MIGHT SAVE US MONEY

With the Netherlands, France and
Great Britain interested in buying Amer
lean airplanes it might be possible for our
aircraft industry to expand to size suf-
ficient to take care of our needs, in the
event of an emergency, without much cost
to the government of the United States.
If, as reported, the Russian govern
ment wants American companies to con-
struct two battleships, the order might
lead to expansion of our shipbuilding in
dustry. Besides giving employment to
some of our workmen and using American
material, the contract would add to the in
dustrial preparedness of the United States
for war. s"5"@ ~ a'@
Instead of opposing these orders, the
people of this country ought to welcome
them. If American industry can land
enough Of them it would save our tax
payers considerable money and be the
means of strengthening the defenses OF
this hemisphere.

COUNTY CLINIC NEEDS SUPPORT

Individual contributions toward the
support of the Monroe County Clinic have
fallen off alarmingly and unless new
money is advanced by the general public
the clinics usefulness may be seriously
impaired When the financial contingency
was brought to attention by DR.. John
Gekeler, treasurer of the Monroe County
Welfare Advisory Council, Mrs. Florence
'Spottswood, chairman, Immediately made
an appeal for clinic support
.sri One plea was directed to all those
who have received treatment or have been
served at the clinic without charge be-
cause of their inability to pay for the
services rendered them These bene-
ficiaries of the clinics services have been
asked to pay the below-cost charges for
medicine and room service as soon as they
find themselves in a position to do so. It
is pointed out that many of those who can
not pay the usual charges of physicians
and hospital service can pay the clinic for
the medicines prescribed them.
One hundred and ninety-one cases of
late have been treated under clinic direc-
ton at Marine hospital free of charge, ex-
cept for a small carrying charge for room
service The total paid by the clinic to
the hospital for these services was $2,801,
while the patients treated there only gave
the clinic ST $50. The difference came
out Of clinic funds supplied by individuals
Financially responsible individuals
should contribute to the support of the
clinic. Those treated at the clinic should
pay what they can toward the cost of
medicines. However, the fact remains
that support of the clinic should be mat
ter of general public concern, as The Citi-
zen has stressed on previous occasions
Why should a few individuals and the
very poor who need medical treatment be
called upon to bear any substantial part OF
the expense of the clinic? t,t I'LL.
Obviously support of the clinic is a
matter for the city and county to under
take 1t is just as important to give clint
cal treatment to the poor and unfortunate
as it is to feed prisoners at county jail, to
maintain police force Or to oil and repair
public thoroughfares. In fact, it seems
more important to provide medical treat
ment and medicine without cost to those
who cannot pay for these vital services
than it is to put coat of paint Oh county
courthouse, to hang new doors at city hall
or to buy new cars for public officials.

era1 fund deficit. But when the
Legislators asked some of the
school folks: "|Nhat'll we use for
money!" they were told THAT,
my friends, is your problem.
But you can't laugh off deficit
as big as the schools must make
up or close the classrooms a
couple of months early. So it is
our guess that one of the first
things the Legislature will do aft
er hanging up their hats and
coats will be to take up series
of bills that will make a lot of
folks pay taxes-just for change.
One of these, in all probability,
will be bill creating state tax
commission and another may be
a copy of a Georgia law that en-
powers the sheriff to sell you
down the river if you don't see
the tax collector three months
after receiving your bill. Still
another bill would speed the re-
covery of a number of county tax
assessors, now suffering from
malignant astigmatism, and we
heard a lot of talk about CONSOLE
dating county and city tax assess
ing and collecting offices SO that

BILLS TO LEGALIZE GAMBLING

The Council of State Governments re-
ports that eleven states have under con-
sideration proposals to license or legalize
gambling devices of one type or another.
The bills range from licensing or legahz-
ing slot machines to proposals to legalize
lotteries
= 4l."'1t is pointed out that nineteen states
have legalized pari-mutuel betting at race
tracks although none have, as yet, legal
lied "bookies." t<
For some reason the American public
seems inclined to take chances" In
many places church-sponsored games of
chance have been presented. In most COM
munities there is some form of gambling
tolerated and at fairs, expositions and such
attractions open gambling is seldom inter-
fered with.
A recent poll of the people of this
country, made by the Institute of Public
Opinion, reveals that over half of the
Gation's adults admit to having bet money
s s9me form of gambling during 1888,
rot including the stock market.

A. Frank w Lowering, former Key
West newspaperman, now editor" of the the
Lakeland News, always eager to givesthe
island city boost, has this to say in his
column Round About Florida: TMany
eating places specialize in turtle meat,
:. supply of which around Florida is limited
to distribution along the Gulf shores from
Panama City to Key West. Key West is
an important marketing center for the sea
turtle, but gets quantities of them from the
Cayman islands, and large turtle can
ming factory is located there, products of
which are known in the best food stores
throughout the United States and in some
foreign countries. The sea turtle grows to
almost unbelievable size and if given pro-
per protection can become an important
commercial seafood product"

This is just one example of
streamlined economy the Legisla-
tors are considering. Other items
on this docket include combining
several state departments, and,
