WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF WAR

The American Institute of Public
Opinion, which very successfully pre-
dicted the outcome of national elections,
makes a business of finding out what the
people of the United States think about
various public questions.
Recently, it reported a growing Am
erican apprehension of a new European
war and significantly that ninty-four per
cent of our people placed the blame for
such conflict upon Germany or Italy, or
both and only six per cent named other
nations.
This reveals quite a change from
August, 1887, when more than half of the
voters thought Germany or Italy would
start the next world war, but substantial
number thought Russia, Japan. or some
other country would be responsible.
Whereas year and hall. ago, be-
fore Germany's absorption of Austria,
only sixteen per cent of our people ex-
pected major war within twelve months,
today forty-four per cent of the voters ex-
pect conflict to begin in 1889. Another
significant shift in public opinion is found
in the figures showing that fifty-seven
per cent of our people believe that the
United States will be drawn into a war
between Great Britain and France on one
side and Germany and Italy on the other.
4 few months ago, only forty-three per
cent of the voters expressed such an
opinion.

e In Wednesdays Citizen the statement
was made that some day Key West and

: so hot that the North Pole and the South
POLE were the only comfortable places at

EE.grees to be absorbed, but we calculated the

CITY NEEDS ADVERTISING

During the first two months of 1889,
many thousands of tourists have reached
Key West from the mainland via Overseas
highway and steamships. The total is be-
lieved to have exceeded the number of any
previous comparable period in the citys
history. After their arrival in Key West
our visitors spent an estimated $780, 900,
according to the Florida State Hotel Com
mission.
This money was pretty widely spread
among our citizens. Many of them en-
joyed their greatest prosperity in years.
Others have had steady private employ
ment at fair wages because it takes plenty
of labor to supply thousands of visitors
with hotel rooms, lodgings, gasoline, oil,
repairs, amusements, recreation, food,
laundry, curios, clothing, drugs, boats, bait
and a host of other supplies and services.
What brought these thousands of
visitors to Key West? Climate unmatched
anywhere else in the United States was
one reason. Many motorists came just for
the ride over the highway. Others came
to look Key West over with view Of do
ing business here or for the purposeSof es-
tablishing a home. Not few came to
sample our atmosphere, large number to
fish our teeming and fecund waters.
Will the rate Of tourist influx long
continue? This is the question being ask
ed by many Key Westers and prospective
investors. The answer to that question
seems to be "yes"-provided Key West
ard Monroe County do something to keep
the nation and the world interested in this
area. How can Key West continue to at
tract attention, to make tourists want to
come here?
By proper advertising and sound pub
licity is the simple answer to that peril
nent question. AS The Citizen has pointed
out repeatedly in recent months the days
of free publicity for Key West are drawing
to a close This community has got to do
something for itself. There is more truth
than poetry in the old truism that "God
helps those who help themselves" If you
don't tell people about the climate here
they won't know it is here.
At the present time the Chamber of
Commerce has on hand a very limited
supply of booklets and other publicity
matter to furnish only those requesting in
formation about the city and its environs.
The very businessmen and business inter-
ests which have enjoyed the greatest pros
perity from the thousands of visitors week
ly reaching this island have neglected to
include any item of expense for advertis-
ing the city in their budgets. By pooling
substantial number of small contributions
from the business interests the Chamber
of Commerce would be able to do better
job in advertising and publicizing Key
West
The Citizen believes such a pool
should be built up as quickly as possible,
so that a constant flow of attention-at-
tracing advertising matter may be set in
motion. Booklets sent out this spring and
summer will bring visitors here next win

Tn Lowell bus line and the
Lowell speed boat service over the
40-mile ferry gap are apparently
furnishing delightful service and
have created a popular means of
transportation between Key West
and Miami. The magnificent
Lowell line buses are seen to
leave the city daily loaded almost
enthusiastic over the thrilling
and scenic trip. A. B. Howe fur
nished The Citizen with an ex-
cellent story on the Inauguration
of the Lowell lines and their
speedboat service some time ago,
and still writes Interestingly from
his hotel in Miami to friends
here of his sensations experience
ed during his trip. Mr.. Lowell,
it is understood, is so well pleas
ed with the success of the line
that he is now contemplating the
extension of the service beyond
Mani. With special type OBJ
servaton REQ bus equipped with
Individual chairs, luxurious up
holstery and an all-Steel body,
specially designed shock absorb
ers and deep cushions to insure
the safety and comfort of passen-
bers, the Lowell bus line is carry
ing an increasing number of pas
sengers each day. The increased
travel is attributed in part by j.
F. Lowell, owner of the lines, to
the fact that he. recently purchas-
ed and put in service, a fast pas
senger speedboat called the Pilot
Boy, for taking passengers across
the 40-mile stretch between Low
er Matecumbe and No Name Key,
thereby effecting a saving OF
about three hours as compared to
the travel speed of the regular
boats. The water trip is now
made in two hours and the pas
sengers are entertained during
the trip.

THE PERISCOPE
BY HOWARD w. HARTLEY
Staff Correspondent
Florida News Service
UP TO GOVERNOR CONE
CHAIN STORES WORRIED
SALES TAX IS NOT DEAD
TOO HOT TO HANDLE"

Approval of the tentative bud
get by five members of the cab
met, which would require an in
crease of nearly seven mills in
the state tax rate, has laid upon
the doorstep of Governor Cone
the responsibility for either TAX
ing personal command of the
1889 Legislature or permitting
the lawmakers to embark upon
the stormy legislative seas with
out instructions from the captain
or a chart showing the shoals
and reefs in the path Of the ship
Of state.
The recommendations of the
budget commission, minus the
signature of the chief executive,
body substantial increases in
appropriations for several de-
partments as well as salary
boosts for cabinet officers and
the governor. But the commits
sion, in the opinion of many OBJ
servers in Tallahassee, made pub
lie the recommendations without
any idea that the findings would
meet with the governors approx
al nor the approval of the finance
and taxation committees of the
house and senate. All the pro-
posed budget amounts to, there
fore, is simply an itemized list of
what the cabinet believes the
state government should receive
if the present setup is maintained.
Nevertheless, the budget report
has put the governor in an ex-
ceedingly tight spot because the
chief executive, by his failure to
sign the recommendations, must
either submit a minority report
to the legislature or give the
lawmakers a concise summary of
his own views on budgetary mat
tiers in his message.
In brief, the budget commits
sion has finished its Job and has
said to the governor: Here. are
our views. What are yours?"
Hence the Legislature has
every right to expect the COVER
nor, since he apparently does not
agree with the budget commits
sion, to provide a definite recon-
mendation of his own and this
writer believes such a recommen-
dation will be contained in the
message, contrary to other OBJ
servers who insist that the gov
ernor Will give the Legislature
only sketchy outline upon
which to frame a new financial
program.

Florida chain stores are busy
contracting members of the Leg
islature about a proposed bill,
which has been described as a
modified form of the recovery
act that furnished so much fire
works during the last two SEES
sions. Independent merchants,
better organized than ever be-
fore, are pushing the measure and
leaders believe they have an ex-
cellent chance of passing the bill,
too. Tipped as floor leader in
the upper branch is Senator Pat
Whitaker, veteran Tampa Solon,
who is coming back this session
to a senate of which he is past
president.
|. Sen. Whitaker, if he leads the
fight for the modified recovery
bill, will give the chain stores
plenty of trouble because the
fiery Hillsborough county solon
is one of the best orators in
Florida and packs plenty of punch
in rough and tumble debate.
Recovery bill opposition, in all
probability, will be headed by
Sen. Spessard Holland, of Bar
tow, who has filled this role in
the 1885 and 1887 sessions, team
ing with Sen. Phillip Beall, OF
Pensacola.

found in comment of a legislator

if the conference would take up
a reshuffle of the gas tax the
solon replied that the subject
was etoo hot to handle.
Beyond a possible earmarking

Close perusal of the budget
commissions report, however, re-
vealS number of interesting
facts. First, the report cleared
all doubts about the state deficit.
There is Z shortage and a whop-
ping big one. So all the debate
between State Comptroller ]. M.
Lee and State Treasurer w. v.
Knott SINNERS down to question
of simple arithmetic, regardless
of "earmarked funds" and other
fol-de-roi.
All the Legislature is interest
ed in is exactly how much money
must be provided to meet unpaid
bills and get the state out of the
red and the budget commission
report has answered the question
beyond any further argument.
Hence this 100000 deficit
must be placed at the top of any
tabulation compiled by finance
and taxation committees and this
fact alone makes it difficult to
believe that the Legislature will
repeal any present sources of rev
