Political parties have to feed offic,
holders" was his reply to a question
from the audience as to why the peo
pie permit such a drain upon estates
He said that the state could get the
Improvements to Farnhurst, the deaf
and dumb asylum, the tuberculosis in
stitution and its contemplated canals
only when it compelled the rich man
to pay his share of the burden of tax
alton.
Il admire a man who is rich and
who will give a great sum of money
TO Delaware College or who will build
a boulevard" he said, but Delaware
doesn't want any gifts from rich men
1t is the fourth richest state in the
Union in point of capital invested, and
if we had laws like other states we'd
have enough money for any purpose
We are here, my friend and /, to ad-
vocate that every man pay taxes ac-
cording to his ability" "
DR.. Layton made a reference to the
judiciary of the state and was assail-
ed by questions from the audience.
In reply he intimated that Governors
were placed in Office, or had been in
the past, by one man power and that
when these governors appointed the
judges this one man power was still
a dominating force.
Began Effort Four Years Ago
Mr.. Houston said that he and DR..
Layton were there because over four
years ago they had started in Sussex
County propaganda for reform leg
islation. In Sussex, he said, they
have the best form of county admin
istration that exists. Two years ago
he explained, the system in vogue
there had become so popular that ev-
cry political party endorsed the re-
forms and every man who went to
Dover from that one county went
pledged to carry them out
Taxation in Delaware is a big sub
ject, said Mr.. Houston. 1T is en-
gaging the best minds today. Certain
conditions exist in Delaware and
what are we going to do about it?" he
asked.
Want Inheritance Tax.
He then explained that he and his
are going to ask the leg
islature for a graduated inheritance
tax for state purposes.
This is no new thing" he said |
All taxation authorities agree that
this form of property should be tax
ed. New York has a graduated in
leritance tax and why not Delaware?"
The bill the sponsors have in mind
will be similar to that of New York
state and will exempt estates of $4,000
md less. Tne register OF wills viii viii |
,ollect the tax. The bill will provide
hat returns upon the tax must be
made under oath As an example of
he amount of untaxed property in
he state, Mr.. Houston cited that in
sussex County there was wealth es-
mated at s1OO,OOO,OOO while the as
essment books show only $4,000, 900
The rest is in such shape
hat it can not be reached under the
xisting laws, he explained.

SAY PRESENT STATUTES
ARE TOO ANTIQUATED
Varied Views Result From General Dis
cussion OF The Subject.

Taxation in its various forms was
discussed at a mass meeting held in
Turn Hall, Wilmington last Satur-
day night under the auspices of the
Taxation Revision committee at which
Dr.. Caleb R. Layton and Robert G .
Houston, both of Georgetown, spoke
Both speakers advocated radical
changes in the existing tax laws of
the state which, they said, had not
been materially changed since they
were placed on the statute books a
century and a half ago.
The keynote to DR.. Layton's ad-
dress was that every man in the State
Of Delaware should pay a tax in pro-
portion to what he is worth, by which
he meant that corporations and hold
ers of invisible assets" should help
bear the expenses of government and
that the poor man, because he hap
pened to own a little real estate and
some live stock, should not be COM
PEELED to bear the entire burden.
Mr.. Houston followed with some
comments on the tax situation in Del
aware, emphasizing DR.. Layton's
strongest points and outlined a plan
the advocates of this new taxation
have in mind to go to the legislature
this winter and ask for a graduated
inheritance tax the income from which
is to be used for state purposes.
DR.. Layton who is a well known
figure in politics in Sussex County and
who served as Secretary of State at
one time, delivered a fine lecture and
It was the regret of the sponsors Of
the meeting that there were so few
to hear him. Mr.. Houston was equal
ly as good. They both characterized
the existing laws, and especially the
laws relating to taxation, as obsolete,
and urged as a remedy concerted ac-
tion by the people looking to a change
Discussion Was Spirited.
That the audience was intensely in
terested in the subject was shown by
the lively discussion that followed DR..
Layton's invitation to anybody present
&c g ask questions. Some of those who
responded differed with the speakers
and as a result many different views
we're brought out. A few Single
takers" made their ideas known.
Leonard F. Cooper of Wilmington,
presided at the meeting and introduce /
ed the speakers. DR.. Layton struck I
right into his subject saying it was |
one that ought to enlist the sympath- |
les of every man in the State and that /
he and his companion were there to
arouse a spirit which would place
Delaware where she belongs.
I'VE Delawareans are living in the
past" said DR.. Layton. I'VE talk /
about our ancient history All very
well in its way, but to me the most
iespicable thing is a man who comes
rom ancient lineage and is worthless
himself. We are not living up to the

THE NECESSARY MIDDLEMAN.

Abolishing the middleman from
trade continues to be as popular an
employment as if il could be done
And so it can be if every individual
can produce everything he requires
Tor all his needs and manufacture it
without assistance from any other
person But even in the simplest
form of village life the middleman ele-
ment enters in as soon as one villager
prOcures produce from another and
turns it into usable shape for a third.
While there has been an infinite
deal of talk about the middleman and
his misdeeds we do not recOllect hav-
ing seen one chased down, captured
and marked as Exhibit A in the case
against the high cost Of living. In
deed, in the complicated process of
supplying foodstuffs to a great city
like New York it would be impossible
to say which particular handler is
middleman and which motor how
many middlemen there are. The
"middling" starts as soon as the hen
lays the egg, and even the incubator
may not be free from completely in
