THAT STATE TAX SUGGESTION.

r OR some time there have been hints from
Il Democratic sources that in order to IN
crease the revenues OF the State IT might become
necessary to place a State tax on real estate.
When the tax commission met at Dover several
months ago these rumors were IN circulation
Some farmers believed them, and Democratic
newspapers which have been regarded as the
mouthpeces of the public service corporations
gave the reports currency.
Now there are more hints OF the possible ne
cessitv of the State tax on land In the face of
these reports member of the tax commission
again explained that State tax on land was not
thought of by the commissioners. Evidently,
however. a State tax on land is thought OF by
some Democrats and by the public service cor
porations that want to shift any increase OF taxes
TO the land owners, who now pay the burden OF
taxation From this agitation, this preparing the
way for a State tax on land, 1t is reasonable 10
conclude that should the Democrats win the
coming election "a strong effort will be made by
them 10 formulate the new tax suggestions into
recommendations that State tax be levied upon
land.
PERHAPS this explains the activity OF the
public service corporations at the Democratic
State convention and their frantic efforts TO eject
DR.. Pavnter governor. Are the Democrats under
a pledge to protect the public service corpora
tions from paying a fair share OF taxes by adVo-
eating State tax on real estate? And are the as
saults upon Mr. Pennewil, the candidate Tor
governor made simply because it is known THAI
he would not favor a State tax on land at the be-
hest OF the public service corporations and their
political allies

tween the employer and the employe. 1t was as
sumed that the doctrine of self interest on the
part Of both employer and employe would evenly
balance everything so that there would be no
friction.
But what really follows such non-interference? I?
Long hours of work low pay, the exploitation OF
women and children, the dragging of all forces OF
labor to the cart of capital, and capital to pay in
wages as little as possible.
That is what happens in Southern Democratic
States. where there is little or no Legislation for
the protection of workers, where hours of labor
are long for women ami children, and where
unions are frowned upon.
Indeed. held out to graspng manufacturers is
the temptation to go to the South. where there is
no bar to the exploitation of labor to It's fullest
possible extent These conditions exist in that
part of the country where the Democracy is SUI
preme. The States which have the most advanced
Tabor legislation" where the law looks after the
safety OF the mass of workers, are Republican
States. The Republican party has always stood
for free labor
Therefore it is rather odd to find Gompcrs and
BRYAN in a league and no wonder the President
pitches in TO show the phantom that labor is
chasing when it seeks to link It's fortunes with
those OF the Democratic party.

ON THEIR OWN FARMS.

INQUIRIES as to farm ownership and aban-
doned lands conducted by the State Depart
ment of agriculture of South Carolina brought
out the fact that there is but little abandoned
land in that State. 1t was further shown that the
tendency in the State is towards smaller farm
holdings and the move is from tenant farming to
ownership cultivation. The same results are
shown by an examination of farming conditions
in Georgia according TO one of the leading
papers of that State There arc no abandoned
farms. and the owners arc largely cultvatng
their own land
From these reports it would seem that the nc
groes of the two States must be getting hold OF
some of the land and are owning their own prop
critics.
The manufacturing establishments in the
South have not vet made great drain upon the
labor supply, and the idle class may not be so
large as it is in some Of the border States. The
labor problem is probably not so acute. The ten
denoy towards smaller farmers is noticeable
everywhere, and it will not be many years before
the lands in Delaware are divided into smaller
farms. Then the rural regions of the State, with
good farmers, will blossom as the rose.
