THE place where Gordon Par
i IRISH lived was in the West
Fifties, just over from the corner
of Eighth Avenue. And when my
taxi pulled up in front of it was
somehow surprised to see that it
was a fairly modern building.
The. door was pulled open and
there stood the TALL thin guy j
thought I had lost in Radio City.
He smiled as though / was one
person he was very glad to see.
jti'.fMr. Barnes?p he wanted TO
know.
~ Wen, SO that was that, and at
long last Vhin face, and Reedy
Voice, were one. and the same
person! That pleased me, il only
that it cut, down the field by one.
I smiled right back at him.
"Yes. and was held up. Sorry"
said. "Mr. Parrish waited, ]
hope?"
ooh, yes, yes!" he beamed, and
swung the door wide and STOOD
back. Come in, please"
Parrish was at a wall desk,
writing maybe, but ne had
stopped. and half turned around;
When He saw me he got up and
came over to shake hands.
II was afraid that you'd sud
denly forgotten, MIR. Barnes" he
said.
"A little matter on another
case popped up" said, and
casually hitched my chair little
so that they both had to sit down
more or less in front of me.
Couldn't put it off, and didn't
think it would take more than
minute. Sorry that it did"
Parrish's gesture was quite
magnanimous.
quite all right, sir" he said.
"Franz and I had no place to 60,
and Oh, I beg your pardon,
sir. And yours, Franz. Mr.. Barnes,
l would like you to meet Franz
Eurlich. Franz, this, as you know,
is Mr.. Barnes, whom ] hired to
find Maurice for me-"
When the cordial act was COM
pleted Parrish got right down to
cases.
"You said over the phone you
had a few things to report, sir?''
he murmured. Good news, ]
hope? You've found Maurice Car

USING AIRPLANES IN FARMING

While farmers of the nation have
taken literally to the idea of mechanical
ton, one cannot say that they are over
burdened with tractors, farming nipple
ments and machines to do the work of men
and animals.
While there is room for further devel-
opment these lookers-ahead are suggest
ing that farmers will get considerable
benefits as soon as airplane-makers de-
velop flying machine which will be IAN
efficient, all-purpose farm tool"
This is what we call looking into the
future, but, as most Of the readers of The
Citizen know, there are many airplane
companies interested in pest-control SER
vice by air From California comes news
that airplanes are being used to plant rice.
Insect control was the first job to be under
taken by airplanes but the flying machines
have been used for weed control and ferti-
lizing.
John A. McKeag, writing in Reclama-
ton Era, suggests that heliocopters come
closer to meeting the farmers needs than
other machines. While they cost more to
begin with they fly more slowly and op1
crate more economically, when one con-
siders that there is less drift in the spray
that they spread. He thinks that the use of
aircraft will be great boon to the FAM
ily-size farm" making it unnecessary for
the individual farmer to purchase vari-
ETY. of expensive equipment and that the
work could be spread over a number of
small farms with per acre cost as low as
on efficient, larger operations.

doesn't MAKE SENSE. :,

According to unofficial information
from Tallahassee, among the measures
that will be introduced at the next session
of the legislature will be one that will inn
pose tax of five percent on income from
hotel rooms.
The Miami Beach Hotel Association
has already rolled up it's sleeves to fight
the proposed bill. Members say that if
such bill should become law in Florida,
it will kill the goose that lays the golden
egg" .....,,. asa.
That goose already is being killed
in Key West in the most discriminatory
taxation imaginable. For instance, if YOU
build house of 10 rooms in Key West and
rent the house in it's entirety you will pay
no taxes other than the usual realty taxes.
Besides, if you rent those rooms as offices,
you will not be required to pay additional
taxation but if you rent them as places in
which people are to sleep, you must pay
an additional tax to the city on each room
Further, if you divide that 10-room house
into two apartments, the city steps for
ward to make you pay tax on each apart
ment.
What applies to a rooming house also
applies to hotels is Key West. Owners are
required to pay tax on each room.
Among the apartment buildings in
Key West is one with "a apartments. The
owner is taxed $3.50 on each apartment,
in addition to his ad vaorem taxes on the
entire building. If he converted these
apartments into offices, he would not be
required by the city to pay an additional
penny on them
That sleeping-rOom and apartment
law in Key West is as discriminatory as
any other law that has ever been passed
in this or any other county. The law is not
only discriminatory but is distorted in it's
conception. 1t surely would be refreshing
for the authors of the ordinance to explain,
if an owner rents his house in it's entirety
for, say, 500 a month and is not required
to pay further tax, why should he be
compelled to pay if he divides that house
into two apartments and rents each for
$50 month. In that case he pays $3.50 on
each apartment, or if he rented rooms in
that same house, for which he pays nothing
additional when rented in its entirety, the
city compels him to pay a tax on each
room.
Finally, the additional tax on rooms
and apartments is double taxation, besides
being discriminatory.
That discrimination doesn't make
sense" as owners of rooming houses and
anartments in Kew West have declared,
time aud again.

Is mGNESs IN BUSINESS WRONG?

Monopolistic trends in business have
caused concern TO economists, politicians
and well-nformed American citizens. The
Federal Trade Commission has called at

which resulted in the disappearance of
about $500 formerly independent" man.
ufacturing and mining concerns since
l9aO.
u inmates that free enterprise will
become collectivism unless giant corpora
tluns are prohibited from increasing their
pnNers al the expense of small business.
The ETC would check the trend by
Imposing direct regulation to prevent mer-
kers which lessen competition. It would
kxa-the Government power, by law, to
prevent the purchase of one cOmpanys
phy&ical assets by another company if to
diminish competition would be the result.
The increasing growth of business
into larger and larger corporations has
made many thoughtful persons realize
thatjf private corporations grow so big and
powerful as to menace individual freedom,
1he Government will have to take action
90 limit corporate growth or else sternly
police the practices of corporations.
Obviously, when business organiza-
Atoms become so large as to operate above
existing laws, it will be necessary for the
Government in the interest of society, to
<ecure sufficient power to deal with the
business units. Certainly, no government
can exist unless it is more powerful than
the units. individuals or corporate, that
operate within its field How to prevent
ah~-evils of consolidation and retain the
advantages that go with large-scale OPP
ssatioRs is the economic problem now
confronting the people of this country.
Senator Joseph c. O'Mahoney, of
Wyoming. points out that as companies be-
.Tome more immense and powerful, big
labor" arises to bargain with them and,
If necessity, big government" becomes
digger to regulate the two. He thinks that
Jhe trend To bigness threatens the fight of
peoples and communities to control their

Facing this situation, some financial
experts think that the corporations are de-
Ael0plng advance social concepts and in
freasingly humanizing their relations with
lvorkers. The idea is that the corporate
enterprises are becoming aware of their
responsibility to the public, as we'll as to
their customers, with recognition of the
corporation as an avenue to give express
4iou Ia human values
Recognizing the possible evil it is
huite likely that the people of the country
yill demand legislation to safeguard their
fnterests and that, in the long run, some
way viii be devised to retain the advan-
cages that accrue to bigness in business
without serious diminution of the rights

DEFENSIVELY, Caldwell boasts

DEFENSIVELY, Caldwell boasts
the best record in the league, al
lowing their opponents only 2l3
points in seven games an average
of 80 per game but extensively
it's a different story as the Red
skins exceed only cellar dwell
ing M. & M. in points scored
with 257, an average of 81 per
game. CaldWell's reserve team
likewise holds the top defensive
record of permitting their op-
ponents only 122 points in seven
games, an average of II per
game. The Redskin reserves, on
the other hand, stand second on
ly to New Lex in points scored
with 222, an average Of 81 per
game. By a strange coincidence
in the varsity standing, New
Lex and New Concord have
scored exactly the same number
of points, while New Lex has al
lowed three more points than
the MuskieS.
FOREST GROVE seems to have
found a winning combination at
last, a seventh and eight grade

tempts. The Redskins didn't ap,
pear to be so much off their
shooting form. They had streaks
of Wildness which cost them the
ball on travelling, bad passes, etc.
before even getting shot at the
bucket.
Phil Allen, New Concord cap
tain, was fairly we'll bottled up
by Caldwell, getting only three
field goals, but he made good on
five out of seven free throws for
top scoring honors of II points
1t remained, however, for Bob
Dutch to walk off with the hero's
role as he sank the final two
buckets that gave New Concord
the game.
Caldwell took q 3 0 lead at the
outset Of the game as Bill Chris
tOpher flipped in a fielder and
Don King converted a free throw
But the MuskieS got busy to ring
up 10 points and lead 1915 at the
quarter.
In the second period Caldwell
connected for the highest quar-
ter score of the eVening-15
points-While New Concord was
held to nine, putting the home
team out ahead 21-19 at halftime.
Only nine points were scored
in the third period, three by the
Redskins and six by the Muskies.
Christopher's fourth field goal
and free throw by Potts were
the Redskins only markers as
they trailed at this quarter 1924.
Both teams played cautious
ball in the fourth quarter, the
lead see saving back and forth.
With three minutes to go at the
official time out, the score was
knotted 1929. Caldwell took the
lead 31-3O with a minute and a
half left, but at this point Bob
Dutch personally seWed up the
game by looping in a long shot
from the right side of the floor to
put the Muskies ahead 1921
New Concord Immediately began
to stall out the remaining minute
but when the Caldwell defense
pulled out to go into man-for-
man, Dutch was left unguarded
under the basket. A quick pass
resulted in another score running
the count to 34-3l and ending the
game.
In the preliminary, Caldwell.
reserves paced by Hugh Walters
