only other chances TO escape the death
penalty are of such kind that they would

Gov. Whitman to reprieve Becker or

would lie in the discovery of new evil

in the contracual relation which the companies

that the steel companies ought made allowance
for the contracts which they long ago as last

that the steel companies should turn down business

tracts for the United States.
Due TO the fact that steel products bringing far

demand from the warning powers, and also on ac-
count Of the increase OF wages through the stimulation
Of the steel industries the bids recently opened were
higher than anticipated. For year the administrs-
tion has been taking credit telf the boom the
steel industry and the increase OF wages which as
everyone knows, was occasoned by war orders Now
thai this inflated condition Of business tugs the purse
strings OF the Navy Department Secretary Daniels
tries TO evolve retroactive understanding between
the steel companies and the government and there
are said to be indications that he may appeal Con-
gress for sort OF legislation which would compel
them to take contracts more favorable terms. Is

SPIRIT OF THE

WORTHY OF CONTAMINATION.

MUHIHl OF COMMENDAIION,
From the Dover State News.
The very efficient work of the Dover
authorities in so quickly apprehending
the two highwaymen who held up and
robbed Thomas farrell, of Smyrna,
on the State Road near Dover last
week, and the speedy manner in which
justice was dispensed to the two culp-
rits by the Kent County Court is de-
serving OF special commendation.
Within a few hours after Mr. Jar
rell had reported the robbery at Dover
Constable Frank Vansant, Policeman
Hurd and State Detective Murphy had
arrested Charles Fisher, white. end
Thomas Johnson, colored, on suspi-
cion of having committed the crime,
and after the money stolen from the
aged man had been found upon Fisher
the two men confessed their guilt.
The quick action of the local officers
of the law should prove & good ex-
ample for the police force of Will
mington.
AS it Happened. the special plead
ing" session of .he Kent County Court
of General. Sessions was held a few
days after the robbery, and the two
men received and began to serve their
sentences without any unnecessary
delay. The entire proceeding was
handled with a dispatch ami efficiency
that wouli do credit to any commu-

Direct Taxation is
Offensive and Unpopular
(From the Washlngton Post.l

II seems already assured that the
recommendations Of the administra-
tion for taxation Of gasoline, horse
power of automobiles and OF internal
combustOnn engines has met with
popular disapproval and that the OPP
position to such taxation will be ma
ton wide and well organized.
The proposition to reduce the limit
on the income tax so that instead Of
$4,000 being the minimum IL shall be
fixed at $4,000 is certain to arouse
fierce opposition, although it marks
but a step to the advance to the
tinality when all incomes will be
taxed by the government, as was and
is the logic Of just and impartial
income tax
The class OF persons who will be
taxed under this proposition of the
administration to change the limita-
tion is very numerous, and those
composing it will resent such taxation
in a most emphatic manner in public
discussion, and at the polls next year
if il should become a law.
II these above named proposed
taxes are approved by the Congress,
not only will the administration which
proposed them become unpopular, but
the senator's and Representatives who
vote to place them upon the people
Will share in that unpOpularity.
Direct taxation is obnoxious to
the people of the United States.
The present so-called emergency
tax is a very unpopular measure, and
in great degree contributed to the de-
feat of many Democratic candidates
for the Senate and also those for the
House in 1914.

lions of United States citizens will re-
inforce the discontented and multiply
the dissatisfaction.
It is a political mistake for the ad-
ministration to attempt to increase di-
rect taxation at this time when there
are other avenues open to collect reve-
nue. and obtain funds.
There seems to be unanimity in ad-
ministration and Democratic circles
that the legislation in the Underwood
tariff law affecting sugar was an err
ror, and that il must be corrected at
the earliest possible moment.
Is it not possible there are other
errors in that law as it stands today?
viii not careful scrutiny by the ad-
ministration and the Democrats in the
Congress reveal errors in that law
beside the acknowledged one Of the
sugar schedules?
Cannot other millions of revenue be
added to the income of the govern
ment through careful and considerate
revision Of the Underwood revised
tariff?
We are pleased that measures are
being considered by the administra-
tion looking to protection of the peo-
pie of the United States from the
