CASH VALUE ORDER
TO BE RESCINDED
Three Members Of the Board
Against the Governor.
Reasons Given Are That Proper
Foundation Has Not Been Laid
and Injustice VIII Result
From Radical Change.

That the persistent opposition to
the assessment OF the property Of
the state at it's cash value existing
leyies has proven effective was well
evidenced when announcements were
made by State Treasurer o. V. Allen
and Secretary of State Clifford that
they had decided to vote with State
Auditor Taylor on a motion to re-
scind the resolution providing that
all property of the state should be
assessed at its cash value As will
be remembered when the board
first met and voted on the first mo-
ton, Treasurer Allen was in the east
looking after the sale of the state
bonds. and the result of the vote TO
reseind the motion was that Auditor
Taylor voted for it and Governor
Hawley. Attorney General Nc DOl-
gall and Secretary of State Clifford
voted against it, consequent of which
the assessors of the state proceed
ed to assess the property OF the
state at its cash value regardless Of
thousands Of letters pouring in daily
condemning the course OF the board
in instructing a change OF assess
ment under present levies. Subse-
quetnly mass meeting after mass
meeting was held over the state
passing strong resolutions against
the course taken. but the work Of
high assessment went on without in
terruption. State Treasurer Allen
returned home recently from the
east and on Monday held confer
ence with Auditor Taylor and Sec
retary of State Clifford. Immedi-
ately following. it was announced
that upon the return of Governor
Hawley and Attorney General Me
Dougall that another meeting Of
the board will be called and the res
olution would be rescinded
State Auditor Taylor has been
pronounced in his opposition to the
action of the board i'll passing the
first resolution In speaking with
reference to the matter Treasurer
Allen said Il have been7 opposed
to the position first taken by the
board from the very inception of the
agitation, and stated that l thought
it would be a great mistake to take

DELAWARE CORN

Delaware made very CreditabIe exhibit
Of corn at the National Corn Exposition,
Columbus, Ohio, January Both to Feb
rnary ilth.
While this State did not win sweep
s akes prize from, this z1ne, yet Delaware
corn was surpassed III sizs by none from
the other states. In order to win in a
national contest, Delaware growers should
give more attention to maturity and Be-
lection OF the samples exhibited. Many
were the expressions Of surprise on the
part OF visitors that Delaware could grow
such large corn. With attention to selec-
tion there is no reason why the Delaware
grower cannot equal or surpass the best
corn 10 the Western states.

was re enacted in more vicious
form, deprived Of even the sane
tion of an oathl It was originally
designed, and in practice, has al
ways operated, to make wholesale
bribery possible. The law called
BY its true and descriptive name,
would be "The Briber's Assistant
Law" No fair minded man will,
or can, defend it. 1t is nothing
more nor less than a law to facili-
tate the debauching of the elec-
torate. And it sidle 10 talk about
checking bribery through legal
prosecutions, when the law itself
encourages the vile practice!
In truth it is q burning shame
that any party should be willing
for mere partisan advantages to
prostitute the purity IF the bal
lot! Because The TRANSCRIPT is
a Republican newspaper, loyal to
every honorable tenet and tradi-
ton of its party, il must denounce
this infamous law, and demand,
in the name of clean, honest citi-
zenship, its instant repeal. A
wise policy not less than a sound
public morality requires this.
Simplify the ballot and let the
plain intent of the voter, when
shown on his ballot, control,
rather than the hair splitting va
gsries of election judges. But if
in spite of all, the voters intent
cannot be learned, than let his
vote be cast out. Better any
mber of voters be disfran-
chised by their own ignorance
than the sacred election privilege
itself be debauched. Repeal the

Mr. EDFTER:-I noticed in your issue of

port in regard to town matters. While
some OF the suggestions were very good in
theory, yet do not know whether they
would prove Of practical value or not. It
is so easy to tel the other fellow what he
ought to do, considering that the average
saiaTr of a Town Commissioner is So

their salary? This shows the mean side
OF human nature-trying to get some-
thing for nothing and it cannot be done.
There il an exoral l. law Of compensation;
il applies to every known situation or cir
cumstance. The man that sins shall die
he who truly repents shsll live. Abuse
your body, and-in after years your body
will pay the penalty; cut your fnger, its
rue it will heal up; but a scar will re-
main. Curse your public servants and it
will be increasingly difficult tp get good
servants; why not encourage them when
they do good thing? Let them know
OF your approYal-thsy will feel better;
stop and think that these gentlemen are
not responsible for all the high taxes. If
there is any criticism to be made it pro-
perly applies to those who years ago.

SOME NEEDED REFORMS

/
There are a number Of laws Of pressing
! importance and great public ussfuiHsss
| which this legislature ought to pass.
First.-The Bottle Law should be re-
pealed. II is peculiarlv bad law in that
it encourages excessive drinking in the
very class which can least sfford to in
dulge the hurtful practice, viz.-the COLI
ored men. In the side streets and lanes
OF the town, and for miles in the country
in any direction the empty pint and helf-
pint bottles may be seen by the dozens.
Then a still greater objection is that it
enables minors and confirmed drnnkards
to get | quor where the e. Ter would not
knowingly violate the law by furnishing
il to such persons. This makes it impos-
sibie for liquor sellers who wish TO com.
ply with the law 70 do SO, aud they get
the dlscredit which ftlInws from boys and
chronics being drunken. The repeal is
therefore in the interest of the saloon
keeper doing lawful business.
Every farmer in Delaware vii welcome
the repeal of this pernicious law which
more than any other cause is spreading
the vice Of drink among coIored men, and
running them as farm laborers. The
Farmers demand repeal Of the Bottle
Law.
Second.-The Voters Assistant Law
shoull be repealed. It is bad piece Of
legislation that encourages bribery and
was 80 intended to operate. The reasons
for this repeal we give in an editorial dis
cussion of this question.
Third.-The pay Of members of the
legislature should be increased. The
present allowance barely covers-if that
the expenses Of members. This subject
also is more fully treated on our editorial
page.
Fourth.-The provision in the charter
of the city of Wilmington that gives the
resident judge of New Castle county
large amount of political patronage in the
shape of appointments to Office, should be
at once repealed. It is scandalous law
and tends to degrade the judiciary by
making it the stake about which filthy
politicians are contending.
Moreover it offers temptation to any
low political huckster, though grossly un-
fit, to aspire to the Office Of judge and to
seek By all the disreputable arts Of "ma-I
chine" politics, its attainment-a thing
fatal to the dignity and usefulness Of she
Bench. The Courts should be kept
wholly apart from politics and the
scramble for Office, if they would retain
that respect in which they have hereto
fore been held in this state.
