TEST OF HONESTY COSTS BANK SIP

A bank in Atlanta, Ca, depending
upon public honesty, recently put large
fishbowl of coins in the lobby and invited
customers to make their own change.
After trying the experiment for five
weeks, and losing SIP in the last two, the
bank was reverted to the ancient and hon.
orable custom of counting its coins in con-
nection with the art of making change.
Assuming that the officials of the
bank are men of ordinary intelligence, we
likewise presume That's the fishbowl-idea
was publicity stunt. We can hardly ina
CINE that mature individuals would expect
that, among the thousands who circulate
freely in neighborhood,. honesty would be
the absolute rule.
We are thoroughly convinced that the
vast majority of human beings are honest
and utterly unwilling to take advantage
of any opportunity to steal money. Never
theless, the percentage of crooks, grafters
and thieves is high enough to assure that
any such experiment, as that reported
from Atlanta, will be losing proposition.

SPEND MORE THAN INCOME

Figures recently released by the De-
partment of Commerce reveal that the
forty-eight states of the Union spent $13,-
1873, 100000 in the fiscal year 1850. The
amounts to about $50 for each resident of
the nation.
The states, of course, spent more than
their income. Total revenue of the COM
monwealths amounted to $11,S63, 100000.
This was new high but not enough to
cover the spending program.
There is nothing basically wrong with
the spending of $50 per capita by the state
governments. In fact, some of the political
ills that 'beset this country are due largely
to the failure of the states to function eff
ficiently and the timidity of State Legis-
lators to levy the taxes necessary to carry
out the functions demanded by the people
in this modern era.

BYRD URGES SENSIBLE PROCEDURE

Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia,
wants "single-package" appropriations
bill, so that Congress can act intelligently
on the spending program of the nation.
The single package" approach to
appropriations was employed during the
second session of the last Congress but
has been abandoned this year as unwieldy
and SLOW
Senator Byrd calls attention to the
prospect that the nation will have an
overall expenditure of between $75,000,-
100000 and 0,OOO, 100000 annually af-
ter the fiscal year 1852 He does not see
how Congress can intelligently pass on
the issues involved through a piece-meal
consideration of dozen or more separate
bills, Drought in one by one over period
of six months or more
The proposal is business-like one,
in which to apportion public funds. If there
is any reason why the Congress should
not adopt the procedure, we do not know
of it. Consequently, we hope that the Con-
gress will take proper action to make the
Byrd plan permanent procedure.

BASEBALL CAR SHOULD BE
INDEPENDENT

Baseball's high commissioner, Albert
d. Chandler, of Kentucky, will not serve
after his present term expires in April of
next year. Nine of sixteen club owners in
the National and American Leagues voted
for his reelection but twelve favorable
votes were necessary.
We are not familiar with the reasons
which led Some club owners to make war
on Mr.. Chandler Nevertheless, we are
strongly of the opinion that baseball needs
a high commissioner and, it seems to us,
that the official must be beyond the reach
of minority of five club owners using
their veto power.
Public confidence in sports has been
Jared by recent revelations about fixed
basketball games. There is general con-
Germ over the mounting commercialism of
intercollegiate football. Baseball, as the
nations leading pastime. cannot afford to
have any finger of suspicion pointed at it

FASTER THAN WE KNOW

The more workin Key West the big
ger the payroll, the bigger the payroll the
greater the volume of business in the
community.
That truth, though self-evident, is
pleasing to all of us. In sensing that pleas
ure, we appreciate the efforts OF any man
or group of men that result in providing
the greater volume of work. In this par
ticular instance, our thanks go to Rep
resentative Bill Lantaff from this congress
sionals district, who;a in letter to David
E. McCurdy, 1886 Avenue explains that
he had called on Admiral Kline of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks and had been
assured that additional activities in the
Key West Naval Base will provide en-
ployment for 81 more men.
However, as was explained to The
Citizen, the additional work does not mean
that that many extra men will be employ
ed, as some workmen at the base are not
now putting in full weeks work. But it
does mean their employment will be ex-
tended and wherever needed, others will
be given work.
Lantaff states he was further assured
that the DIES, which are now operating
from Key West, will be assigned to the
base here for interim overhaul, instead OF,
as has been done heretofore, taking these
craft to other naval bases to have the work
done.

peak of expansion. And what is true of
Key West is. true also of other communi-
ties in Monroe county. Marathon, Taver-
nier and Islamorada are up-and-coming
communities. bursting at the seams with
their comparatively fast growth. Several
times, movements have been started in
Tavernier with view to its incorporation,
and similar movements have been discuss
ed in Marathon during the last four or
five years. The Marathon movement is
now on the point of being realized. AS an
/ AP story in The Citizen said a few days
ago, a bill has been introduced in the le-
gislature to incorporate Marathon as a
town.
The Florida Keys, with Key West in
the lead, are progressing at rate that has
never before been experienced in their
history. They are deserving of their rapid
growth, with such outstanding attractions
/ of having the only frost-free climate and
