SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
rAXEs An INHERIrANCE.


From the Milford Chronicle.
A graduated inheritance tax is one
source from which Delaware must
produce revenue annually In the
past this subject has been prevented
from coming before the people or
their representatives in the Legisla-
ture. by reason Of the system which
preva led up to the change of our
State Constitution twenty years ago.
Then men Of wealth and business af-
fairs practically named those who
should sit in the Legislatures and
as result members OF Legislatures
favored the desires Of those who sent
them to the Legislature, and any re-
form laws wcer almost sure to fail.
Now the conditions have changed
Men are nom mated by the votes OF
the people through primary elections,
and then sent to represent the people
after the people have given them the
arbtrament of the general election,
and so they are free to act without
influence from the interests which
would be affected by enactment OF
laws which would make wealth bear
it's part of the expenses OF Govern
ment. There should be an object to
which the money raised by an inner
itance tax is to be applied and that
object should be building real paved
highways in each county. This would
be equity as well as justice; for. the
money taken and accumulated into
large fortunes during the life OF any
one, would have to contribute its part
through the Inheritance tax to build
and keep highways for the genera
tions who follow them.
Regardless of what the final point
viii be for the use OF the money. the
wisdom OF making fair and Just IN
heritance tax for the State OF Della
ware. Is now unquestioned. as It is
needed to help relieve the burden OF
taxation and help to meet the grow
ing needs of more revenue in all de-
partments OF State and county Gov
ernment.

WHAT WE DON'T KNOW.

From the Snow Hill People.
AS explained in another article IN
this weeks issue we are trying TO
make the annual Farmers Institutes
of Worcester more worth while by
arousing a greater interest in them
on the part of the farmers as a whole,
and by making it easy for the farm
ers to secure Information that VIII
be of concrete and definite assist
ance to them.
In the past these institutes have
been poorly attended, especially IN
the upper part OF the county. and
thus they have not been nearly so
efficient and helpful as they might
have been. This is no fault OF the
director. DR.. Hill, nor any of his CO
workers. The trouble is with us.
We are too prone 60 be satisfied with
the little that we already know, and
to regard with mild contempt and
amusement the idea Of these college
people" bringing us anything new
that is really worthy trying out.
Here is where we are wrong on
two counts. First-,A majority oi
these institute speakers are not mere
college peopie;" they are men who
have been pre-eminently successful
In their particular farm-specialty
AS an illustration, Senator Collier, oi
Talbot County is practical farmer
and also a scientific one; Mr.. Oswald
who has talked before many Wor.
cester county audiences on fruits and
poultry is actually making money ou
OF these products; DR.. Hill, the direo
tor OF institute work. is a progressive
and successful farmer and so on
Second-We have only begun e
scratch the resources and possibili
ties that are lying dormant in the
soil Of old Worcester. BY proper seeC
selection. control OF insects and dis
ease Belgians, Germans and othel
European farmer-folks are able t
grow 300 bushels of potatoes to thl
acre and forty bushels Of wheat pc,
acre on SOL that has been IN cult
walton centhIrids longer than ours
while we average around 100 an,
fifteen bushels respectively Thl
trouble with us is that we think W,
know it all when we really know 8,
very little.
