DER THE MOUNTAINS
THR0 THE ORCHARDS
BouIevafds Planned by Energetic Busi-
ness Men, .-Redstone, Hanging
Lake And Other Points
to be Reached
HAVE FORMED AN ASSOCIATION

What is destined to be one of the
greatest movements ever started in this
city was launched last Friday night
when dozen men met in the parlors
of Hotel Glenwood and took up the
much-debated question, Glow can we
improve the roads?"
Notwithstanding the fact that more
or less "hot air. has been INDUCED
in and thousands of dollars have been
spent in efforts to keep the roads
open, they ars rarely, if ever, in good
condition. Nature plays the leading
role in destroying all mountain roads,
but little care at the right time
would be of greater benefit than more
labor at later date.
Thus it would seem that the time
for talking is almost past and that a
concerted effort on the part of the en-.
tire people should be started. This
seem; to have been the idea which
caused the Friday night meeting, and
chosen for the discussion of such n
subject than on Lincoln's Tooth birth
day anniversary?
The dozen men devoted some time
in preliminary work, and discussed
what TO them seems possible in the way
Of permanent improvements on tn.
roads lpadipp east west and south
from the city.

ONE VIEW oF THE INCOME TAX.

a RGUING about the income tax, a Chicago
L newspaper, which is regarded as one Of
the most conservative Of that cit makes light
of the fears that Congress, if granted the power
to levy an income tax would impose it upon the
laborer, the mechanic and the servant girl to the
extent of one-tenth of one-quarter OF his or her
wages.
The Tribune points out that while Congress
would have that power, there would be no prob
ability that such tax would be imposed simply
because the persons affected would not stand
for il" and they would be sufficient in numbers
to defeat any party that would undertake to
levy such a tax.
The income tax was in operation during the
civil war, but it exempted the classes mentioned,
and the income tax in England also exempts
them.
Therefore, under the proposed income tax the
classes would be affected that would be unable
to resist successfully, unable to command enough
votes 10 turn the party that levied the tax out
OF power But it would not be well to be too
sure of that In proportion to their numbers,
the rich exert vastly more influence upon the
legislation of the country and upon its politics
than do the men of moderate circumstances or
the poor, The latter have the votes, but they
don't seem TO have the influence.
In considering income taxes the idea of most
writers has been to levy such taxes on pro-
gressive scale. They argue on the principle that
the wealth of the country should directly bear
its taxes and that all above certain figure Of
mans income is not needed for necessities but
goes for uxuries. 1t is presumed that the wage
earners have not more than is required by necess-
ity, and therefore, they should be exempted from
income taxes. On the proper limit of exemption
all are not agreed, but many writers think that
an exemption under FIVE thousand Is too high
and some think that incomes as low as FIVE
hundred dollars should be taxed even though the
tax be very slight.

UNCLE SAM BRINGS
DRY REGION PLANTS

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-Durng the
last year the Department of Agricul-
ture has brought into the United states
over 2000 carefully selected plants from
various parts of the world, with a view
to diversifying the products of the soil
in thsi country. Special regard has
been paid TO the introduction of plants
that will grow in sections in which
either the drought or the severe cold
has made it nearly impossible to OBJ
tain crops of any kind. These plants
have been placed I'm the hands of pri-
vate eXperimenters and Official plant
breeders. The results thus far obtain
ed in dometsicating them have beeG
very encouraging.
Some of the most important OF the
plants have been gathered from arid
po~sf-- ~-'-- and IL is believed
they can be adapted to the dry States
of the Southwest. Among these is a
Chinese date palm that it is said re-
sists drought and produces a valuable
fruit. New seedless persimmons have
been brought here. pears, apricots and
cherries of especial value being among
other importations.
A new clover from the lIimalaya
mountains can be grown in the hottest
portions of the southwest.

great group of garment factories located on
tract of land along the shores Of Lake Michigan,
where the business of the Garment Makers Asso-
citation may be established
Abundance OF light and fresh air. two prime
requisites for healthfu work. will be provided.
The grounds will be kept in sanitary and at
tractive condition, and smoke and dirt will b.
eliminated Special provision will be made for
the welfare of all employees Under the plan of
placing these factories along the lake front it is
believed that not only will the employees be bene-
fitted, but the cost of manufacture Of garments
will be reduced.
For the plan to be carried out successfully
homes must be provided for the workers near the
factories. Churches and schools and other
things that go to make up a town would be
needed The problem would resolve itself into
whether the laborers would prefer the colony
life to life in great city with its sweat shops,
its hustle and dirt and its many disadvantages
which, nevertheless seem to be the magnet that
attracts vast numbers of workers to the narrow
confines of city life.
If the colony idea should be established, the
normal working conditions would be greatly
improved, and with the abandonment of the
sweat shops there ought to be an improvement
in the health and welfare of those who arc too
often the victims of labor under most unfavorable
conditions in large modern city.

has increased from a yearly average OF
s23i 100000 TO Siii,0 100000. or nearly seven
ty- six per cent. Al the same time. It
is stated. many conditions affecting the
lives OF the farmers OF the country have
advanced in even greater ratio. until
many fthe undesirable features Of farm
life have been eliminated. and many in
inovations introduced have developed
into potential forces for tho betterment
Of farm life during that oeriod During
these twelve years there has been n great
diversihcation and geographic extension
Of products, apart from the cultivation
of new land. Although there has been
a decreasing production per acre OF what
was only recently virgin soil. there was
an increased production per acre Of the
entire country showing a more intelli-
gent and intensified cultivation. The
progress made by the farmer. the de-

PROTECTING
THE PARTRIDGES
Game Association Acquaints
Hunters With Law Regard
ing the Birds

The Delaware Game Protective As
ISOLATION distributed early this year,
principally in the lower counties, 100
pairs of Hungarian partrldges. They
were frequently seen after liberation
and up to the nesting season, and re-
ports are now coming in as to the re-
suit of the experiment of introducing
these new game birds. one correspon-
dent writes that the tenant on the farm
on which he placed those that were
sent him, has seen two coveys Of young
birds, from fifteen to twenty in each
covey, about half grown and doing
well, and feels quite confident that II
they can be kept from being killed,
they will become beautiful in few
years.
In this connection attention is called
to the law passed at the last session
Of the Legislature protecting these
birds, and which is as follows:
Section 1. That from and after the
passage Of this Act it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person in the State of Della
ware to hunt, kill, take or destroy sell
or expose for sale, or have in his pos
session after the same has been killed
any hungarian partridge or partridges
before the first day of December, A.
d. 1913.
Section .. That if any person shall
be found within the State of Delaware
hunting willfully killing. taking or de-
stroying, selling or exposing for sale,
or having in his possession after the
same has been killed any Hungarian
partridge or partridges, such person
shal lbe deemed guilty of a common
nuisance and upon conviction thereof
before any justice of the peace in this
State shall be fined Twenty five Dol
lars for each and every offense.
Section g. That the Justices of the
peace shall have plenary jurisdiction
of all offenses against the provisions OF
this Act.
In other States in which these birds
have been introduced their success has
been very marked. and theer is nc
reason why they should not become
lplentiful with us If the above law is
rigidly observed and the association in
tends fha tit shall be, so far as lies in
| its power to enforce it,

0 YOU POTATO BUG,
HERE'S YOUR DEATH !

Bulletin SO, OF the U. 81 Bureau Of
Entomology, gives directions for get
ting rid Of potato bugs, as they re-
suit OF a series of experiments. It is
recommended that the poisons be put
on in a liquid solution with a spray
pump rather than in a dry form. as the
results will be as good or better and
the cost much less. One difficulty with
the use Of the land plaster mixture is
that IL causes an acid condition OF the
soil. which Is injurious. II is also re-
commended that the poison (either
Paris green or arsenate of lead, be dis
solved in Bordeaux mixture as the
lime prevents the arsenic from burning
the foliage, and the Bordeaux appears
TO have a beneficial effect, increasing
the yield of potatoes. The growers are
advised 20 purchase power spraying
outfits. which will enable them 70 apply
the poison promptly and to go over
their fields at least three times during
the season. In this way they may save
the cost Of the power outfit in a single
season.

MYSTERY oF couNcIL.

- ITY Council seems to be in no hurry 10 pay
- the faithful subpoena servers and the wit
nesses who testified at the recent hearings of
the contests. The expense may be more than
Council fances and perhaps 1t is debating
whether the tax rate will have to be increased
That bill for stenography came high and must
have iolted the Democratic councmen, for such
things are expensive and arc not done for fun.
That some of the witnesses are restless was
evidenced by the fact that one of them pre-
pared TO deliver an Grafton TO the councilmen,
telling them why he should be promptly paid
Unless the money is forthcoming the witnesses
may march on Council in a body and tell a story
different from that which they told at the hearing.
And their new story might be just as interesting.
So far as the subpoena servers are concerned,
the case of delayed pay is not so bad. Three OF
them have been rewarded with lucrative Offices.
The appointment of Mr.. Quinn TO a well paying
position led TO the suspicion at the time that
behind the Second Ward contest was not so
much desire TO show up alleged fraud as
wish to secure fine paving position for one OF
those active in the preparation of the case. But
that is politics as 1t is played, and no one can
blame Mr.. Quinn for getting one of the good
things of 4 substantial nature along with his
activity in behalf of the Democrats In the Second
Ward. Party patriotism is stimulated BY a
good office And why should 1t not be?
Mr.. McNabb Of the subpoena squad however,
so far has been left out in the cold Mr. McNabb
always was a faithful follower, or leader, or
office holder, as the case might be, and he prob
ably thinks that if the reward does not come at
present. it will come in the future. Mr.. McNabb
is a political philosopher as we'll as a wit. We
DO not presume he is objecting very much, be-
cause il he should "holler' as loud for pay as he
is reputed to have "hollered' for witnesses in
the Second Ward. Mr.. Kane, Chairman of the
Finance Committee would certainly have TO
stuff discarded subpoenas in his own acute cars
to keep out the noise.
How about the witnesses and about the five or
six negroes who declared that they had voted
the Democratic ticket, an assertion which thor
oughy convinced Democratic gazers into the
future that the negroes were ready to break
their political shackles. Are they going to be
paid and what is to be their reward? Surely
1t would not cause panic in the city finances TO
settle with them.
In fact there seems to be a mystery sur
rounding the refusal of Council to pay promptly
the witnesses. 1t may take anothet conference
in down town hotel to solve it. Just as much
OF mystery is it as the reason why the half
dozen negroes were converted TO the Demo
cracy.
IF Council doesn't pay them soon, the wit
nesses may, as we have said, suddenly appear
before that BODY and tell everything they know
and perhaps some things that they don't know
We warrant that should they do so, some of the
Democratic Councilmen would not ask that theii
savings be recorded in the minutes.
