TAXATION is an important subject

TAXATION is an important subject
to every citizen, the wage Gamer as
well as the property owners. High
taxes mean high rents. The prop
erty owner should not be robbed by
the powers that run the city, county
and state government When we
say robbed, we mean assessing the
property for more than it would
bring at a sale. Say a property
that cost $4,000 was assessed for
$11,O which is frequently the
case and that this property when
sold only brought $1,000, the owner
has been robbed of every dollar he
was compelled to pay over the price
it sold for. What would you think
of a merchant if you purchased 10
yards of cloth and paid him for it,
and when you went to measure it,
there was on y Z yards, would you
not want the other three yards for
which you paid or your money re-
funded. Then another piece of rob
berry is the making of the budget as
it is called. All the expenses Of the
different departments are made up;
then the city assessment of proper
ty is footed up, then the tax rate is
fixed. The city and state have
drifted along in the same old ruts
since William Penn in his benevo-
lence settled the Commons form on
the city of New Castle with only
one idea in their heads raise all the
revenue from real estate and they
are still doing it. The burden has
become SO great that real estate
which by rights, should be booming
in tho city Of Wilmington, is drug
ON the market. If one hundred
thousand dollars worth of real es-
tate, consisting of small hAases,
We're offered at public sale. it would
not realize more than 60 cents on
the dollar And the high assess
ment and high tax rate are solely
responsible for this state of affairs.
! Revenue should be raised in some
other way, and there are many 9TH
er ways in which it can be raised,
that would not be a hardship upon
those who had to pay their share
of it. This is question that is
bound to come to an issue at no dis
taut day. There is an end to every
thing and we believe the limit OF
taxation has been reached in t4e
cily Of Wilmington and New Casfle
county.

Unions to Lead.

Wilmington, Del, May 4.-As the
'Regulars' have ignored the pro-
posals of their opponents for har.
nony on basis of one State con-
ve!ltion, the Union Republicans will
soon issue Il call for a State conve,l.
ton of their own. There is talk
among the Addicks men of making
II straight-out fight, but it is not
probable that this will be done in
New Castle county. One of the
Union Republican organs, supposed
to voice the sentiments Of Secretary
of State Layton, declares that every
Regular sympathizer should be
fred from the County COMMITTEES
meetings of the Union Republicans,
and that all talk of a compromise
should cease. 1t is pointed out that
an examination of the voting list
would show that a fight of the un-
ion Republicans against both the
Democrats and Regulars would not
be hopeless one.
If the Addicks forces desire to
make IL straight-out fight, they could
not find q better time. They are in
control of the election machinery,
and the Addicks State officials, who
were agreed upon on the last ticket
hold over. Only the "Kegulars"
would go out. In addition, if it is
determined to make the fight alone,
the new Aldicks trolley company in
! Kent county could, without objec-
ton, use Il few men SO to cause sew.
crAl districts to become Republican
and increase the strength Of Union
Republicans in the Legislature.

Sampson and Saylor paid a very

Elsensohn. In short they told the
teachers the institute conducted
here by Mr.. Elsensohn was the
nearest their ideal of any institute

This western country. Such a high
compliment coming from men as
high up in educational work as
these two professors is one that
should be highly appreciated by

RUN AWAY FROM HOME.
Boys Take French Leave From

The two little boys who have
been making their home with Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Faulkner out on
the prairie, and who made an At
tempt to poison the Faulkners,
have both run away since their
scheme was detected. They are
aged - and IA years respectively
and had been taken from an or
phanage at San Francisco to raise.
As Mr.. aud Mrs Faulkner have
no children of their own they had
executed a will Of all their prop
erty in favor OK the boys. This,
il connection with being miffed at
some imaginary wrong done them,
is supposed to have been the cause
Of their attempt to poison the peo-
pie who had given them home
and were caring for them as well
as loving parents would have done.

and it is supposed that in a few
days he returned ard conxed the
other to leave also.

The FREE Press, or the temper
AIRY editor thereof, is extremely
tired Of the continual prating OF
two or three democratic papers in
tnis state about the harmony that
exists in the party. 1t reminds
us of the story of the boy whistline
as he passes the graveyard
to keep up courage. Every body is
aware of the fact that at this time
there is no harmony nor a SEM
blance of harmony. IF those pa
pers which are continually harping
about harmony would do even one
thing to help bring about such a
condition all party differences
would soon fade away and the
party millennium would soon be a,
hand. But they don't do it. One
day they talk harmony and the
next they are poking sharp stick
at someone who doesn't think at
they do. Such practices are de
ceiving, non-politic and disgusting
Call of such practices, boys, and
get down to solid business. Party
success is at stake and is ours BY
asking for it in the proper spirit
but this business of antagonizinf
this or that man because he be
longs to the other faction has gor
to be dropped, or the republicans
will be celebrating our defeat thu
