LEVY COURT AND PENNY hill.

rr~HE LEVY COURT is doing an excellent work for
i the whole State. and especially for Wilmington.
in putting through improvement Of the Philadelphia
turnpike this fall.
This highway has been of the toughest OF all
eastern roads for many years and Penny Hill has al
ways been a source OF dread to teamsters and auto
mobsts.
Many truckers in the northern part of Brandywine
hundred and nearby sections OF Pennsylvania prefer
10 haul produce 10 Chester and TO do their shop
ping there because of the splendid highway from the
Delaware line to Chester.
Most Of the heavy traffic to Wilmington comes in by
this gateway.
Through travel from New York and Philadelphia to
Washington should normally pass through Whining
ton but because OF the bad condition of this road
pecially at Penny HILL travel is being diverted
TO the north around Wilmington.
Every Wilmington merchant and dealer in building
supplies. coal and other heavy commodities, is inter-
esed in the proper improvement OF Penny HILL for its
present condition makes it impossible for normal load
be taken up and the length OF time required to make
the trip adds materially to the of delivering
goods TO that rapidly growing section.
The improvement now being carried out by the Levy
Court promises relief from the present deplorable
and dangerous condition OF this road. The theory is
expressed however that the Levy Court will not have
sufficient funds put the Penny Hill section in the
thoroughly good condition necessary stand the heavy
traffic II must carry
That part Of the road at present is followed out in
the center and heavy rain washes directly down
the roadbed. The trolley on one side, is much higher
making drainage that side very difficult On the
other side is rocky ravine which is menace
TO the lives Of travellers Considerable money there
fore must be spent that portion of the road and
the Levy Court should have the encouragement and
support OF everyone interested in the progress viii
mingon that It may feel justified in making eytraor
binary efforts necessary funds for this
and to make the road good to the city line.

WORTH A CAREFUL READNc.

VETE publish in another part Of this page the fun text
w of the declaration by the San Francisco Cham
Der Of Commerce OF its attitude toward the wilson
McAdoo Ship Purchase project the LaFoilete Sea
mems bill. It is a document well worth the careful
and intelligent reading of every American citizen
While it is true that the Ship Purchase bill was de-
feaed in the last session OF Congress by dlbuster
that was pariotcally conceived and ably carried out
ample notice has been given that those who we're be-
hind the bill then will make another effort TO put
through the next Congress. different FORM It is true
but none the less niqutous in principle.
The LaFolleite Soaman's bill already has driven all
deep-sea American ships off the Pacific ocean It is
being denounced all sides as a ruinous piece of
legislation put into effect by administration that pro-
fessed to be in favor Of the upbuldng the American
merchant marine. In fact that denunciation has
become widespread and vehement that the admins
traton repeal It modify IL greatly at the ap-
proaching session OF Congress.
We urge our readers to peruse the San Francisco
declaration from beginning 20 end so that when the
two measures are being discussed in Congress and
elsewhere they will have proper understanding OF
the questions involved. It is not only worth reading
but 1t should be cut out and kept future refer
ence.

Last year that clique spent the teachers salary money

M CLAIM DELIVERS
STRONG INAUGURAL
Advocates Short Session and
Economy; Opposed to
Dictation

In assuming the office of Lieuten-
ant-Governor Frank B. McClain made
n long address to the Senate. He said
that the Legislature should not treat
a. series of new year resolutions"
I'VE don't need to do a whole lot of
things" he said, but what Is done
should be we'll done and done quickly.
Mr.. McClain advocated economy in
appropriations. He said:
THE net revenues of the state for
the year 1914 show a decrease, due to
decrease is not a great one, but for all
that it's a decrease. and present pros
poets hold out no promise of increase
for the coming year. Therefore, a
greater economy will have to be prac-
ticed. We cannot spend what we do
not have and certainly no increase in
appropriations can be made over the
appropriations of 1918.
"It is positively amusing to hear
some people who ought to know bet
ter. but don't. talk of how the state
should appropriate millions for this
and millions for that. as If the public
treasury was as ineXhaustible as the
everything pitcher of the Danaides.'
They evidently are of the impression
that money grows on the trees in
) Capitol Park or can be dug out like
culm coal from the bed of the nearby
Susquehanpa. They talk about a mill
lion or two with the same abandon
they would talk about thirty cents of
their own. They seem to forget that
taxation fBsthe only method through
which gold can be put into Pennsyl-
vania's strong box and taxation these
days is not a popular brand of legis-
lation. We had evidence of that in
the results of the last campaign and
under existing cfrcumstances it be-
hooves us of the majority party to
sternly turn our faces against all
propositions in legislation in the shape
Of new taxes. whether the same be
new subjects OF taxation or additional
! burden upon those who. under existing
law and present conditions. are heavily
