SPERANDEOS ARE TO
BE HERE ON SUNDAY
Famous Italian Lyric Tenor and Wife
to Present Program at Bap-
fist Church

Giovanni Sperandeo, the famous
Italian Lyric Tenor, assisted by his
wife Elsie Sperandeo, pianist and ac-
"ompanist, will present an unusual
type of concert at the First Baptist
church Sunday evening at 1880 o'clock
The Sperandeos have appeared be.
fore hundreds of churches. high
schools colleges and universities of
the leading cities of our country. They
have been received everywhere, with
genuine enthusiasm and praises of
the highest order have been accorded
them. In many cities they have been
called for return engagements again
and again.
The type Of program they present is
absolutely of high merit and stands
out in the world as the only perfor-
nance of it's kind It is varied, pro-
foundry cultural and deeply inspira-
tional. 1t is a performance full of hui
man interests and values. No one,
young or old, should fail to take the
opportunity to hear them
High school principals, Suparinten-
dents, College Presidents, Ministers
and newspaper critics, all unite in
praising very highly the glorious, rich
tender and 'colorful tenor voice of
Signor Sperandeo, and the skillful,
artistic and masterful playing of
Madame Sperandeo. $500
In addition to the musical part of
the program, Signor Sperandeo relates
briefly the story of his life, which is
most thrilling, uplifting, gripping, ten
der and amazing. He ,rarates it in a
style all his ownA dramatically
wildly, absolutely never to be forgot
ten. His personality is radiant, charm
ing and dynamic. What Sperandeo
has achieved in the past twenty-three
years, under certain conditions, is
nothing less than marvellous and a
great challenge to the present genera
ton.
The Sperandeos audiences have
been held spellbound land been deeply
moved and impressed. What they
leave in the hearts and minds of the
people wherever they appear cannot
be easily estimated.

PEOPLES FORUM
AN ERRONEOUS TAX IDEA


Editor, The Citizen: -
In the tax discussion now, go
ing on I see continually repeated
an erroneous idea which, is that
an Individual owning no proper
ty pays no taxes while getting all
the benefits of government. This
is one of the pet arguments used
by the Sales Tax advocates. .
AS matter of fact, the indi-
vidual who owns no property pays
more taxes and gets less for his
money than the property owner.
Merchandise is priced on orig
inal cost, freight and expense of
doing business, +, which includes
taxes. so the purchaser of the
merchandise pays the taxes.
Rents are based on the value
of the property maintenance and
taxes, so the renter pays the tax
es.
All business is done on this
principle.
Governmental service includes
protection to the person and COM
forts and conveniences, which the
individual could not obtain in any
other way and also includes pro-
lection of all kinds to property.
1t is quite evident that the in
dividual who owns no property
gets less service for his taxes
only personal service-while the
property owner gets personal and
property service.
: repeat, the individual who
owns no property, while paying
no direct, taxes, pays indirect
taxes and gets less for his money
than the property owner.
will appreciate anyone com
ing forward asd trying to dis
prove these facts.

KEY WEST AT NAVAL BASE

"Key West not Guantanamo (Cuba)
should be the United States naval base" is
one sentence of an editorial appearing in
the most recent issue of The Times of Cuba
and Par, the Pan-American Review, which
is published in Havana.
With that sentiment The Citizen fully
agrees. Similar agreement would come
from every person in this federally forgot
ten community to any such proposal. And
in this connection let it be stated here and
now that many naval officials and propo-
nents of Pan-American accord and Pan
American unity in the protection of the ma
itions of this hemisphere against political or
military invasion by nations of Europe
ruled by dictators see Key West as strage-
ticaly located in any plan of Pan-Ameri-
can defense.
Par was discussing the results of the
Municipal Congress held in Havana last
month in which some of the delegates ex-
pressed demands for the immediate indie
pendence of Puerto Rico and the removal
OF u. S. forces from the Guantanamo ma
val station in Cuba. The demands were re-
jected, but many Americans attending the
Congress do not believe the United States
needs Guantaha.no in these days of mod
ern aviation and ar open Gulf of Mexico.
Accessible to the Atlantic east of
Key West and to the Pacific through ca
nal across the Isthhius of Tehuantepec
many hundreds of miles north of remote
Pahama, Key West not Guantanamo should
be the u. S. Naval base,' Par continued
8. Granting Puerto Rico statehood or in
dependence and restoring the Danish West
indies, the U. S. navy could then remain
at home in the Gulf with Key West base
-. A real New Deal"
Aside from the question of independ-
ence for Puerto Rico, there is no question
that Key West is the logical location for
real naval base in this section of the world.
This penihsular point controls the entrance
to the Gulf from the Atlantic, so that an
adequate fleet with seaplanes and other
auxiliary arms of the United States navy
operating lgfpfn Key West would afford
,pfotectpn, tBlthe Gulf ports $50 essential in
the naval plan of national defense, and
form base for any operations affecting
the countriesio of Central and South Amer
lea.
! slWfthin the next two weeks flight of
naval seaplanes will arrive here to par
ticipate- in 4maneuvers following the pass
age of the Pacific fleet through, the Pan
ANA canal into Atlantic waters. One of
the detectives, according to Washington
dispatches, of these navy games will be to
determine the suitability of Key West as a
base for planes and possibly other craft in
operations in the Gulf and the Caribbean.
All Key West hopes the United States
navy officers determine what seems obvi-
ous-the stragetic position of Key West at
the gateway to the Gulf.

To American business this is seri-

SELLING FILTHY CANDY

The other day, in an Eastern State, a
small candy manufacturer entered a plea
Of guilty to charge of selling candy that
contained rat hairs, decomposed vegetable
matter, dirt, filth and particles of mouse
49,, The manufacturer was apprehended
BY Federal officials and prosecuted after
he shipped his candy across state lines.
Most of it was in penny goods, designed
for children. As long as he sold his product
within his state, the manufacturer was i'm
mune to Federal prosecution. The in
eident illustrates the necessity for rigid
state laws, providing adequate inspection
of the manufacture of candy and other
food products. Moreover, the law must
have behind it an efficient and capable
