EAST SHORE FARMERS
IN FAVOR OF IRRIGATION

DENTON, MD. July 1S.--Many
Eastern shore farmers are looking
into the possibilities of irrigation, and
experiments are projected. II is
claimed that the cost of constructing
irrigation plants. on varying scales Of
magnitude. Is much less than has been
generally thought, and that the profits
to be gained from thus providing
against crop losses are certain.
The long drought this year is esti-
mated to have caused a loss of mill
ions of dollars on the Eastern Shore
that might have been saved, in large
measure, by irrigation. That small
irrigation works require neither great
er skill, labor nor outlay than other
farm improvements which are readily
undertaken is an argument that is
proving attractive to the farmers.

BOULEVARD
ROUTE PUZZLES
Sussex Residents Don't Know
Which Way Gen. dupont
Will Build
MANY TOWNS HELP
In THE ROAD WORK

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STAFFORD. Del, July 1S-For the
wideawake and progressive citizens
OF the lower Delaware villages the
route Of the proposed two million dol
lar boulevard, which General I. Cole
man DUPONT is to give to the State,
Is a complete puzzle. OF course all
the towns in the state, with but one
exception, are wild after the road.
and some people really believe the
highway couldn't be constructed with
out it ran through the center of their
town. However, General DUPONT has
set down certain requirements for
these towns and communities that de-
sire the improvement, and unless
these requirements are complied with
It is likely the great road will be run
another way.
From the northern to the southern
extremity Of Delaware the chief topic
Of the day is the proposed highway.
Meetings of citizens are being held
nightly and the project has been ex-
planned and argued. Farmers Of this
section have offered a right of way
through their lands and the citizens
Of Seaford have raised money neces-
sary to buy the land on North street,
where the road will enter Seaford-
If IL comes this way.
But with all this enthusiastic inter-
est, Seaford residents, as well as those
Of other towns, who are working Wig
orously for the road, are at a loss TO
know which of the several routes will
be chosen, and whether two roads
will be built across Sussex county
General DUPONT has been making
his headquarters here aboard his
steam yacht, Tech. During his stay
here two meetings have been held at
which he was present. On each oc-
casion he stated his willingness to run
the boulevard through Seaford provid-
ing certain arrangements could be
made. The committee in charge of
this part is succeeding in their plans
and feel certain the requirements for
the highway can be met.

There was good meeting of the
Marion Problem club i'm the Y. NJ. G.
A. paflors, Tuesday evening. a fair
attendance was present and a very
excellent discussion was eujoyed along
the lines of the land, taxes, interest,
rents aud wages questions raised by
the late Henry George in his exam
ination OF the great problems of
Progress ana Poverty"
Attorney J. Wilbur Jacoby opened
the discussion stating Henry Georges
major propositions and reading from
his writings to convey his ideas clear
" on the issues. Mr.. George observed
that the greatest poverty is found
where there Is the greatest progress.
II Is In our large cities whore the
inequality and wrongs of our clviliza.
tiOn seem to be most largely accen-
tulted. Seeing this Mr.. George insti-
tuted AN investigation as to the cause
of It and he made up his mind that
1t was because of the monopoly of
land. Consequently he evolved the
proposition that land should be COM
mon to all. that all taxes should be
levied on land. that houses should
oven be considered personal property
and that all personal property should
be free from the burdens of taxation.
with such a change in economic con-
ditions Mr. George believed that So
ciety would be able TO abolish poverty.
IL was brought out during the dis
cussion that "A community in Georgia
has adopted the philosophers system
with the most gratifying results. Also,
II was stated the system is in vogue
i'm Vancouver and some of the cities
and landed communities of British
America, so far as the single tax is
concerned. and IL is found to be a
practical doctrine. Two lots of equal
value in the city of Vancouver but
one vacant and the other containing
fine building are taxed at the same
valuation. Suppose the vacant lot
is valued at $4,000 that will be the
figure Of appraisal for taxation pur-
poses of the improved lot although
that and the building may be worth
$4,000. "All taxes on land" is the
doctrine. AZ least so far as property
is concerned. But the Dominion gov

on privilege.
