If Key West had the facilities to en-
terrain conventions, it would help greatly
in solving its economic problems. During
the month of November New York city
will be the host of 100 bona fide conven-
tions, excluding meetings of company sales
strictly under the designation of conven-
tons. The number of delegates to these
conventions is expected to run in excess of
1000. Besides these there are other
conventions held in various parts of the
United States. Under the present condi-
tons in Key West it is futile to try and get
any but state conventions.

DISCOURAGE GREED!

There are indications that Key Vests
most dangerous and contemplate foes
are those of her own household.
Having moved Heaven and earth,
with what facilities for moving we pos
sessed, to bring back the Army and Navy
to this community, it appears that some of
our citizens are so COMFORTING themselves
as to give the Army and Navy good reasons
to move Heaven and earth to get away
from Key West and stay away.
And, if the Army and Navy are given
good reason to feel that they can not get a
square deal in Key West, it will be found
that they have considerable influence in
determining just where they shall be sta
toned.
Word comes from a reliable source
that officers stationed here have found in
some cases that rents which had been
quoted to them at fifty dollars per month,
when they were considering Key West as
a desirable station, have suddenly jumped
to one hundred and fifty dollars per
month.
If there is any quicker or more
ignoble way for Key West to commit sui
eide, it has rot yet been discovered. There
may be no legal means to compel decency
on the part of short-sighted owners of
houses; and while they are public enemies
of the most damaging sort, it is hardly
feasible to handle them by direct action,
ioyfully as that would be undertaken by
some otherwise law abiding citizens.
Of one thing they may be sure. While
they can not long succeed in charging
three prices for their rental property, they
can be absolutely certain of success in
lowering the values of all property and
retarding the progress of Key West for
years to come.
It would be fine thing if, in the
regeneration of the city government for
which we all devoutly hope, that there
could be some way found to base tax on
rents SO that the profiteer would not dam
age the city without at least paying some
thing for the privilege.
1t is not the province of The Citizen
to regulate such matters. But, in common
with all citizens who have the interests of
the CITY at Hedrl, Inc OlIlZeH can HlosC
heartily hope that some way may, be
found to discourage the greed of those
who would give the lie to all the assur-
ances of welcome and fair dealing that
have been sent out from this city to the
Army, Navy and Air Forces whose pres
ence here tends so much toward speeding
up the return of the city and its business
interests to healthy financial condition.

congress at the last session institut.

Congress at the last session instituted
a reform that has not received much notice
jand yet is of paramount interest. The bill,
signed by President Roosevelt, means a
complete and salutary enforcement of the
Federal judiciary from control by the Ex-
ecutive branch of the Government, and
creates new administrative office, that of
proctor, who is to be appointed by the
Supreme Court and solely responsible to
it. He will be sort of. liasion officer be-
tween the courts and Congress. In the
original Court bill presented by the Ad-
n1inistratioDa the proctor would have been
directly under the Executive, but Congress
was in the mood to detract rather than
add to the power of the President.

THE ISLAND CITY

THIS COLUMN has fairly au-
thoritative information that a
naval plane hangar and machine
shop will be established at Trum-
DO Island. On Trumbo once was
dirigible hangar and machine
shop. The new plan is expected
to have resulted from the Navy
Departments decision to base a
large group of planes here. 1t is
reported that there has been some
surveying of the property, es-
pecially around the old seaplane
ramp, by officers who have been
sent here.
IF THE HOUSING GROUP
locally does decide to use the
Trumbo Island property for a
housing project, it will mean that
Roy Hamlin, kingfish of local
baseball, will be without a base
ball field. Added to these woes
is the fact that the W.P.A. now
seems well on its. way to building
municipal field on its County
Road property. Hamlin, during
the past five years, has revived
interest in Key West baseball by
active management and in many
cases by actual donations. He has
been the kingfish of local base
ball in the sense that all the ac-
tiyities are centered in him. He
has received little cooperation,
however, for his efforts. Since
he reorganized the league, out-of-
town games are getting to be
quite common, the players all
have uniforms, there is better UNI
piring and there is a fairly nice
grandstand at Trumbo Field. This
column is sure the ball players

in the Senate today when the up
per branch Of Congress began con-

Though Hopkins confirmation

antiAdministration Democrat.
Charges Politics
Senator Bailey Cd of North

Commerce Cmomittee which ap-
proved the Hopkins nomination,
13 to 6, centered his fire on Hop
kins by charging widespread pol
itics in the Federal relief agency
while the Secretary designate was
at its head.
Bailey. who engaged In a near.
fist fight with Hopkins two years
ago, announced he would not vote
on confirmation. or enter into
debate.
However, he placed on the desk
of each Senator a five-page state
ment assailing the former WPA
Administrator for making political
speeches during the 1888 elections
campaign, and for allegedly per
mitting WPA officials to engage
in political coercion"
Questions Choice
Senator Bailey said he would
not interfere with the right Of
President Roosevelt to choose

pointment.

for reasons which need not be
stated here"
