DELAWARE AND THE SHIP PURCHASE SCHEME.
IN ELAwAREANs are opposed unalterably to the VIII
~ son-MoAdoo Ship Purchase bill. They are watch
ing with intense interest and resentment the effort that
being made to the breath Of life that pro-
posed piece Of pernicous legislation.
The interest and resentment Of Doawareans are due
to two causes. One is the important part that
played by Colonel Henry A. DUPONT senior United
States Senator from this State the defeat the ship
Purchase bill that nlibustered to death in the last
session OF Congress. Another is the confederation
inellgently and aggressvey y-conducted
campaign OF educaton--that the Ship Purchase bill of
the last session was perncious measure, and that
the proposed by Secretary McAdoo is only
pornicous but also. ia view of what has occurred
insult to the intelligence OF the American people
In this connection it may be said that the outline
the DlcAdoo Shipping bill places his friend and
apologist Stuart G Giboney, in somewhat embarras-
sine position.
Only six weeks ago Mr. Giboney was explaining I'm a
public letter that his friend McAdoo had abandoned the
original shipping bill idea that he was touring the
West not advance agent Of government monopoly Of
deep transportation but propagandst of pre-
paredness and an apostle Of naval auxiliaries
Now comes Mr. McAdoo with his new" Shipping
bill, which would cause the government TO purchase

little prospect of Il may be that Republi-
can Senators will not again seek TO defeat il by
fbuster- but in the Democratic House seems likely
to encounter serious and determined opposition.
The Democratic leader Claude Kitchen is enes-
getically opposed TO the Shipping bin and so are the
Tammany Democrats, while some who might favor the
legislation under normal conditions will oppose it now
because of the financial condition in which the
government finds itself
From the Atlantic TO the Pacific and from the Great
Lakes TO the Gulf public sentiment is strongly op-

people Of our State through Senator DUPONT voiced
their opposition TO the McAdoo scheme in words so
plain that they could not be misunderstood. II there

Charles NJ. Schwab, president OF the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation is but one
of many American business men who
are chafng right now under the restric-
tions of trade imposed by the scarcity
of shins. I'm an address at Pittsburgh
ON Wednesday. he called attention TO the
fact that every sdetrack along the
Pennsylvania Railroad between that city
and New York was crowded with loaded
freight cars containing goods which were
awaiting transportation across the
water. This mighty tonnage. he added,
is held up for want OF Ships TO carry IL,
and still further, he took occasion to
say: 81 am ashamed to say that ! have
been compelled to 20 to foreign countries
to get ships to bring iron ore to our fur
naces'
That the advocates of the administra-
tion Ship Purchase bill will cite this in
support of their cause before Congress
is to be expected. That Mr.. Schwab
did not champion that bill in his speech
is a fact That he, in common with
most other American captains of indus
try. is opposed to the measure is prob
ably safe TO assume. He sees the need
Of American ships; but he is shrewd
enough TO see that government-owned
ships. under the limitations which would
inevitably obtain, would fall far short OF
meeting the need. Private enterprise
properly encouraged. would provide
enough ships under the American flag to
take care of our commerce as il should
be taken care Of The ship purchase plan
Of the administration in Washington
would not do it.

1t is no secret that in years the farmers in

streets of Dover and nothing can be

operation and support of the Town
Council The Dover Tree League and
the Century Club and other agencies

editorial, a man was secured from the
United States Departmen. of Agricul-
ture to come here and make sugges-
tions about the trees. He aid out a
very definite plan, but not much was
done because in a short time new men
came into the Town Council and the
whole matter was dropped. The Dc
partment of Agriculture or Delaware
College. through its extension service,
would send a man here to lay out a
comprehensive plan of planting trees
in the whole town, of cutting out the
useless trees and of pruning and saw
ing those that are worth saving. II
would not be out of place for the
Town Council and other agencies of
the town to employ a superintendent
who would follow directions and
would see that the proposed plan was
carried out to the letter. Trees along
the streets should be controlled abso-
lutely by the Town Council. No one
should be permitted to plant tree, or
lop off the tops of trees already plant
ed, without the permission of the
Town Council, and when a tree is to
be removed it should be done without
expense to the owner of the land on
which it stands. A plan is worthless
unless il is systematically and persis-
tently executed. Such a plan as is
here suggested would involve the town
in little expense but not very much,
and il would be worth a thousand fold
all that IL would cost.

From the Elkton Whig.
The Legislature, which is soon to

cratic i'm both branches. will. as Job
SAYS of man, be full Of trouble. And
this time it is trouble that cannot be
lodged nor hidden away in the cold
storage boxes. IL is trouble which.
according to the expert auditors re-
port, has been i'm cold storage for
some time-trOuble which has been
accumulating through five or six
legislative sessions and which now
comes into the open in the shape of
a Sl.50O,O00 deficit. with the prospect
of a S2,0O0,000 shortage before the end
of 1916. The auditors report in its
concluding comment remarks: 1--WE
trust we have made it evident that
the time has now come to stop this
wildcat financing i'm the State Of
Maryland" The Goodnow Commits
sion will send in its report soon af-
ter the session opens, and that, too,

tations. will be loaded up with trou-

trouble that is involved IN that 81

Legislatures have cold-stored reports
of reform commissions and the
LEGISLATURE which will assemble next
week. can. by an easy iuggle, avoid
real compliance with the recon-
mendations of the Budget and Econ
Omy Committees.
But the S2.OOO,000 deficit, as an
eminent Democrat once remarked of
national treasury deficit, is a fact
and not a theory. To square the
book and wipe off the results Of Wild
Cat financing that extended through
a decade or so. another big loan must
be hoated-the $2.000.000 must be
raised by borrowing il. The State
might sell its most productive vested
asset-the mortgage on the Northern
Central Railway-for Sl,50O00O, or
perhaps, something more than this
sum, but, as the Chase report points
out, the Constitution prohibits the use
of capital funds, such as this, for cur
rent purposes. Not only must the
LEGISLATURE provide for the financing
of the deficit which has already been
created or which is in immediate
prospect. but provisions must be
made for the raising of an increased
annual, revenue to provide not alone
for gradually liquidating the deficit
loan. but for the avoidance of an an
nually recurring deficit if the State

expenditures are to be maintained at
developed standards. The Chase re-
port points out that, to avoid re-
curing deficits, there must be an an
nual increase in State revenues of
SOC, 900 or perhaps $SOO,OOO. If the
Legislature can find some large
scheme of saving in State .eXpendi-
lures. this. of course, will lessen the
size of the necessary enlargement of
