THE law recently passed thru Congress
creating twelve special banks which are
to be known as land banks to lend money
10 farmers. at a rate not to exceed six
per cent through local loan associations
on mortgages which run for terms of Eve
to thirty years, is intended to make get
ting loans easier for the farmers. The
enactment of this law was in response to
a widespread demand among farmers
who have TO-. years complained of made
quate banking facilities. It is strange
that the bankers, usually so alert, did
not long ago work out a scheme for fn-
ancing the farmers so that government
system of rural credits would not be rec
essary. Constantly there is talk about
between the city and the
but it ends in talk. The gov
ernment is to do something that private
capital should have found way of
doing.

ALL STATE LICENSES DUE IN JUNE

Clerks of the Peace for Kent and
Sussex Counties call attention to the
fact that all state licenses, excepting
liquor licenses, are due in June. To
all licenses not paid in June 5 per
eentum will be added; to all licenses
not paid in July an additional penalty
of 10 per centum will be added, and
to all licenses not paid in August a
further additional penalty of 10 per
centum will be added, making a pen
atty of 25 per centum on licenses paid
after August; in addition, any person
or persons conducting a business af-
ter August of each year without
license are liable to be indicted by
the grand jury at the ensuing term
of court.
All manufacturers are required to
make a statement of the gross re
ceipts of their business for the year
next preceding and all merchants
statement of their purchases for the
same period, both of which shall be
under oath.
The penalty for making a false
statement is a fine of not more than
one thousand dollars, be imprisoned
not more than three years, or both.
The last legislature gave to the
Collector of State Revenue the right
to investigate and examine the books
and stock of any person who has
made the statement required, for the
purpose of asceTtaining the truth and
accuracy of such statement.
Any person refusing to permit such
examination shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanOr and on conviction shall be
fined $500 or imprisoned or both.
The manufacturer tax is $3.50. |
plus zoe per thousand on the gross
receipts.
The merchants tax is $3.50 plus 81 |
on the gross purchases.

THERE is no question but what the
governorship should go to Kent County,
provided the people of Kent County can
agree upon a candidate for that Office.
The late Senator Conner was an aspirant
for the honor, and was factor that would
have had a very earnest following had he
have lived but now the conditions are
rearranging themselves, and it is almost
certain that the various interests will
crystalize and settle upon William Den
ney of Dover. This is situation that is
growing rapidly, and in view of the break
in the Wilmington and rural New Castle
ranks of the Republican Party, and the
divided opinions as to the Republican
Party in Sussex County, it has now ar
rived at the point when it is necessary
for Kent County to assert its rights and
demand that she be recognized. The
party has been in the minority in Kent
County for the past six years, because Of
the lack of harmonious action among
those who directed its course, but there
is no reason why the Republicans shall
not again get together, and with one
common interest regain the control of
Kent County. With William Denney Of
Dover or John w. Herring of Milford as
the leader there will be no just reason
why they can not stand together against
the combinations which were at one time
possible between Wilmington. rural New
Castle and Sussex counties. In the past
month the positions have changed greatly,
and with the approach. Of the primaries
in August next, it is almost certain that
Kent County will be ready to stand as a
unit for William Denney of Dover or for
John w. Herring of Milford as its candi-
date for Governor.

THE Board of Health, acting for Town
Council, is determined that Milford shall
not be the victim of contagious disease or
disease breeding places il thorough
cleaning up and a keeping thoroughly
cleaned up condition will ward off such
calamities. Every citizen worthy the name
of citizen will cheerfully aid in their ef-
forts in behalf of good health and clean
illness. It matters not what the cost to
the individual may be in the case, he
should not permit bad surroundings to
endanger his own or his neighbors health
and happiness. Enforce the laws regard
less of friends or enemies and save the
public from trouble.

THERE is but one obstruction to the
building of the DUPONT Boulevard from
Georgetown to Milford, and that is at
the property known as the Whitehead
farm, located at Lincoln City, three miles
distant. It is a shame that where an
entire county is anxious for a great i'm
proved highway, that one individual
should stand in the operation of this
great public improvement. Fifty years
ago obiectors stood in the way of build
ing the railroad, but today, there is not
even one instance where an opinion is
entertained that the building OF the rail
road was d mistake. 1t has been great
blessing to the people and created wealth
for all the people by making their prop
erty available for use in growing crops
which could not have been produced
without it. This will be the conditions
Of the building of the boulevard, and
even if the fact causes some inconven-
ience to plans of an individual, the bene-
fit to all the people is of greater impor-
lance for the future. The individual
should be paid for the loss of property,
or for the disposession of home which
changes his entire plans for his peace
and happiness, and this certainly should
be brought about by the people in this
particular instance. General DUPONT
will not move until all the right of way
is cleared in this instance. and as the
lower end of the boulevard will be hn-
ished in June, he will he rerdy to let the
contracts for the section between George
town and Milford as soon as the right of
way is completed. Why not every body
take a personal interest in this matter
This opportunity will not come again in /
a hundred years to get so great public
improvement for the largest county in
Delaware. Every one can help who will,
so get on the job.

Why HELP IS SCARCE IN MILFORD

Stand at the money order window IN
the Milford Post Office on any morning
early in the week and there will appear
dozen or more young negro women, a
few negro and white boys, and vet few
of the "old guard" of white and negro
liouor sellers, who have served time in
iail for breaking the laws, and each of
these buy from one to five or six money
orders. which they enclose to the whole
sale liquor dealers in Wilmington and
Philadelphia. The amounts o. these or
ders seldom is below 81, the cost of
gallon of liquor, and runs up to the ten
and twelve dollars for the shipment to
be made to one individual. These people
can be seen at any and all times of the
day or evening, idle about the streets OF
Milford, and they refuse to pay any taxes
without compulsion. These men and
women refuse to work at any rate OF
wages, and sell liquor without fear OF the
law. Laws do not deter law breakers,
unless the laws are enforced to their
limit, and that is one of the conditions
which will happen now that the elections
are coming on. Liquor selling prevents
housekeepers from getting domestic ser
vice from women as well as men, and 1t
is M to the mothers of this community |
to see that the laws are enforced. Its
dead easy to find who is buying liquor in |
quantity and just as easy to learn who is
selling it. Last Saturday the writer saw
a young farmer from Slaughter Neck
with a gallon package of liquor under his
arm, staggering towards his team, and
that same man complained to the office
of the MILFORD CHRONICLE that the rea-
son he had not paid for the CHRONICLE
was because he could not get enough
money together, that he could spare from
his farming expenses to pay the dollar, and
he guessed he would discontinue the pa
per although his wife and children read
il, even if he did not. Yet this same man
finds each week two dollars to send for a
gallon of liquor to befuddle his brain and
niure his body, and deprives his family
If the little privilege of two cents each
week with which to get the local news
rom a local paper. The liquor business
S running a score of families within a
ew miles of Milford, and the next ses-
ion of the Legislature must enact some /
estrictions upon the shipment of liquor q
nto dry territory, or the people must in
list upon Statewide prohibition. The :
weak and unfortunate must be protected /
Igainst themselves, as well as against {
he lazy. dishonest folks who are selling
liquor and breaking the law. They will !
ell to your boy or your girl, or to the Z
,oor broken rum sot, without care as to t
What happens, only that they get the
money for the vile stuff they sell. We
want to call the attention of the law abid-
ng people to the conditions which are L

IN Delaware there is an awakening in
terest in the military defense necessary
for this country to maintain, and in the
rural communities this interest has taken
hold with the young men of the towns
and farming districts alike. 1t is most
noticeable in Georgetown, Laurel. Sea-
ford, Harrington, Smyrna and Lewes,
where men have identified themselves
with the local military companies Of the
State Militia nearest to their homes. This
is a very sensible thing for any young
man to do. If the training is never
needed, the man has had training along
lines which will help build up his physi-
cal body, as we'll as train the thoughts
and activities of the mind in things nee
essary for the cooperation of all men for
the welfare of the Nation. Should fate
require our efforts in defense of our homes,
our State and our Nation, the rudimentary
knowledge gained by membership in the
State soldiery, will help to save the sac
rihce Of thousands Of lives, through health
and ability to defend without
wanton exposure Of life.
Milford chronicle., 1916-05-26

WE do not wish to belittle the good
work of any man or set of men; but, the
iaudation of the affairs of Kent County
BY the various democratic papers in
Dover and Wilmington, as a means OF
making political capital for their party,
is misleading as to facts. The Demo-
cratic party in Kent county has been bor-
rowing money to pay its bills for the past
four years and more, and that accounts
in a measure for the tidy sum" IN bank
as shown by the last statement. Then
again the collection of taxes is matter
which covers much that the Democratic
party does not desire to have opened to
the public consideration. The laws gov
erning the collection of taxes in Kent
county require that no collector can be
re-appointed as collector of taxes, unless
he shall have paid over to the county
treasurer all the taxes levied and placed
in his hands for collection for the pre-
ceeding year; and, to get appointment,
the collectors arrange to borrow the
money to cover any balance they may
owe upon their duplicates, and which is
actually then outstanding in the shape OF
uncollected taxes, and so pay that into
the county treasury. This enables
them to take up their bond for the prev
ious year and qualities them for reap
pointment as collectors for the present
year. When the duplicate is placed in
their hands for collection, the temporary |
loans are repaid, and the endless chain
goes on, and the friends of the faction in
control hold the jobs and get the credit
for excellent service of the public. Be
that as it may, the county gets the money |
which is all right, but there will be an
ending at some time of this, and then |
practices will come to the front in the
shape Of trouble for some one with con
fdeuce and desire to assist friend. |
As matter Of fact, the method of as
sessment in Kent county is as bad as was
the system in Sussex that was super
ceeded by the present excellent assess
ment laws, and the method of collecting
the taxes is costing in net cash on the
average, about 81 900 each year in Kent
county. This is all wrong, and the taxes
can be and would be collected in Kent
county by Receiver of Taxes for less
than half the money now paid out to the
ten tax collectors. We can give credit
to the tax collectors of Kent county for
getting and paying over the taxes to the
county treasurer-they have to do it ac-
cording to law or not get the job; which
was more than many of their Predeces-
sors did even if the law said they must,
because they were not held to their duty
by the Levy Court; but to the credit of
the present Democratic Levy Court, it is
trying to live within the law, ard, for
one, we give them credit for doing 50.
The road laws, and the assessment laws
Of Kent county need wiping of the
statute, and more effective laws enacted
which will bring results to the people 4
for the money they are paying for county
government, and for the public highways. :
Credit where credit is due. but do not {
nislead the public as to the real situa-
ion, should be the aim of all honestly
conducted newspapers, as well as Office T
FOLDERS and leaders Of the political t
larties.
