President Truman called for

Freed CzechO-SlOvakia

PHOENIX, Ariz. - (AP) 49,
American Indians in the great
Southwestern reservations have
resumed a pre-war activity-the
manufacture of Indian mecca
sins.
This winter, for the first time
in more than six years, the popu-
lar soft leather shoes, which
many use for bedroom slippers
and which can be worn equally
well ont of doors, have appeared
on the market.
After the first World War the
Indians used colored glass beads
imported from Czechoslovakia as
decorations on moccasins. When
importation of these beads was
stopped by the conquest of Gee
choslovakia by Germany, the In
dians stopped making the moe
casins,
The industry was resumed
when Czechoslovakian beads be-
came available again.

TAXI LICENSES
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
We say we are living in a free
country Is it free country
when men are not allowed to
make an honest living? Men who
have spent their entire incomes
IN this community, then they are
not allowed, even though they
are willing, to comply with all
lawful regulations, to do so. Is
this freedom. may I ask?
| wonder if it is like away back
in 1889, when only special few
who were in the know. were
granted all the privileges? Is
there still special few who are
allowed the privilege?
Now, what | am referring TO is
the taxi business. 1t seems that
only a few select ones have been
allowed this privilege. Others
have been told. although some
have been driving two years or
more, that they are to get off
the streets, or they will be ar.
rested. Is this fair?
Why, if there is limit to
these so-called permits, should
only the few selected ones have
them? What right has anyone
to tell a man (if he is within the
law what he must do?
The state and county sell 2
special license for taxicabs, al.
lowing them to haul passengers
any place in the county. Some
cabs have two or three shifts OF
drivers, with these so-called per
mits. Others who have cabs Cbut
who are not in the ringl have
applied for these so-called per.
mits and have been denied

CONSOLIDATION

EDITOR, The Citizen:
Everyone agrees that the ex-
pense, duplication of effort and
double taxation between county
and city government should be
eliminated so far as possible. The
question is how to do it?
The problem of consolidating
city and county governments is
rot peculiar to Key West and
Monroe county alone. Many
cities, in almost all states, have
made attempts to reach a salts
factory solution. but to- date, no
solution has been found that is
without defect.
The two methods generally
tried are as follows: First, con-
solldation by setting up a poll
teal subdivision of the state to
include both the city and the
county, That is. either the city
absorbs the county. and assumes
all expenses of government, or
the city gives up its powers of
governing and taxing to the
county. The obvious difficulty
here is that either the county
residents must pay for city Serv-
ices which they cannot receive,
as sewage, fire protection and
utilities, or an adjusted tax mil
lage must be arranged for those
residents beyond the service him.
its of the nuclear city.
The second method is consolid-
alton of functions. BY this way,
the city and the county each
preserves its political entity, and
It's independence, but depart
ments which work along parallel
lines merge. For instance, the
law enforcement agencies of city
and county are combined under
one chief, whose authority eX-
tends into all parts of the coun-
ty and the city; the health de-
partments combine or, as in our
own case, city and county use
the same water supply. In any
case where it is evident that
savings would result, the two
units of government enter into
contractual agreements to merge
functions.
The state of Virginia uses an
other method of consolidation
which is called consolidation by
separation. BY constitutional
law, every city in Virginia with
a population of over 10000 Is {
county within itself. This, ir
general, solves the problem Of
double taxation, but it creates
other problems which are nc
less difficult of solution
l have no plan TO offer in an
swer to the question of how to
consolidate city and county gov
ernments. But | do want to point
out that there is something more
to the problem than just thinking
that it ought to be done. 1t is an
extremely difficult problem, and
it will take lot of study to
find the right answer.
