It Can Happen Here

1t has happened in New
York.
1t can and will happen here,
or anywhere else in the United
States, unless a halt is called
on New Deal squanderlng
which must be paid for by
more and higher taxes.
Take look at the New
York picture and see how you
like it.
When you buy a pack OF
popular brand cigarettes III
New York you pay six cents
in taxes to the Federal Gov
ernment, two cents to the state
and one cent to the city. All
Of the tax paid to the state
and to the city and two cents
OF the six cents paid to the
Federal Government goes to
cover the cost Of relief because
New Deal folly has steadily
reduced the number Of Jobs III
private industry and left the
nation with more than 10000,
900 unemployed.
Other New York City le.
yies for relief are:
A two per cent sales tax Oh
all merchandise except food
But if you take a friend to dine
With YOU in a lunch room and
the bill is more than one dol
lar you have to pay a three
per cent tax even on food.
A three per cent tax on Il.
quor.
When you turn on the gas
or electricity, the utility com
panys passes on to you a one
per cent tax on its gross re
ceipts, the railroads pass
along a similar three per cent
tax when you buy a ticket,
and when you make puf-
chase OF any kind at a store
which has gross earnings OF
$4,000 a year, YOU have to
pay your share Of the .O2 pei
cent tax on this gross.
There's only one way to
make sure this won't happen
in your community:
Gust the New Deal and cut
unemployment by making
more steady jobs at good Wag
es in private industry.

OUR STATE DEPARTMENT

Always highly important, our Depart
ment of State comes into special prom
inence in times of international stress like
the present, the Secretary of State being
charged, under the direction of the Presi-
dent, with duties concerned with our re-
lations with foreign nations.
Our Secretaries of State have usually
been among our ablest statesmen, six of
them-Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John
Quincy Adams, Van Buren,, and Buchanan
having become Presidents, while Jay,
Marshall and Hughes became chief JUS
tees of the Supreme Court
Among other more notable former
heads of the department may be men,
toned Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, John
C. Calhoun, James G. Blaine, John Sher-
man, John Hay, Elihu Root and William
Jennings Bryan, some of whom were I'M
successful candidates for the office of
Presidentsd The present secretary Cordell
Hull. has long been one of the nations out
standing political figures.
In recent years the State Department
has had its hands full of delicate inter
national problems, especially those grow
ing out of Italy's conquest of Ethiopia,
Japan's encroachments on the mainland of
Asia, and Germany's aggressions in Eu-
rope.
The present tense international situa-
ton is placing upon the department bur-
dens ard responsibilities heavier than at
any time since the Word War.

AS OTHERS SEE KEY WEST

, Every real friend of Key West will do
well to give serious thought to letter re-
Gently published in The Citizen.
The letter was written by an "out-
sider' who has come to make this city bis
home. It deals with a tendency on the
part of netive-born folk to look askance at
any suggestion for the advancement of this
city's interests if such suggestion is put
forward by one born elsewhere.
There is truth in the Outsiders"
plant, of course There are those who
resent any suggestion, however apt, how
ever 1well-timed, however automatically
put, if 1t, comes from one not born in the
community. s-4 s,,f,s.
There are obvious reason why this is
not only an unfair but an unsafe attitude.
AS the writer Of the letter in question
points out, the man. who comes from the
outside to make his home here, obviously
does so because he feels it good place to
live. 1t is but natural, therefore, that he
should like to'make it an even better place,
if possible. When he makes suggestions to
this end it is only reasonable to suppose
that he is actuated only by the best of
motives.
Again, an outsider is more likely to
see obvious shortcomings in almost any
direction. His attention is attracted to
them by their contrast to what he has
known elsewhere. Having lived here al
ways, Key Westers are much more likely
to pass aunnoted unfavorable conditions
glaringlyn a4barent to men and Awomen
with fresheri viewpoints. de.sA1i
Finally, Key West needs to make her.
self attractive to outsiders if she is to be-
come the city she deserves-the city she
may About this, there can be no sort of
question: And, assuredly, in such effort,
former outsiders are more competent to
advise than any other can hope to be.
Admittedly, even implied criticisms
are distateful, TO matter whence they
come. 1t is equally true that it is but
natural to resent outside" interference.
But it will be well for us all to remember
that when man comes to Key West to
live, he is no longer an outsider, how
ever long he may have lived elsewhere.
And the very fact that he has lived else
where-that he knows from experience
what other communities do-should make
his advice all the more valuable, all the
more welcomed.
