AT PRESENT Key West is I'M
dergoing reorganization. Civic
clubs are waging a gallant fight
to systematic city and county
governments with the City Char
ter Revision committee springing
out of the Lions Club, which
wishes a undermining of an anti
quated city charter doing the
most needed work. The present
charter does not allow prosecu-
ton of tax delinquency. Rotary
Club, long an active force in the
city, is doing splendid youth
service work and pushing a few
of the bigger needs of the city
toward completion. Stone Church
Service Club is an "open forum"
club where problems of the city
and reactions of visitors are in
diligently discussed. Woman's
Club, Junior Woman's Club and
Garden Club are doing splendid
work in stimulating contact with
visitors here from other sections
Of the country. Local talent,
noted lecturers and study of
tropical planst are included in
their benefits. A Junior Cham
Der of Commerce is tackling the
old Gordian knots of the city ask
ing a fresh why about every
cant" question. American Lee
gion is stressing the point of
Americanism. There are Mason
ic Clubs, Elks Club of the social
benevolent and fraternal organi-
cations, which are also active.
There are also Cuban fraternal
clubs that are connected with up
state and Cuban clubs.

in the legal profession Max d. Steuer, noted

S5S8,436; and that the first eleven months

Montana proposes to legalize gam
bling and once it is legalized it will not be
so rampant. There is no fruit so sweet as
stolen fruit. In this connection let The
Citizen repeat as it has so often stated that
the solution to petty gambling and the cor
ruption of public officials is National and
State lotteries. There is nothing that can
be said in favor of the establishment of
lotteries except that between two evils it
it desirable to choose the lesser.

INEFFICIENT GOVERNMENT

INEFFICIENT GOVERNMENT
Editor, The Citizen:
Our state tax laws are not bad
and any little defects therein can
be easily remedied.
The whole trouble consists in
the way the laws are enforced.
The Constitution says, "The leg
islature shall provide a just and
equitable system of taxation, and
the State Supreme Court has said,
Taxation is by the state. 1t is
an exertion of sovereignty.
Unfortunately, the state has
nothing to do with our ad va
lorem taxes except to levy a
small millage for state purposes.
The assessment of property for
taxation is made by local officials
and tWo-thirds of our govern
mental expenditures are made
by them and there is no state
control over either of these two
important matters. There is no
head to the most important part
/ Of public affairs in this state-in-
come and expense.
No business on earth would be
run or could be run SO ineffi-
gently as this. No wonder we
are in trouble and it is getting
worse.
What is the remedy?

CLEANUP DRIVE PROPOSED

We've lived here all our lives and
got along with things as they are, so why
change them?'
This is the attitude Of number of our
citizens. Any change, any progress, any
effort to revise the old order of things is
abhorrent to them. They want their sec
tons of Key West to remain untouched,
unkenpt and unclean simply because they
have not been touched by malaria or dis
ease and are accustomed to the discomforts
of outhouses-and mosquitoes
Inspectors for the U. S. public health
service, the state health department, the
county health department and the city, in
their quest for the breeding places of mos
quitos, particularly of the disease-bearing
variety, have uncovered some deplorable
conditions. In not few instances the
householders responsible for these con-
ditions have protested the efforts of the in
spectors to get them to remedy the sanitary
defects giving rise to the complaints of
neighbors.
Of course, everyone knows no lasting
Improvement in the sanitary conditions
can be made until the sewage disposal sys-
tenn is completed and every householder is
compelled to make connection with it.
However, there is no need for open cessn
pools Or other nuisances These can be re-
paired and rebuilt, so that they are not a
source of mosquitoes, of stencil and of dis
ease. Your intelligent Key West citizen
lives as wholesomely as anyone anywhere
1t is the unintelligent man who is respon-
slble for unlovely and unsanitary condi-
tons.
The city council has determined on a
cleanup campaign and enforcement of the
sanitary regulatlons-a step that should
have been ordered months ago. To that
end the councilmen have invited Mayor AL
bury, City Health Officer William R. War
rem, state and county health officials and
the executive committee of the South Side
association, to meet with them Monday
night to discuss a cleanup program-and
enforcement Of, the sanitary laws. &c.,
The Citizen hopes this is fruitful of
immediate and effective action. Every lot,
every yard, every field must be cleared of
tin cans, old tires, discarded boots, broken
crockery and other water catch basins in
which mosquitoes breed. These must be de-
stroyed. Householders who think it smart
to keep their own yards clean by throwing
their debris into the adjoining lot must be
advised against the practice-and arrested
if caught committing insanitary acts.
In the main Key West is clean town.
The average citizen thinks too much of his
own health and that of his neighbors to
permit unsanitary conditions to exist. It is
the slovenly minority that must be forced
to do the simple things that lead to a better
and safer communal life.

THE ISLAND CITY

SVTOURISTS to the city are find
! ing that Key West has very in
expensive rates and are very glad
to discover this, The Citizen finds.
Small apartments and cottages
run between $25 and $50 a month
although the prices may soar to
$3.50, but these are isolated in
stances and are still in fair price
range for the residence secured.
Charter boats are taken. out for
$25. This price seems high, but
IN Miami the price ranges up to
$40 and $50, while Key West
prices never go above $25, which
is not much when it is considered
that a boat must be kept up dur
ing the slack" summer and that
the guide, gas and bait must be
taken out of the $25. If you want
an average drink it will be about
35c. Of course, this is not for the
more expensive drinks. Your
meal at delightful "Conch" and
Spanish" restaurants shouldn't
cost you more than SOC excluding
the tip. If you're taking a hotel
room, you can get them from 81
up, but the average price will be
about So. One hotel is from SO
up. Some of the residence room
ing houses you will be sleeping in
may be century old. We found
a staircase which had a half
round shape to allow passage into
the lobby. Mahogany and cedar,
South American woods, are in
many of the buildings and ship
carpentry is evident in others.
