Economic .HighHgkts

Guiding some of those Who talk
the loudest about economy, are
breaking their necks seeking to
win the great farm beRiVote.
- Second, Washington observers
think the President has played a
very clever trick on Congress. He
has simply dumped the budget
problem in the lawmakers laps.
He has offered them a. budget
which, though it may be Geo.
nomically wise, is full of political
dynamite Congressman are only
human. AS the records abund-
antly prove, they are all for
economy when it hits some dis
trict other than their own, and
all for spending when their con-
stituents are to be the benefici-
aries. The exceptions to this
rule are few and far between,
though they do exist. So the
probability is that Congress will
up the proposed expenditures in
many if not most of the divi-
sions.
So far as the prospect of new
taxes is concerned, there seems
to be more smoke than fire
Again, the fact that this is an
election year makes Congressman
of both parties exceedingly re-
luctant to: pile more burdens on
the taxpayers They think it
politically Q safer, according to
those who make a business of
watching Washington affairs, to
let the deficit rise. In other
words. new taxes are possible,
but not probable. If new taxes
are imposed, they will probably
be of a character which will di-
rectly affect comparatively few
people.
To return to the budget mes
sage, Paul Mallon summed it up
aptly when he wrote: "On its
smiling face it appears to be a
stern economizing venture. Act
ually it contemplates the largest
spending program in, New Deal
history. The fiscal problem is
up to Congress now.

KEY WEST
By ].

Take a trip to Sea in your auto
On the highway down the Keys,
And ride for miles an coral isles
That rise from SAPPHIRE seas.
'Tis like a jeweled necklace -
On Mother Natures breast,
Whose jewels rare are islets fair
And the fairest is Key West.
Key West the Island City,
Gem of the southern cline,
Where tropical trees sway in the
breeze
And the sun shines all the time.
Where the days are long and
golden
And the skies are always fair,
Where the song of the seas comes
on the breeze
That cools the fragrant air.
Where the sunset turns the
ocean
To sea of living gold.
When a perfect day has passed
away,
Then dusky night takes hold.
And one by one the stars come
out
Like fairy lanterns cleaning
To softly light the silent night
While Old Key West is dream
ing.

MORE OMEN ON GUARD

When President Roosevelt declared a
limited state of emergency at the outbreak
of the war last September, he authorized
an increase of $50 in the force of Omen
serving under Director J. Edgar Hoover of
the Federal Bureau Of Investigations.
These men were added in order to better
guard against foreign spying, sabotage
and other subversive activities.
In the new budget recently submitted
to Congress, provision is made for still
another 100 G-mer bringing the force un-
der Mr. Hoover up to LOLA. Reports of sus-
picious activities on the part of aliens and
others are said to be pouring into the FBI
offices at the rate of about 200 day, and
while most of these are no doubt ground
less, many of them are important and all
must be investigated.
1t is we'll established that several
foreign governments maintain large num-
bers of secret agents in this country, and
the danger they present to our national
defense program is most serious.

WATER HOPES BRIGHTER

Everything seems at this time to point
to an early solution Of the problem of fl
nancing the construction of a fresh water
supply system from the mainland
Members of the Florida Keys Aque-
duct Commission, a state police sub-divi-
sion charged with the problem of supply
ing the keys and Key West with a better
water supply system, have been advised
that the federal lending agencies now look
with general approval on the application
for funds to finance the project
Engineering representatives of the
commission are to appear in Washington
late this week before the engineers of the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation and
the Works Progress Administration to dis
cuSs the tentative plans for the water sup
ply system. 1t is estimated now that siz-
able pipeline with pumps and other aux
Hilary equipment can be installed along
the keys to this city for sum approx
mating $1,3OO,OOO. A loan of 100000
from RFC and grant of WPA of $780,
600 for labor to be recruited in Key West
and Monroe County are being sought.
If the federal engineers approve the
tentative plans and the financing applica-
tiOns, these must be moved up to higher
officials OF both the RFC and WPA for
final action before they are submitted to
the President for approval. In the mean
time, with the approval Of the engineers,
commission experts can proceed with prep
aration of detailed plans and specifica-
tons. A survey of the pipeline route is
being completed for that purpose.
While there are several points along
the line of final approval where the prof.
ect may run into snag, the general out
look for the system looks brighter now
than at any other recent date. For one
thing the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commits
the United States Navy in procuring the
water system 1t is reliably reported that
at least one naval officer has been as
signed to work in conjunction with COM
mission engineers in promoting the
project
Key West has water distribution
system ready and waiting for the supply of
water proposed under the project. The
minute he water arrived at the upper end
Of the island it can be pumped into the
city's distribution system. These lines
lead to all sections of the city, to the naval
station, the army barracks, Fort Taylor
and elsewhere.
May good luck mark this latest eff
fort to give Key West and Florida Keys
this great Improvement!
