SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
RuY A LIBERTY BOND.

From the Dover State News.
Every American citizen whose
financial resources will permit him to
do so should purchase one or more
OF the American war bonds, better
known as Liberty Bonds. While at
first it was believed that the bond
issue would be over-subscribed. yet
il becomes evident at this time that
the Government may have some diff
Guilty in disposing Of the entire issue.
These bonds make a good and safe
investment, and there is no reason
why any American with money lying
idle should refuse to inves1 in as
many bonds as possible, when by so
doing he is doing his bit" for his
country.

SAFETY SIGNALS.

From the Newark Post.
Although there is perhaps more
auto traffic in Newark than in any
town on the peninsula, it is perhaps
the oily one that has neglected traffic
signals. Keep to the Right" Dam
ger, Go Slow" school Street, Drive
Carefully" are prominent warnings
placed in many OF our towns. Newark
has some very dangerous corners.
keep to the Right In center or
street intersections would add much
to our Safety First Campaign. Those
streets running into and crossing
Main Street should have these at once.
Danger, keep to the Right" strictly
enforced would prevent these thought
less and terrific whirls into Main
Street. The Center Street signals have
practically prevented all crossing col
lisons and should by all means be
adopted
The suggestion is herewith made
to Council. asking that they make
provision for such before some shock
ing accident stuns the Community.

Editorial Opinion
THE TASK OF THE SENATE.

THE TASK OF THE SENATE.
From the New York Sun.
The war revenue bill goes to the
Senate inadequate. inequitable and
crude. although it does not contain
all the Objectionable provisions re-
ported by the House Committee on
Ways and Means. II will be the SEN
ate's job to build upon the frame it
supplies a practicable edifice Of legis-
lation capable OF supplying the wants
Of the Treasury without paralyzing
any trade or industry in the country
The authors OF the measure confess
that il was unscientifc and in many
paragraphs indefensible Apparently
they overlooked the effect many OF
the imposts they proposed would in
eyitahly have on the businesses from
which revenue was sought. Those
businesses would have been driven to
the wall II they survived, their pro-
fits would have shrunk TO figures
hopelessly yitiating the estimates OF
income on which the bill was based ;
il they did not survive. not only would
the Treasury have suffered but the
commercial community would be dis
organized from top to bottom. The
committee draft of the bill was des-
/ tructiye, not constructive.
So far the Senate has displayed a
disposition to analyze taxation pro
/ jects in the light OF reason. IL has
not assumed that a revenue bill can be
written in q moment of frenzy and
made to produce satisfactory returns
simply because the Government ur.
gently needs great sums OF money
On 1t depends the final form OF the
4 law. and its responsibility is The
greater by reason OF the fact that The
House has given public confession o
its inability TO turn out a workman
like, we'll balanced and financial!
sound taxation bill.

announced and there are many divergent
results in the suggested three-year period
preceding June 80. 1917. On the roads In
different parts Of the country.
THE plan would. he assumed, be broad
ened to provide not only for renewing ana
extending maturing obligations which
would be necessary to stabilize the finan-
cial structure OF the country. but also
to provide new capital for additions and
oetterments to road and equipment. This
IL irnperauvely required to promptly move
the war trafio on the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN and naturally the rate structure
should be broadened to cover the increas-
ed costs and charges to avoid the neces.
sity OF congressional appropriations
which would havS to be made up by in
creasing general taxation. In short. the
railroads must be made self-sustainins. y
Therefore he felt the present duty of
the railroads was to study the situation
