Councilman Kane before City Council

falling OFF IN
Charter receipts
Incoming Legislature May
Have to Devise Other Means
of Raising Cash
RAILROADS MAY
HAVE TO PAY MORE

DOVER, Del, Nov. 23.-The question
of raising additional revenue will be the
most important problem the members of
the General Assembly will be called upon
to solve. 1t is reported that Delaware's
charter mill" which annually grinds
out hundreds of articles of Incorporation
for companies at graduated fees, has not
been so prolific as in the last few years.
In 1913 Secretary of State Miller, who
is the collector of revenue from this
source, received slOs,4 ,4s624. Added to
this sum was S25,627.75, in fees of 50
from companies compelled to file an
nual reports
This represents a seventh of the en-
tire revenue of Delaware. Total receipts
from all sources in 1913, according to
records, were S752,956.O2.
Loss in business in granting charters
it is explained, cannot be made up in
other channels, unless the Legislators
revise the taxation laws.
Secretary of State Miller has not com
pleted the compilation of his annual
report. While persons in touch with
affairs of the office admit there has
been a shrinkage this year, none will
estimate its extent, but it is reported it
will be about $4,000.
When President Wilson, as Governor
of New Jersey, curbed the "chartei
mill" in that State, Delaware's business
increased Immediately. Yelled hints
have reached men of affairs that Con
gress may enact legislation after New
Year which will take from States the
right to issue certificates of incorpora
tiOn.
The State tax on railroads, it is pre-
dicted, will be the first to be increased
if the State needs more revenue. Sia
railroads operating in Delaware pay an
nually $4,000.
The Philadelphia, Baltimore an,
Washington Railroad pays $4,000
while the tax of the Delaware Railroad
is half that sum. The Baltimore anC
Ohio Railroads tax is $4,000

TO DEFEND RACES RIGHTS

"The only message that the colored
people have received from the white
people within the last fifteen or
twenty years is that they must en-
brace the industrial training that
Booker T. Washington has advocated,
be trained and educated as workmen
and forget about their rights
This declaration was made by DR..
Joel Il. Spingarn, author, scholar and
publicist, last night in the course of
an address before the Wilmington
branch of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie in Bethel A. NJ. e. Church. For
twelve years DR.. Spingarn was pro-
fessor of comparative literature at
Columbia University and a candidate
for Congress in 1908.
DR.. Spingarn said that five or six
years ago a number of white people
had gotten together in New York for
the purpose of making the treatment
of the colored people a national issue,
in view of the numerous lynchings,
segregation by law and disfranchise-
ment of the colortd people in differ
ent sections of the country. This
movement, he said, resulted in the or
ganization OF the National Association
for the Advancement of the Colored
People, which now has 5000 members.
Dr. Spingarn is chairman of the
board of directors and among the di-
rectors is Miss Jane Addams of
Chicago.
zone by one the rights of the col
ored people are being taken away,
said DR.. Spingarn, although the col
ored people have amassed property
valued at a billion dollars" He said
that the colored people had right
to demand that they could spend
their money in the way they might de-
sire, or what was the use of earning
it, He declared that colored people
must organize to defend their rights
I He told of laws in certain cities that
prohibited colored people from living
/ in certain restricted sections. He op-
posed these laws.
