FISH PHOTOGRAPHY
(Tampa Tribune)

Somebody caught a l00-pound tarpon and a
3O0-pound Jewish last week at Key West and
hung them up at the yacht basin. Whereupon,
the Key West Citizen reports, 500 people took pie
lures of the two big fish, and most of these got
friends to snap their own pictures standing beside
the fish. They borrowed rods and reels to use as
props for the pictures. to prove that they caught
the fish themselves. One lady, according to the
newspaper. took the prize. She had her picture
snapped alongside the fish and then went away
grumbling because she was snapped holding her
pockethQok and people wouldn't believe caught
the fish If Had pocketbook in the picture"
"a, The idea isn't exactly new. Long before this.
meni have had their photographs made in studios
holding large rifles and with one foot on the neck
of stuffed tiger. If any Florida resort photo
grapher viii buy fair-sized stuffed whale he can
soon pay for it by photegraphing visitors holding
harpoons.
The Key West snapshots. which have been
sent to several hundreds home folks all over the
country. indicating that 500 people each caught .
1oO-pound tarpon and a00-pound Jewish, are
fairly authentic. At least it Is fact that some
body caught couple of big fish.

TAXES MUST BE PAID!

In budget Friday night adopted by
city council there is provision for discounts
for taxpayers who meet their bills prompt
ly. The rate is per cent discount for pay
ment during January, per cent during
February and l per cent during March.
After that full payment will be exacted.
From all The Citizen has been able
to learn, it will pay the taxpayers to take
advantage of the discounts this year. In
the past 1t has been customary for some
taxpayers to put off payment until wor-
ried city council reduced the assessment
roll or the tax rate. This year there is not
likely to be any such relief for tardy tax
payers. The city! council evidently is seri-
Gus in it's decision to make every taxpayer
pay on the line in actual cash.
On the face of it 80 mills, or $32 for
each $1,000 of assessed valuation on the
non-exempt roll of $3.50, lao, appears to
be pretty stiff. However, the majority of
properties are assessed at only about SO
peg cent of their market value, so that in
effect the tax rate is about half $32 on the
actual valuation. Some $48,398 must be
raised by direct taxation, the remainder of
the budget totaling $105,74S to be realized
from other sources, including occupational
licenses. Those sources are expected to
produce $57,35O.
The budget shows the city council has
done business-like job of providing for
vital requirements. Included in an allot-
ment of $15,217 to the board of public
works is the sum of $4,000 for sponsorship
of public works projects. This is wise
provision and should provide work for
many of the men who soon may lose en-
ployment when the sewer and water prof.
ect is closed down.
Another important item is one of $751;
652. This is to be used to pay interest on
notes and revenue bonds now outstanding
and to pay some of the floating debts in
cash. City council voted against the pro-
posal to issue certificates of Indebtedness
to cover some 100000 in floating debts.
Whether this was mistake remains to be
seen. At the rate the citys financial posi-
ton is improving it will take several years
interest which have been paid on the GER
tificates of Indebtedness.
Other principal provisions, besides
one of $44,713 for general operating ex-
penses, are one of $21, 661 to meet the
funded debt requirements and another of
5000 to satisfy any possible judgments
that may be obtained against the city by
bondholders who did not enter the bond re-
funding program.

GAINED AT GETTING THEIR CASH"

Sir George Paish, British economist.
visiting this country, says that the nations
of the world are spending $12.50O, O00. 200
a year on "pump-priming" and the danger
that the power to spend Government credit
will not last should lead the nations to-
gether to consider their joint economic
problems.
Among other observations, the British
visitor expressed his opinion that the per-
secution of the Jews by the German Gov
eminent was "aimed at getting their
cash." This confirms anopinion expressed
in these columns several weeks ago. Any
Oh fAniliar with the economic position of
d4h4Sny can easily understand why the
HHAr regime is ready to do almost any
thing to get new sources of revenue.

The Citizen favors the appointment
of Felix Frankfurter to the Supreme Court
because it considers him qualified, not for
the reason attributed to the senate judi

Representative Pat Cannon seems to
be the kind of man who has thoughts of his
own and believes he was elected to repre-
sent his constituents and not to follow
blindly the idiosyncracies of the leaders
so-called. He is strongly for national de-
Tense and told the boys in Washington that
he weighs 800 pounds and no 120-pounder
had ever attempted to sock him. That's
right, Pat, we want powerful line of de-
Tense on land, sea and air. Then no nation
will attempt to sock us, provided we do not
attempt to start rumpus.

A new gambling casino is widely re-
ported in the newspapers of the state as
having opened in Miami. For some reason
or other this is regarded as news-San-
ford Herald. The news is that with a
plethora of gambling joints, there is room
for another-that the saturation point has
not been reached.
