A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

When the United States completes its
two-ocean Navy and has an aerial force
equal to that of any other nation, the world
may be at peace again.
Thereupon so-called patriots will arise,
throughout the nation, to assert that we do
not need our warships and that it costs too
much to maintain our air fleets. The cry for
economy will sound, with emphasis upon
how mary schoolhouses. hospitals and
libraries could be built with the money that
we spend upon Navy. Army and Air Force.
Again the pacifists will proclaim the
advent of universal peace, with brotherly
love ruling the peoples of the world. There
will be another advocacy of disarmament
to prevent war There will be aureate pie
lures of new era offering maEkind the OPP
portunity to relegate war to the relic rooms.
When this propaganda begins to be
heard in this country. LET US hope that some
cIear-headed patriots viii have sense
enough to remember the desperate need of
the United States at this time. of guns,
ships. tanks and planes. II it is not too
much To expect from the fates that rule the
destiny of men. LET US also express the wish
that some intelligent statesman of the
future day will put the spotlight on the
>ullen peoples who will. even then. be arm
ing themselves for revenge

TAXES AND REAL ESTATE

The question of taxation affects every
individual in Key West although there may
be some who have the idea that they escape
them. If one avoids direct leVies, however,
there is no way to escape the indirect taxes.
National defense will naturally cost a
large sum and higher taxation is rot only
inevitable but welcomed by patriotic AM
orleans, almost without exception. Con-
sequently no one should be misled by this
discussion which relates to real estate taxa
ton.
DR.. William H. Husband, of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board, says that real
estate sis being crucified on cross of
taxes" He thinks our tax systems are
archaic ard suggests three changes to ease
the burden now on real estate
He advocates: "a reasonable tax ex-
emption for low-eost homes; GU establish
ment of fair ratio between the tax burden
and income return; (3l provision for rea-
sonable tax-serving facilities.
There may be differences of opinion
as to the suggestions made, and we are not
ready to endorse them, but they serve as a
point for the beginning of discussion that
may lead to better system of taxation, es-
pecially as it affects real estate.

THE CAPTAIN LEAVES

The feeling most of us have expert
enced in waiting for the new boss to take
ever, is affecting Key Vests naval station
this week as the sailors wait to have their
first look at Capt. Russell Crenshaw, who
will relieve Capt Walter F. Jacobs today.
Captain Jacobs, in turning over his
command, has every right to a feeling of
p de in the station and in the work which
has been accomplished during his 15-inonth
~tay here
At the moment, it is a growing con-
Germ and the job awaiting Captain Cren-
haw carries far more responsibility than
it did when Captain Jacobs first was sent to
Key West. At that time, with Lieut..
Comdr. Fort Callahan holding all of the
executive posts and the only commissioned
officer at the station, the Key West COM
manSant had few men and little equipment
under his direction.
Today, after spending some $1,000
600 in improvements and quadrupling the
number of men here, Uncle Sam has a high
ly valuable piece of real estate in the Key
West station.
A veteran officer and executive, Cap
tain Jacobs has won the respect both of his
own men and of the city and county lead
ers here, with whom he has dealt on various
occasions.
To many of the enlisted men and to
the city at large, a man in Captain Jacobs
position almost GENES under the head of an
unccr firmed rumor. Naval regulations
and the position given him by his rank force
INC captain to remain aloof from his COM
and, making it appear as if he were too
remote to have any particular influence on
the station.
Actually, however, either in the army
or navy, any command draws surprising
amount of it's character and effectiveness
from the man at the top. Captain Jacobs,
when he turns over the reins to Captain
Crenshaw, will know that he has done
good job.

had half dozen inner exits. But
we found abundant reward in
watching them, for their beauty
was exquisite, their movements
full of grace. And once we saw a
Fourleyed Butterfly fish, also
fascinating, but in ivory, lemon,
and black, with them.
In the other pool which is
longer. there was school of
gray snappers, so or more, eight
inches long, that Tapped heads
and tails as they roved to and
fro. AS we watched them, a black
angel appeared, large as a bread

another, each going about alone.
and having nothing to do with
the plebeian snappers. Elegance
was in every movement, and
in their dress of beaded black
brocade; no wonder they were
superior and exclusive. To and
fro they went, visiting one after
another of their own houses and
rock castles on the cliff sides of
their pool, where we noted also,
another little blue angel had a
mountain villa. We watched them
for two thrilling hours, and after
all with no regrets for it was
like a delightful fairy tale of
happiness; no horrible giant or
ogre, not even ourselves, to bring
tragedy to their crystal world.
That is, we saw none. But they
were there, hidden in the dark
caves of the rocks; for no fairy
tale would be complete without
them.

1t is quite natural, l suppose. for
the good people of the 'Glades
area to view with alarm the pub
licity given their section by Theo-
dore Pratt in his Saturday Eve
ming Post article Land of the
Jock"
Their reaction is about the same
as that a horticulturist would feel
if a gorgeous rose of his creation
was publicized alone for its
thorny stem. -
The condition Mr.. Pratt de-
scribes is typical not only of the
par ticular area covered in the
story but also of many other
points throughout the state and
nation. 1t is true whenever migra-
tory labor assemblies and weary
souls seek relaxation, be it North,
South, East or West.
There are dumps and dives,
dance halls and inns, from tie
slums and waterfronts of coastal
cities to the open highways of the
West These and the look joint"
are sisters under the skin-no
better and no worse.
Such establishments flourish in
, the shadow of great industrial
plants to which we point with
pride. Their honky-tonk music
blends with the chimes of church,
es as they call us to worship, and
they serve a strata of society as
effectively as do our swanky cock
tail bars and flashy cabarets.
There is much Theodore Pratt

progress and development of the

There is deep clear pool
two of them, beside the high
way, where the tide pouring over
the shoals runs like q ripping
brook down the median ridge
and turns both ways into the
pools. Beyond. the wide level
sea meadows run far to the
nearest green island of man

of Boca Chica almost at the hori-
zon, where the arches of the
abandoned railroad bridge lie
like chain across the pass. Sea-

the bridge approach are these
two pools, and along the bank
they have piled stones like pump
kins and cabbages to prevent the
fill from washing away. The tide
goes up and down; but always
there are little rock fish playing
in and out the crevices of the
rock pile. There are Sergeant
