The human mind has some queer

sinner but the ninety-nine honorable, hon.
est and just are the forgotten ones, they
have only done their duty. so why bother
about them So it is with the honest tax
payer. he does his duty from year to year,
and it is expected of him. On the other
hand, the tax-dOdger is constantly being
pampered and offered allowances and he
always waits for them for they are sure. to
come. The taxpayer, having paid his tax
es promptly, cannot avail himself of the
tax reductions offered at intervals. BY this
process it is obvious that the once good tax
payer will become metamorphosed into a
perennial tax-dodger. The result is disas-
trous. Employees of governing agencies
are not paid promptly, while the police are
faced with the temptation of graft and
often yield Thus the tax-dodger virtually
becomes partner in crime with the crooks

guilt.

KEY TO ROAD PROBLEM

read about the answer that came from
Washington in response to the county and
city resolutions calling for congressional
action or presidential decree to make the
Overseas Highway a military road.
1t appears-and The Citizen joins
many others here in regrets-that the
army and navy departments do not con-
slider, il. policy to: take over our highway
as military unit in the defense program.
Both. have chosen. to believe that the dan
ger existing with the wooden bridges is
of minor Importance to them, what with
other avenues open to bringing supplies
to tire bases here.
We cannot quite agree with that Opin-
ion. This column has stated only recently
the need for lettering road conditions on
our route to military bases along with the
nationwide program to do the same for
other bases.
However. it seems expedient that Key
West turn, at least for the moment, from
thoughts of a military road to other plans
that should be pushed Immediately to
gain completion of the road extension pro-
gram.
The same advices from Washington
gave the key to the road problem. The
solution. as most of US have long suspected,
lies with the state ADMINISTRATIONS, we
appear to be just about back where we
started in the deal. But watt
1t will be recalled that Governor Cone
about month before the May primaries,
when he visited Key West-made mention
of the highway and the possibility of get
ting the project on the approved list. Then
State Road Department head, Arthur
Hale, indicated too, at the same time, that
something might be done about getting
our highway completed. We waited, as
we've done so long, to see what would de-
velop. Nothing did.
Since, however, the cause received a
favorable sign from Mr.. Cone when he
was heard to state that he was "gOing to
see that Key West got its highway. He
appreciated the vote given him at the May
7th primary, and this was to be his token
of thanks to us.
In view of this expression, and in di-
rect line with best advice of Washington
members of Congress from Florida, all
agencies should now concentrate on def
mite group of resolutions and other COM
munications to Governor Cone and the
State Road Department to lay plans for
early start on the highway completion
work. We have been assured that the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads stands
more than willing to appropriate one-half
of the cost to build the extension from
Big Pine Key to this city-also, expense
of bringing the road up to snuff from
the mainland to Matecumbe.
Strike while the iron is hot, is the
motto that should guide all agencies in
Key West at this time. Regardless of past
failures and disappOintments, it seems
highly important that the full-steam- ahead
signal be given to final plea to get state
approval of the project ard a definite ap
preparation set aside for the work.

FARM PROGRAM WILL
INCREASE new SEEDLINGS

Maryland farmers who participate
in the 1910 AAA Farm Program will
have the opportunity to continue and
increase new seedlings of legumes and
grasses, as they have had under past
AAA programs. Planting of soil
building legumes and grasses is
practice encouraged by the AAA for
improving the soil and controlling
erosion. In 1888, the last year for
which state figures are available,
Maryland farmers cooperating in the
AAA sowed 562,OO2 acres of such soil
building crops as the clovers and al
falfa. In 1887, they planted 446,248
acres of legumes and grasses, and in
1886 306,858 acres. Worcester County
farmers alone sowed 1913 acres of
these crops in 1888. New seedlings of
legumes and grasses in Worcester
County in 1889 totaled about S,863
acres, the County AAA Committee es-

FARM HAND KILLED
BY ELECTROCUTION

William l.. Weaver, %, farmland
was electrocuted when he came in
contact with an electric wire estimat-
ed to carry about $4,000 volts.
1t is believed that he touched the
wire which had been knocked from
a REA pole at Masters Corner, Kent
county, Delaware, following an acci-
dent in which an auto operated by FL
wood Shute crashed into the pole,
severing the high powered wires.
The fatality occurred shortly after
the auto mishap, Weaver having been
attracted to the scene by the crash.
Privates Leon McCaulley and Fred
Lord of the state police saw the live
wire on the side of the road, cleared
traffic from the spot and were on
their way to call the electric company
to shut off the power when they heard
a scream.
Returning, they found Weaver's
body. The head was badly burned
and all efforts at resuscitation fail
ed.
The H dy was moved from the wire
by Russell Hance of Harrington.
Weaver had been staying with FAM
lily near Harrington. He is survived
by a sister, Mrs. Laura Melvin, of
Dover.
A coroner's jury returned verdict
that the victim met an accidental
death by electrocution.
