FLoRIDA's FIvE-srAR COUNTY

In these days when practically every
political subdivision is bent on increasing
its taxes or in disregarding any movement
to economize, it is easy enough to under
stand why the Florida National Bank ''sa-
lutes" Collier county, whose officials have
steadily cut down taxes and, at the same
time promoted the interests. of the county
in greater degree than they are promoted
in spendthrift counties
The bank calls Collier "FlOrida's five
star county :, and cites these instances il
bearing out that designation:
/. Taxes reduced from $405,225 in 1929
to $50, 402 in 1914.
2 Refusal to accept federal aid be-
cause Collier county cares for her own"
3. One hundred percent collection of
all taxes since 1923.
J. Reduction of outstanding indebt-
edneSs from S3,614,406 in 1929 to $685.
700 in 1914.
5 Continued development of roads
and schools while taxes were being re-
duced
The bank declares, What good bust
ness management has accomplished in Col
Her county can also be accomplished by
good management in other counties
The latter part of that statement can
be- expanded aptly to include cities also;
kEfor that matter, any type of business, pub
ic5 or private.
& 2 4 may be said that good management
lis accomplished far more frequently in
private enterprise than in political sub
division, and the reason for that fact is not
far to trace. Private business is conducted
more carefully for the simple reason that
the people concerned in its operation have
their own money invested
Yet, why should not public officials
be as careful ir spending the taxpayers
money as they are their own. If they did
that-t may be said justly they should be
more careful in spending other peoples
money than their own-we would have
more counties like Golfers in Florida
more counties like Golfers throughout the
country,
But it is sad commentary on the acts
| of the general run of our public officials
| that they cannot bring themselves to feel
that their office is a public trust and that
! it should be administered strictly as a pub
lie trust, as is done in Collier county In
stead, too many of our public officials take
the view that is epitomized in this ejacu-
latlon, "Ah, what's the difference-it's the
city's money! States" or 'countys" may
be substituted for ''city's', for many pub
liciPfficials of all: classes are so stepped in

ing their salaries and keeping their eyes

AMAZING FIRE-POWER

The development Of rocket projectors
and the use of rockets has been one of the
features of the present war
The rocket, which originated in an
Gent times, is being widely used by the
Army. the NaNypapd the Air Force Fired
from multiple-barrel projectors, the rock
els carry considerable authority.
While details of the projectors used
by sAmerican forces are not available. the
British, according to dispatch from Lon
don, used rocket guns with 80 barrels. For
laying down "barrage of fire" the rocket
is an ideal weapon and the new protector
is considered zone of the wars most dew
astating weapons"
While the rocket cannot replace artil-
lery, it seems to be very effective when
concentrated in supporting fire. The Brit
ish War Office points out that a battery of
rocket projectors can be handled by less
than 200 men while the equivalent fire
power from 5.5-inch guns demands approx
matey 5000 men.

Major Stephenson plunged into

three other men with him, two in

with warm friendliness, introdgc-
