STRANGE NOTION, THIS.

IT HERE were some queer antics i'll the Legs-
u lature at Dover yesterday. The measure
providing for semi-monthly pay OF employees OF
corporations was defeated Many concerns pay
their men weekly, and the monthly system
causes much inconvenience to the hundreds OF
workers who, with the increased cost of living,
are put to annoyance because their wages are not
more frequently received. The present method
means the running up of bills to the butcher, the
baker and the candestick maker Semi-nonthly
payments would be much better for the men,
Mr. Richards, one of the members who opposed
the bill, made a very unseemly remark during
the debate in the House He declared that he
was opposed to the bill because it would give
some of the workingmen more OF an opportunity
to squander their money by getting drunk
II there any employees who would be af-
fected by this law in Mr.. Richards district we
fancy that they will not be slow in rcbuling him
for his uncallcd for words II is not in the prov
ince of the member from Mill Creek hundred to
act as special guardian for the vast number Of
men, wealth producers of the land. According to
his logic, all persons who work for salary or
wages should be paid in monthly installments, so
that they could the better resist the temptation Of
spending their money Tor liquor. But reverse the
viewpoint and by Mr. Richards method OF rea-
soning the men, when they get their monthly pay,
should go upon prolonged sprees. The police
records show such result If Mr. Richards
should inquire Of the character Of employees of the
large corporations he would find that as a rule,
they are sober and Industrious If they were not,
they would not be able to hold their positions.
The large corporations are becoming more and
more stringent in their requirements that their
men, especially those who work for the railroad
companies, shall be sober at all times.
There was another bill that went to an untime-
ly grave. 1t was the measure governing the hours
Of telegraphers. Persons not familiar with this
occupation do not know the tresome strain and
responsibility for human life involved in the ar
duous labors the telegraphers the railroad have

I'm LIEU OF ALL TAXES

W Z WONDER il that little rider ''in lieu
of all other taxes" has galloped again
into the bill before the Legislature at Dover to
fix the State taxes to be paid by the various rail-
road corporations operating in Delaware. Rec
ognizing the united sentiment of the State that
the railroads should begin to pay fair share Of
taxes, at least, the House committee has recon-
mended an increase Of $4,000 in the taxes of the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington rail-
road, and $4,000 in the taxes of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad
Wilmngtons members Of the Legislature
should glue their eyes on the amended bills and
sec that they do not deprive this city and county
OF a right to collect just share OF taxes upon
property of the railroad corporations hereabouts
The lesson was learned in the Levy Court last
June when certain property Of the p. B. and w.
railroad was assessed for county purposes, and
railroad lawyers bobbed up with the little exemp-
ton that the taxes should be paid to the State "in
lieu of all other taxes" BY this tiny phrase inno-
cent enough at the time, slipped into the railroad
tax bill few years ago, was New Castle county
baked in its efforts to collect fairs hare Of
taxes. Is the county to suffer again by the same
method?

PAY on SCHOOL TEAcHERs.

II HE women school teachers Of New York
\ arc having their troubles as we'll as those
OF the same sex elsewhere There are $4,000 of
them in Gotham and there are 1900 teachers OF
the opposite in the same city. The women
teachers want equal pay for equal work This is
broad principle that is advocated theoretically
but is not carried out in practice. Some Of the
friends OF the women teachers believe that their
inability to command the same salaries that the
men receive, is because the women have no votes
and therefore, presumably, no political influence.
This may be true but women do have political
power when they elect to exert it. The appeal
OF the women teachers in New York is based
upon justice and nothing else. The women re-
ceive salaries OF 5000 year while the men get
5000 annually for the same work Neither salary
is high or even fair, considering the expenses of
living in the metropolis The New York system
also operates that when the salary of the
woman teacher is increased the advance is $40.
while the man gets SIos increase This plan
works evident injustice to the woman Many
excuses are offered for the discrimination one of
which is that the women teachers are birds of
passage" teachers one day and brides the next.
This is true in instances, but fortunately or un-
fortunately, there are many teachers who do not
SO easily slide from their books to the altar of
matrimony. But if this is correct Of the women
it is also applicable TO the men, Many man has
engaged in teaching merely as a stepping stone
and a sure at that, to something different
The school marin of New York is entitled 10
svery consideration Just as are those Of Delaware
where there is also an agitation for higher salar-
les for the teachers. An advance in their wages
must come sooner or later and that is one OF the
reasons why the question Of increasing the rev.
snues Of this city and state is so important.

City Council has scaled down its plan to taA
the public service corporations by dropping from
a three per cent of the gross receipts to two per
cent. This has been announced as acceptable to
the corporations themselves, and if this is true,
there is no reason why the bills before the Legs-
ature should not be passed. They would bring
to the city financial relief and at the same time
would not even according to the representatives
of the corporations themselves, work hardship
upon them.
