A BANKERS VIEW OF TAFT.

q HARLES LANIER, a prominent New York
- banker, on the eve Of his departure for Eu-
rope the other day, declared that he was not a
pessimist regarding present industrial and busi-
ness conditions. If Taft is elected, said Mr. Lam
ier business men will be reassured and there will
be a complete return of prosperity. This indi-
Gates somewhat of a change towards Taft-that
is if Mr.. Lanier represents the views of any con-
siderable number of New York hnanciers Not
so long ago the inancers were bitterly opposed
both to Taft and Roosevelt, and it was suggested
that industrial conditions would continue de-
pressed unless the movement for the nomination
of Taft were called off.
Now it seems to be accepted that Taft will be
nominated and elected, and the business men in
New York propose to make the best of the stu-
alton. And why should they not do so? 1t is
ridiculous to assume that with Taft as President
the country will go to smash.
The statement of Mr.. Laner, however, indi-
Gates that Taft, as against a Democratic candi-
date, will be supported even by the magnates
who have opposed Roosevelt
Should the Democrats nominate "conserva-
tive" and even with Taft as the opponent, the
Democratic candidate would not only be Parker
lied by the Bryan men, but he would probably
find that the support promised by the so-called
conservatives" and independents OF New York
would prove delusion.

STATE REVENUE.

A CYNIC remarked the other day that II
n the State Commission which is consider
ing the revision Of our revenue laws, provides
anv new sources of revenue and the State treas
,rv is enriched the politicians will at once begin
TO create new offices or increase the salaries OF
those holding offices so as to eat up the money.
We hope and believe there is no truth IN tins
In the FIRST place it is doubtful just what the
State Revenue Commission will do, and then
what it does do will amount to nothing unless the
CLIQUE that controls the State Senate at Dover
approves
The commission may be very wise may go eX-
haustively into the subject of taxation, may de-
wise scheme that would vastly improve our tax
alton SYSTEM but it has power only to recon-
mend and its recommendations must pass mus
ter Of the State Senate. If the commission dis
cover sources of revenue which touch the special
interests the latter will begin operations on the
State Senate, and then will come a succession Of
compromises and jugglery such as marked the
efforts of the City Council of Wilmington to-
wards adding to our taxation system at the last
session of the Legislature
We believe, however, that there will be no fur
ther effort to increase salaries Of any State or
county, or city officials.
These salaries for the present are sufficiently
high When one considers the low rate paid
school teachers, who really work, compared with
the salaries paid some officials who work but lit
tie 1t becomes evident that the salary list of State
officials should not be enlarged.
The expenses Of the State government have
been increasing lately. A falling off in the State
revenue is expected from the decrease in the re-
ceipts from licensing corporations, and the prob
lem Of how to secure revenue for the State can
not be avoided. One thing is clear. That is
there should be no further increase OF salaries
and no new jobs created

IMPROVING LITTLE RIVER.

nOVER business men have forwarded to the
- War Department a petition asking that
Little creek-L.ittle river we mean, for it is now
good form" to speak of what were creeks in our
boyhood days as rivers-be recognized" and
improved.
The petition is meritorious and should receive
thorites AS the Dover merchants say, the open
ing of Little river would enable them to receive
much of their freight by water thereby saving
them thousands of dollars annually.
Water transportation is material benefit not
only to the merchants, but also to the farmers of
Kent county.
Our senators and congressman should urge the
War Departments board of engineers to approve
the report recommending the dredging of Little
river and the opening of that stream to naviga-
tiOn.

LIABILITY IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

ROM an exhaustive study of conditions
abroad, the United States Bureau of Labor
concludes that the foreign workman is vastly
better protected in case Of injury than his Ameri-

abroad IS far greater than in this country
The results of the study are embodied in a spe-
cial report. "Ihe impossibty Of adequately Sc

BOARD OF TRADE AND SCHOOLS.

4 sents the Board OF Trade proposes to as
sist the Board of Education in the endeayors OF

nrblic schools so that our system OF public eau-
cation shall be improved and be IN line with the
nroeressive work being done in other cities.
OF course everything cannot be brought ABOUT
at once. We cannot make the desired improve
nents bv leaps and bounds, but the friends oi the
schools can keep persistenty pegging away lot
the Improvement Of the schools and they wl ao-
compiish some things at the beginning and more
as they go along. .....
The Board Of Trade committee Tor instance,
can show to Council that others besides the
BOARD of Education are interested IN the schools
and when body Ike the Board OF Trade, repre-
senting a large element Of citizenship, speaks OUT
Council IS sure to heed. The Board OF Trade can
assist in creating healthful public sentiment re-
earding the schools. Surely nothing is OF more
importance to the people OF this city than the
schools They mould the future citizens and the
America of tomorrow will be largely what the
schools make it.
The Board OF Trade and the Board OF Educa-
ton. however have a large task confronting them
;u dealing with the question OF appropriations ior
the schools, but they might as well begin now
AZ at any other time to try to influence public

If fish is the greatest brain food.
as scientists have said. then Boston
is in a fair way TO outstrip the rest Of
the country in brain development with

there were brought to T wharf
the greatest fish mart of the coun-

various other species of the deep.
This enormous catch has been brought
by 100 schooners, round numbers, So

the day following.

ers average 20 men to the vessel

about $40, representing from five days
to between two and three weeks at
sea. OF course. the sums vary, accord
ing TO the vessel, the catch and the

Evans Wood was elected president, j.

Gardener secretary; E. C. Eglus
Treasurer. Twenty members joined
and already there are a number of ap-
plications. The club extends cordial
invitation to all in the town or sorround-
ing country to join in this boosting
club for the upbuilding of the commun-
ity. The membership fee was placed
at 81 and the quarterly dues at 81.
Governor Gooding started the treasury
department of the club with a contri-
button of $50.
The question of organizing centeral
school at Gooding is receiving great
deal of attention. Saturday the people
of districts l, and 10 will be asked
to vote on the subject merely as an ex-
preston of public opinion. The elect
ion has no legal bearing on the subject.
The law for organizing such districts Is
found on page IS, section of the re-
vised school laws for Idaho and reads as
follows. Provided further, that two
or more districts lying contiguous, may,
upon pitition signed by majority of
the head families residing in each of
the distrits, be consolidated to form
one district" That is certainly author
ity enough for any such purpose and
is published here because a statement
is being circulated for the purpose of
the decision of some parties
to the effect that there is no
law authorizing the organization of
district and that if this
at Gooding is carried out
favorably to the central district the
matter will be taken into court. If
YOU are in favor of this district don't
let such argument scare you out.
Just read the school law yourself.

ermakers and members of kindred
trades working in the Denver & Rio
Grande shops, struck after confirma-
ton that the railroad refused any
concessions.
''The strike will ultimately spread

indication that the struggle will be

The strike was the result OF an

ago. abrogating all contracts with
the unions. Since then numerous
conferences we're held. but 1t was i'm
possible to reach an agreement.
