PROFITABLE DAIRY BUSINESS

An example Of unusual profit in the
dairy business says the Centreville Obser-
uer, is given by Mr.. W. F. Linen OF Smith
vile, Caroline county. From two cows
his profits last year were $11057. He
sold 58S pounds Of butter Similar in
stances have been from time to time
noted in Caroline county in the last few
years, showing that the grade Of cattle
has been greatly improved. In some
sections of the county considerable atten-
ton is being paid to dairy farming, and
there are many fine herds. Large guam
titles of butter are sold to the hotels, and
the steamers plying the Choptank and
Tuckahoe rivers take quantities for the
travelling public. Tuckahoe river is a
region noted for its fine cattle and deli
cious butter. Among the most successful
butter-makers are some of the Pennsyl-
vanians who settled there number Of
years ago, many Of whom have creamer-

DELAWARE RAILROAD TAX DISCUSSED
BY MR.. BIGGS

John Biggs, solicitor for the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington & Baltimore, the Del
aware and the Delaware, Maryland &
Virginia Railroads, has addressed letter
to the members of the House Committee
having in charge the bills recently intro
duced in the Legislature, making radi-
cal increases in the taxes imposed by the
State upon these railroad corporations
The question Of taxation in regard OF the
Railroads, should be gone into carefully
aid aid ii4fe action taken hastily hastiy The rff
roads are supposed to bear their share Of
taxes, but they shouldn't be burdened
with them. The only redress the
Railroad Companies have is to add that
proportion on the travelling public and
on freight rates The P w. & b., and
Delaware roads paid to the State over
$685., 900 of which 1907, 900 was on ac-
count of interstate passengers, during
the enforcement Of the law imposing a
a tax of ten cents per capita on all peo-
pie taken through this State. The rail-
roads contested the law and the Court of
Errors and Appeals decided that it con-
flicted with the constitution of the Uni
ted States. These taxes were never paid
back to the railroad companies. Mr..
Biggs shows that the P. W. & B. R. R.,
has the same mileage in Pennsylvania as
in this State. The tax paid in that State
in 1899 was $17, ,241.15 and in Maryland
$41, ,O36. % against $4,000 paid in Della
ware. He says increased taxes means in
creased rates to passengers and freight.
1t now remains for the Legislature to say
what shall be done with these railroad
bills.-Er.

M1DDIErowE, DEL, FEBRUARY 1s, 1901
MIR. HkNNA,s OPINION.

The daily press generally unite
in quoting Senator Hanna as say
ing that the Republicans should
elect two Senators from Del
aware. If he had expressed this
opinion as a hope or wish every
Republican could and would have
united with him in expressing it.
But sit is a condition and not a
theory" that confronts US. Six
teen of the Republican Assembly
men are voting for Mr.. Addicks
and say they will never consent
to vote for any other candidate
unless he be one of the two sena-
tors, while the other thirteen are
as positive that Mr.. Addicks
shall never be senator by Re
publican votes, although pledg-
ing themselves to vote for any
other two Republicans Of stand
ing and ability. What compli-
Gates matters and makes Mr..
Addicks an impossible candidate
is the fact that his past record is
such that if one of the Regular
Republicans should vote for him,
the charge would be at once made
that unlawful and immoral means
had been used to influence the
vote. None of the Regular Re
publicans are willing to be held
up to the public scorn and indlg-
nation, that was meted out to
Messrs. Farlow, King and Clark
only two years ago. So unless
Mr.. Hanna can find some way to
get Mr.. Addicks out of the fight,
he and the people of Delaware
may look to see the',State un-
represented in the senate for two
years. When Mr.. Addicks was
making his fight for recognition
at the National Convention, in
Philadelphia last June, he was
asked by the Committee on Gre
dentials, if, in the result of Re
publican success, he would stand
in the road Of the election of two
senators. His answer was that
ne would not. But so far ne has
failed to get out of the road.
Perhaps he may yet see the i'm
possibility of his election and
clear the way. When that day
comes, it will not take but one
ballot to elect the senators. I'm
til it does come, things will pro-
badly 60 on in the same way as
they have for the past four weeks
or more. And it must not be
forgotten that less than three
weeks now remain of this
sessio, and tho time is short.

GIVE Us MORE FACTORIES

There is now pending in the
General Assembly, a bill intro
duced at the request of the Viii
mington Board Of Trade whose
object it is to re-adjust the So
called industrial tax. 1t is pro-
posed that instead of a tax of one
dollar per year on each $1,000 of
purchases that all corporations
pay tax of fifty cents per year
on each $1,000 Of capitol stock,
which is the amount of tax to
which all corporations chartered
under the General Corporation
Act are subject. The friends of
the measure were given a hear
ing one day last week and among
other statements and arguments
was the following:
William Lawton has made a compari-
son between Delaware and Rhode Island,
showing that the former has rs people to
the square mile and Rhode Island, a
manufacturing state, has 300 people to
the square mile. The little towns in the
latter state are filed with manufacturing
establishments. Don't send your people
away from your towns, but bring manu-
facturers to them. These smaller plants
can be operated more economically in
the town than in the large city. The
younger element will not stay around
where they cannot earn something. Re-
move this tax, open our markets, ask
people to come here. l don't think it
will jeopardize the revenues of our state,
for in few years we will have three
establishments where we now have two.
/, This argument or comparison
SHOULD appeal to all towns in
Delaware, which, like Middle
town, have in the past relied
upon agricultural products for
an existence. There is no reason
why Middletown should not have
more factories. In fact, the town
needs them. We have boys and |
young men growing up and the |
only avenue open for them is to |
leave the country and go to the |
city with all its temptations and
trials, because they cannot make
o living here. While the official
figures of the last census are not
available for comparison, still we
are positive that there are not as
white citizens in the town
to-day as there vera ten years
ago. The total incre !se in popu-
Iation was only about so. This
should not be SO, and would not
be 40 If we had one or two more
actories. We think with Mr..
kawton that this taxing Of fac
.ories has something to do with
e lack of enterprise, and while
. are not certain that this meas-.it
