 Children as a rule are not good visitors. Not if they feel at home in neighbours house. Mothers do not like to offend the child of friend, and consequently permit conduct they deny their own offspring. Thus they do not care.
 Throwing off the inhibitions of home rule, they go to 1t. They say to themselves, T wish my mama was as kind as Mrs. Smith. She doesn't mind what I do and its a lot more fun here than being told every minute to be careful"
 Old Children. Too
 It is not always young children who forget their manners abroad. It often happens that the older they are the more careless they grow. At a party for a high school crowd, lady was shocked to find the girls in her room using her perfume. And the boys discovering her husbands work shop, where he pursued his hobby of cabinet mak- ing, helping themselves to the prec- ions bits of holly wood and pear wood used for inlay. Where to find more he did not know. They had been gifts.
 Are we sure about the good manners of our families when they are beyond our personal supervis- ion? Have we given them a code of ethics that will hold good every where? Consideration, respect for property and appreciation of hos pitality are the earmarks of good breeding.

Economic Highlights

Five or six years ago any
Filipino so politically blind as to
campaign for office on a plat
form advocating the maintenance
Of the Philippines on their then
existing basis as an American
colony would have gone down to
ignominiouS defeat. Today, a
candidate advocating absolute
Philippine freedom would have
about as much chance of political
survival as SNOWFALL in July.
Four years back, when Congress
passed the Tydings-McDuffie
Act, providing for complete in
dependence for the Islands in
1916, the Islands put on the
greatest celebration in their his
tory-the ambition of all Filipino
patriots mad been realized. Last
November a plebiscite was held,
and where $4,000 Filipinos voted
in favor of maintaining the Act
in its present form, more than
100000 voted to modify it.
There is plenty of reason for
that rather astonishing shift of
Island sentiment. The Philip
pines are worried. There are two
primary WorrieS-one has to do
with their economic life, and the
other with their security as
people and nation.
AS Newsweek expresses it,
THE average Filipino fears that
independence will mean power
ty". So long as the Islands re-
main a U. S. dependency, Philip
pine exports can enter this coun-
try without tax or duty-and we,
of course, provide their greatest
single market. Under the terms
of the Tydings-M cDuffie Act, as
the day of freedom nears, Island
goods are to be subjected pro
gressiyely to our tariffs. That
would naturally mean higher
prices for Island-raised produce
here, more competition, and de-
Ginning sales. 1t would be Writ
ually essential for the Islands to
revolutionize their economy, if
they were to escape economic
disaster. That would be diff

lcult revolution indeed, and so
far, apparently. little progress to-
ward that end has been made.
So far as Philippine security is
concerned, the great fear is ia
pan. Nippon frankly wants the
Islands, which are relatively close
to her shores. The Japanese
have already penetrated deeply
into the. economic life of the Is
lands, and are the dominant fig
ures in number of major indus
tries. The Philippines have laws
designed to restrict Japanese
property-holdings, but, according
to reports. the willy subjects of
the Son of Heaven have found
little difficulty in getting around
them, by the use of "dummies"
and similar stratagems.
The u. S. Army, it is known,
is not enthusiastic for the Is
lands-it regards them as being
dangerously close to being indie
feasible against a major fleet
such as that possessed by Japan,
which has sources of supply with
in reach. The Navy, while it too
appreciates the difficulties of de-
tense, wants the bases in the
Far East which the Islands
provide. So the admirals are
generally in favor of modifi-
cation of the Tydings-McDuffie
Act.
What happens to the Islands
is of considerable Importance to
this country. We have invested
scores of millions there, and we
sell great quantities of our goods
to the Islands annually. Some
argue that the best out is to en-
courage the Filipinos to change
their type of farming, produce
for us tea, pepper, quinine and
other commodities which today
we must buy from foreign ma
tons. In the meantime. senti.
ment in favor of modification of
the Tydings-McDuffie Act grows,
especially since it has become
apparent that an overwhelming
majority of Filipinos favor it
too. There is good chance that
Congress will listen and act.

project shows very substantial
building which will not deterior-
ate for many years. Even the
shingles on the roof are of ce-
ment block. Supporting columns
are galvanized pipe. Noticed two
and three family units. In one
place there was a large unit with
a park Immediately in front. Dion
says the Key West project will
be roughly similar except that
architecture in the Key West
atmosphere will be more pro-
nounced. We are glad, because
the Miami housing group appears
little severe.

The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-12-11

Key West was 155 miles. The
present highway mileage is 172.
There is considerable difference.
It seems to our source, however.
that the lower stretch of Keys
from Big Pine to Key West will
remain a political issue for the
coming gubernatorial election.
Anyway, much jiggety roads and
up and down bridges on Key
Largo will be eliminated as well
as one bad curve, which cuts di-
rectly at a 9O-degree angle and is
dangerous.
AS THIS COLUMN predicted,
the Clark Steamship Company
decided not to make the Key
West-Havana steamship run. Now
the reason can be told. When
President Clark announced that
he was considering the run, those
in the know said that this would
be contingent on his securing
certain contracts from Cuba and
governmental cooperation as
well. One $4,000 concession from
Cuban concern has already
been obtained by the Pan Amer
lean Link Transportation Com
pany and was refused Clark
Steamship Company. Now we
can tell you something else. Pan
American Link Transportation
Company is at present trying to
buy boats for a Miami-Havana
run. Local representatives are
trying to persuade B. Gill; "guid-
ing STAR, that a stop sat Key
West would be profitable. Say
the Company picks up a meagrc
30 passengers out of Key West.
The round trip gross is thus 5000,
not a bad portion to add to
operating expenses. Another en-
couraging feature is that the
company does not want to run
its Cuban banana freight trans
portation in competition with
Atlantic lines. Now in any run
up the west coast of Florida to
Pensacola, it is very easy to stop
at Key West, both up and down,
and discharge and take on pas
Sengers.

THE EVILS of the ad valorem
system OF. taxation are very
much apparent in Key West
There is a movement going. on in
Florida to repeal the ad valorem
features now in the state con-
stitution. This column also UNI
derstands that a city, such as Key
West, may so amend its charter
by ordinance that the vital points
of tax system based on income
taxes will be obtained. One bust
ness house now on Duval street,
for instance, comes under the
Homestead Exemption Law be-
cause the owner lives in it.
Homesteads are exempted only
up to $4,000. 1t would seem that
the business in question would
go beyond that amount in total
valuation, but the valuation is so
low, as determined by the city,
that the store comes under the
head of homestead exemption.

AS ONE KEY WESTER point
ed out, a system based on income
tax would be fair alike to both
rich and poor. "Tax the NOV
ing dollar, this person says;
"do not tax the dead dollar. The
dead dollar is. represented in
real estate and stocks of goods.
The live dollar is that which is
moving. Thus large enterprise
which does a great deal of bust
ness pays a large share for its
city protection. While the labor
er, you and me, pays only a
small share of our income to OBJ
tain fire, police, sanitary, city
government and other advant-
ages. Thus all these century old
fuses over delinquent taxes will
be removed and more business
will be stimulated in Key West
by greater investment possibility
with taxes just on profits, not on
investment wether there are prof
its or not.
