GIVES ESTIMATE
OF BUSINESS in
TOURIST TRAVEL
SHOWN THAT OVER ELEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS WILL
BE SPENT IN FLORIDA IN
WINTER SEASON
Especial 10 The CITIZEN

TALLAHASSEE. Nov. 1.-THE
Florida tourist of 1899 will
spend approximately 26 cents of
each dollar in his vacation pock-
etbook for amusements and rec
reation. Hotel Commissioner w.
M. Taylor predicted today after a
study of statistics compiled on
tourist expenditures indicated a
minimum income TO Florida bust
nesses of $ll,25O,000 for the sea-
son.
Il have previously gagged the
winter tourist population of Flor
ida at 2,250,000 for 1938-'39, max
ing my estimate as conservative
as possible and only after care
full check of all available informa-
ton, Commissioner Taylor said
Nov l find that $500 a day
will be an equally conservative
estimate of the average expendi-
ture of each of those winter visi-
tors, with Florida benefitting to
the extent of approximately SILL
100000 for the season. This
sum, it must be pointed out, is
an absolute minimum, but it has
been my experience that it is al
ways best to deal with minimums
in figuring tourist trade.
Commissioner Taylor's statis-
tics as to tourist spending, he
said, indicated that in addition %
the winter visitors spending 26
cents of each dollar for amuse-
ment and recreation, he will
spend, on the average, 20 cents
of the dollar for living quarters
and lodging. % cents for food, le
cents for transportation and trav-
ell and eight cents for clothing,
personal equipment, laundry and
similar expenditures within the
state.
Using the $500 a day figure
as the probable minimum expen-
diture for the average tourist,
my checkup of various agencies
over the state shows that the
tourist will spend $1.00 each day
for lodging or living quarters, 90
cents for transportation. $I40 for
food daily. $l.30 daily for his
amusements and recreation. and
40 cents for clothing, laundry and
other miscellaneous expense,
Commissioner Taylor said.

ures is that our hotel, apartment

WISDOM

The most important job our an
cestOrs had to tackle in this coun-
try was building. First they built
log cabins, then houses and roads
and blacksmith shops. They spread
themselves across the continent,
building farther and faster as
time went On-railrOads and coal
mines, waterwOrks and skyscra-
pers, oil wells and factories. That
was big job.
In order to build, our ancestors
had to save money. Savings were
invested, the money was paid to
wOrkmen who had no time to pro-
duce food and clothes, because
they were busy driving spikes or
mixing concrete. BY saving and
investing, the American people set
aside part of their labor power to
be used for building instead of
using all Of it to make goods and
services for their own enjoyment.
That was thrift. Benjamin Frank
lin taught the Americans that
thrift was virtue. He was right.
Thrift also built our ancestors
personal security and that of their
wives and children. We cannot
give up thrift until we can see
some other way of making our
selves reasonably safe against the
vicissitudes Of life.
David Cushman Coyle.

LOW-WAGE WORKERS HIT BY CHRONIC
DISEASES

The terrific toll levied by chronic diseases on
workers compelled to live on the indecently low
wages imposed upon them by employers was viv-
idly pictured by the United States Health Service
in report summarizing the figures of the national
health survey covering data the health of near
ly 100000 persons in the gainfully employed
population.
Pointing out that on the average more than
one out of every six persons in the United States
suffer from chronic diseases or from serious de-
fects in vision and hearing, the report declared
that chronic diseases alone result annually in the
loss of over one billion days of work or play.
Three -fourths of the invalids were less than 65
years of age. Rheumatism was the most prevalent
chronic disease. The most deaths were caused by
heart disease Cancer and other tumors caused
the largest number of days lost from work.
Turning to the greater freedom from disease
enjoyed by those with incomes large enough to
purchase adequate living standards and medical at
tention and the vctimization Of those unable to
buy these requirements of health, the survey said
Disease and invaidsm are particularly great
among families of marginal incomes. Frequency
rate of chronic illness in relief families was 81
per cent above the rate for families in the upper
income classifications."

One of the stock arguments
against efforts of the government
to improve economic conditions is:
"YOu can't make water run up
hill" When the first inventor
started working on a pump, the
ancestor of the <pre5ent day econ
Omic expert came around to tell
him, "YOu can't make water run
up hill" If the inventor had listen
ed to that sage advice, there would
have been no pump.
Water can be made to run up
hill. The government by taxation,
supervision of money and credit
conditions, and judiciOus spending,
draws money from stagnant pools
and makes it run up hill into the
springs that feed the fresh clear
streams of business, industry and
economic prosperity. "Priming the
pump" is nothing new; we have
been doing it ever since we in
vented modern banking and cur
rency mediums. The question is:
How far have we gone and how
far will we eventually 60?

NATIONAL LAW NEEDED

The evidence accumulates pointing to the nee(
for Federal unemployment compensation law
Each of the fortyeight states, the District of Co
lumbia, Alaska and Hawaii have different unem
ployment compensation laws with varying stand
ards so that workers following work from stat
to state, or business spread over several states
must be familiar with the varying standards af
fecting them.
For example, bricklayer gets three months
work on building in Pittsburgh, followed by fou1
months in st. Louis, and three more months II
Nashville. This worker accumulates credits fol
unemployment compensation in three states, his
rights are described in three separate laws, anc
benefits are collected in these three states. This
places an impossible burden on such workers-fol
workers cannot afford travel expense
Thirty-six states have agreed to plan where
by one state will pay the bricklayer not only the
benefits accruing to him in Pennsylvania Gf his
home is there) but those acquired in Missouri and
Tennessee.
While this interstate agreement provides col
lecting service for the migratory worker, it does
nothing toward providing uniform rights and
standards for all the workers. For example, the
employees of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, al
though all have the same employer, acquire unem-
ployment compensation in the states in which they
are employed. AS the injustice of different rates
and provisions is especially apparent in this in
dustry, railroad employees asked for national law
covering their industry. Railroad employees are
excluded from the state unemployment compen-
sation law in Alabama and Wisconsin. A measure
to set up a separate unemployment compensation
system for the railroad industry passed Congress
of 4l,c fo
dustrial provisions are not new although not gen.
aral. England made special provisions for the
banking and insurance industry, and Germany for
seamen.
Again rejecting trends in thinking on unen-
olOyment compensation, the railway bill proposes
premium payments by employees of 3 per cent on
all compensation up to $4,000, and equal contri-
)uton by the representatives of the employers.
Benefits payable at daily rate for various in
come groups-for example, $1.75 daily on incomes
between $3.50 and $19990, and $3.50 on incomes
between $3.50 and $1,O24.99.
In addition to the flat rate of compensation by
ncome classificatlons, the proposal to give the
Railway Retirement Board the administration of
compensation also looks toward ad-
illustrative economy and efficiency. Social Sc
,urity involves coordinated provisions against
economic hazards, the administration of any part
