IMMIGRATION ADDS TO UNEMPLOYMENT
BY BERNAHR MAcFADDEN in Liberty" Magazine

United States are working either
for the government of the United
States or for the respective state
governments. The statement has
/, been made that 80 percent of all
the unemployed in the entire
world are to be found in the con-
fines of the United States.
Of course Senator Reynolds is
branded as Fascist by the for
eign recipients of our benefic-
ence; but if fighting for Ameri-
! canism of the Washington and
Lincoln type subjects him to this
libel, he "can take it,. He has
apparently recognized the deplor-
able need of protecting our own
home folks. When foreigners are
given jobs and native-born Amer
lean citizens are denied them,
, this is indeed cause for caustic
criticism. AS long as there is a
good American citizen on the un-
employed list there is no earthly
reason why we should be accept
ing prospective job-seeking citi-
zens from other countries. We
should protect OUR own homes
first Of all, and after that duty
has been properly assumed, hui
manitarian motives can rightly
be encouraged.

Judged by the telegraph edi-
tors standard of news, there isn't
any news in a carload of my stuff
but I wonder if my readers aren't
getting a pretty good picture of
the Florida Legislature out of
these rambling remarks. There
are columns of news in 'hear-
ings" and investigations" but
when they're over there's nothing
done about them and you would
be just as well off if you hadn't
read a line about them. There's
lot of humor developing up
here like in committee meeting

1t has come to pass. Tax dodgers,
like the ninety-nine sinners, always have
been taken care of by legislators such as
Patron st. Murphy and others. State,
county and city officials made merry (and
would have killed the fatted calf if
it hadn't sickened and starved to DEATH
whenever a tax dodger repented and paid
his 1.-THE, but the honest tax payer was ac-
copied as a matter of course and the reg
ular payment of his taxes caused little
connection. Many times this writer sug-
gested to the solons that the forgotten tax
payer be rewarded in some form for his
loyalty and regularity, particularly be-
cause the owners of property who had
been paying their taxes saw their burdens
increase, on account of the delinquencies
by other property owners. Now, glory be,
Senator Hodges has introduced bill in
the Florida state legislature granting a
two-year moratorium for taxes on all lands
in this state on which taxes have been paid
for five years prior to the time this act
shall become law. Even if the bill doesn't
pass, halo to Senator Hodges for grand
gesture!

SOME RUMORS HARMFUL

One of the least profitable and the
most prolific crops grown in Key West is
rumors They are sprouted and cultivated
by our well known curbstone philosophers
and idling housewives. If man gets a
bloody nose in brawl, rumor soon has it
that there has been a general massacre; if
car slides harmlessly off the highway in
to ditch, rumor quickly reports four dead
and three injured if Mrs. Johanna Doe
buys a new dress and hat. the runner
spreads she has fallen into large for
tune yr xr]
Such r1mors have to be checked by.
The Citizen on the off chance there might
be some foundation for them, Ninety.
nine per cent of such Investigations come
to nothing There is usually no truth, or
very little truth, in such reports. AS a
general rule the rumors are harmless,
causing no one any great trouble or an
noyance. Occasionally, however, the
rumors are found to contain an ounce of
truth in every pound of lies or exaggera-
ton Often such rumors hurt someone, or
react against the best welfare of the city.
Then The Citizen feels called upon to get
the facts and to publish authoritative in
formation so that the false rumor may be
laid low, the damage it has done repaired.
A case in point was thesrecent rumor
regarding the alleged prevalence of in
fantile paralysis in Key West. The whis-
pered reports had it there were so many
cases of the dread malady here the
authorities were debating the necessity of
closing of the schools the theaters and
other places where our people congregate.
Some of these false reports got outside the
boundaries of the city, possibly in letters
written by some of our thoughtless citizens
to friends and relatives in other sections of
the country. Those widespread reports
did the city incalculable harm, retarded
the tourist flow, damned up our trade and
set us back as summer vacation center.
The fact of the matter is, as stated in
Wednesdays Citizen by DR.. William R.
Warren, city health officer, there are only
two authentic cases of infantile paralysis
in Key West, with two others under the OBJ
servation of the United States, state and
local health authorities. There is alb
solutely no danger here of a widespread
distribution of the disease.
Rumors are dangerous things when
they vitality affect all of the people of a
community. There should be more effort
on the part of intelligent citizens to get at
the facts and then spread the truth. Lies
do not stand up in the strong light of
truth. Anyone spreading something de-
rogatory that comes to him as a rumor
without proper investigation is traitor to
Key West.

/. Are women worse drivers than
men? That question was born
with the automobile, and for lack
of conclusive data, no answer
other than that of, opinion has
ever been given.
According to the figures in "Lest
We Regret" the ninth annual high
way safety booklet published by
the Travellers Insurance Company,
there were sc, 1850 automobile driv-
ers involved in fatal accidents in
1888. OF that number, 34,700 or
93.9% were men and only 1850 or
6.1% women.
This seems to indicate that on
the highways the female of the
species is not more deadly than
the male: There are, however, no
data on the relative number Of

DENTISTRY FINDS GOLD SUBSTITUTE

A new metal just perfected and
patented to take the place of gold in all
forms of dentures, will prove great saw
ing to both dentists and patients according
to the claims of its inventor, DR.. Cornell
Grossman, Millburr, N J. Whereas gold
now costs $35 an ounce, the new discov-
cry will cost but tenth of this while it's
adaptability will be the same.
President Roosevelt may be said to be
responsible for the new discovery for when
in 1888 he impounded all Of the nations
gold and later fixed the present price in
stead of the $40 ounce price that had pre-
vailed, DIR. Grossman began his expert
mentations for a stainless, noncorosive
noneletrolytic substitute.
The new metal, described as having
all the merits of gold, is lighter and of
lower ductility, and has greater hardness.
There is the same accuracy and denseness
in casting as with the precious metal.
The patent, which was issued April
18th, it is estimated will save thousands of
dollars to future wearers of bridges or
plates.

that the unemployment roll in
this country is an unspeakable
scandal, disgrace that we will
probably never entirely efface:
the disastrous situation brought
into being largely by the attitude
of this administration toward in
dustry.
Capitalists, industrialists, inves-
tors, employers, or whatever they
might be termed, are all human,
although in some instances they
are greedy and grasping; but they
naturally want to protect their
interests.
A business that does not make
profit soon disappears. Through
out the entire history of this
country business has been en-
couraged and stimulated. Gov
eminent officials have recogniz-
ed that the more business we
have, the more profit earned, the
greater will be the rewards of all
concerned.
This administration furnishes
the first example of officials at
lacking this source of prosperity.
The great problem we are fac
ing at the present time is the
making of more jobs. But not
withstanding the unemployment
emergency, we find desire on
the part of many of our officials
to open cur ports to an increased
number of immigrants. This adj
dition to our population should
be denounced. I'm m G r a Il o n
should be stopped altogether.
Suppose these immigrants do
secure jobs upon arrival. They
put an American citizen out OF a
job. they make one job less for
our own people.
If the father of family was
heavily in debt and had to pro-
vide for number of children,
and had to borrow money or ac-
cept charity to support them,
would it be wisdom on his part
to accept a few more dependents
to add to his burdens?
Well, this accurately represents
the situation that exists in this
country at the present time. Here
we are, with almost a third of
our wage earners unemployed,
billions required to keep people
on the dole or in charity jobs,
and what earthly reason have We
for adding to our unemployment
burdens by allowing immigrants
to land on our shores? They are
strangers and should be barred
out absolutely. Why should we
assume the responsibility of their
support? Why should we rob our
own citizens of employment?
Senator Robert Reynolds has
introduced a bill, Number S-409.
that will stop immigration. in the
United States for those desiring
permanent residence for a period
of ten years, or until such a time
as the Department of Labor can
certify that unemployment in the
United States does not exceed
three million.
The Senator doubtless had in
mind Madam Perkins, who failed
to deport immigrants who were
unlawfully in this country. for in
this bill he has made it a felony
| for any official who tries to de-
feat the purpose of this act by
failing to enforce it.
It is indeed sad commentary
when we have to make law to
compel an official to respect his
oath of office and enforce the
law.
In a recent speech in Congress,
Senator Reynolds stated: I'VE
have expended billions of dollars
in an effort to provide employ
ment for the unfortunate men
and women. Unemployment.
therefore, is indeed mammoth
problem, and our huge unemploy-
ment record exists despite the
fact that three million of our peo-
pie are on the relief rolls, and
that four million people in the
