or with an honor" Mr.. Bruelheide
exposes the fallacy of that old
maxim.
South's opening bid marks him
with most of the missing high cards.
The opening lead is won in dummy
and the ten of spades is played.
Here is where North makes
mistake If he covers an honor with
an honor. If hey plays jack OF
spades on the ten, you can see that
declarer will develop two spade
tricks. He will lose only two spades
and two diamonds and will make his
contract.
If North refuses to cover with
the jack, only one spade trick can
be developed by declarer, and the
contract Is defeated.
NEXT: Establish high cards
quickly.

HOW MOTORISTS PAY

Representing the results of six years
of study, a report by Chairman Joseph B.
Eastman of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission appears to refute the contention
that highway transportation is subsidized
by the government The study was made
by Mr.. Eastman in his former capacity as
Federal coordinator of transportation.
The study regards the special taxes
levied on motor vehicles to finance high
way improvement and maintenance as the
equivalent of the railroads investment in
rails, right-of-way and other property. On
that basis, highway transport is seen as the
least subsidized of all modes of trans
portation.
In 1886 for example, it is stated that
the total net subsidy to transportation was
1913 million dollars. of which water trans
port received 66.6 per cent, the railroads
1876 per cent, air transport 1913 per cent,
and motor transport only Al per cent.
In the period from 1921 through 1887
the Federal, state and local governments
expended on highways the tremendous
sum of 81 billion dollars, of which all but a
few million dollars were paid by motor
vehicle users Thus, it is indicated by the
report. motor vehicle transport has always
paid its own way, and earned on merit the
competitive position it now occupies IN ma
tional transportation. Efforts to penallze
it would serve to handicap great and IN
dispensable transport facility.

ANOTHER TAX PROBLEM

Municipalities all over the State of
Florida will be determining shortly just
what they are going to do about the Su-
pre-ne Court decision that prevents the In
ternal Improvement Board from giving
deeds to Murphy Sale bidders on parcels
of land ON which city taxes have not been
paid.
The question is vital, in many re-
spects, chiefly because it throws NUM-
cipal tax problems into the Murphy Law
field in a manner that BODIES no particular
amount of good for the future. Hereto
fore-state and municipal taxes have been
levied and collected (perhaps) on sep
arate bases and with no relation to each
other. Now it appears that the cities are
being dragged into the Murphy picture of
delinquent tax-dOdging, and the outcome
is shrouded in much uncertainty.
The Key West City Council has SEIZED
uled this subject for first call position at its
regular meeting this week. 1t is antici-
patCd that the discussion will be quite
drawn out, and the vote, for or against Of
fering a settlement agreement along lines
suggested by the County Clerks AssOcia-
ton is not practicable at this time.
A delinquent tax measure is now in
force on the city books, and will be until
July 7th. By it, those who owe taxes over
long period of years, may clear them by
paying 80 per cert of the taxes due prior
to 1886. if the following years taxes are
paid in full. The response to this relief
hasn't been much to write home ABOUT. 1t
is not likely that many others will respond
before the deadline date.
But-now comes another, and a more
outstanding bit of catering to the tax
dodgers. We can we'll imagine that there
would be quite rush to clear city taxes if
persons who successfully bid for their tax
certificates in the Murphy sales can do so
at a cost of from S1.OO to $500 per par
cels Or, as another suggestion states
get receipted bill for maybe ten years
taxes by the payment of only the 1889
taxes.
The Citizen is in a prove the worth
of it, frame of mind on this question. 1t
will be much interested in the manner in
which it will be handled by the City COun-
Gil when it meets next Thursday night.

AMERICAN VACATIONS

AS much as five billion dollars has
been spent in year by Americans on vaca-

cert estimate With European travel cut
off more vacation money will be spent In
this country during the coming major holl-
day months than ever before in history.
Medical authorities assert that greater
attention is given to health building vaca-
lions, as against former tendencies to-
ward over-exertion, which caused more
physical harm than good
Heavy advance reservations are being
made in Michigan, as shown in records OF
the Battle Greek Sanitarium, a health CEN

ahead, the staff of the institution has I'M
dergone more efficient departmentallza-
ton in recent months, according to Dr..
