DEALERS REFUSE TO PAY TAX
Smaller Coal Men Decline to Settle
on Occupation.
NO EFFORT MADE TO COLLECT
Larger Firms Are Paying Up with
out Any Protest--Names Given
Into Hands of the Prose-
cutting Attorney.

Threats of long legal fights against the
city by a temporary organization OF
smaller coal dealers has resulted in a
suspension OF all moves toward collecting
occupation taxes from coal dealers.
Larger dealers are paying without pro-
test. but unless the occupation taxes are
generally paid the funds Of the weights
and measures department will be much
depleted.
Several thousand dollars are involved
In the disagreement. which Is between
few large dealers on the one side AMI
more than 100 smaller dealers on the
other. Objection is made to the ordinance
under which the occupation tax is col
lected, attorneys having been retained
by the temporary organization 10 contest
its enforcement.
Names OF dealers who have refused to
pay their occupation taxes have been
placed In the hands Of the prosecuting
attorney, but none OF the dealers have
been approached. Reports that a few of
the smaller dealers have decided to pay
their taxes rather than stand the ex-
penses OF extended litigation Is siren
uously denied at organization headquar-
tiers.
Smaller dealers are fighting for a
graduated occupation tax. compelling
large dealers TO pay more. On the other
side the large dealers are making no
move to interfere with the due process
Of law and have been eager TO pay their
occupation taxes The validity OF the
ordinance under which these taxes are
collected has been questioned repeatedly
and evidence is being gathered by the
attorneys for the smaller dealers to
show that either its passage was not
formal or the ordinance in itself is not
legal

B done. For the Improvement of highways the people
OF the United States are spending than $780,

but a rule the old slipshod and makeshift
methods OF doing road work continued from year

Congress on the rural free delivery service recently II
was shown that although Delaware has 252s miles OF
public roads. only 1864 miles are such condition
to be oassed improved In other words. only little
than six per cent Of our public road mileage is

and peremptory demand for good lateral roads inev

HERFiS ANnTHER PARTY.

hLhE-H ANU L uGh IAhA l.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir:--I have read the appeal for
order from Mr.. John G. Irwin in last
Saturdays EVENING JOURNAL. Mr.
Irwin appeals to every law abiding
citizen and Christian to ounite into a
political party in order to create
laws, that would make the people
better than they are now. He has
evidently the forming of new party
in his mind. The road to a joyful.
eternal life leads over the prohibition
party This party has made a Won
derful progress during the last eight
years II has succeeded in making
numerous towns, counties and states
dry.
Only, what puzzles me. is that the
sale of malt liquors in the United
States has Just as wonderfully in
creased as the prohibition party has
succeeded in laying towns, counties
and states dry. In 1904 the sale of
malt liquors IN the United States was
4S,20s,13S barrels. in 1911 II amounted
10 63,293, 1913 barrels. That means an
increase in the sale of malt liquors
Of 15,074S90 barrels over that in 1904.
This shows that there is something
wrong somewhere. The old prohibit
tion party lacks progress. There
are certain items which this party
seems to be afraid to tackle and
therefore the forming of a new party
seems 10 be justified.
In the following | want 10 make a
few suggestions: Name Progressive
Prohibition party"
In the framing Of the platform oil
the new party the following articles
must receive serious consideration:
Artilce Whereas wine, beer anC
some medicine contain traces of al.
/ cohol and whereas alcohol, II taker
in excess sometimes acts as a deadly
poison, therefore be it resolved. thai
the manufacture, sale and consump-
ton of wine, beer and medicine, il

OF not less than one year be imposed
upon anyone who acts against H.
Article 2-Whereas, Il has beer
proved that tobacco contains traces
