Too Muck Power.

Dover Delawarean.
MIR. Sackett's bill undoubtedly has
some merit, but the remedy is certainly
very severe, and before such bill be-
comes law it should receive great
amount of calm and deliberate thought.
The first question to be considered by the
General Assembly should be as to the
power or authority Of the officers of the
state to enforce the provisions of such a
bill after 1t becomes a law on
our statute books This bill, as
1t now stands, gives the power
to three men to say whether or not GER
tain parties shall pull out their orchards.
In other words the bill puts it in the
hands of three citizens of hundred, or
a certain locality, to order farmers to pull
up their trees for the public good, while
1t provides no compensation to the person
for the loss of his property. This looks
to us like taking private property for the
public good without paying for it, which
undoubtedly is questionable authority
to say the least Aside from this view Of
the question it is a great power to put
into the hands of any set of men under
any circumstances.
