DELAWARE STATE GRANGE
FOR JUST LEGISLATION
WALTER MORRIS OF The FARMERS
BANK SUBMITS A LETTER.
Resolutions Passed and Officers Elected For
the Ensuing Year-Busy and interest
ing Three Days Session at Dover.

The Delaware State Grange met in
the Court House, Dover, in three
days session last week.
Wednesday evening the following
officers were elected: Master, S. I'll.
Derby, Woodside; overseer, Hervey
Walker, Harmony; lecturer, DR.. A. I.
Neale, Newark; steward, W. G. Burton,
Cool Spring; assistant steward, j. G.
Brown, Camden; chaplain, H. c..
Lewis, Laurel; treasurer, 7. N. Rig
gin, Laurel; secretary,W. w. Seeders,
Pennington; gate keeper, J. J. Sim
pier, Georgetown; ceres, Joanna
Walker; pomona, Mrs. Wesley Webb
fora, Emma M. Derby; lady steward,
Mrs. w. G. Burton.
The worthy master, Arnold Naudain,
in his annual address reviewed the
condition of the order which is pros
porous as a whole and is increasing in
membership. A gain has been made
in Delaware during the year. The
worthy master recommended legisla-
tion on the following subjects: Changes
in the game laws, the enactment of {
a pure food law for the State, the re
adjustment of certain taxes (referrins
especially to railroad taxes), the sub
mission of the local option question tt
the people, and larger appropriation
in support of the public schools.

The Taxing of Railroads.

The Taxing Of Railroads.
Walter Morris, Esq, of the Farmers
Bank, in a letter to the Grange says:
''I have before me an article en-
titled "The Onward March of Ameri-
can Trade" written by Frank A.
Vanderlip, Assistant Secretary of the
United States Treasury. After treat
ing upon many topics he comes to the
railroads of the country and mentions
sixteen of the greatest. ''Since Jan.
/, 1900, viz: ten months, the gross
earnings of these roads have increased
over the same period of last year (1S99)
which was also an exceedingly pros
perous year.
The Penna. r. R. Co., and the Bait.
& Ohio head the list, and therefore
these two roads that traverse our State
are the most prosperous roads in the
country; and yet the representative oi
the Bait. & Ohio Railroad says his road
is too poor to pay the tax due US. The
Delaware Division has contributed
considerably to the earnings of the
Penna. r. r. Co., especially that part
of 1t comprising the two roads in Sus
sex over which the greater part of thii
years peach crop was carried. Th'
State holds two mortgages on these
roads amounting to 1885, 900, the inter
est on which has been reduced from 81:
to three per cent. We therefore cal
only receive three per cent. interest ol
these mortgages in future, but we cal
tax the Delaware r. r. Division.
Express Company Taxes.
Smyrna times., 1900-12-19
Express Company Taxes.

In 1899 law was passed taxing the
express companies per cent. on the
gross business done in the State. (See
laws of Delaware Vol. IS, Page 562. }
A careful examination of the State
Treasurer's reports show the State re-
ceived only about $4,000 for the ten
years after the act was passed. This
is an average of 5000 per year and at
per cent. the amount they are taxed
shows a gross business of $12, 900 per
annum for the express companies in
the State. Do we not all believe
$120,000 would be nearer the mark?
Do we not all believe that one weeks S
busines, the week before Christmas,
will foot up more than $4,000? L
suppose the express companies count
the Delaware end of their route as
taxable only, but the express charges
come out of the pockets of the peo-
pie, and the State receives very little
ak from the companies. The ex-
press charges, as we are all aware,
have been mucn increased within
short time. The charge on pound
package from Philadelphia in now 30
cents as against 25 cents as formerly.

Dallas. Texas. August A.--Nows OF the
death Of Coils p. Huntington. president of

Dallas early this morning. It created sur
prise and intense interest. Mr, Hunting
ton was known personally or by roputa-
tion by nearly evsry man OF affairs in
Dallas. He wss the controlling factor in
witch has the largest real estate Inter
ests of any road entering Dallas. Just at
this time Dallas has a moro important
interest in the affairs Of the Huntington
lines than any other railroad system in
Texas. The Texas and New Orleans road,
from Dallas 10 Beaumont Is being fast
pushed TO completion, and much negotia-
ton has for the past year been conducted
between Mr.. Huntington or his represen-
tatives and the leading business spirits OF
Dallas. Involving important interests to
both, including tho proposition to locate
extensive shops here How these inter-
ests will be objected by his death Is a
problem.
L. 5. Thorne. vice president Of the Texas
and Pacific railway, said: My opinion is
that no serious jar will be felt in the
handling OF the Huntington properties
