PEOPLES FORUM
ERRONEOUS IDEA

Editor, The Citizen:
In the tax discussion now GO
ing on I see continually repeated
an erroneous idea which is that
an individual owning no property
pays no taxes, while getting all
the benefits of government. This
is one of the pet arguments used
by the Sales Tax advocates.
AS a matter of fact, the in
dividual who owns no property
pays more taxes and gets less for
his money than the property
owner.
Merchandise is priced on orig
inal cost, freight and expense of
doing business, which includes
taxes, so the purchaser of the
merchandise pays the taxes.
Rents are based on the value of
the property maintenance and
taxes, so the renter pays the
taxes.
All business is done on this
principle.
Governmental service includes
protection to the person and COM
forts and conveniences, which
the Individual could not obtain in
any other way and also includes
protection of all kinds to prop
erty.
1t is quite evident that the in
dividual who owns no property
gets less service for his taxes
only personal service-while the
property owner gets personal and
property service.
I repeat, the individual who
owns no property, while paying
no direct taxes, pays indirect
taxes and gets less for his money
than the property owner.
will appreciate anyone COM
ing forward and trying to dis
prove these facts.

BENO THRILLS
PARK CROWDS
FEARLESS WONDER SEEN AT
PLAYLAND PARK
EACH NIGHT

Brimming over with thrills,
laughs and color, Ben Beno, the
Spanish Daredevil of the Swing
ing Trapeze entertained a large
crowd last night. Ben does real
riot of tricks and there is never
dull moment from the begin
ming until the finale. Ben has
shown to the people of every
civilized country in the world,
except Iceland, Greenland and
Denmark. This is Mr.. Beno's
first trip to Key West and as soon
as his contract expires with Play
land Park he will return to Spain.
Playland Park is sponsored by
the Arthur Sawyer Post No. %
American Legion for their build
ing fund.
"Hey, don't you miss" is the
cry of the pretty girl running the
stand where many a baseball
player throws his arm off trying
to show the on-lookers how hard
he can throw a baseball. Voices
of all kinds are heard as the
shows get under way at night and
the people are standing wonder
ing what it is all about.
The Rolo-plane is one Of the
newest of the ride family and il
seems that the public will never
tire of it as they stand in line
to wait until their turn comes to
ride. There are in all eight rid
ing devices, said to be the best
ever brought to Key West. The
Midway every night is checked
full of people from all over Mon
roe County but everything is
very peaceful and no trouble
seems to bother them at all as
they walk from one tent to an
other and wonder if they should
spend their money for this or
that.
THE night is getting rather
late and everybody has had a
very nice time, but the show
must go on and we'll be back
again tomorrow night and finish
seeing the rest of a grand show"

PLAN CHURCH
CONFERENCE
REV. ARTHUR PAIN WILL
SPONSOR SERVICE AT CON-
EDUCATIONAL CHURCH

Conferences of the Worlds
Christian Fundamentals Associa-
ton, which have been held in
cities throughout the State OF
Florida, will hold a session to-
morrow at the Congregational
church of witch Rev. w. L. Halla-
day is the pastor.
The motto under which the
conferences are held is Back to
the Bible, and the watchword
is Earnestly Contend for the
Faith.
Belief of the Worlds Christian
Fundamentals Association is that
the Bible is the inspired work OF
God; One God eternally existing
in three persons, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit; man is lost sinner
saved through the substitutionary
sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ;
resurrection of the Lord Jesus
Christ, His ascension into Heaven,
and his present life there as High
Priest and Advocate.
The outstanding beliefs of the
Association are: God inspired the
Bible; a personal God; Jesus
Christ the Divine Son of God,
whose atonement of the cross
alone saves mankind from an
everlasting hell to enjoy happi-
ness of an everlasting heaven;
necessity of man individually
being born again, and the second
coming of the Lord.
Speaker of the evening tomor-
row will be DR.. Paul Rood, presi-
dent of the Worlds Christian
Fundamental Association, and
the service will be sponsored by
the Rev. Arthur w. Pain, of Ha-
vana, Cuba, who has a host of
friends in Key West.
A special invitation is extended
to all Christians in Key West,
who feel the necessity of stand
ing against modernism of today
and who believe in the word OF
God. The association is unde-
nominational.

Lincolnia Collector
Visits Island

Thomas 1. Starr, editor of ''The
Michigan Bell'', official publica-
ton of the Michigan Bell Tele-
phone Company, was an interest
ed visitor to Key West, calling at
The Citizen office today to relate
how pleased he was with this city.
Mr.. Starr arrived here with his
wife, son, Richard, and friend,
Miss Ruby CaSwell, all of De-
troit, Michigan, Sunday, and left
this afternoon for the completion
of their vacation trip to be spent
along the East Coast.
MIR. Starr is an outstanding col
lector of Neutrality-suspicious. and
material of Abraham Lincoln. He
was much interested in collec-
tons of Civil War days on exhibit
in various parts of Key West.

Economic Highights

here again, many think, the man
is likely TO come from the Sen
ate, in the form of Robert Taft of
Ohio, son of the late President
and Chief Justice. Last election
Mr.. Taft decisively defeated the
strong, New Deal-backed Sena-
tor Buckley. His brief political
record has been distinguished.
He has no unfortunate past con-
nections. And he comes from a
key state.
So keep your eyes on these
men. The build-up has been
started. And there's good
chance you will be voting for one
of them for President at the end
of next year.
In England France observers
find a growing belief that the
Munich settlement was a tragic
mistake. Even Mr.. Chamberlain
has lately taken stronger note
toward Germany. And there is
a sound reason for that: Trade.
Self-sufficiency is Hitler's
dream-a Germany which can
live in comfort and plenty with
out relying on any other power.
And self-sufficiency is what Hit
Ter is achieving with amazing
speed. The small nations of Cen
trail Europe are coming more and
more within the German orbit
Hitler uses any tools at his COM
mand to get the results he wants
promises, threats, economic
bribes-and no small nation can
afford to hold out against the de-
sireS of the master of Europe"
AS Dewitt Mackenzie, an AP ex-
pert, writes, "The smashing OF
Czechoslovakia, and Frances alb
dication of her influence, have
enabled Hitler to impose a con-
troll under which these COMPARE
lively small countries henceforth
will not live for themselves but
for the benefit of the father
land".
Thus does the balance of pow
er shift. 1t means that billions
in trade will be lost to other
powers. 1t means that Hitler is
gradually building a German
dominated empire exceeding even
the dreams of Bismarck. And
finally, it means that the outlook
for Democracy in Europe was
never blacker. Some experts
feel it to be inevitable that
France will eventually succumb,
and become a totalitarian state,
more or less on the Fascist mod
ell.

The appointment of Felix
Frankfurter to the Supreme Court
was received with almost unan-
imous approval. In conservative
circles, the feeling seems to be
that you can thoroughly disagree
with many or all of DR.. Frank
furter's social and economic theo-
ries-but that there can be no
question of his ability, experience
and integrity. He is thus regard
ed as a fit successor to the late
great Justice Benjamin Cardozo.
The appointment of Harry
Hopkins to the Commerce Secre-
taryship and of Frank Murphy to
the Attorney-Generalship fall in
to very different category. Both
of these men have been the CEN
tiers of violent political typhoons
Both have their legions of en-
battled supporters and opponents
Both have been long identified
with partisan politics. 1t was
thus to be expected that there
would be strong opposition to
their being seated in the Cabin
ct. And it was also to be ex-
pected that seasoned political OBJ
servers saw in these appoint
ments, political move of poten-
TALLY great Importance.
These observers have come tc
the view that the President is
tending to believe that if he
sought a third-term nomination
it would disrupt the party, anc
make a Republican victory in
1910 inevitable. Therefore, it is
reasoned, he is preparing to force
upon the next Democratic con.
vention a candidate of his own
choice. And Hopkins and Muir
ply, so the story goes, are the
men he has his eyes upon. From
the New Deal point of view their
records are 100 percent perfect
They thoroughly share the Presi-
dents philosophy of government
And they are energetic and am
bilious.
So far so good. But there is g
strong wing of the Democratic
party, led by the Southerners
who are openly working to pre-
vent New Deal domination of the
next convention. They want the
party to take a strong swing to
the right. And to them, Hopkins
and Murphy are anathema. They
would like some man such as
Secretary Hull to lead them III
194O-but his advancing age is g
bad factor. They admire Gov
ernor Lehman of New York
whom even the Republicans con-
cede to be a first-rate statesman
but the fact that he is Jewish
in the view of some, would make
his selection inadvisable. Fur
thermore, they feel that the can
didates should come from the
great farm belt, which holds the
balance of power in any election
AS a result, seasoned political
experts are saying that when the
time comes, the candidate who
will 60 to the convention with
the strongest backing is likely tc
be Bennett Clark of Missouri, sor
of the late Champ Clark, the IA
nous Speaker of the House. He
is young, and an excellent ora
tor. His views appeal to such
Democratic conservatives as MIR
Garner, and his Senate record i:
one of independence. At the
same time, he has not actively
fought the New Deal in most mat
tiers, so his choice would not bt
a slap at MIR. Roosevelt.
The Republicans are also cast
ing around for a candidate. Ans
