The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-01-02
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Key West greets 1910 with welcome
that rings with hearty sincerity that has
been sadly lacking in recent years.
For, beyond any manner of question,
the tide has turned, our ship is moving in
to safer waters and desirable charters are
waiting for our readiness to accept them.
The plotting of our course has been
delegated to our duty elected county and
city officials. Much will depend upon
their careful considerations of the problems
that will come before them for solution.
Upon us, the crew, the citizens of Key
West devolves the duty of clearing away
the evidences of those tedious days when,
beaten by the storms of adversely and ly-
ing hopelessly becalmed in the doldrums,
there was little to encourage enterprise or
activity in keeping our community "ship-
shape"
But this is 1910. Already we are
making good Roadway and the harbingers
of success are apparent at many points of
the compass.
The Barracks and the Naval Reserve;
the certainty of fresh water to fill the
mains already in place, the extension of a
modern highway from the mainland to
Key West and, above all, the evident pur-
pose Of many of the finest of people to es-
tablsh homes in the best climate in the
United States and in a city which has de-
cared its purpose to become a desirable
home fer desirable people and to present
cold shoulder to those energetic rackets
which every winter regard Florida cities
as choice hunting grounds. On every side,
the future is bright for Key West.
And now, let us heave overheard all
the cid prejudices the baseless suspicious,
the petty dislikes that, human nature be-
ing what it is, thrive and multiply on a ship
in distress.
We have something much better to do
than to nurse grudges. Let us, in the
words of Saint Paul, forgetting those
things which are behind, press on to the
mark of our high calling" as a community
and as individuals and face the new year,
and each new day in. it, and our neigh
bcrs old and new with smiling faces and
renewed trust in the future and in each
other Even in some unlikely quarters
the response will be heart-warming.
To all Key West and to the stranger
within our gates, A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

u. S. Budget Is Like Yours
1t Simply Can't Be Cut


members, or those from the cot
ton and tobacco belt, or the trans
Mississippi wheat states, to vote
for cutting that figure? If you
think SO, you have never seen a
congressman in the flesh.
Congress cut the emergency
relief appropriation last session,
but even then it reached the
somewhat staggering sum of ST.
755,000,000. That is barely half
what it has been at times. Con-
greSS is more likely to increase
that sum even for this year than
to cut it.
! Take the next item, the veter-
ans administration appropriation
of 1851, 093,000. That sum, too,
will increase, not decrease. Have
you heard any one arguing for a
reduction of the CCC? That cost
S295, 100000 this year.
Firing Won't Help
How about the Army? 1t got
$531 100000 in 1899, and the
sum was lacked up to $742,058,-
300 for the current 1910 fiscal
year. The President has already
asked another $118,0O0,0OO to pay
for increasing the Army imme-
diately. Moreover, only a small
amount of the total cost of the
new air program has been COW
iered by appropriations. Unless
the program is stopped in mid-air
mice pun, subj, more cash must
come.
The Navy got $625, O66, 900 in
1889 and $778, $4,000 in 1910. To
pay for ships already started
more must come next year. The
President has Jumped additional
Army and Navy needs into a
flat half billion. That will mean
an even two billion for defense.
Want to cut it?
You can't make a dent in such
figures by firing few dozen sec
retaries. If you can put your fin
ger on a single one of those APP
preparations likely to be cut by
the coming Congress we will be
glad to send you a picture of the
President laughing up his sleeve.

1t doesn't take a military expert to
know that the Red Army's attack on Fin
land so far at least is miserable flop. It's
high command is stupid, and the chief was
last week removed by Stain because of the
poor showing. Furthermore the troops of
Russia are poorly trained equipped and
disciplined its airplanes and motorized
equipment have been easy meat for the
Firms. An efficient army, such as the
German or French, experts say, would
have taken Finland in less than week.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Out
of a contemplated national bud
get of nine billion dollars Count
'em), it seems as if Congress
ought to be able to chiSel off a
couple of billion at least. But
when you begin looking at the
budget-item by item-you can't
escape the conclusion that there
will NOT be much trimming.
The congressional heart is
probably as hard as any other
hearth the mass. But the con-
gressional heart is never con-
fronted by the budget in the
mass. 1t is confronted by it
peacemeal. And the COMPRESSION
al heart, section by section,
melts. The long odds are that,
in the coming session of Con-
gress, the mass heart will melt
again, piecemeal, and there will
be no cutting down of appropria-
tons.
Congress can always make a
show and demonstrate that it cut
the budget-but that claim is al
ways a publicity cheat. The bud
get is what the various depart
ments ask for. AS a matter of
well-established practice they al
ways ask more than they expect
to get, although they will defend
every dollar as essential to the
continued national existence.
Congress Raises F.D.R.
The President gets first chance
at cutting the budget. He too is
past master at doing it the
skillful way. More than one con-
gresham will tell you that the
President does his heavy trim
ming in items which he expects
Congress will put back. The idea
is that it leaves him a margin so
he may be lenient with those
portions of the budget for which
he has shown special favor in re-
cent years-notably the Navy
and Army.
AS an example, he trimmed a
slug off farm benefits a couple of
years ago and suggested that
Congress could put it back only
if it was willing to raise the ex-
ira money by taxation. The
congressman didn't raise the
money but did put back the ap-
propriation-and the President
has been furnishing them verbal
ly ever since.
Take Individual appropriations,
then the point is clearer. For the
old time services of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, such as ex-
tension work, inspection, expert
ment stations, and the like, about
1891 100000 is needed. But the
Department of Agriculture ap-
preparation last year was $1,289,-
100000. Where did it all 60 to,
and why can't some be cut off?
Well, 1854, 100000 - two thirds
of billion-went out as soil con-
servation and benefit or parity
payments to cotton growers, to-
bacco growers, corn and wheat
growers. and farmers in general

NUM- SAYS FILMS ARE "TRIPE"

Paul NUM-, famous actor of the stage
and screen, says that motion picture films
are to a considerable extent, "tripe."
Mr. NUM- says that high-class pictures
ought to be subsidized just like a SYM
phony orchestra. The return on them is
insufficient. The criticism of Mr.. NUM-
may be entirely justified and we are in
clined to think that it is. Nevertheless the
motion picture is essentially program of
mass entertainment. Producers of pictures
must offer the public what the public is
willing to support. In time, as the public
taste improves, there will be demand for
high-class films and they will be produced.
OF course, in making these remarks,
we do not intend to endorse suggestive and
salacious films which are sometimes seen
upon the screen. Most of these pictures
would produce very little profit without
the advertising that they get from over
Jealous reformers. They should be barred
by effective supervision.
