CRIMINAL COURT EXPENSES.
Totals four years prohlbitlon.....

The average amount spent for criminal
cases according to the preceding table,
during four years of license was 81, 1918.
The average for the four succeeding
years of alleged prohibition was Sl4,-
974. "a. But to be fair, the money col
lected from license should be deducted
from the amount spent for the criminal
court, since the prohIbitionists insist that
license increases crime or at least law
breaking. Hence the average cost OF the
criminal courts during the four years Of
license was only the difference between
Sl1, 761. 70 and 81, 653. 90 or a net cost Of
81, l07.64 as against $l4, 974,54 for the
dry year costs. 1t has cost Cecil county
more than twice as much to conduct its
criminal cases-and these figures do not
include the Jail expenses-during the
"dry" years of 1903 to 1907, than for Ii
censed years of 1899 to 1903. The fore
going table could be strengthened for the
cause OF common sense and of the license
system by adding to it the Jail expenses
for the last eight years, but as it stands it
should forever silence the boisterous rel
teration that license increases crime and
the costs for liquor regulation.
In the constitution of Maryland it is
wisely provided that no man shall go to
trial without counsel. During the last
four ''dry" years Cecil county paid yearly
for counsel fees (average), $2,4SO,0O.
The average thus paid during the four
preceding "wet" years was only 81, lO4.'
90. The witness fees for the four wet"
years averaged $535.00; for the four 'dry'
years more than 81, 10000. Comment is
unnecessary.
There is another little table from which
the intelligent and unprejudiced reader
can get much enlightenment. Since New
Castle county, with whose tax rate a COM
parison is made, does not levy county
tax for schools, the same had to be de-
Quoted from the Cecil county rate. The

Note the steady rise of the value of tax.
able property in New Castle county and
the almost hysterical fuctuation of the
same in Cecil county. Perhaps the tenn
perance leaders made and unmade the
Cecil values. Cecil pays a state tax
There is no assessment for state tax in
Delaware, Note also the Cecil tax rate
for the four "wet" years and compare
them with the same rates for the succeed
ing dry" years. During the "wet" period
the rates average 76.5 per cent. During
the "dry" years SO per cent. When the
farmers of Cecil county we're paying tax
at the rate of SO the farmers of New Castle
county paid at the rate of S6.5. The
reader will readily understand that the
New Castle rate is made up by the addi-
ton of the road tax to the county and
poor, since in Cecil the road tax has been
included with the county tax during all
these years. Every public account touched
in Cecil county shows at once that county
taxes and county expenses have gone up
since the license system was voted down
in.l902, by a combination of the honest
Temperance men and the friends of the
speakeasies. Even the population has de-
creased.

There Is reason, at once conclusive,
for the apparent decrease in New Castles
population. One has only to consider the
areas taken from the county and added
to the city of Wilmington, creating the
Ninth, Eleventh and Twelfth wards, and
adding to the area and population of the
Second and Seventh wards. These changes
and extentions of Wilmington's lines
must have transferred thousands of people
from the country to the city. There has
been no such cause at work in Cecil
county. The cause of Cecirs depreciation
is referred to again and again by the bus
mess men of Elkton, whose graphic inter
views appear above.
They all agree that "Elkton is dead.
