VALUABLE PREMIUM COUPONS WITH EVERY PURCHASE OVER ONE DOLLAR

cordially, but for some minutes thereafter
Walsh could only answer Garibaldrs ques-
tions in monosyllables. He was acting for
all the world just as a timid child would
in the presence OF some strange person Of
whom it stood in awe.
"Garibaldi, noting Mikes timdity, very
gently and tactfuly led him to talk about
American politics. That was Walshs
stamping ground and after a lite while
he forgot himself and in his rough but
convincing way proceeded to describe the
peculiar features of the politics OF that
day. / remember one thing that he said
which impressed Garibaldi forcibly. II was
that the rough and tumble methods of
politics which then prevailed were caused
by people realizing that they were no
longer under kings, but had before them
a life Of political freedom in country
whose opportunities were boundess.
THAT. of course, was not the exact
phraseoiogy that fell from Mike Walsh S
lips: Il was of the rough and ready sort,
and quaint, as were all his replies TO Carl
baldrs many questions. Yet 50 interested
was Garibaldi In Walsh that he seemed
almost unconscious Of my own presence
In fact right up TO the hour Of our de-
parture Garibaldi gave practically all OF
his attention to Walsh and as he badc

THAT PROPOSED MERGER.

n CONIRlBOlO lux VINO SlShS hllhSSH
"A Citizen sees in the proposed merger
Of our electric companies and the purchase OF
the Wilmington City Railway Company by
new corporation, plan which will result in
higher charges for electric service and increased
rates on the trolley lines Bv the merging OF the
electric companies monopoly would be estao-
lished which monopoly would at once proceed
TO advance rates ,,,.,
mington is fortunate in the matter Of electric
current prices and thinks that the companies
are making a fair percentage OF proht even at
the present rates. Our friend asks US to prevent
this proposed coalition OF the companies and
consequent 'hold-up OF the public
We don't know that anything we might say
,yould have anv effect in preventing the coalition
even il the baking OF the plans were desirable
Our contributor evde'.tiy bases his opinion on
the theory that there can be permanent oompe-
tition in public se,ice utilities, Tor he says thdl
ii the coalition Is made, and rates are advanced
The Journal should favor the granting OF iran
chise to another competing company. As we
see it now, we should do nothing of the kind, Tor
in the event of an oppressive combine Oelng
formed and a competing company started IL
would be travelling over the same ground IL
would be only question OF time before tIere
would be a merger between the new competing
company and the old concern
The lighting service has been, on the whole,
satisfactory to the Wilmington consumer. II
both companies arc making profit, they may
continue for some time as competing companies,
but there is always the temptation before them
of how much money could be saved and how
much greater the profit would be If the companies
were united
So far as the purchase OF the City Railway
is concerned we have viewed that with favor,
because we believe with local capital more
largely interested and with local direction,
better service would be rendered.
II f,<.-o..o- e,.1, 4binoc shOuid hannen ae orr
friend who writes the very interesting letter
fears. we should suggest another remedy-that
OF municipal supervision OF the public service
corporations That, and not competing COM
panies wc think would be the remedy. We do
not imagine that the people Of Wilmington
would quietly sit by and sec trolley fares in
creased and the rates for electric lighting service
1'.-,nced without strong and vigorous protest.
The proper way TO deal with public service
corporations and the matters that Citizen has
in mind. according TO our notion, is through
municipal regulation and not through granting
franchises to alleged competing companies. BY
their very nature public service corporations are
monopolies, and should be subject to municipal
regulation.

TAXATION OF IDLE LAND.

nj r. Hogan, whose letters frequently illumi-
i Il nate the columns Of The Journal, and are
always welcome, whether we agree with his
conclusions or not looks at everything from the
point of view of the Single Taxer He takes
advantage of the objections of property owners
to increased assessments by showing that all
their protests would be unnecessary if the
single tax we're in force. Under it, implies Mr..
Hogan, your assessments on your property
would not only not be increased, but you would
have TO pay no tax at all upon your buildings.
Delaware is not yet ready to adopt the single
tax We are taxing wealth in this state, not the
land exclusively, and so long we tax wealth
in the form of buildings that tax should be levied
equitablv and according TO the value of the
properties. There should be no discrimination
OF course even under the present system there
is no excuse for not taxing vacant lots, unused
land according to its full value.
The mere incident that idle land does not pro-
duce revenue for its holders is no reason why
such idle land should not be assessed at its full
value Idle land should not be exempted from
taxation
The owners OF idle land hold it because they
believe it is profitable to do 50, and because they
hope to be able 10 sell it at an advance at some
future time. We quite agree with Mr.. Hogan
on this point. Every bit of idle land about Will
mington should be taxed 10 its full market value,
and If any person can advance valid reason
why it should not be so taxed, we should like to
hear his argument.

Libraries contain many trashy books, not worth

The late Parle Goodwin, editor, author

Il never think OF Garibaldi and his life

which occurred In 1904.

OF our population which came TO this

BAILEY AND THE OLD DEMOCRATS.

CENATOR Bailey, of Texas, the Democratic
- leader in the upper House at Washington
wants the Democrats to go back to the old time
principles The ideas before the war. or at
least during the Cleveland administration, we
presume, are Mr.. Baileys standards.
His views have been approved here and there
by other Democrats who see in a return TO the old
days the salvation OF the party. The Democrats
who take up with the Bailey doctrine not
putting too much stress upon the incidental
victories for the Democrats in the Fourteenth
District of Massachusetts,, where Mr.. Foss
elected, and in Rochester where an unpopular
Republican boss was defeated by a clean cut
Democratic candidate Such victories, they
think, will not restore to the party the conf
dence of the country, and besides they argue
that the Democratic party must be more than a
mere party of protest
But on the other hand, il would be almost
impossible for the Democratic party to go back
10 the old ways. Times have changed and the
issues have changed. The great problems before
the country today are problems affecting the
great corporations and trusts and concentrated
wealth. Such things did not exist in the old
days and there was no need of legislation affect
ing them. Any party to be successful must have
a definite, decisive program for dealing with
these questions The old Democratic idea
would be practically to ignore them or to have
the states and not the Federal government pass
such legislation as may be needed.
