EDITORIAL OPINION
wHY

From the Laurel Leader.
The following editorial appeared
in THE EVENING JOURNAL: "Sus-
sex county editors probably will form
an association to establish uniform
rates for advertising and printing and
to cooperate in the work Of giving
publicity to and assisting in the COM
nercial uplift OF the lower end of the
State II is no secret that the adver-
tising and printing rates in most of
the country weekly offices in lower
Delaware are ridiculously low. Nor
will anyone deny that Sussex needs
publicity and promotion. Such pub
fishers association should work to
the advantage of both the newspapers
and the county at large THE JOUR-
NAL is right: there should be a Pub
fishers Association organized, for the
majority of Sussex's weekly papers
do not get a living rate, they only get
an existing rate and We are sure no
one will deny Sussex needs a Pub
licity Campaign to promote its inter-
est and such an organization could
help to a great advantage and the
Delaware Leader will help in every
way possible to bring about such an
organization and will throw open the
doors of its Office at any time and
welcome every Publisher in Sussex
who will attend a meeting of the
kind.
If such an organization should be
established why should not our Kent
and New Castle Brothers form an or
ganization likewise? We could prob
ably be a help to one onother; how
ever, the Delaware Leader will take
the initiative in Sussex and in a few
days will extend to every publisher
an invitation from Sussex to come tc
Laurel for the purpose of establish
ing uniform rates for advertising anc
printing and it is hoped not person
will be absent

LAUDS SALISBURY.
From The Georgetown Journal

From the Georgetown journal
In our issue last week we publicly
expressed our confidence In the DEM
ocracy and honesty of the four Demo
cratic members of the Legislature
who were refusing to abide by the
decision Of the Senatorial caucus, and
expressed the opinion. that when they
cast off Influences which were badly
advising them, and depended upon and
were directed. by their own judgment
they would do right We are glad TO
say that ou. confidence was not mis-
placed and that the action of these
four in voting with their fellow DEM
ocratic members and electing Willard
salisbury United States Senator on
Wednesday in joint session justiiies
our belief as expressed last week. It
would have been better had they ac-
uuieced in the action of their fellow
members in caucus and elected Mr.,
Salisbury at the first joint session,
but as we have heretofore stated, they
were acting under bad advice given
them by men IN whose political judg-
ment they had confidence, and Il is
very greatly to their credit that when
they realized their mistake they cor
rected il in the only way possible.
Gentlemen. you have acted the part
of men and have performed in a cred
table manner, though delayed, your
obvious duty to your party, your State
and yourselves.

Representatives from Sussex will sign petit

up until they have made il dry" territory too.
There are liquor men of prominence in the State

GuARp rHE sTArE LANps.

L VERY citizen of Delaware should insist that the
l. Legislature guard iealously the State lands at
Rehoboth.
The tracts contain approximately 500 acres The
land is becoming more valuable every year.
Fifteen or twenty years ago certain Delaware poll
tcians who had a much higher regard for their own
pockets than they had for the interests OF the state
and it's people, attempted to rush through our Legs-
ature the notorious Rehoboth Beach Land Grab Bill
Under it's provisions the State to transfer to
those in the game It's title to those ocean-ront lands
for a consideration that was so outrageously low
that It shocked the public Conscience and aroused such
storm o. protest that the land-grabbers were forced
TO abandon their game and hunt for cover. Public
Indignation never was higher in this State than it
against that audacous, sordd, selfish, shameless and
shameful piece Of proposed legislation. Hundreds Of
men came cut openly and offered 70 pay to the State
many times the price per that the and-grabbers
were offering for It,
We hope the present session Of the Legislature viii
not be marred by a revival of that Rehoboth Beach
land-grab I'm its complete or modified form. Any att
tempt to obtain that state land is to with
overwhelming opposition. matter how ceyerly the
legislative proposition may be sugarcoatcd with sug
eestons great public benefit" "a big boom for Re
hoboth and the other phrases that are the sock-in-
trade OF land grabbers
There could be nc valid objection to the State
leasing portions of the State land provided adequate
leases The people Of the State are in temper
however to have their ocoan-front lands at Rehoboh
exploited frttered away tried up by ong-term
leases. They are too valuable for that Our state
only comparatively short stretch Of ocean front
at best should retain title to every foot owns
and IL Il leases any of IT, exact Just return from
those who wish to It.

The next important step will be for Congress to enact
laws for leYyng and collecting the income tax 1t is
hoped that legislation will be framed in spirit
Of equity and that by deceit evasion, those who
have incomes will not make farce of the law, as
WAS done in New York with respect to the tax on
personal property including interestbearing securi-
ties. which a near approach income tax.
Sixteen years ago the Democrats endeavored to im-
pose an income tax, hoping thereby to make up the
Federal that would be lost in carrying out
the Democratic plan to reduce the tariff materially.
That law was resisted the ground that Il un-
constitutional and the fight was carried into the
United States Supreme Court In that tribunal the
Democratic law upset. The court held that un-
der the constitution such direct tax must be ap-
portoned among the states, and that the basis for
that apportionment must be population.
During the Civil War the income tax was resorted
to by the North war funds and many millions
OF dollars raised through that wartime expe-
dent The magnitude Of the income from that
may be realized from the following table showing the
fIootto |for ufv oarh.

Those amounts do not represent the entire time COW
cred by the income tax but merely the last six full
years OF the imposition OF the tax Congress first levied
the tax July J. 1862 II placed at per cent
incomes above 5000 and under $4,000; larger in
comes the tax was per cent On March 3. 1865, the
tax was raised to per cent incomes between 5000
and Sc GOO and 10 per cent larger incomes March
p 1867 the exemption was raised from 5000 to $1,000
and the tax was fixed at per cent, regardless of
amount In 1870 the was reduced to 2la per cent
incomes Of $4,000 and over and the tax repealed

The Democrats quite naturally are iubant because
they know the amendment viii be Incorporated in the

ductons The fact must be lost sight of, however,
that the present income tax amendment was proposed
