SEWER DISTRICT PLANS AT
 BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
Will Be Explained There Before Pre- scented to the Voters in Special
 Town Meeting.
Special to The Farmer)


 Stratford, March 7-The Farmer has been asked if the plans which will be presented before the audience at the public meeting of the Board of Trade which is advertised for the 14th inst, are those provided for in a special town meeting, and when. and what was voted at said town meeting. The resolution was adopted at special town meeting held Oct. 1911 and is recorded as follows:
 "voted-That Messrs. William H. Hart, B. w. Peck and AR. $. Meloy form committee of three to lay out a sewer district in the town of Strat- ford, as provided for in the house Joint Resolution, No. 538 Special Acts of 1S99
 Authorizing the Town of Stratford to create a sewer district and to se- cure the services of sewer expert or engineer and to make the neces- cation, extent and size of sewer system, and the most economical means of purifying the sewage, with estimates of the cost, and to report at a Town meeting called for that purpose not later than May 1, 1912; and that an appropriation of $500 be. and is hereby made to defray the ex- penses connected with said sewer sur vey.''
 Last night w. H.. Hart, who was first named on the committee said over the telephone that he did not know anything about any plans but that the sewage question would be discussed informally at a meeting of the board. Elliott W. Peck, confirm ed the statement in Tuesday nights Farmer that George Fuller of the firm of Herring & Fuller, would pre- sent the plans which had been pre- pared by his firm under this resolu- tion for the inspection of the board of Trade and those who attended the meeting so that they could become familiar with them before they come before the town meeting. He also added that there would be no discus sion but an explanation by the en- gineer who had prepared the report. Arthur s. Meloy, the third member of the committee corroborated the statement made by MT. Peck and thought it. would be desirable if there was a large attendance. MT. Fuller has surveyed the town and set off sewer district which it is believed will meet the demand for many years to come and which can readily be added to at any time in the future.

ELECTION PRECEDENT

We had q precedent based on the square deal" in politics established in this county and were getting along very nicely until the recent school election
 In that contest 52 votes were cast in the Third ward. and were not counted. The 52 voters stood ais franchised until court order re quired the judges 10 count the bal- lots
 The count of the 52 votes made no difference in the election, but IL dia make biz difference in the pc ltical situation in this county. in that fl aroused distrust where con. ndence had been established
 There will be but one method of overcoming the distrust engendered. and that win be for all sides to be watchful in future elections
 Every technicality must be gone over thoroughly and no loop hole left for technicalities might be talk en advantage of. See that the judges are sworn. and that they fulhll their duties. and the best way to do this Is to select men who will properly qualify in advance. and stay with the polls until they are done.
 II might be that We were beeom- ing too trustful in politics. So many had been crying for a square deal, and so many had been apparently satisfied better for a square deal than raw deal. that it was presum ed nothing else than full count. be- sond criticism. and with moral pur- poses ahove teehniealiiy, would be assumed or presumed.
 It was necessary to fight a ease in court in order for a candidate ia tho school election to ascertain how many yotea were cast for him. and he made tho fight and won his rights. even if he did not win the office

EDUCATION FOR GIRLS

Some one says, Girls will never
have a chance at education at Del
aware College, because the men
who control the Board of Trustees
are opposed to it,
My dear lady, don't worry. Its
this way. No man or men control
the Board of Trustees. They don I
want to. And if they should ever
be SO inclined, they couldn't.
There are some pretty independent
men on that Board, who are silent
until such time as occasion demand
they speak. And again-the
Board doesn't really decide the
question. If the State says that
Girls be given equal opportunity
with the boys and that it can be
done only by what is known as the
Affiliated plan-then it will be
that's all.

HIGH COST OF LIVING

Every newspaper and magazine
talks of the high cost of living.
Commissions are appointed to i'll
vestigate. 1t finally gets back to
the farmer and he is to blame.
y Newark housewife was recent
ly berating the rural thieves-men-
tioning i'll particular the prices of
butter and pork. My dear madam
Butter is high but it takes no
Commission to tell why. A little
common SENSE investigation will
tell you this.
lst. There are 5000, 600 pounds
of butter how i'll cold storge in the
United States.
ID. Right here i'll Newark, 10
years ago, the farmer bought his
bran feed for less than $500 per
ton and to-day, he is paying $50.
Why Commission to blame the
farmer?
Again the cost of pork the far
lner is getting the blame. Last
year the farmer sold his pork at
the beginning of the season at Il
cents a pound and the lowest re-
ceived during the season was nine
and ten cents. That made pork
high, | guess. Bnt-this year he
is receiving from seven cents to ten
cents and feed just a little higher
than last year. Yet you say you
pay the same for chops.
These are facts and if you can't
find out where the trouble is, ask
any farmer and he will tell YOU.

"TAX" MAINTAINS His VIEWS

Editor Newark Post: DR.. Gil
fillan' s letter in last week s Post is
simply a repetition Of parts OF his
previous Communications relative
to the subject Of school taxes.
We believe the board is seeking
information. we believed it i'll the
beginning, and we cited this admis-
sion as proof that they knew their
present methods Of assessment were
not only unfair but Illegal.
1t is futile and quite beside the
question to announce that Mr.. Rose
or anybody else told the board how
to make a school assessment. and
we fail to see what credit it brings
the board to make this attempt to
blame Mr.. Rose for their present
predicament they are supposed to
secure their authority, we should
imagine, from the school law and
not by hearsay.
It is safe to assume that if Mr..
Rose was to give an opinion, now,
that the matter is being agitated,
that he would favor an equal rates
Of persons tax and that he would
also favor a fair assessment Of per-
sonal property, and all personal
property at that; we have not
taken the matter up with Mr.. Rose
but refer the board to him for his
opinion.
As to taxing automobiles. they
should certainly be taxed, as per-
sonal property. and along with all
personal property; it is obviously
wrong to tax a man horse, and
not tax his neighbours automobile.
and il is obviously just as wrong to
tax mans automobile. and not
tax his neighbor's carriage. and all
the balance Of hj& personal prop
cyty. One article Of personal prop
erty alone cannot be set aside as
subject to a tax unless specifically
provided for by law; this is d fact
the board can easily confirm if they
desire.
We cannot understand why DR..
Gilfllan is continually crying for
some one to come forward and
make suggestiOns-school assess
ments are not usually made to suit
one man s. or any set OF men S
ideas-they must be made i'll one
and only one way, viz, by the
school law.
The great trouble here is that the
board think they are the Legisla-
ture and the Governor combined
and make laws of their own. They
say So-and-So makes so much, .
vel tax him so much; and $50
and-So makes two dollars a year,
more" -" we'll take the two. Neither
one owns property but what's the
diff, they did that eighty-six years
ago.
Following the same course we
can easily imagine that they might
put on the list of tarable personal
property with the automobiles, say
clothes wringers. cork screws. collar
buttons, stove pipes, pin trays, etc,
and at the same time exempt other
personal property.
All of which is unlawful.
Tax.
