communistic CLIO, monday

We loved her-tall, dark-haired,

And all her ways, though she
was often late
At parties of our group from

But even so, we all preferred to
wait
Till she had come, before our fun

For she was vital, nothing was
the same
Unless her voice was heard in
every plan,
Nothing was complete till Mary
came.
She loved us-busy all the live
long day
And laughed away our weari-

We knew her strong and brave;
when she was gay,
We Loyalty remember her no less,
For Mary liked to summon all
her glee
To scatter troubles, ours and hers,

KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files Of The Citizen

Operation of the Key West
Marine Railways new 1,500-ton
plant was inaugurated Saturday
when the British Schooner Ar
butus was drawn up the ways.
With the docking of this new
vessel, construction work which
had been under way for the past
several months was brought to a
most successful conclusion, and
what is pronounced one of the
most excellently constructed steel
railways in the South became a
reality. At the company's offices
it was stated that the new rail-
way and modern plant can ham
die almost any vessel plying these
waters, with the exception of
such vessels as the P. and o. fer
ries and the passenger vessels Of
the line. Where in time past YES
sells of any size have been forced
to so to Tampa. Mobile or Hon
duras as would have been the
case with the Arbutus. They can
now be taken care of in the most
efficient and practicable way,
Austin B. DreW of the company
explained. The new railway is
of steel construction and is SIS
feet in length. It rests on foun-
dation of solid pine piling driven
into the solid rock. The cradle is
of steel construction and was
built by the Bethlehem Steel
Company. The outfit will easily
accommodate vessels up to 1870
feet in length and draft up to 16
feet. This extensive modern and
powerful system was made pos
sible by the financial backing of
Colonel Robert Thompson.
Due to the continued illness of
Miss Mollie Parker, the organiza-
ton meeting of the Booster-Good-
fellowship Club, has been post
poned for another week and will
be held next Tuesday instead.
In the meantime details are being
worked out and plans perfected
SO that the organization may be
completed at the next meeting.
The interest in this movement is
city-wide, and much enthusiasm
is being manifested.
Continuation of plant, paint
and cleanup week for another
seven days is meeting with popu-
lar favor throughout the city and
Mayor Curry is being compli-
mented on the success of the first
period of the drive Much has
been accomplished but much yet
remains to be done, and Il feel
confident, said the mayor, that

MAYOR LEACH
FOR SALES TAX
Regarded As Daring Stand But
Offers Drastic Tax Re
auctions as Offset

Mayor George E. Leach of Mimi
Ieapolis opened his campaign for the
governorship this week with a radio
address Monday night in which he
called for putting the state on a
"pay as you go" basis and the cut
ting of the real estate tax load by
means of restricted sales tax and
reduced expenditures.
Leach's sales tax declaration was
regarded in political circles as a
daring thing to do in view of the
supposed unpopularity of such a
levy. Politicians in recent years
have been sidestepping this issue.
However Leach proposes to off
set the opposition by a bold propos-
al for slashing other taxes.
He declared for reduction OF
two cents per gallon on gasoline
and for a 80 per cent reduction in
automobile license fees.
IT pledge myself. If elected
Leach said never to sign a bill
which will increase so much as 9
mill, the taxes of this state" And
he added in the matter of sales
tax he would never be a party tc
Imposing tax on a loaf of bread
or a bottle of milk. Leach cracked
at the leadership Of the Republican
party when he said:
"The party must be returned to
the control of the rank and file OF
its membership, including the wo-
men and the younger Republicans
The Republican panty was repudiat-
ed in 1880 solely because many hon.
est men and women left the party
because they had no confidence in
its leadership.
Asserting that the rights of hon.

ed there is a serious issue confront
ing this state in regard to labor
racketeers. Certain unscrupulous
individuals who by fear and VIC
lence, attempt to bring about a
reign of terror in our state must
be stamped out and honest labor
leaders must be assisted in their
efforts to do so. Minnesota must
not become a battle ground for the
fulfillment Of communistic deires.'
