sir:-I beg to be allowed space in
your most valuable paper to say a few
words to the boost committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. Now, as / un-
derstand it, this committee has the
whole city at heart, and is wrestling
with the problem of getting started,
and going forward, and make Whining
ton what it ought to be. an up-to-date
city, which. l believe, the Chamber of
Commerce means to do. Now let me
say few words to that committee Of
that honorable body, and those words
will be this: You all, sooner or later.
must recognize the one important fact
that one Of the greatest drawbacks in
any community is caused by bad sys-
tenn of taxation.
Now, a bad system of taxation is
responsible to a great extent for busi-
ness becoming slack, and men out Of
employment walking the streets and
worrying and fretting themselves into
either drunken condition or they
become Respondent which leads to
self-destruction or mental derange-
ment or the commission Cf crime Of
some sort.
This is in my eyes one of the worst
damages it is partly responsible for.
Yet there are other losses concerned
The same bad system of taation is
responsible for the city losing reve-
nue. You may ask how it loses. Well,
that can be answered this way. Just
take the number of wrecked buildings
we have in the city that years ago were
revenue producers and today revenue
losers, and yet the very land under
those buildings you will find has in
creased in value Now, what was re-
sponsible for the increase - value oi
the land? Well the community which
was thrifty and enterprising enough
to build and repair its building ant
give labor employment, borrowed
money in quite a number of cases

FAyoRs GORMLEY MARRIAGE BILL

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-I wish to call attention
through your columns to the Mar
riage Bill introduced by Senator CORN
ley in the Legislature and to ask the
citizens Of Delaware to aid in secur-
ing it's passage Some of the feature
Of the bill are as follows: Where
both parties to the marriage are non
residents Of the State, at least ninety
six hours must elapse between the
issuing OF the license and the per-
forming of the ceremony. In the case
OF residents Zone or both parties) the
lapse is only twenty-four hours In
the case of non-residents an oath is
required. In the case of residents it is
optional with the person issuing the
license. II neither Of the parties are
personally known to the person issu-
ing the license, as a resident Of the
State, at least one of them must be
identified as such to his satisfaction.
The bill also provides that all the
licenses shall be issued by the clerk
OF the peace or his deputy in every
county. All licenses issued shall be
Immediately recorded in a special book
which book shall be a public record
and shall be open for inspection to
the public.
The bill is drawn with two objects
in view. First. to make it as easy and
comfortable as possible for the reput-
able. responsible citizens of the State
to be married; second to make it diff
cult for non-residents OF the State to
get married who either should not be
married at all or should be married in
their own State. II is designed to dis
courage the sort of marriages which
have brought our State wide and no
torious repute.
It is by far the best bill to my
knowledge ever introduced into Legis-
lature, and every good citizen should
work to secure its passage. Men OF
all political and religious faiths should
unite upon it and urge their repre-
sentatives at Dover to pass it at once

PEOPLES COLUMN

same thrifty people paid their taxes
on these improved properties toward
improving Wilmington as city. but
It has been discovered lately by the
good, thrifty enterprising taxpayers
that the system is bunco game. Here
is where the bunco comes in. For
Illustration, suppose one of US owns a
wrecked building OH Front street on
the side where the p U. r. runs, and
we say to ourselves: what is the use
to repair and give labor work, for as
soon as we do the assessor will in
crease our taxes; so we had better
leave 1t lay in that wrecked condition
for an indefinite period because it may
be the railway will pay us lump sum
for the same" Now this very same
man in this deal who understands
the scheme knows when he robs labor
Of employment and then robs the city
OF its share OF revenue and robs the
community of a reasonable competi-
tion in rentals for light manufacture
ing purposes.
Is 1t any wonder you find in your
present representative government
men who are always ready to prevent
any legislation in any shape or form
to head off the robbers. Why is this?
Because the very system you have in
vogue makes good men do wrong acts,
and the man that cannot serve the in
terest of wrongdoing very seldom
amounts to much politically IL is
only here lately that the politicians
and the people are coming together
face to face on these great problems,
Yours truly,

The women and girls OF Delaware who are COM

who do regard it dsgraceful to hunt for the bread
and butter of a human being who chances to be an
employee. The working women and girls cannot
right their wrongs through to the secrecy Of
the ballot They must rely for aid upon those who are
not afraid TO speak and to work for them and upon

From the Smyrna Times.
From all present indications Smyr-
ma is to get an additional appropria-
ton on its Federal Building, making
$50. 600 in all As $4,000 Of It has al
ready been expended for site, there
will be. IL the extra appropriation
is granted. $4,000 available for a
PostoiIice Building For this figure a
substantial building can be erected in
Smyrna and while $4,000 is the
amount Smyrna asked for and would
like to have. 100000 will give the
town something it will not be asham-
ed of. Let us hope something viii
be doing in the matter of actual build
ing construction as soon as good
spring weather opens. A new post
office is badly needed and the people

Now that the bill providing for new City 'iaii ana
a new County Court House at Tenth and King streets
passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov
ernor Miller the prelimnaries looking to the work Of
construction should be disposed Of rapidly legal
formality and business prudence will permit The
people OF Wilmington and the rural sections Of this
county have supported the movement with such un-
usual and commendabe unanimty that the public OH
cials owe it to them in return to begin the work OF
clearing the site making the excavation and construct
ing the building without unnecessary delay. 1t goes
without saying that there is in the county who
feels better pleased with the Of the movement
than does John J. Raskob who had more to do with
bringing about the desired result than any other
He advanced the proposition in such busness-ke
way to the taxpayers that they by It almost
from the start II is true that opposition developed
in spots but Mr. Raskob conducted his campaign with
such diplomatic skin and conclusive argument that

condition in this county cf arraying practically un-
animous support a Sl5O0OO0 public project

One OF the best features of the Gormey Marriage
bill which was reported favorably to the Senate yes
terday is that il gives OF publicity to
riage licenses issued, and that il contains
vision which, IL enacted into law, will compel preachers
who perform marriage ceremonies to make reports to
the Clerks OF the Peace within reasonable time.
Under this bill residents OF Delaware who purpose get
ting married obtain their licenses from the
Clerks OF Che Peace at least twentyfour hours prior
the wedding and that non-residents must procure
them at least four days prior 10 the performance Of
the ceremony The bill takes away from the magis-
rates the power marriage certificates and
ignores the plea that in Wilmington all such certih
