REMEMBER in the spirit of charity
and kindness those who are unfor-
tunate, and those who are afflicted.
A kind act in relief of suffering, or
assistance to make physical COM
fort, will bring the greatest happi-
ness to the door or good deed;
especially is this true at Christmas
time.
Milford chronicle., 1912-12-20

1t is we'll to remember that there
is legislation of far more importance
to the people than political legisla-
ton which will give to the counties
a practical business administration
Of their affairs; especially in the
two lower counties. We need
legislation which will create an
economical system of collection Of
the taxes by a tax receiver. We
need such laws as will permit the
loconvicts in the workhouse and the
-;.i.or 4. = or3f the counties, to be put at
Christi on the highways, and in
Z ll;'I iII FHking out drainage canals on a
Practical basis for the better drain
y. 1f the valuable farm lands which
are now not producing their best for
the state, because Ofexcessive water
at certain parts Of the year. We
want real code of laws which will
stop the wasting of the taxpayers
money in so-called roadbuilding
work, which is done by inexperienc-
ed and impractical men, under a
system which has been proven
wasteful and unsatisfactory to all
but the men drawing the little
stipends awarded them by the Levy
courts each year, and which have
now become a recognized reimburse
ment of the individual for petty
political work rendered for his party. |
We need a practical County Com
mission of not over FIVE good busi-
ness men to take the place of the
present Levy Courts, and this is
needed worst Of all. The legisla-
ture employs several attorneys each
year to advise them and to draw
bills for them during the session;
but, what is now needed, is, that
bills looking to the placing ofreform
laws upon the books, shall be drawn
and ready to present to the legisla-
ture when it opens for business
next month. Why not organize
a business men IS league with the
object of having this work ready for
the Legislature? This plan will :
bring about real reform in state and :
county government, quicker and
better than the reformers can hope +
TO ever accomplish through political
revolts at the polls; and, after all
better government is what the boilers
from any party profess to have in :
view only. Now let them prove :

bers of the Sussex County Levy
Court as to the unanimous agree
ment, that there must be a radical
departure from the practices of the
past, in the policy of the country
government is correct, then the day
for real reform is not far in the dis
tance. For years the Chronicle has
pointed to the fact that the present
methods of collecting the taxes is
costly and wasef1l of the taxpayers
money, and demanded that change
to a better and more economical
method of getting the taxes in hand,
should be adopted. 1t now costs
under the ten tax collector system
ofSussex about ten thousand dollars
to collect the taxes, when they
should all be collected for less than
half that amount; but that is not
all the trouble in Sussex county
About FIVE years ago someone with
more influence than brains, got
bill through the legislature setting
back until September the date for
rebating taxes, and this has certain
ly done more to discourage prompt
payment of the taxes in Sussex
County during the early summer
months, when the county needs
ready cash the worst, than anything
that ever happened. This little
joker should be promptly remedied
by the coming session of the legis-
lature, even though other reforms
fall by the wayside. The Levy Court
as body last week is reported as
having unanimously agreed, that a
change in the tax collection methods
shall be made, and directed their
attorney to at once draw such
bill to represented to the Legislature,
which when enacted into law, will
create a tax receiver and abolish !
the present tax collectors. This is |
all right SO far as it goes; but there
IS yet other things which cry out
or reform one of which is the meth
ID Of fwastefulness which all agree is |

'oads in Delaware. Nowis the time
or the people to act. The legislature

months, and the people will have

ppropriate that the question of
prisoners on the highway,

lie people, should be acted upon
romply. Let it be remembered, that
is the duty Of every man to see
lat measures are framed into bills,
nd that they be enacted into laws,
