day night issued call for meeting Of
the Republican State Committee to be
held ON Friday, April 20. when the pro-
position for harmony submitted by the
Union Republican State Committee will
be considered.

common primaries to elect delegates to a
reorganization covention.

will be remains to be seen, but they will
apply to the spportionment OF nominees
for Congressman aud state officers among
the three counties, and also provide that
New Castle county shall have, one United

DEAR SIR:-As party interested in the
welfare of our town, I have been reading
the concentrations in the TRANSCRIPT
and was particularly impressed with your
letters. | congratulate you upon your
courage and bravery to ask the questions
you have and sign your own name. To me
it shows that as one interested, land who
shouldent be if the taxpayer isn't) and
only ask to find out whether the state
ments are correct. am sure ifthese COM
missioners are having their light and
water free, they should be willing to &C.
knowledge it, yet to me it does not seem
to be the right thing, il they say they are
giving their services without compensa-
ton, which / believe the charter says
they should do.
Can you tell me why it is the tax rate
of Middletown is higher than any other
town Oh the Peninsula. Our school tax
is also greater. Do you know of any way
we could get the rate of taxes of our
towns, 50 we could have them published
IN our local and city papers before our tax
is levied? if so wish it could be done, so
we could have showing as to our stand
ing. II there is nothing excepthonor to be
derived from serving as Commissioner,
why is it there is such an effort to solicit
our proxies. that certain people may be
elected?
Hope you will pardon ME for writing
such lengthy letter | intended only to
compliment you. =
Hoping that some light may be thrown
on these dark objects. Remain yours,

NO TWO CENT RAILROAD FARE

Governor Warield has settled the fate
OF the several important railroads bills
passed by the Maryland Legislature. He
vetoed the bill requiring railroad to make
a tYo.cent-a-mile rate and also vetoed
tho bill providing for the free transporta-
tion Of certain State officials. In explain
ings his dirapproval Of the latter measure
he said l veto this because l don't
think the railroads should haul me or
any other State official free. have no
favors to ask Of any corporation and am
willing to pay my fare" OF the Two
ceut-a-mile bill the Governor said: 81
investigated this bill very thoroughly and,
in my judgement, its passage would have
worked hardship on great many poor
people. 1t would not apply to big roads
like the Baltimore & Ohio az it would
to smaller roads like the Maryland s.
Pennsylvania. Had the bill become
law / was assured that the railroads
would have been compelled To raise the
rate on commuters and would have been
prevented from issuing cheap excursion
tickets on special occasions. 1.-two cents
a mile had been the maximum charge it
would also have been the minimum.

FoR YoUR CONSIDERATION
announcement to he Eoters and 7aa. Payer,

announcement to The Foters and Tdr- Payers
of MiddlasWa,--
Electric light and town water we take
for granted are two necessities or lux
uries, as you may regard them, that you
want to enjoy here in Middletown.
These Improvements to our town are
bought at price and the price has its
share to do with the assessment of your
property and the raising Of tax.
The tax is levied and is paid with your
dollars. The vital question, is therefore,
are you enjoying these improvements at
as little cost and by the payment OF as few
OF your dollars as is possible. This un-
certainty has recently aroused no little
interest in this community, more discus
sion, and some newspaper comment con-
cerning the management and the method
OF operating the light and water plant b,
the Light and Water Commissioners OF
our town, and lead to an inipromptu
meeting Of representative citizens Of oui
town Saturday evening, April 9Th, and ii
was decided to nominate ticket in OPP
position to the present Light aud Water
Commission to be voted for at the election
70 be held on Monday, May It'll, and we,
the undersigned, were selected as the
candidates to take the places of w. A.
Comegys whose term has expired, and
John S. Crouch, who is filling by appoint
ment, the unexpired term Of John A..
Jolls.
We are not only tax payers, but We
have shown by our interest that we al
ways have been interestered in the ma
terial prosperity OF our town. Wedo not
and we have never considered the present
members of the Light and Water Com.
mission other than fair minded and HON
orable gentlemen, but we do differ With
them in some particulars relative to the
management of the affairs of the Light
and Water Commission, we are free to
admit.
The fact that they are 50 persistent, and
have been since the creation of this posi-
tion, to retain control of this organization
AMONG them, We deem sufficient reason
for the taxpayers TO insist upon change.
We promise, should we be elected, We
will faithfully perform the duties of the
said Office without any compensation
whatever, further than the pleasure We
may derive by constantly working with
your interest as tax payers in view.
II it is impossible for you to personally
cast your vote at this election, or if you
have given your proxy TO another and
have any question as to whether it will
be voted iur your interest, it is your
privilege to recall it, and with your inter-
terests solely in view, We urge your doing
SO. Respectfully submitted,

LETTER TO /. T. WILSON
Middletown, Del.


Dear Sir: People asked how many
square feet gallon will cover. Depends
on conditions of building.
There is great deal of lying OH this
point. The stock claim Of lying paints is
800 square feet, two coats. It's lie, as
rule.
Devoe covers 800 to 500, our agents
think. We think 800 too low and 800
too high; though doubtless, they both oc-
cur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful; We guess 100 to 400
The truth is found in another compar-
ison. Dsyoe is all paint, true paint, strong
paint, and full-measure; the other in gen
eral are, at-the best, diluted, adHlterated
and short-measure. They cover accord
ing to body and measure. You can't
paint with clay lime chalk sand barytes
water or air--no body in them. Go by
Deyoe. Yours truly

ARBTTRATE

The proposition made by the
anthracite coal operators We'd
nesday brings both parties to the
dispute over wages in the anthra.
cite region to common agree,
ment as to arbitration.
They differ as to the issues to
be submitted to the arbitrators'
They agree as to the wisdom and
necessity of arbitration. Three
years ago they reached this con
clusion after half years strug,
gle. They reach it now before a
strike and not after.
This is an advance. The pub,
lie will expect and has a right to
expect that this assent on both
sides to arbitration as principle
will be followed by an agreement
on both sides as to the details OF
the arbitration.
No one expects the miners to
accept the proposition OF the
operators without change, any
more than the operators accepted
the proposition of the miners
without change. Negotiation
must follow. But no difference
over the details can be permitted
to prevent agreement. The
operators have made their con-
cession in accepting arbitration.
In deciding the subjects to go be-
fore the arbitrators the miners
must make their concessions.
The essentials at issue are
those presented by the operators
wages and the constitution of
the Cancellation Board. To these
two. additions may be made or
their staments may be modified;
but these are the final issues be-
tween the parties.
On the "closed shop" or the
exclusive employment of union
men in the mine, the Anthracite
Commission passed before. 1t
condemned. 1t cannot reverse
this decision. 1t should not be
asked to. Neither can it beasked
again to pass on the proposition
that the operators shall be re-
uuired to deduct union dues. No
past decision should be reviewed.
1t will take long enough to pass
on wages.
To the date for the proposed
agreement, three years, 1909, the
miners should agree. 1t is fair
to both and to the public. No
one can justify injecting this dis
pute into u presidential year.
This leaves little to adjust.
Operators and miners should come
together without delay. The
great public of consumers has a
right to demand This. Neither
party will be forgiven if its ob
jections prevent arbitration, and
if either does it will be over
whelmed with public indigna-
ton.
