MAY URGE INCOME TAX.

TT MAY well be assumed that the President in
4 his coming message to Congress will take
no backward step in his advocacy of measures
dealing with industrial conditions 1t seems
probable In view OF his past utterances that the
President will favor an inheritance tax and also
a tax upon incomes The just income tax should
be progressive one, and this would be the only
kind of measure advocated
Should the President favor these reforms they
will undoubtedly receive much attention and it
will not be long before the widespread agitation
of such taxes will begin. They will be fought
bitterly by those people who think that because
they are wealthy the other fellow who is not so
rich should pay the taxes.
In fact, that is. the way our present taxation
system really works locally, in practice. Small
dwelling houses in this city, for instance, are
taxed at their full valuation. AS the dwellings
increase in size their comparative valuation grows
less. Then when we approach certain public
service corporations of great wealth, their taxes
are almost nominal, considering the valuable priv
eges and franchises they enjoy Nationally an
income tax would equalize this system and do
some sort of justice. We believe the President
will advocate both the income and inheritance
taxes, and he will have many supporters

crimes, particularly that of the Kidnapping Of
Eddie Cudahy, of Omaha, for which he received
$4,000 in ransom money.
Speaking of his acquittal at Omaha. he says Of
the verdict Of the jury:
"The jurors did it for the same reason that
led me to the lidnapping-a belief that the law
of our land has ceased to be thing of justice
and right for alour people"
Grove says he is no anarchist in making such a
statement and explains his point OF view as
follows:
The big fortunes that have been made in
this country have been mostly made by men
who have broken the law Mr. Cudahy, for
instance. has been called to Chicago on the
charge that he and others of the notorious
beef trust have been making illegal contracts
which allowed them to make fabulous for
tunes
held Eddie cudahy until the money was
paid. Mr. Cudahy in restraint of trade, held
the peoples food until the money was paid.
II had been found guilty ] would have
been sentenced for ten years or more. If
Mr. Cudahy had been found guilty he would
probably have got off with fine.
Rather a startling parallel?
OF course, Grove is not justified in his crime
though the jury seemed to think so-by the
crime Of another.
But the cx-bandit is arguing in the larger
court Of equity. His speech is that of the crude
citizen who cannot understand the subtleties of
a law that permits one man to steal million and
sends another man to prison for stealing $4,000,
More than that
lie reveals the suspicion of plain people re-
specting the unequal enforcement of the law and
emphasizes the old truth that if the law is to be
respected it must be thing of justice to all the
people.

NEGROES ARE

State Educators Ask State TO
Suppress Breeders of
Vice

Members OF the Delaware state Col
ored Teachers Institute met in Dover
last week and an enjoyable and in
structive session, presided over by Pro-
fessor Isaac w. Howard, A. b., Of Sea-
ford, was held.
During the session strong resolutions
were passed regarding the increase OF
crime among the colored race, and It
was urged upon the authorities 10 take
the necessary steps to suppress It.
The resolutions adopted were as fol-
lows:
Whereas, AS we view with grave ap-
prehension the increase Of the criminal
element among our race, and the
alarming spread OF the mob spirit in
our country; and the terrible effects
accruing therefrom; and
Whereas, The latter was fomented
by certain representatives OF the
Southern press in their efforts to rem
der secure the position of the Demo-
craoy Of the state OF Georgia; and
Whereas. We owe our present EN-
cient system of schools to the palms.

present corps of able superintendents;
and
ents and county commissioners have
had cause to complain Of the ineom-
potency Of the local school commits
sioners Of our race, and have express
ed their desire by word and through
the medium Of the press to eurtail their
/ powers; and
Whereas, We believe that only the
continued solicitation Of our able
champions in this the evolutionary
state Of our development can place our
schools on the same basis as the pro-
igressive systems OF our sister States
to the North and West; therefore be II
Resolved. That we, the colored
teachers OF the state OF Delaware in
convention assembled do call upon the
authorities to suppress by law those
places among US, the breeders OF vice,
and enforce the vagrancy law.
That we call upon the coming ses-
sion of the Delaware Legislature to
pass a compulsory educational law for
the purpose OF increasing the number
OF the intelligent and upright citizens
among us.
That it be the unanimous voice of
this cOnvention-the idea OF substitute
ing a colored superintendent; that the
'abolishing Of our present system would
he detrimental to our progress and a
subversion Of our interests
That we endorse the proposed
changes in the school law, advocated
by our county superintendents relative
to the Capitalization OF certain pow
ers in the hands Of the county school
commission or some other responsible
body.

Hiah speed Over canaI.


Editor The Evening Journal.
Months ago. Just after the wreck In
Salisbury. England in which twenty
seven persons were killed, / noticed
a great deal OF newspaper comment on
the faulty system Of English railways;
OF how the company there was guilty
OF criminal negligence IN permitting
It's trains to be operated at such high
speed, ana so on. WELL since then.
We have had several railroad disasters
I'm this county, each one more dread
full than the one in England. Have
you noticed how little are said shout
them in our papers7 Take for example
the catastrophe at Atlantic City, in
which some SIXTY lives were lost. The
public prosecutor there, rushed into
print saying what he was going 10 do.
and how thoroughly he was going 10
investigate the affair, even II il landed
some one IN Jail, and wound up by do
ing nothing OF importance-just as
usually happens I'm cases where. big
corporation makes a blunder.
Now the question IN my mind is this
Why can't the Pennsylvania profit by
this experience. II you have ridden
much down the Delaware Road. you
have probably noticed, that since tho
stone abutments have been put in at
| the Delaware Canal, that the trains
take" the draw there at a much
| higher speed than they used TO. Now
imagine the draw TO be out of line a
fraction Of an inch when some express
train reaches Il. Atlantic City horror
all over again; and you don't have to
be told theresult. Don't you think Il
would be wise for the trains to "slow
down" a bit2 and can't you say a word
for the protection OF the passengers
who daily go over this canal?

from traveller on the Delaware Railroad call
ing attention to the constant running of trains
at high speed across the high bridge over the
canal. We do not know whether there are any
switches on the bridge, but if there are, then it
would seem somewhat reckless to run the bridge
at such high speed Jumping the track by
passenger train at that point would probably
result in horrible catastrophe.

A Long Lived Family.

Editor The Evening Journal.
During the past few weeks I have
been up among the hills Of Cecil
county. Maryland New Castle county.
Delaware and Chester counties, Pa.
There is a family OF Eastburns IN New
Castle county who can trace their an
cestry back as far as 1900. In 1907
John Eastburn came over from Eng
land and settled IN America. and now
these Eastburns can be found IN all
most every state in the Union. In
1913 Samuel Eastburn was born in a
large stone house about four miles
from Hockessin. He lived TO be SS
years old and died May g. 1906. in the
same house I'm which he was born. He
did not marry until he was 65 years OF
age. His grandnephew, /. Chandler
Eastburn, now lives in his house, and
as I have had an opportunity to enjoy
the hospitality Of his family. I can say
that they are as kind and entertaining

find. Very respectfully.

Liquor in Candies.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Certain chocolate candies. known as
cordials. which contain a small amount
OF alcoholic liquor are sold quite ex-
tensively 70 children, especially to
those who attend school While the
amount Of liquor in each candy is very
slight. It would be desirable, from a
social standpoint, TO stop the sale Of
such sweets TO children. The con-
stant eating of a small quantity OF
such candles each day is bound to
cause children to cultivate a taste for
liquor as they grow older. with the re-
suit that it might have a bad effect
upon their future careers. If the chill
dren must have candy the good choco-
late creams and other similar sweets
are more preferable and paiatable.

AeadlIahis On AutomobIIes.

Some objection has been made to the
large horns on automobiles and the
manner in which ohauffeurs toot them
on the streets. The claim IS made that
they startle horses and even frighten
people who are on the streets. But
lthink there Is greater objection 10
1.-THE automobile than this Il is the
new headlight that many OF the au-
tomobilists are placing on their ma
chimes. This light is glaring and can
be seen for many squares. II has as
much power as a small searchlight and
completely blinds the person looking at
IT, 1t also frightens the horses and
have seen several OF them run away
upon being faced by the automobile
with its brilliant light l don't think
that this light is at all necessary for
use in the streets Of the city. II was
invented for travel on dark and dan
gerous roads and not for use on city
streets. But owners Of machines think
lit necessary to use everything new
that comes out, whether II is needed or
not. In New York a movement was
/ inaugurated against the placing of
these lights on machines that are op-
ierated within the city limits, and /
