With The Other Editors


The governors Of Pennsylvania, New
York, New Jersey. Delaware and Mary
land are meeting in Philadelphia to con-
slider how they can most efficiently rem
der aid to the national government in the
event of war. Such a meeting actuated
by a strong purpose will have an excellent
influence. Ii will strengthen the hands Of
the president i'm whatever movement he
undertakes to protect the rights and hon
active and v~igilant support of the execu-
tives of the several states, who can speak
for their people, and upon whom much
will depend. The historical conference
of Governors at Altoona in the civil wars
dark days was an encouragement TO Pres
ident Lincoln that could have been had
from no other 30 influential source. Gov
rno of the New England states nave
already had a meeting at Boston. To the
announced policy of the president to pro-
tect the lives and policy 123456l23i56

on the seas they pledged themselves and
the resources of their states. They urged
the arming of merchant ships, and prompt
and energetic measures for the national!
defense IN sea and land. There was no
discordant note Mt the conference. The
conference can be expected to act in an
equally militant and patriotic spirit. Crit,

REALIZE IMPORTANCE
Of PROMPT ACTION
Milford Branch OF Sufragists Hold
Interesting Meeting. Antis And
Neutrals Invited To Attend.

On Thursday, January 25th, a meet
ing OF the Milford Suffragist Associa-
tion was held at the home of Mrs.
Poetschke.
Besides the regular members there
were a few present who came for in
struction. They wanted to know the
reasons for this great movement.
Women, wether anti or neutral, are
beginning to realize that woman suf-
frage is an issue which must be faced.
Suffrage is commanding attention of
all women who wish to be abreast of
the times, whether these women be
for. against or neutral they must an
alyze the suffrage question. II they
are opposed to equal suffrage they
must know why they are opposed.
Just at this time this is especially
applicable to the women of Delaware.
Two years ago the state was virtually
unorganized today the whole state is
organized and one of the stiffest fights
for suffrage is on. The fight in Del
aware is to be a decisive one. Suf-
frage. if endorsed by our legislators,
would come and come quickly, as Del
aware is the only state in the union
in which the power to change the con-
stitution is given to the legislature
and is not dependent upon ratification
of the electorate. So if the Suffrage
Bill could be gotten through the leg
islature the overnOr's signature would
be all that would be needed for the
women of Delaware to receive the vote
automatically. And that, the Cover
nor has already promised under oath,
in his inaugural address. (The bill
must be passed by two successive leg
islatures before it would become ef-
! fective Ed.
If there are any women who are in
terested, or any who don't know but
are anxious to learn the fundamental
reasons for Equal Suffrage, we wish
those women would meet with US at
our monthly meetings. The next
meeting will be held February 23rd
at $3.50 p. m. at the home of Mrs.
Zurbrigge, on North Front Street.

MANY HEAR Arguments
ON TAXATION REFORM
Milford Meeting Well Attended By
Property Owners And Forceful
Arguments Were Presented.

That the people OF lower Delaware
and especially in the vicinity OF Mil
ford are interested in the question of
reform in the present methods of tax
alton was fully demonstrated here on
Tuesday evening last when 220 per-
sons attended the mass meeting in
Armory Hall to hear discussions on
the subject The meeting was presid-
ed over by Colonel Theodore Towns
end. The discussions on the topic
were made by DR.. Caleb r. Layton,
of Georgetown, and j. Hall Anderson
of Dover.
The meeting at Milford. while pos
sibly not the largest held by the tax
alton revision Committee throughout
the state. was probably the most i'm
pressiye. The entire gathering was
composed of thinking men and women
whose sole object seemed to be the
gaining of a better understanding of
the proposed changes Both DR..
LavtOn and Mr.. Anderson were fire.
quently interrupted by applause dur
ing the course of their addresses. The
majority of the leading business men
and bankers of the town attended the
meeting.
DR.. Layton spoke for about one
hour and advanced some of the ar
guments which he has presented at
previous mass meetings in different
parts of the state. dealing with the
need of taxation reform, but that part
of his address which appeared to 'go
home" was when he told the gather
ing that while sons of Delaware pat
themselves on the back in connection
with Delaware traditions. they are not
living up to these traditions when de-
serving institutions of the state are
suffering and other needed institu-
tions are lacking because of an an
cient system of taxation under which
persons of wealth do not pay their
lust proportion of taxes.
In this connection DR.. Layton told
of the proposed graduated inheritance
tax and what would be accomplished
in the way of additional revenue.
]. Hall Anderson spoke along the
lines of direct taxation, emphasizing
the fact that taxation is government
and told of the operation of the in
heritance tax system.
Both speakers pointed out how the
state would benefit in the way Of mucf
needed revenue by the enactment o.
an inheritance tax law.
