NORTHROP WANTS TO KNOW WHY
Would Be Willing To Contribute To Such MoUe
WE CAN'T HAVE A CITY MANAGER

Have you ever suggested to
the voters of Key West the advis-
ability of looking around for a
City Manager for their city?"
Charles w. Northrop, new-citi-
zen of this city. asks this question
in a letter to the publisher of
The Citizen, sent from Coral
Gables where he and his wife are
staying for a short vacation.
The question awakened MEM
ories of the New City Charter
drive instituted by the Lions
Club and later turned over to a
Citizens Committee. In answer
to Mr. Northrup. the suggestion
of City Manager was thorough
ly covered by that committee at
the time changes in city govern
ment here were being discussed
and acted upon and has long
been advocated by The Citizen.
Many members of the Citizens
Committee recalled today how
the tide changed from that rad
ical move to one of more con-
servative nature in the effort to

Mr. Northrup goes on to say:

Is a crime to not bring out the

in the matter, but would be one
Of the first to follow the leader in
the matter of better government"
Mr.. Northrop and many others
who have witnessed the workings
of city governments under a City
Manager are apparently in accord
on this subject. They recall that
hundreds of cities throughout the
nation have changed over to that
form and have reaped, as a gen.
eral rule, immense benefits.
On the other hand, there are
those in Kew West that ask how
in the world any one man could
possibly pull Key West back up
to financial solvency" from the
depths in which it is now foun-
dering. The City Council at pres
ent is struggling hard with many
problems, they point out, and
have arrived at a practical stale
mate. Whether or not City
Manager could have done better
is a question that neither they
nor anyone else, as far as The
Citizen could learn, can possibly
guarantee.

NOTES
RISE In STATE
TAX STRUCTURE
PER CAPITA COST OF GOV.
EMINENT RISES FIVE
TIMES HIGHER THAN pop
ULATIoN INCREASE
Especial to The CItfzenl

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Sept
l7.-Per capita cost of state gov-
ernment has increased five times
as fast as the States population
during the past five years, ac-
cordIng to a statement released
here today by the Florida Tax
Revision League.
According to the Leagues
statement the per capita cost of
state government has increased
04% in the past five years.
whereas, the States population
has increased only 17Rs in the
same period.
The Leagues figures are based
on state government cost of s16.-
475,552, for 1884, figured against
the 1895 State Census which gave
the States population as 1906
S42; and the 1889 state govern
ment cost of $35, ,47O 500 figured
against the recent Federal Cen
sus which gives the 1910 popula-
ton as 1,877,791.
1T should be borne in mind.
says the League, "that this $685.
47O,500 is the cost of state gov
ernment only. Complete figures
on the cost of county, city, and
other local units of government
are not available. The total cost
OF state and local government
has been estimated to be S123.-
100000 approximately SOS. 90 per
capita"
The League says: There is
generally accepted principle in
business that as the volume in
creases, the cost per item de-
creases in direct proportion. This
principle apparently does not
apply to the cost of government
in Florida. In 1884, state gov
ernment cost S10.25 for each man,
woman. and child-white and
black. In 1899 this cost had in
creased to S18.89 per person-an
increase of 84ft, while popula-
ton was increasing 174t.
'One of the major problems
confronting the legislature when
it convenes next April will be
general revenue fund deficit of
several million dollars. A care
full study of the excessive in
crease in the cost of government
in recent years, with a view of
injecting economy and efficiency,
would aid materially in solving
this problem"

Even taxation to meet the in

The result of continuous an

twenty-one billions of dollars for
the seven New Deal years from

with an increase in the national

Although President Roosevelt
