property tax rates in American cities
during the next few years have no place
to go but up declares the National Mu-
nicipal Review, which points out that prop
erty taxes remain the principal source of
local revenue.
= While it is a fact that most municipali-
ties look to the property tax forth bulk of
their revenues there is no reason why this
condition. should continue indefinitely. The
property in town or city should not be the
only source of revenue although there is
justice in levying upon real estate for pub
lie improvements which, theoretically at
least, enhance the value of local property.
The cities and towns of the United
States, despite their Importance in the life
of the people who live within their boun-
diaries, have not enjoyed sufficient revenue
to meet demands for increased services and
conveniences. There must be something
else added to the property tax, as a source
of substantial revenue, if the municipali-
ties are to function properly.
The financial strain particularly af-
fects small towns where real estate is not
highly valuable and where boundary lines
embrace much acreage that is not able to
bring in high income. There is limit to-
the taxes which such property can bear and
it has been.reached in many towns and vii
lagos. Esk 49, =
The need for constructive thought
about municipal finances is apparent to
those who keep track of governmental
trends. States and counties, benefitting by
indirect taxation, have managed to place
their finances on plane not yet approach
ed by municipalities. Even so, states and
counties have not been able to keep pace
with the federal government or to secure
the revenue needed if they meet all the
demands of progressive people in mod
ern society.

Kew West has small but efficient pO
lice force There is much room for COM
plant, but nine-tenths of the complaints
can be traced to the fact that the depart
ment has not sufficient number of men
to cover the city properly.
Now more than ever before (the writ
er can speak for half century, the police
are on tiptoe to enforce the law. Anybody
who doubts that fact, may observe demon
STATIONS to prove it any night by going to
Duval street. 49,
Within few minutes Thursday nights
the writer saw motorcycle patrolmen tag
two cars for parking in wrong places and
turn over to the Shore Patrol a sailor who
was molesting another sailor. A moment
later the motorcycle hummed, and the pa
trolman shot down Duval street, toward
Fleming, to ascertain what was the cause
of crowds milling at that point.
And in the city jail, according to infor-
nation that has been given The Citizen,
there is ready response to telephone calls
from residents when policeman is needed
in any particular neighborhood.
What may be considered as common
dalton for the police department has al
ways been true of Key Vests Fire Depart
ment AS far back as the writer can re-
call, when fire engines were drawn by
horses, the firemen have always been
prompt in responding to alarms and efff7
cientehI fighting fires. ..,. '.-.@,, d'.d'V
AThat truth applies to volunteers as
VEL as paid firemen, and, as we recently
heard an admirer of the volunteers de-
clare, they have been so used to going to
fires. it would be difficult indeed, even if
they disbanded, to remain inert when the
fire bell sounded.

Considerable publicity hassbeen given
to the fact that the government has guar
anteed certain prices to the farmers OF the
United States, in connection with It's effort
to persuade them to expand production to
meet the excessive needs of war.
Farmers of Monroe County will, there
fore, be interested in the statement OF
Philip Murray, president of the ClO, VINO
points out that the government has been
rather kind to industry.
Mr. Murray says that the repeal OF
the excess profits taxes, as of January l,
1916, means that a company which sells
goods this year. subject to the maximum
tax of eighty-five and one-half percent on
each dollar of profit, can keep sixty-two
cents out of every dollar profit next year,
because the tax has been cut to- thirty-elght
percent.
Mr.. Murray insists that the people are
waiting for goods because industry is not
producing these goods for sale this year,
being anxious to hold them from the mar
kets in order to reap greater profits. We
have no direct information as to the extent
of the withholding of goods, but it Is OBJ
vious that the difference in profit is enough
to make this policy appeal to industrialists.
: Mr. Murray goes on to point out that
the government has been liberal to cor
porations in its tax laws. He says that
they are guaranteed for two years, through
tax refunds from the Treasury, against any
loss and a minimum of net profits which
will be in excess of their peacetime aver
age.

" The. purchase by s.. H. Kress- of'the
former Woolworth building at handsome

ity he had some years ago of acquiring the
property at half the reputed sale price Real
estate prices are better now, but nobody
wants to. see the boom days return, when,
for instance, the present site of The Citizen
was purchased for S17,500, and in the de-
preston that followed would not bring a

continue for several years.
