For the next three years old-age in
surance taxes on the employer and en-
ployee will remain at | per cent each, but
a fly in the ointment for both is that an
other amendment makes retroactive to
January /, 1889, the application of old
age insurance taxes on employees over 65
who have performed any services since
that date. The bareback to this amend
ment will be the replacement of men over
65 by younger men who are naturally
better fitted to hold important positions
than the oidsters.

Convict Pendergast, now serving a
term in the penitentiary for tax evasion,
would have been free man today If he
had allowed Uncle Sam cut on a $780,
900 swag from the Missouri insurance
companies which the big-iowled political
boss-man divided between himself and two
Others. Uncle Sam has no moral bubbles
about taking his cut on ill-gotten gains.
The long-legged bewhiskered gent never
asks how did You get it or where did you
get it: but shave you got it, and fork over

Not for the past 70 years have |

Not for the past 20 years have so
many newspapers been eliminated since
the New Deal went sour two years ago.
Editor and Publisher, the newspaper
trade journal, estimates the number at 80.
These were all major casualties There
were many major operations in the minor
field Most hurtful are the smaller commu-
mites whose little dailies were forced to
retrogress into the weekly field. The va
rious governmental taxes are the cause for
the changes, and unless these are elimi-
mated or at least mitigated many more
casualties in the newspaper field will oc-
cur. Governmental advice to increase adj
vertising and circulation rates to meet the
heavy taxation is suicidal, so the smaller
newspaper win have 70 grin and bear it,
so long as they can. Then face the inevi-
table.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Hsppehinss Here Just Ten years Ago TodsY As Taken
From The Piles Of The Citizen

Key West is to be one of the
five stops to be made by the IA
big bi-motored monoplanes to be
operated on the proposed Co
lumbusIfiavana major airline
schedules, plans for which are
NOW being worked out by. the
Seaboard Airways, Inc, one of
the foremost and most extensive
air transportation concerns in
America. This city will be the
port of entry for travellers over
the line from Cuba to the United
States and would make the stop
in Key West one of the longest
and most important of the line
and would give this city a regular
service Of two planes each way
leach day. All the planes will
have capacity of 20 passengers
and luggage compartment. This
will put Key West more firmly
than ever on the map as an avia-
ton center, it is shown, and the
announcemnt was received as
the biggest news of the day in
this city. 1t is also presumed
that the Pan American Always
will resume operations from their
field here, though nothing defin-
tie has been said nor seems to be
known at the present time.
Notice appears in this issue of
The Citizen, in which announce
ment is made that the special
school tax election announced for
September 81, will be held Sep
tenber % instead. The election
has been called for the purpose
of electing trustees and voting on
the millage to be levied for school
purposes in Monroe county. 1t is
stated there will be three polling
lplaces in the city and two on the
Keys in connection with this cleo
ton and in all probability the
polling places on the Keys will
be at Matecumbe and Rock Har-
Dor, though nothing definite has
been decided on as yet. George
Brooks, attorney for the school
board, states that he will make a
special trip to the Keys prior to
THE election to instruct voters
how to cast their ballots.
