The Board of Trade is awaken
ing to the fact that the tax rate is
apt to get higher instead of less.
For the last ten We ars with a year
or so intervening the tax rate has
been steadily increased until real
estate is bearing all the burden that
it is able to. In other cities the size
of Wilmington the taxes on real es-
tate are proportionately lower by
reason of the collections of large
sums on other kinds OF prosperity
and the payment into the public
treasury of the charges imposed
upon quasi public corporations; but
these advantages have never been
enjoyed in Wilmington. There is
no desire to SO tax corporations as
to drive them out OF the city and
State, but they should be made to
pay their proportionate share Of
taxes. Corporations who can enjoy
privileges that are valuable should
not object to pay what is right and
just towards running the city or
State Government. New Jersey by
its corporation act has a surplus in
it's State treasury while Dclaw are
is almost bankrupt,

FRIDAY. JANUARY Q, 1909.

DELAWARE is certainly an origi-
nal State. The politicians OF other
States can learn something from our
politicians. They are the most oriSi-
nal in tier methods so strangers
say who have visited the Capitol
since the present Legislature un-
dertook to organize and get into
shape to carry out the 80 days ses-
sion as prescribed by the new Con-
stitution Of any they ever Witness
ed. The rulings of the tenn
porary chairman in the House
could give Congressman Thomas B.
Reed pointers. One Of his astonish-
ing rulings took place yesterday af-
ternoon. Representative McNulty
moved that the House adjourn over
until Friday morning at 10 o'clock,
which was secondedby Representa-
tive Donohoe. Chairman Jenkins
put the motion before the House and
after the roll had been called it was
found that 20 members had voted
for adjournment, while thirteen had
voted no. The Chairman then an
nounced that the motion was lost,
when DR.. Layton informed him that
he had made a wrong decision he
corrected his error.
From the present indications the
House will not succeed in electing
a Speaker if they go on balloting
until Seomsday unless the Demo-
Gratis turn in and help the Regulars
to elect Speaker the second time.
There does not appear to be the
least chance of the two wafring fac
tons coming together and deciding
on any candidate upon whom they
can unite and elect a Speaker.
Valuable time is being wasted in
this useless wrangle that from the
present indications does not appear
to be any nearer a solution than the
first day the Legislature sat. The
people are becoming impatient and
want something done and that quick
ly. Will the members of the House
who can and should come to some
understanding heed the public
clamor for the House to speedily Or
ganize?
