COOGAN GETS A LITTLE

Jackie Coogan, who as juvenile star
of the silent screen, is reported to have
earned millions of dollars, will receive
about $3.50, 900 as result of settlement
of his accounting suit against his mother.
We feel sure that most people will
conclude that this is not much for young
man, who, as a youth, was able to amass
a fortune. That his earnings were legally
those of his parents does not prevent the
attachment of a strong moral claim in be-
half of the young man. Surely, he was
entitled to share substantially in the profits
that his work developed.

shows that these views are mar
row and lose sight of the broad
problem as a whole.
Taxation is a great problem,
not only on account of the i'm
mense amount of money involved
in Florida approximately $780,
900, 000-but, also, because it di-
rectly affects the value of all
property in the state-every bust
ness and profession, and the well
fare of all the people.
Every kind of business profess
sion and industry changes its
methods and policies to meet
changed conditions, and Florida
mas not done this, but has the
same methods it had fifty years
ago.
A state tax and finance COM
mission would study the tax
problem to meet economic chang
es and how to equitable and just
ly crary out the tax laws and
finally bring about economy in
gCvernment-and at the same
time give to the people such gov
ernmental service as a progress
sive people are entitled to. In ad-
dition to all this, the Commission
would publish to the people the
results of its studies and make
recommendations for changes in
the law and thereby help to edu-
cate the people in public affairs.
There can be no question about
the good such commission can
and will do. The legislature
should establish a state tax and
finance commission.

MYSTERIOUS BUT PROFITABLE

Advertising is a mysterious but none
the-less potent force in modern business.
Whether the advertising be done in
the columns of The Citizen or in some
ether medium there is, it seems, an in
definite benefit that flows to the intelligent
user of this modern business developer.
There are business men in Key West
who believe that everybody knows them
and what they have to sell and that, con-
sequently, they do not need to advertise.
1t would seem logical to draw such con-
clusion but the fact remains that people
often lose sight of the obvious and that
repetition is the only way to assure per-
manent supremacy in any field.
Every reader can instantly name pro-
ducts that are known from one end of the
United States to the other A little re-
Election will reveal that every one of them
is well-advertised product and a little
observation will reveal that the advertis-
ing is being continued by the wise men
that operate the business.

ABOUT TAX PROBLEM

Editor, The Citizen:
This is the last of my series of
letters about the tax situation and
/ wish to emphasize some general
points that must not be lost sight
of.
The tax problem in Florida is
purely a business problem-the
same as every business large or
small has to face.
First-Do our tax laws fit into
and conform to the economic life
of the people? Do they furnish
the best protection to property
and foster the constructive indus
tries of the state?
Second-Are they equitable
and justly enforced?
Third-Are the expenses of the
different governmental units
state, counties, cities and munich
palities-properly adjusted as to
income and service rendered?
These questions must be con-
sidered as a whole and are de-
pendent On each other, and the
adjustment of one or two of them
would only partially help the sit
uation. want to emphasize the
fact that the majority of people
view the tax problem not as a
balanced whole, but from one or
more angles, usually their own
special interests. Intelligent peo-
pie and many newspapers con-
tinually say, Everything would
be all right If we had just and
equitable assessment of proper
tyr; or, eff we collected taxes
when assessed; or, IF we reduc-
led expenses. A little thought

BRING CONVENTIONS HERE!

Plans to bring the 1910 convention Of
the Florida State Department of the Am
erican Legion to Key West have been
launched by members of Arthur Sawyer
Post %. missionaries are to be sent
merchants, civic organizations and other
groups and individuals to determine their
attitude toward bringing the state conven-
ton of the Legion to this city.
The convention would attract at least
5000 persons to Key West, it is con-
servatively estimated by Arthur Sawyer
post. 1t is safe to assume the delegates,
their wives and families would spend up
wards of 100000, possibly more, during
the period of the convention. The ex-
penditures would be pretty generally dis
tributed throughout the city. Every line
of business, every roominghouse, hotel and
apartment operator, and scores of persons
employed by them, would benefit to some
extent. Such a distribution would IN
crease the community prosperity at a
time when business usually is slack, for the
the year.
Bringing the convention to Key West
will involve lot of effort on the part of
Arthur Sawyer Post members and the &C
tive and wholehearted cooperation of citi-
zens generally. Arrangements for the
business sessions, decorations, entertain
ment, music and other adjuncts are not
made without wOrk-and some money.
Few Legionnaires are wealthy. They will
need financial assistance to match their
willingness in making the 1910 state con-
vention of the American Legion a sue
cess.
Local Legionnaires are faced with
one problem that money and work cannot
provide-a suitable convention hall. It is
probable they can use the armOry or one
of the lighthouse department buildings
and make satisfactory makeshift arrange
ments for the business sessions of the dele
gates. 1t is just too bad that Key West
has no real convention hall. Such an as
sembly place would be of immense value
in attracting conventions. Some communi-
ties cater to conventions. They make
business of that activity usually through
a convention bureau tied in with the local
Chamber of Commerce. Key West has an
enviable chance to land many conventions,
both state and national. Present avail
able facilities would limit the city's effort
in this direction to state conventions.
The Citizen believes that some effort
should be put forward to procure a suit
able convention hall through the WPA or
one of the other federal spending agencies.
Other cities have acquired such halls at
comparatively little local expense. The
idea is worth further investigation and
concrete action if it is practicable.

realty values, which is bound to

travelling have found spot that
I want to visit a second time.
