GARNER GOES OUT ON A LIMB

There was a tie vote in the Senate on
an appropriation bill for reduction in
Civil Aeronautics Administration expenses.
Vice-President Garner said
"On this vote the yeas are "a and the
nays are "a The Vice. President votes
yea" Thus, $115,259 was stricken from
the appropriation. Such an amount is not
big in Government affairs. But this de-
sertion of President Roosevelt and the
New Deal may prove to be very i'm
pOrtant
Mr.. Garner has been out of sympathy
with many of Mr.. Roosevelts moves for
two or three years. But Garner has all
along been one of the big Four" whom
President Roosevelt called to the White
House every time any Administration
measure was in danger. Garner is one OF
the few men of the country who does not
hesitate to discuss differences of opinions
with the President.
When Garner ANNOUNCED his candi-
dacy for President the comment from the
White House was to the effect that the
ce-Fresident had made frank and clear
statement and that he had a perfect right
to aspire to the office of President.
The Vice-President has perfect
right to "go'' against the President and
vote as he did on one of the items in the
Presidents budget.
But, the fact is that Garner has gone
cut on a limb The President is not going
let the desertion go unnoticed. The
parting of the ways between the President
md the Vice-President will not be post
poned very long.

CASA MARINA NOTES


JOHN L. LEWIS. head of the
CIO, was a surprise visitor yes
terday at the Casa Marina. Mr.
Lewis, who arrived in Key West
in the morning by boat, spent
the early hours at the Casa Ma
rina, leaving to board the boat
with several friends with whom
he has been doing fishing among
the Keys He would not COM
NIT himself as to his future plans
but rather spent the time inquir-
ing about Key West and what
kind of a winter the Island City
has had. He remarked how well
he liked it here, especially the
climate, which he says is more
agreeable than any place in the
United States.

A majority of the city council, unless
it hears a strong protest from the paying
taxpayers of the city, seems intent on
passing a resolution authorizing a reduc-
prior to 1886. In other words, delinquent
taxpayers would be permitted to clear
their properties of back taxes on basis of
80 per cent of the amounts they owe the
city.
From the standpoint of those who
have paid their taxes and have thus lived
up to all their obligations as citizens, this
resolution seems like bitter pill to swal-
low. Naturally those few who are hold
ing large parcels of real estate and who
have been unable or unwilling to sell any
of their holdings to meet taxes are heartily
in favor of the resolution pending before
council. They can continue to hold their
properties on the basis of paying taxes at
fraction of the sums paid by others.
For the broad public interest this
resolution is unfair and harmful Our
present city council, that is the majority,
was elected on a platform of economy in
municipal operation and of businesslike
collection of taxes. Some Of the delin-
quent taxpayers have paid the back taxes
in the belief that the city council was 60
ing to collect from all other delinquents.
To grant the congenital tax dodgers
another tax holiday would be unjust and
improper.
There is no further excuse for failure
to pay taxes in this city. Business is bet
ter. Commercial activities are picking up.
Every house fit for human habitation is
rented. Good residential and business
property is in demand. The relief load is
going down. More people are working
here on private or governmental jobs.
The corner of prosperity has been
turned
Why give any more relief to deln-
quent taxpayers? Why not give the pay
ing taxpayers a break by easing their tax
burden by collecting from all other tax
payers? If property owner has no
money to pay his back taxes, why not let
him sell lot or two he has been holding
at the expense of paying taxpayers? Do
the city councilmen favoring this new
move to help delinquent taxpayers know
that some delinquents have been refusing
to sell their perties-because they want
to hold the properties for higher prices?
Do those councilmen realize those property
owners who are delinquent in their taxes
are holding their lands at the expense of
the paying taxpayers? Do those council
men realize that refusing to sell such land
is retarding the city's growth and develop
ment?
The Citizen believes it is time for the
city council to end this perpetual con-
sideration of delinquent taxpayers. Let's
consider the man who pays his taxes to
keep this city running.

POPPY DAY IN POEM

Poppies for memorial,
Love that never dies,
Thoughts of sacrificial lives
Which they symbolic.
Pledges we make yearly when
Poppy Day shall come;
Wear these peoples DER our
hearts
In Memoriam.
Peoples with unselfish help,
Service as a goal;
Each a symbol into which
We have breathed a soul.
Crimson petals, courage own
Green leaves, hope convey
Challenge to our patriotism,
Will we buy today?
Poppies for remembering,
Counting up the cost;
Agony of grim suspense,
Lives in battle lost.
Memories of weary miles,
Hungry and footsore,
Marching in the mud and
rain;
Memories of War.
Poppies for reminding us,
Greed and hate should
cease;
Cruelty and waste of war,
Pledge to work for peace.
Dreams of here a better
world,
Ever free from war;
Visions of the earth at peace,
Safe forevermore.
Messengers from trembling
hands
Soon to be at rest,
Bidding us to love our land,
Give to it our best.
We remember solemnly
What each flower imparts;
Reverently buy and wear
Poppies DER our hearts.

The downward revision was the
fourth in a row.
Last week production was at 77.3

it was 861 per cent, year ago
534 per cent.
Steel men said new orders were
still running far behind shipments.
Many saw little chance for pick
up in demand until automobile
makers come into the market, pos
sibly later this month or in March,
CLEVELAND, Feb. 5 [P).-The cold
wave helped steel production tobog-
gan last week Operations fell off

Steel reported today.
This is the lowest point since last
September, but it compares favor
ably with SO per cent year ago.
Extreme winter weather through
out most of the country cut down
activity in building materials, pipe,
wire products and galvanized sheets.
Revival in building is indicated
for spring" the magazine Steel said.
There is little pessimism in the
industry Notwithstanding the lag in
orders and steadily declining opera
tions.
