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 OF
their representatives in the legisla-
ture. by reason of the system which
prevailed 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 a result members Of legislatures
favored the desires OF those who sent
them to the legislature. and any re-
form laws were almost sure to fail.
Now the conditions have changed =.
Men are nominated by the votes of
the people through primary elections,
and then sent to represent the people
after the people have given them the
arbitrament Of the general election.
and so they are free to act without in
fuence from the interests which
would be affected by enactment Of
laws which would make wealth bear
its part Of the expenses of govern
ment. There should be an object to
which the money raised by an inher-
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 generations
who follow them. Regardless Of what
the final point will be for the use of
the money. the wisdom of making a
fair and just inheritance tax for the
State of Delaware, is now unquestion.
ed. as It is needed to help relieve the
burden of taxation and help TO NEE,
the growing needs of more revenue in
all departments of state and county

i'DRlS" WILL SEEK NEW LEGISLATION

The decision made by the Supreme
Court. at waehington. upholding the
Webb-Kenyon law, which prohibits
the shipment of liquor from wet to
dry states. brought joy to the camp
of the dry forces in Delaware. They
made no secret of the fact that they
will endeavor to have the present ses-
sion Of the Delaware Legislature pass
a law to prohibit the shipment Of
liquor from New Castle County into
Kent and Sussex Counties, which are
dry.
At the 1918 session of the legisla-
ture a law known as the Hazel anti
shipping law was passed, which pre-
vented the liquor dealers of New Cas-
tie County from shipping wet goods
down the State, but as dealers in other
states could ship liquor into the two
counties, the effect Of the law was
nullifed.
If a similar law Is passed this ses-
sion, however, In view of the Supreme
Court decision on the Webb-Kenyon
!aw, 4 would effectnally bar all LIQUOR
shipments from New Castle County to
Delaware's two lower Counties.

and Governor Miller delivered his last
message.
The committees, from the two
houses to arrange for the Inaugural
tion of Governor John G. Townsend,
Jr., next Tuesday. have been active
in that duty.
Speaker of the House, Hervey Hall,
named the standing committees early
in the week, and that body has been
waiting for the Senate to organize so
the work can begin.
Both the Senate and the House re-
ceived communications from the Con-
gressiOnal Union for Woman Suffrage
calling upon the Delaware Legislature

give the right of franchise to women.
Miss Margaret Lynch, of Georgetown

or for decision. In both, the question
,entered on whether the Webb-Ken-
yon law made the respective state law
applicable to the interstate shipments.
In both, the liquor interests contended
hat the Webb-Kenyon law was uncOn-
Jtitutional, and attorneys for the anti
jaloOn league and the states argued
that II was valid.
The argument OF unconstitutional
ity was passed on the claim that the
states cannot regulate interstate COM
nerce, and congress cannot delegate
power to them to do SO. Its validity
vas urged on the ground that Con-
yress, having power to prohibit en-
.irely. liquor shipments, could pro
hibit a part thereof.
The principal difference as to con-
3tructiOn OF the law arose over wheth-
er 1t applied to shipments intended for
personal use. Few Of the states. II
my. had laws until the last year max
ing 1t unlawful to use liquor. In Feb
uary. 1915. West Virginia enacted a
law.
Another disputed point of construc-
lion was whether the intention, referr-
ed to in the Webb-Kenyon law, was
he intention of the express company
hat the liquor should be used in vio-
latiOn of law, or merely the intention
Of the cOnsignee that It should be re-
ceived. possessed. sold or used in vio-
alton of the law.
Decision Does Not Effect Situation
In Delaware.
One of the local attorneys interest
ed in the wet and dry" fight explain
sd that the finding of the Supreme
Court could have no effect on Della
ware as long as the Hazel law had
5een repealed. This law provided
that no person was permitted to car
ry personally more than one gallon
Of liquor into Kent or Sussex counties
every "a hours. and absolutely pro-
hibited the shipment of liquor into the
county by common carrier. The law
was passed in 1913. but was repealed
in 1915. and as a result the Supreme
Court decision has no bearing on the
fight in Delaware. In addition II was
pointed out that the main part of the
contention just decided by the SUI
creme Court had reference to ship
Ding liquor in interstate commerce
and was, in fact. only the upholding
of the laws Of the states interested.

THE paper situation grows steadily
more serious for all who have to buy
either news. book or writing papers,
while cardboards and wrapping paper
are In such small supply that it is diff
cult to get any Of the grades. In
Europe the situation is worse than in
America. Even postcards in Ger
many cannot be written upon with ink
and the government states that no re-
lief can be expected until the war
ends. News print paper is TX cents
per pound, and difficult to get at that
price In the United States. Book pa
per ranges from to II cents per
pound and It is to be had in small
lots only. Even paper for job print
ing OF high grade has advanced so that
the cost of small orders for printing
Is affected. The purpose Of the Mil
ford Chronicle Publishing Company is
30 continue to give all the news to the
readers of the Milford Chronicle, and
It the same time afford advertisers
smple space each week. and to accom-
Plish this we are arrangiggato make
use of the present wide margins of
the Chronicle and add one more col
ann to each of its pages. This will
necessitate many changes in the me-
chanical department. which will re-
aufre about three weeks or more. but
We feel sure that the five thousand
subscribers to the Chronicle will ap-
Preciate the effort to afford them the
best and most complete weekly paper
in Delaware.

THE deadlock at Dover which has
fastened upon the State Senate, has
developed more strength against the
so-called organization wing Of the
Republican Party, than was supposed
20 exist, and each side is stubbornly
holding its position. Senator Barnard
and Senator Frazier are the storm
centers around which the trouble has
gathered, and it is the result Of the
stupid blundering, made during the
last campaign by both the Kent Coun-
II organization and the State conven-
ton; which was controlled by the
organization, and about these the
facts are we'll known to the people
and need no rehearsing TO refresh
their memory. Senator Barnard and
hfs colleague. have a personal interest
which may be termed a demand for
Rindication by the Senate of which
fhey are members, for the indignities
and abuse heaped upon them. Each
Of the gentlemen is entitled to the re-
Gpect OF their fellow citizens, as hon
erable men, and Senator Barnard es-
peciaIly feels. that BY cOnferring tine
honor OF President pro tenn upon him,
this will be a public acknowledgment
that a wrong was done them, and their
senatorial colleagues regret that It
should have occurred. We believe
that every Senator opposing the am
bition OF Senator Barnard, admits that
they regret the action Of the men who
sttempted to ostracize two Republican
Senators, who were already members
Of the Senate, and also the act Of the
State convention, which rode rough
s9iod over the rights Of the people who
sent delegates to that convention.
That is the point Of view which Sena-
tor Barnard takes OF the deadlock.
Those who know political methods,
also know that there Is another and
more potent reason which holds the
deadlock, and that Is the control Of
and through them legisla-
tion. Each will finally compromise,
but in the meantime, the people are

AFTER 1000 copies of last weeks
lssue of the Chronicle had been print
I'd and sent to the post Office, an ac-
efdent happened to the large news
Daper press, which caused delay Of
half day for repairs. A bolt broke
and fell upon the bed Of the press,
whore the type forms pass under the
cylinder, and thus print the paper.
This not only wrecked the type, but
ruined the coverings on the cylinder,
and delayed the sending Of about 1900
copies of the Chronicle to the mail
until Friday noon. We hope to be
able to install a larger and more
modern press during 1917, which will
DO better work more rapidly than our
present equipment. The cost Of all
kinds Of machinery is now a serious
matter for consideration.
