A NEEDED LAW

The enactment of the Transportation
months of labor on the part of the House
and Senate committee on interstate COM
merce, labor begun after Congress re-
ceived the recommendations of the Presi-
dents special committee of six, consisting
of an equal number of representatives of
management and of labor.
While the law does not by any means
include all the recommendations made by
the Presidents committee, it does accom-
plsh certain things desirable from rail
way standpoint, and also in the public in
tereSt.
It declares a national policy of treat
inc all modes of transportation fairly and
impartially; makes beginning toward
regulation of water carriers; improves the
mechanics of consolidation; relieves some
of the railway burde-. of reduced land

LEARNING ABOUT GOVERNMENT

The average citizen of municipality,
a county or state, knows relatively very
little about what is being done by the vari-
Gus forms of government.
The other day the International City
Managers Association compiled a list of
PSF items considered worthy of inclusion
in annual municipal reports. While most
cities will not be able TO report on every
one of the items. each has special items of
local Import.
The problem of acquainting tn aver
age citizen with the details of government
i one tina has been faced by many public
servants. Most of them would like to give
greater information but, very often, they
fear the result of half-baked thinking and
partial information.
The Citizen believes in greater pub
licity for governmental activities because
it is sure that the citizens of Key West do
not comprehend the full range of govern
mental activity What method should be
adopted to present the information to citi-
Zens is a proper subject of discussion but
leng ny statistical tabulatiOns are rarely
the best way to inform the public.
With that in mind, the management
of The Citizen will welcome any sugges-
tions as to the best method in presenting
news OF government in this city and
county Publicizing of meetings held,
with editorial comments from time to time,
is one way to inform citizens of what is
oroin0 on Further than that some things
cen be done to CT ate more interest in
things governmental. What is your idea?
In the meantime and in recognition of
the Importance of the subject, we will go
on headlining activities of our govern
mental representatives in their efforts to
provide better city. We hope, naturally,
that they succeed.

THREE YEARS TO THINK

We see by the newspapers that man
in Louisiana has been sentenced to three
years in prison for refusing to register I'M
der the Selective Service Act.
The man says that the preamble to
the Constitution does not give the govern
ment the right to deprive him of his right
of free liberty" Moreover, he AYERS,
there is nothing in America worth fight
ing for
During the service of his sentence he
will probably learn little bit about the
Constitution and he might even conclude
that there is something worth fighting for
in this country.

PEACE?

Peace on the continent is said to be
the watchwOrd of the German foreign Of
flee.
To get the so-called peace the Ger
mans have ruthlessly attacked their neigh
bors, disregarded pledges and run rough
shod over natural rights of individuals.
Suppose that peace is made, under
the impact of the German military triumph.
How long will it last? Does Germany ex-
pect all peoples of Europe TO aequiesee in
TeutOnic supremacy and be content for
ever with the humble role of servant TO the
superior Germans?

bert J. Rushton for a sweeping opin-
ion clarifying many of the major

In four-page letter, Brown
asked.

ices rendered the state in any capa-
city after January /. 1871, without
first securing the approval OF the

mission?
2. Has the amendment removed
the auditor generals traditional
responsibility for proper approval
OF payrolls?
3. Can new appointees after Janu-
airy be given pay checks without
certificatlon by the commission?
4. Must "all persons selected for
any service in the state after Janu-
airy /, excepting those specifically
exempted by the amendment" be
selected solely through methods
ordered by the commission?
5. Does the present statutory com
mission retain authority until re-
lieved by the new constitutional
commission. and. II so, what func-
lions can It perform?

tons | have presented are com

ing that his questions arose from
bis fears that he might be held
responsible personally for Illegal
payment Of salaries to employees
affected.
Since the first payrolls covering

sented for payment early In Janu-
airy. it Is imperative that this ques-
ton be settled ediately."
