THE STATE OF THE WAR

In considering the state of the war in
Europe it is we'll to remember that the out
standing accomplishment to date, has
been the German conquest of Poland. AL
ready Polish prisoners are at work, assist
ing Germany to overcome the shortage of
manpower, and the resources of the for
mer republic are being rapidly developed
to assist the Reich in withstanding the eff
fects of the British blockade.
'-. The second great factor in the present
struggle is the slow, steady and successful
operation of the blockade, instituted
against German shipping. AS a result
Germany is cut off from vital supplies,
particularly oil, which is necessary to the
operation of any long-continued struggle.
While the blockade is not spectacular it
produces results.
The third development of the situa-
ton in Europe is the emergence of Russia
as an imperialistic power. Taking adj
vantage of the preoccupation of Germany,
the Soviet has moved rapidly to acquire
commanding position in the eastern Baltic
and diplomats continue to watch for in
dications of Russian designs in the Balkan
area
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-12-22

Sale of Murphy Act lands by the
Florida Internal Improvement Fund will
soon get under way in Monroe County
Complete details of the procedure to be
followed by former owners and others
seeking to acquire these lands have been
given in The Citizen after a summary of
documents'received by Circuit Court Clerk
Ross C. Sawyer agent for the Internal I'M
provement Fund in this county.
Study of the information so far re-
leased by the state body shows that the
delinquent taxpayers who lost the prop
critics by failing to redeem them under the
terms of the Murphy Act again get the
best of the deal. They may reacquire
their properties by paying for suitable ad-
vertisements covering the sale, and then
are given an opportunity to meet the high
est bids, if their own bids should be lower,
when all bids under a certain sale are
opened by the Internal Improvement Fund
Trustees at Tallahassee.
Of Importance to the paying tax
payers of the county is the fact that when
the delinquent property is sold it is i'm
mediately restored to the county tax roll.
Since it seems highly improbable that the
average holder of these properties Is likely
again to become delinquent taxpayer,
the sales should gradually restore lot of
land to the tax roll. The present burden
of taxation will be spread out over wider
number of taxpayers, thus making the
total load lighter for all while giving the
The Citizen voices the opinion of
large section of the taxpaying public when
it expresses the hope that never again will
the State Legislature and the states adj
ministrativc officers give delinquent tax
payers a better break than those who pay
their taxes. Those who pay the tax bill
should be given break for change.
Monroe county property is becoming
more valuable every day. The prospect of
running fresh water supply, an improved
highway and greater activity in the city of
Key West will still further enhance the
value of this land. In short, there will be
little excuse for the average taxpayer not
meeting his tax bill. The land specula-
tor holding his property for higher price
by the pretext that he has no cash should
not be coddled by our legislators, city,
county or state.
If the land speculator was forced to
sell some of his holdings to pay taxes the
paying taxpayers should not be called
upon to bear an unfair portion of the load
needed to make public improvements and
maintain public services. Why should one
man pay for improvements and services
enhancing the value of the Spectators
land?

PAINFUL" ADJUSTMENTS AHEAD

We regret to bring up the subject, but
Mr. Isador Iubin, Commissioner of Labor
Statistics, predicts that prolongation of the
European War will increase American
prices and bring about a "period of pain
full economic adjustment in the U. s.
We dislike this painful economic adj
justment" phrase. SO far as we are con-
cerned, we are about satisfied with past
experiences with regard to such adjust
ments. The nation, as whole, has al
ready had a prolonged period of painful
economic adjustment and it is too bad that
an economist of Mr.. Lubin's reputation for
sees another period of stress ahead for
US all.
