THAT EXTRACALL

The proposal to have an extra session Of
the legislature is still being urged by those
interested in the farm loan banks. The
governor does not seem disposed to issue the
call, but announces that he awaits the
pleasure of the people.
The Journal does not think that there is
any urgent demand for the legislature to
convene, but if a call is found to be neces.
sary it would not be a bad idea for the
governor to include in the call legislation
reducing the state rate of taxation to meet
the situation that will result from the placing
on the tax rolls large amount of property
heretofore not assessed and which condition
has been mentioned by the state board of
affairs. 1t is probable that the board will
have at hand in the next few weeks sufF;-
clent data to make an estimate Of the actual
needs of the state.

SENATORIAL TIMBER

around in north Louisiana few days ago
unbosoms to the New Orleans Item the fol-
lowing senatorial prognostication:
captain E. ]. Reihhardt of the Ninth
ward has just completed tour of the north
ern and western part of the state. He says
about the only political discussion at present
is the campaign for senator in 1918. He
finds growing sentiment for John Overton
OF Alexandra and that he believes the race
will be between Ransdell and Overton with
the odds favoring Overton.
"Overton is popular in: the parishes"
said Captain Reinhardt, "and will give
Ransdell a hard race if he decides to run.
1t seems to be believed that the Alexandria
man will be candidate and if he is Senator
Ransdell will have dangerous contender"
"He says Governor Hall is very populor
and that many prominent men are expected
to see him enter the race.
Captain Reirhardt found little discus
sion among farmers of an extra session to
amend the mortgage law"

LABOR WINS

Not many years ago there was agitation
in this country of the question of govern
hlent ownership of the railroads. The citi
zens of socialistic ideals were strenuous ir
their demand that the federal government
take over the railroads by purchase, while
the more conservative members of the union
opposed the scheme with vigor. Since that
time an almost imperceptible change that
has eliminated in governmental regulation
OF freight rates followed by the recent de-
clslon OF the supreme court fixing the hours
and pay OF the principal employees of the
roads.
Therefore if the government acts for
the people the result is the acquisition by
the people of the railroads without the custo-
mary formality of paying for them, for
there is but small difference between the
ownership of the roads by the government
and the right assumed by congress to re-
gulate charges and to fix rules for the opera
ton OF the property. The status of the
government is very close to ownership if it
has the right to regulate and fix both re-
ceipts and disbursements.
The president, congress and the courts
having capitulated to organized labor it now
seems proper that the three branches of
government should assume responsibility
for the conduct of the property which they
have usurped and that hereafter the people
should look to the government for the cure
of the evils that the people have suffered
from strikes, car shortage, unfair rates, dis
elimination and other wrongs growing out
OF the mismanagement of railroads.
Further entertainments on private pro-
perty would be insignificant as compared
to what has already been accomplished and
there can be no reasonable excuse for the
government to refuse to 60 the "whole
hog"
In the great battle between capital and
labor the fight has been won by the latter
and no small part of the credit is due to
congress and the courts. How unfortunate
is it that such small proportion of the
workers can restsixteen hours out of twenty
four with double pay to while away the
idle moments!

1t is intimated in official circles at

The head-busters in the labor unions are
dlspleased with the side remarks of the
supreme court to the effect that the right
OF rail road employees to strike is limited bv
the public interest. So it seems that the old
railroad maxim "the public be damned" for
merly INDUCED in by the magnates has been
adopted by the employees.

WE MUST recognize the fact that
there is a real shortage in the coal
supply in this part of Delaware, and
the extreme cold weather of this week
has brought the fact home to most of
US. But think moment of the seri-
business of this situation, and then
each man and woman in Kent county
and in Sussex County resolve him or
herself into a committee of one to
solve the situation in the individual
case. to at least prevent suffering by
themselves or families. 1t is far
more than likely that before Febru-
ary no coal can be had for domestic
purposes, and that wood burning in
stoves, fireplaces, or even in boilers
to get power to grind grain for food,
will be the only means available for
this purpose, or for heat and comfort.
For two weeks Milford has been the
only source from which coal of anv
kind could be had in lower Kent or
upper Sussex Counties: but now her
yards are bare and scores of famil-
lee are without c0ai. Prepare in time
by getting a supply Of wood. We
have the men to do the chopping, and
II necessary they can be compelled to
assist in helping to save suffering.
We have timber near. and the people
must not suffer for lack Of fuel. II
coal is not to be had-and It is not
then prepare for bitter winter by a
supply Of wood. Get a wood burning
stove and see how comfortable you
can be with It.

THE TIME is now at hand when
the public school unit must be chang
ed from its present standard of the
individual district, to that of the
county. The spectacle of nearly two
thousand school commissioners to
manage the schools of Delaware,
would be ridiculous-were it not so
serious as to its future bearings on
the State and its prosperity. Fifteen
intelligent men can, and will, manage
the schools of all Delaware, far bet
ter than the great mass Of persons
who are now school commissioners.
The taxes will be levied and collected
exactly the same everywhere, and the
woeful waste thru irregular attend
ance will be largely eliminated when
the County as the school unit is
adopted
