State Gas Sales
Take Drop

Slight decrease in the number
of gallons of gasoline sold in Flo"
ida was noted in February as COM
pared to the previous month. Al
though there is no available rec
ord of the amount of gas sold in
this county, it is unlikely the
downward trend applied to Mon
roe. The great number of out-of
town cars that drove through the
Keys to Key West and the IN
creased number of local. vehicles
probably kept the sales in this
county on. even terms with those
of January, if not greater.
The state collected $3,093, 822
from it's tax of seven cents per
gallon on the total of A, 1885
gallons sold last month. In Fep-
ruary of 1915 the consumption
was 27,o69,970.
AS February is a short month,
the drop in sales during that Pc
Rod as compared to the previous
month no doubt had no affect on
the average per day sales for both
months. State report made 10
mention of day average sales.

WILL HURT KEY WEST

Let us see if the passing of the dead
line to qualify as candidate for local
offices will result in rousing residents of
Monroe county out of their apathy regard
ing the primaries to be held in May
AT the county courthouse we have.
heard it remarked many times that, as
soon as all candidates had qualified, there
would be a marked difference toward
registering for the May elections.
If any difference occurs, it will be due
chiefly to the candidates in persuading
their supporters, or supposed supporters,
to go to the county courthouse to rereg-
ister.
You may walk the city from end to
end and side to side and not hear a single
political discussion. Never before, so far
as We can recall, with primary day so near
at hand, have we noted so little interest in
a campaign as there is in the present one.
1T Key Westers had registered in
large numbers, we would be in a position
to say that intense canvasses are being
quietly conducted, but that condition does
not prevail now, because, if it did, the re-
suit of it would be manifested in far
larger number of qualified voters.
Lack of interest not only applies to
local offices. Out-of-town candidates have
visited Key West and were unable to
create the eaststir of enthusiasm. Ask any
Key Wester YOU may meet about any con
test.r and likely he viii tell you It is of
little concern to him. vs.

won't help Key West or the remainder Of
the county. The poor showing in registra-
ton will decrease greatly Key Vests in

The stock market1will quickly mirror

initiation. Emil oschra4ni, president of the
New Xorlc GckaExehange, says: o5 II

economy is bound to be reflected in the

Reiterating his conviction that in
dividuals should measure stock purchases
in terms of considerations determining
their worth and buy only what they can
afford, Mr.. Schram admitted that the "get
rich" spirit appears to be as virulent in
America now as it ever was.
There is no way to quick riches in
the stock market for the average investor,
despite the highly publicized exceptions, -
he said. ''The element of risk can be mini
mized but not eliminated
The plethora, of inexpert and often in
complete advice on the stork market from
persons either processing or implying that
they have inside information was viewed
by Mr.. Schram as a condition menacing the
.unwary investor.
. Unfortunately" he said, San active
market always breeds a flock of tipsters
who, for one reason or another, feel they
are qualified to tell people what stocks to
buy and when to buy them"

NOTHING WRONG

Consideration of the bill that will pro-
vide form of retirement pay for members
of Congress brings up the usual allegation
that the soions are voting themselves pen
sions
Regardless of what the payments may
be called there is nothing wrong with the
general idea that members of Congress are
entitled to some form of retirement COM
pensation.
In fact, the pay of Congressman
should be raised and each member should
nave capable. executive secretary, draw
ing about the same salary as the congress
man, who could run the errands for con-
stituents at home. This would leave the
legislator enough time to consider public
measures.

Cities Must Respect
Schools And Churches

A recent ruling by Attorne y
General Tom Watson on the sale
of liquor within 800 feet of a
church or school may interest city
fathers.
State Beverage Director James
Vocelle sought the opinion of M.
Watson on special ordinances en-
acted by cities allowing liquor to
be sold within the church or
school limit set by the state.
Here's what the attorney geo.
eral says about this: A munlcl-
pality, by special ordinance, may
not permit liquor to be sold with
in 800 feet of an. established
school or church. AS pertaining
to a school, MIR. Watson said the
300 feet should not be measured
from the schoolhouse grounds but
from the border line of the sur
rounding grounds used as a play
ground for students.
