THE CATCH IS HUMAN NATURE

Usually when people are forced into
doing what they do not want to- do, or
think they cannot do, or when natural
laws are contrayened by man-rnade laws
the reaction is mcalculable Compulsory,
health insurance is one of these Instances
If it is adopted, the financial cost may
boomerang in unexpected ways against
the millions it was designed to protect
For example, it is proposed that half the
cost of government-controlled medical
care be borne by employers who would
be taxed an amount equal to the medical
care payroll deduction of the employee
This sounds good to the worker but many
economists believe that such levy against
employers would so upset the economic
system that, in the end, the worker would
have to pay both his own and his en-
ployer's share.
According to an authority who has
spent fifteen years studying the actual
working of compulsory health Insurance
in various countries, this might happen
in any one of number of ways The price
of goods might go up, and his (the
workers) wages buy less The employer
might substitute machinery for some
workers, and cut production to lay off
others. Unemployment would result, and a
wage cut would follow. Certain economists
contend that the resulting wage plus the
employers tax would just equal the form
er wage. If such contention is true, the
worker will have to decide whether health
insurance is worth 6 per cent of his in
come to him. That is almost half again as
much as he now pays-on the average
for medical attention.
1t is the old story. You can't get some
thing for nothing.

Four voting machines to be

WILL COME TO PASS

The Florida Keys, in not many years
from now, may be referred to as the
Venice of America, or Americas South
Sea Islands, or probably some other name
that is more apt will be chosen, but what
ever their designation may be, you may
be confident that, between Key West and
the mainland, there will be hundreds of
beauty spots on the shore of the Florida
Keys.
Twenty years ago The Citizen pub
hshed an editorial in which j. w. Ricketts,,
one of the vice presidents of the Coral
Gables Corporation, was quoted as de-
claring:
"The time will come when the out
standing winter resort in this country will
be the Florida Keys. As soon as they are
discovered by half dozen men of
money, watch out for major develop
ments that will convert stretches of man
groves into beautiful settlements or vii
lagos of small cities. That is one of the
certainties of the future that will have to
do with providing recreation and enter
tainment for the country's teeming mil
lions. The Florida Keys possess, as does
no other part of the country, the essen
tials of winter resorts climate, fishing,
sea bathing and inland boating"
1t appears to The Citizen that the
Developments that Mr.. Ricketts, forecast
are now in process of being realized. At
scores of places along the keys improve
ments are being made, some of them on
large scales, as at the Matecumbes and
Key Largo. On the lower keys there is
activity also in providing Accommodations
for the thousands of people who yearn for
recreation in the sunshine in the winter
Outstanding among the lower keys where
those developments will be made are No
Name, Big Pine, Sugar Loaf and Boca
Chica.
County Tax Assessor Claude A. Gan
dolfo and his chief clerk, J. Frank Rob-
erts, who have just completed a check-up
of developments in the upper and lower
chain Of keys; told The Citizen that, I'M

THE Palmer, without taking off
any part of his clothes. slept
till the earliest sunheams found
their way through the little
grated window. He then started
up, and after repeating his mathis,
and adjusting his dress, he left
his cell. and entered that of Isaac
the Jew, lifting the latch as gent
ly as he could.
The Palmer stirred Isaac with
his pilgrims staff and the old
man started up.

said the Palmer, Il come as your

''The purpose you can best

on this, that when the Templar
crossed the hall yesternight he
spoke to his Mussulman slaves in
the Saracen language, and charged
them this morning to watch the
journey of the Jew. to seize upon

INTERESTING ASSOCIATION

e The information service of the
American Legion calls attention to the fact
that a post, recently formed in Denver,
Colorado, had 13 Chinese-American and a
Japanese American charter members,
whose bond was the common service in
the Army of the United States.
- This is, of course, interesting but it
would be mistake TO conclude that real
racial goodwill is always served by such
combination. 1t would be too much to
expect that the citizens of this country,
OF Chinese descent, would get along with
out friction if compelled to be closely as
ISOLATED with citizens of Japanese descent
The effort to achieve tolerance in
racial affairs is not always helped by any
forced association of the representatives
of special groups. In fact. such proximity
often tends to magnify minor incidents
which If they occurred among people of
the same group, would not cause friction

his elbow, land travelling In CONF

content to abide the opening OF
the great gate--we suffer no visi-
tors to depart by stealth at these

Nevertheless said the Pil-
grim, in commanding tone. 'you
will not, / think, refuse me that

So saying, he stopped over the
bed of the reeumbent swineherd,
and whispered something in his
ear in Saxon. Gurth started up as
il electrified. The Pilgrim, raising
his finger in an attitude as If to
express caution, added, "Gurth,
heware--than shalt know more
anon"
With hasty alacrity Gurth
obeyed him, while the Jew fol-
lowed, wondering at the sudden
change in the swineherd's de-
meanour.
MY mule, my mule!" said the
Jew, as soon as they stood with
out the postern.

Pilgrim; ''and, nearest thpu,-let

journey with dispatch which
argued the extremity of, the Jews

When they had pushed on at a
rapid rate the Palmer at length
broke silence.
"That large decayed oak" he
said, marks the boundaries over
which Front-de-Boeuf claims au-
thority-we are long since far
from those of Malvoisin. There is
now no fear ofipursuit."
''The blessing of Jacob be upon
thee, good youth" said the Jew:

my kinsman Zareth, and find
some means of travelling forth

'sBe it So" said the Palmer; "at
Sheffield then we part, and half
