GREETING THE KING AND, QUEEN

Some Americans are worried about
the "best way" to greet the King and
Queen of Great Britain.
Others, in the national capital, are
concerned because they will not have an
opportunity to gaze into the royal eyes at
the reception that will be rendered the
visitors from the realm beyond the sea.
Well, if any reader of The Citizen
gets chance to appear before royalty we
advise them to treat the King and Queen
just like they would treat the President Of
the United States, or his. wife. In this
country such procedure would seem to
exhibit the respect that comes from accept
ing the visitors as friends.
If the appearance should happen to
be staged in Great Britain then democratic
Americans should not hesitate to conform
to the customs that are followed by SEN
sible British citizens.
Having solved this great problem,
satisfactory to our own minds, we call at
tention to the fact that solutions to per-
picking questions are but part of the
service which this newspaper renders to
its readers. (If you don't take the news
paper regularly, see the subscription Of

FOOD FOR KEY WEST THOUGHT

Much solid food for deep thought and
high grade common sense were contained
in an address delivered by William Y. Lit
tie, state employment service director
here, before the graduates of Key West
High School. It is too bad that more of
the adult population of this city, the men
and women who have it in their power to
lead Key West out of wilderness Of press
ing problems, did not hear the address or
read it in last Saturdays edition of The
Citizen.
You are the potential leaders Of your
community Let me urge you, by all
means, to remain in this community and
take your part in leading our own Key
West into that glorious future which is her
rightful destiny
Having made this appeal, Mr.. Little
went on to state that the loss of so many
native Key Westers in the past drained
the city Of her potential leaders, with the
result that the community is now beset by
many difficulties; that this condition must
be changed and that Opportunities must
be made which will provide suitable en-
ployment for these young people"
Mr. Little believes the future here of
fers many opportunities for community
service, for inspired leadership and for &C
ton toward enabling the city to take care
of itself and her citizens without outside
aid He feels that community is made
great by chose eternal qualities of the
heart, mind and soul which combine to
constitute the character of its citizenry.'
Key West needs an inspired leader
ship. The solution of her many problems
demand strong community service on the
part of our YOUTH our oldsters, our natives
and the newcomers in our midst We
cannot depend forever upon the bounty of
the federal government for the support of
so many of our citizens. We've got to do
something constructive for ourselves.
One of our faults is that for many
years we have been content with things as
they are. Many Of our people, particularly
those who profit under the existing order,
are opposed to change. Like sheep we
have followed false leaders,; for our public
officials, with few exceptions, are mainly
concerned with helping themselves, in
stead of all of us.
The old order under our present Off
Gals has lead us against wall of COM
munity inertia. A new order, a new set Of
unselfish and broadminded leaders are
clearly demanded to lead us back onto the
path of sound thinking and sane and con-
structive activity. The Citizen believes
our present officials, or those opposed to
change, should step aside so that some
new ideas may be introduced here in an eff
fort to restore life in the conduct of our
municipal affairs.

a theater fire in Mexico was fatal to
20 persons, many of them women and
children, and scores were wounded in the
worst holocaust of recent Mexican history.
Now, presumably, preparations will be
made to lessen or eliminate the chances of
a repetition of the catastrophe when this
should have been done before human lives
are lost. The fire department of city is
responsible for the existence of firetraps
which should be eliminated where such
danger exists. This applies not only to
theaters but to every place where people
coneregate in numbers.

The oldest Washingtonians will prob
ably agree that the most enthusiastic per-
sonal welcome they ever witnessed was ac-
corded Charles Lindbergh upon his return
from his famous "hop" to Europe. Now
comes the King and Queen of all the
Britons and the good old National Capital
tears down all the reserves to shout its
biggest welcome. They speak our Ian
guage," they are lovely young couple, :
and ''they are our kind are some of the
alibis of our country, which once hated
Kings and Queens SO intensively that it set
up new kind of radical government. !"
Britain now claims to be a democracy. !"
So. there is wholesome sincerity in the
greetings to the King and Queen-it will
help rub out the memories of 1776. Trans
portation and communication have done
much to make these changes. and to make
far better civilization.

No definite action was reached
concerning the R. c. Perky tax
situation at the special meeting
of the county commissioners held
yesterday afternoon. 1t was de-
cided to defer action until legal
advice is obtained from County
Attorney VIM. H. Malone, who
is now attending the legislature
as senator from this district. Mr..
Perky, whose taxes amounted to
$23, 1928 for 1923. has recently
advanced the county $16,500 for
road construction purposes. TAX
ing for the loan a series of GER
tificates of Indebtedness against
the county, which he shows are
payable on demand, and he asks
that the county accept these pa
pers in payment of the amount
of taxes involved. This would
leave balance of 1922. which
he is ready to pay in cash. The
county tax collector takes the
position that under the law he is
allowed to accept only legal ten
der in payment of taxes. Mr..
Perky has asked the county
commissioners to formulate
plan through which the amount
involved in the papers which he
holds against the county can be
applied in the payment of taxes,
showing that the money he adj
vanced the county has been set
aside for the purpose.
