eleven games and ten of them before it con-

had played no scheduled game. Despite those handi-

to be answered. The Carranza Gov

GERMANY-ETERNALLY

UNREPENTENT.
From the North American Review.
It makes the problem of dealing with
Germany much less terrible and perplex-
ing if people can assure themselves that
Germany will recant; and they do So.
There is still in the civilized a strong
remainder of the barbarous superstition
that admitting sinister realities has the
effect of creating them, while resolute
denial of their being causes them to
lessen and disappear. That Germany has
gone Prussian and bad the thinkers OF
course declare, but that she is basically
sound. meaning that she is still rooted
in the old moralities and creeds, they
brayely insist, and they look forward
with cheerful faith TO a reunion of Ger
many with her enemies on the basis.
The expectation is typical of an al
most universal invasion of soft Optim-
ism. which is obscring the most funda-
mental and distinguishing truth of

rHAT SrssEX TAX RATE.

From the Georgetown Republican.
The Levy Court on Tuesday fixed
the rate on the new assessment at four
and one-half mills or forty-five cents
on the one hundred dollars. At this
rate a slightly larger amount will be
raised than has been raised in the
past at the eighty cent tax rate. We
congratulate the Levy Court upon
their wisdom and public policy. They
deserve the thanks of their constit-
uents for this action and should re-
ceive it.
The result will be that taxables who
have not been paying their proper
proportion of the tax, that is, those
whose property has been assessed
away below its real value. will pay
more tax and those who have been
paying tax on a fair valuation Will
have less tax to pay. Every man can
tell what his tax will be by multiply
ing the total Of his assessment by the
new rate. BY this action of the Levy
Court the public will have an oppor-
tunity TO compare the result of the
assessment under the new law to the
old law. and we believe it will con-
vince every fair man that the new
law is a great Improvement over the
old law, and has corrected the in
equalities Of the old way Of assess
ment.

SUSSEX AND IT'S TAX RATE.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The tax rate for Sussex county as
fixed by the Levy Court at its special
session last Tuesday for the year of
1916 will be of especial interest to the
people of Sussex. The new assessment
made under the laws provided for a
reform in the methods of assessing
property has resulted in much criti-
cism by those who knew nothing Of
the old or the new methods of making
values. but the result shows that
fairness and equal payment of tax will
fall under the new system upon all
alike. In making the rate for county
purposes thirty-fve cents upon the
one hundred dollars of valuation, and
an additional levy Of ten cents on the
same, basis for good roads, makes the
total tax in Sussex county forty-fve
cents, which is a reduction in the rate
of thirty-five cents. and it will raise
over eight thousand dollars more than
the levy of 1915.
The old rate was eighty cents on the
hundred, and if the old basis of as
sessment had been used. the Levy
Court would have had to raise the
rate to ninety cents on the hundred
to meet the bills; but the finding OF
more than two hundred pieces of
property that had never been assessed
under thH old system, and the leveline

R0Np ISSUE UNNECEssARY.

From the ElktOn Democrat "a
We have been informed that we are
too narrow because we are opposed
to plunging the Town Of Elkton into
$4,000 Indebtedness to build sewers.
Everyone has perfect right to think
as he chooses. provided he is honest
in his conviction. We believe that il
is possible TO build sewers without
issuing bonds. To meet this argu-
ment, some say il would be necessary
to raise the tax rate. That may be
true or IL may not, but one thing is
sure and certain, II the town issues
bonds the tax rate will be increased.
Stop just a moment to think the mat
ter over. At the present municipal

Town Treasurer collects in the neigh
borhood OF $500 yearly The inter
est on $4,000 would be. Cat per
cent. per annum), $1,000 or two-fif-
teenth Of all the taxes we now collect.
II would take that much to pay the
interest, not to mention any thing i'm
regards to a sinking fund. Wouldn't il
be better for the Town Council to map
out a plan for sewers, and set aside a
certain sum Of money each year. then
commence building more sewers. If
they are such a necessity, than ii
would be to pay big sum each year
in interest and at the same time be
in debt? We think it would be far
better. It can be done. Many per-
sons who attend the Elkton Improve
ment Associations meetings, will re-
member that last fall a gentleman
from Baltimore who addressed the
meeting, stated that bond issues were
a most expensive luxury. Elkton is
free of debt and we say lets stay
that way. There is peace and con
tentment," in such a position.
