RIGHT!


Through the press, by posters in rail-
road stations, over the radio and on the
floor of our legislatures we have been
more or less bombarded with propaganda
for this or that form of transportation One
group asks for square deal and a fair
field. Another request is for regulation of
transportation or for taxes or laws which
will place all forms of transportation on
an equal basis.
One of the things which has been
singularly missing from great deal of
this propaganda has been the interest of
the public. 1t is certain that in all the de-
mands for special consideration by trans
portation interests there have been few
speeches in which a square deal was de-
manded for the general public
Everyone is interested in transporta-
ton. Every time you pay out a dollar for
merchandise or material a considerable
percentage goes to pay the cost of trans
portation-a cost that is hidden in the
purchasing price. If new methods of
transportation come along which will per-
NIT transportation costs to be cut, it will
mean that prices will go down and the
cost of living will be reduced. Certainly
the public is entitled to this saving if it
can be accomplished.
An attempt should be made to meet
transportation problems by having them
adjusted to the needs of society rather
than trying to have society legislated to
meet the needs of any individual form of
transportation. Competition is not par
ticularly welcome by some of us. But, it
is the only insurance of square deal to
the public. Let competition in the trans
portation field continue.

at the corner of Fleming and Du-

icleS which amounted to a small
sum. An attempt was also made
to enter the store of Wing Lee,
but the thief was apprehended.
Tomorrow will be Rotary Day
in the campaign that is being
waged in the plans to obtain
memberships in the Red Cross
Chapter of Key West, and the
club members are prepared to
start out and canvass the town
in the drive which will last
throughout the entire day.
A telegram has been received
this morning from Mr.. and Mrs.
E. c. Athey, at Fort Totten, N.

eight pound boy. The little one
has been given the name of
James Russell Athey. Mrs. Athey
will be remembered as Miss Vio-

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION

Key West is coming to life. It is like
a corporation that is facing a prosperity
long overdue. It's affairs must be shaped,
its operating personnel must be organized
ments. The machinery must be oiled and
tuned up, the operating methods co-ordi-
mated for the production of goods and
service.
Nothing is SO important as brains,
ability and experience in the operation of
corporation. By the same token nothing
is so important to struggling community
as such qualifications in the men who run
businessman does not trust inefficient, in
expert and inept individuals to manage it !;
n the conduct of her affairs the good house
wife does not leave the management of her
home to the least capable of her children
or servants.
1t is evident then, that it is highly
important that the voters of Key West
elect capable and experienced men to run
the complex affairs of the city No citi-
zen should expect good service, sound
judgment and aggressive leadership from
men who have never given good service,
exercised sound judgment or exerted them
selves aggressively in bettering community
activities
The Citizen believes the voters of Key
West have sufficient mental equipment to
distinguish between the capable man and
those not qualified to manage the affairs
Cf our municipal corporation. Our voters
know who has done things or who is doing
things for this community. There are men
who make promises, talk good service and
advocate sound projects-but who don't
do anything. Key West needs men who
will not make promises they cannot fulfill,
who will give good service and who will
do something to help build the community.
Therefore, it is evident the voters
must vote for the men they know are
qualified to manage the municipal serv-
ices. And vote they must tomorrow if they
want those good men in public positions.
AS The Citizen has pointed out before,
good men cannot be wished into office;
they must be voted in. No citizen inter-
ested in bigger and better Key West can
afford to neglect this opportunity to elect
worthy of bigger and better things
VOTE TOMORROW AND VOTE
RIGHT!

PEOPLES FORUM
GRATEFUL FOR ADULT
EDUCATION
Editor. The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
American Education Week end
ed Saturday, and, we, as students
of the Adult Education School of
the W.P.A., wish to express our
gratitude to our President for
making possible Adult Educa-
ton; and to our local Board of
Education as our sponsor.
! If you will note the bright
lights of an evening in the Com
mercial Department of the High
School, you will learn that some
so adults are busy trying to ad-
| just their lives to the present-day
way of living; not only to find
their place in the work a-day
world Of today, but to better un-
derstand our city, state, and ma
tiona1 government and be ready
to take an intelligent part in its
administration.
In this school you will find
students from Is to 66, each try
ing to piece out his knowledge
of things and ways of living, as
his lack may be. They come
from all walks of life, working
side by side in the Democratic
way. You will find an intelligent
and patient teacher, one who is
just as interested in the foreign
er who is trying to master the
English language as the college
bred student brushing up on his
shorthand, preparatory to taking
a position.
You might find a class study
ing Personality-that something
which proves IS percent of the
success of life; this getting on
with people; this consideration of
the rights of others; this coopera-
ton; this working to make Key
West a clean, quiet place for our
tourist guests.
Our education for tolerance is
expressed in our Open Forum.
where we reason things out in
the American Way, trying to dis
tinguish propaganda from truth.
So we pause to thank everyone
from our President down to our
local community, which gives US
encouragement and support in
this work of building our lives to
meet today's needs.
