GOvERNOR AND THE CITY.

NE of the best things in Governor Pennewills
- message to the Legislature is his discussion
Of the talk about a new charter for this city. The
Governor looks at the matter from the point of
view of the interested outsider who does not wish
to interfere personally but is desirous of having
the people get what they want.
II may be recalled that at the dinner of the
Board of Trade several years ago the Governor ex-
pressed views similar to those contained in his
message. He said then, in effect, as he repeats in
the message that "a municipality is a corporation
the primary purpose of which is to attend to the
city's business. Why, then, should it not be con-
Quoted like any other we'll managed business cor
poration?'
The Governor points out that so far as the
State Legislature is concerned the question is to
find out what the city wants And that is the inn
portant problem TO be solved. There has been
more or less agitation for a change and improve
ment in the city government which agitation in
one form has found expression in the Civic Asso-
citation. Some body Of citizens must stand as rep
resentng the sentiment of the city, and that body
should be different from political body such as
Council.
The Civic Association has held several meetings,
the attendance at which has been small but never
theless encouraging. The association, because of
the diversity of opinion among the members has
not yet decided upon a definite course of action
other than a campaign of education.
The Board of Trade has suggested amendments
to the present charter and representatives of the
various official bodies have their opinions as TO
what should be done
The chief point now is TO crystalline public opin.
ion so that something shall be done The provi-
sion FOR commission TO consider a. new city gov
ernment would be better than permitting the ae;-
tation TO end in nothing being done Unless the
subject is kept alive and discussed the danger is
that another session Of the Legislature will 20

One Mans Work.

One Mans Work.
Norfolk Ledger-Despatch.
The reduction in the rates of the
Pullman car service affects millions
of people, yet the securing of the
changes in the cost of the service is
traced to the efforts of one man. Col
lier's gives an interesting sketch of
the case, showing the vast sum of
money involved. as follows:
Some three years ago George S. Lof-
tus Of Minneapolis, a reformer Of the
"do-it-now" type, turned up at the
Office of James Manahan, his law
yer.
"Jim," he said, II want you to sue
the Pullman Company"
What for?"
"Oh, just sue them. and charge that
their rates are exorbitant
II got in from Chicago this morning
I had an upper berth, and couldn't
sleep. and they charged me just as
much as l would have had to pay for
a lower"
Manahan drafted an innocent-look-
ing complaint, saying, in few words
that Pullman rates We're unjust. There
was no technical verbiage. He mailed
this TO the Interstate Commerce Com
mission at Washington. Three monthf
later Manahan was notified by mai
that in ten days a special examiner
would be in St. Paul prepared to heal
LOTUS case.
Up to that date all the evidence
Lotus and his lawyer had was LOT

STATE TAXATION.

HE report of the Revenue and Taxation Com
n mission states that all the recommendations
Of the commission we're unanimously approved by
the members with the exception Of the provisions
relating to the Delaware Railroad Company and
the increase in the fee for liquor licenses.
1t would be interesting TO hear the views of the
dissenting members as 10 what tax they think the
Delaware Railroad Company should pay The pro-
posed increase amounts 10 about $1,000, and even
the Quxotic guardian Of the railroad company in
this city thinks that the increase is justifable.
The Delaware Railroad Company is a rich, pros
porous. well-managed and finely conducted pro-
perty. Ii has been hugely successful in the past
and il has plans for future development VIC under
stand, that will be gratifying 10 all Delawareans
for these plans will make for the betterment and
progress OF the State We don't believe, although
we are not familiar enough with the subject to
speak with authority that there is a finer bit OF
railroad property in the country. Certainly there
are few under all the circumstances which arc
better. We don't believe there is any that is bet
Ter managed from the point Of view Of the stock
holders.
Is il not then common fairness that the COM
pany should pay reasonable amount of taxes,
that considering the valuable franchises il eniovs.
il should pay into the Golfers Of the State part
Of what is called the unearned increment?
The State must raise revenue from some sources
and IT is one Of the cardinal PRINCIPLES of the ac-
oepted oanons Of taxation that those who are able
10 pay should pay. Certainly poverty cannot be
taxed
We think therefore. that the increase in taxa.
ton on the railroad company is very reasonable
and we do not believe that the directors Of the
company hold otherwise. The tax could have
been made higher without stretching the limits of
absolute fairness. 1t is said that the dissenting
commissioners thought that the tax was high
enough it is. If this their attitude it seems
TO us that their usefulness as commissioners n
formulate taxation schemes should be at an end

THAT REPORT
ON REVENUE
Man-Up-a-Tree Thinks an In
fant Class in Taxation
is Needed
Editor rHE EvENING JoURNAL:

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL:
The State Revenue and Taxation
Committee has made it's report and it
is a peach--in fact it's wonder. The
report endorses practically all the
present distractions TO the production
of wealth that Delaware laws place in
the way Of our industrious, energetic,
wealth-producers, be they manufac-
turers, traders. professional, or labor
ing men. And they recommend tax
on BARRIERS; hence a premium on Kan
sas lilacs. They also recommend 4
tax on dyers, scourers, etc.--hence a
premium on being slouch--a tax on
public baths. which means a premium
on uncleanliness, and tax on laun-
dries. which means change your linen
and unmentionablos yearly. Also
tax on chiropodists and manicures-
adopt the Chinese style and let your
nails grow.
As a matter of fact. the experts on
taxation seem to consider the tramp
as the ideal citizen. Then the ex-
perts go after those dangerous women
who work hard to earn a living and
suggest an increased tax on them.
They trot out the booze question
again, Make the license $780," say
the experts. Tho result is more
fixing" of booze.
There should be an infant class on
taxation in Delaware. What is a tax?
An involuntary contribution to the
treasury. So Is a fine in a police
court The man who borrows a few
chickens from hennery is fined once
and no more; but the william who CON
ducts hennery. builds up a business.
employs labor and furnishes US with
toothsome chicken, raw material for
our egg-nog and scrambles, We shall
fine every year.
So with barber shop. A man who
breaks a window In the shop is fined
once. The man who operates the shop,
helps us TO keep clean, save us from
Kansas lilacs, employs half a hozen
men, is I'm the eyes of the experts a
criminal TO be fined yearly.
Why not act on business principles?
In a church, theatre. or hotel, they,
who occupy the choice positions. who
enjoy special privileges, pay the price.
What's the matter with taxing those
special privileges, the telegraph, tele-
phone, electric street car, gas and
railway companies? What's the mat
ter with taxing those chaps who are
holding farm lands in the city? Why
not tax those gents" who hold val
liable sites on our principal streets
and maintain shacks on them2 Get
that infant class on taxation ready
or was the report Of the commission
a joke? Yours up tree,
Ivan Petrovsky.

One railroad which did remarkably we'll last

Pennsylvania. The company earned 40 per cent.
and will pay IT'S regular 10 per cent. quarterly
dividend with a ten per cent extra dividend as
of yore The earnings of the coal company which

tus' one sleepless night on the train.
On the morning of the hearing the
court room was filled with ex-Pull-
man porters. Il was proved that the
porters. received $25 q month, out of
which they had TO pay for their meals
on the road and their uniforms. They
were compelled TO replace all towels,
combs, and other lost articles. The
public practically paid their salaries
in tips. This was the small begin
ming of one of the largest results yet
achieved in the prosecution of any
trust. There was no loud proclama-
tion of the setting of government ma
chinery in motion. One humble cit
izen had merely started 10 saw wood.
It was proved that the Pullman
Company earned $4,000 annually on
cars that cost them $4,000; that the
porters made up ten million beds an
nually. and the company made in 1907
over S32,00O,000 gross. It's capital had
increased from 100000 to $150,O00
The end has now come In an order
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, reluctantly agreed to by the
Pullman Company, reducing its rates
25 per cent. about per cent. on low
er berths and about 20 per cent. or
upper berths.
It may have significance for some
of our readers that George S. Loftul
is the close friend and political disci
pie of Robert NJ. LaFollette, while
Manahan is the close friend and apos
tie of the Nebraska Commoner. Thes'
two reformers, working together, have
saved travellers at least $2,O000OO an
nually.

ANOTHER TERM FOR SENATOR DUPONT.

HE decision Of the Republican caucus by
practically unanimous vote TO return Colonel
Henry A. DUPONT TO the Senate is the logical out
come of the result of the election and Republican
control of the Legislature.
Years ago during the days OF Addicksism Colo
mel DUPONT was forced TO the front in politics. and
he has since been there. His entrance into sena-
toria politics was not through choice of his own.
In the days of Addicksism Colonel DUPONT could
have gone to the Senate by saying the word, which
would cement the then warning factions. He could
have become a United States Senator by combin-
ing with the Democrats. They we're, many OF them,
very anxious that such deal should be made. He
was at that time highly commended by certain
Democrats who have since been fierce in the de-
nunciation of him.
Golonei DUPONT chose neither of these courses
that beckoned him but patiently fought the fight
according to his original intentions. The reward
finally came and il has come again IN what viii
be an election for term of six years.
No one VIC think will say that he does not repre-
sent at Washington the opinions of great ma
jority of the Republicans of Delaware He has
been faithful in the performance of his duties as
Senator and has endeavored TO represent Delaware,

enemies aud envious persons who have sources OF
