benefit of the man who produces the
food of our nation. The farmers in
Delaware who are not familiar with
how the "other half" lives in agricul-
ture have no appreciation of the eX-
tremely favorable conditions agricul-
turally in Delaware. For example
there are thousands of farmers going
to the new irrigation sections OF the
west who will have to pay $1O0 an
acre for raw unimproved land that has
been reclaimed twice by our national
government. Reclaimed once by irri-
CATION which brought so much alkali
to the surface that it was necessary
to drain the land to carry off the
irrigation waters that held alkali In
.solutisn. To think that such land
hundreds of miles from the markets
miles from railroads, schools or
churches, sells for more than highly
improved land In Delaware, makes us
wonder at the mistakes of those who
are land hungry"
In conclusion Professor Hayward
stated that while much discussed at
the conference would not apply to
Delaware conditions, lit is unquestion
ably true that few promiscuous bank
laws would be of good assistance to
the farmers in Delaware in financing
their business. That all who are in
terested in the welfare and prosperity
of our state should give this matter
careful consideration goes without
saying. While a few are willing to
admit that the farmer should have ac-
cess to the government map, to the
extent that is recommended by some,
there is none of us but what want the
farmer to be a better business man
in order that he can stand on his own
feet and can stand shoulder to should
er with the urban business man in
the welfare of the nation"
Milford chronicle., 1915-12-24
GOOD ROADS PLEDGE BROKEN.

Doing the things it promised not to do
and leaving undone the things itpromised
to do, is a prominent characteristic of
the Democratic party. One of its cam
paign pledges in 1912 was the fostering
of a merchant marine without impOs-
ing additional burdens upon the people. "
Another one of its pledges was national
aid in the construction and maintenance
of post roads.
Having promised not to impose addi-
tiOnal burdens upon the people, the
Democratic party Immediately endeav-
ored to force through Congress a ship
purchase bill which would do exactly
that thing. Having promised national
aid to good roads, it proceeded to deplete
the Treasury by cutting off revenues
and enacting extravagant appropriation
bills so that there were no funds avail
able for the carrying out of its pledge.
Moreover, when the Republican mem
bers of the Senate Committee on Post
Office and Post Roads recommended
favorably the Bourne bill for a national
bond issue to aid the states in raising
funds for highway improvement, the
administration, led by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoO, threw its influence
against that measure and declared it to
be impracticable. We could 90 into
debt to buy ships but can not 60 into
debt to build good roads. We can have
a bond issue to provide for the national
defense, but could have no bond issue to
aid the states in the construction of per-
manent highways.
Furthermore, one member of the
Presidents Cabinet proposed legislation
to aid South American Republics in fl
nancing internal Improvements on eX-
actly the same plan of bond issue that
was proposed in the Bourne plan which |
had been approved by the Senate Com
mittee for the aid of the states. Just |
as the Department of Commerce en-
deavOrs to aid Swiss manufacturers of |
toys in placing orders in the United i
States, leaving the American manufac-
turer to shift for himself, so this Ad-
would help finance internal
in South American Rep
publics, while leaving the States of the
American Union to devise plans as best
they can. Apparently, Democratic
pledges are made to be broken, not to
be observed. Platforms are made to
get in on, not to stand on.
