plain that draymen, since securing

So it is very easy to figure whether
the tax burden of the state has de-
creased on the above showing of the
number of mills on the dollar of the
assessed valuation of the state.
Difference in Rate.
In other words. a man paid SIS in
1910 for each $1,000 of assessed val
uation, while this year he pays $7.6S
on each $1,000 assessed valuation.
The highest tax burden ever
placed on the people of the state,
according to the above figures, was
$S.4S on each $1,000 assessed valua-
ton in 1917, the first year that the
much Wanted democratic board of
assessment had control of. the state
finances. This year the assessed
valuation is 7.68 on each ST 900, still
higher than at any time in the state
for the past 10 years. The lower fig
ures this year are possible for the
reason that county assessors sent in
state valuation nearly S40,000,000
more than last year, which enabled
the board to make the lower levy.
The above figures are complete
and from official records backed by
the highest financial authority of
the country, which makes a COM
plete record of the financial condi-
ton of every state in the union,
As democratic state officers have
been calling attention to the 'rec-
ords" the above figures are respect
fully submitted and speak for them
selves.

FIGURES SHOW
HOW TAX BURDEN
OF STATE CROWS
Compilation From Records Re.
veaIs Highest Charge
Made Under DEM
oCratiC Regime
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 8.-(Special.)
The controversy whether the tax
burdens of the state have increased
during the years of democratic colt
troll Of the financial affairs of the
state as compared to the time II vas
in control CT the republican admin
istration up to 1917 should be f.
nally settled by real figures as they
ale shown taken from the records
q the state in charge of the state
board of assessment.
Democratic papers and orators
have charged S. R. McKelvie, re-
publican candidate for governor,
with making misstatement when
lie charged that the tax burdens of
the state had increased under demo-
cratic control Of the state. The rec
ords are always the best evidence
and as the following figures are
taken from the records in the hands
of the parries making the cha .ge
that Mr.. McKelvie made a false
statement, are interesting.
Condition in 1910.
1t will be noted that in 1910 there
were only two funds, general and
university. Everything at that time
was taken from the general fund.
In 1911 state aid" for bridges was
made separate. Then in 1918 a spe-
Gifted amount was made for uni
versity building" and normal
schools" Then in 1917 university
activity" road" and support of
institutions" was added. Hereto
fore this had all been taken from
the one item under the head of gen.
eral fund.
The figures as they are stand for
themselves and it might be well to
state exactly correspond with those
published in connection with all

REFERENDUM FAVORED.
Central Labor Union Asks Legislature
To Amend Constitution.

The Central Labor Union, at it's meeting
last night, adopted the following:
BE it resolved by the Central Labor
Union of Wilmington and vicinity:
That we call attention to the fact,
that voters of the conservative state
of Massachusetts adopted the initia-
tive and referendum at the late cleo
ton.
We consider it significant that Mass
achusetts is the twentieth state to adopt
the initiative and referendum for state
purposes and that two other states have
the referendum, but not the initiative;
and that % of the remaining states have
the initiative and referendum for their
cities and towns, or, for part of them.
We believe that when for any reason
the Legislature fails to enact law, that
might be for the best interests of the
State, that, the ople should have the
right to pass that law, by majority
vote; and, VIC further believe that if for
any reason the Legislature should pass
law, that might be objectionable or unde-
sirable, the people shoul have the rigth
to reject that law, by majority vote.
Resolved, that we therefore earn
estly urge, that the next Legislature adopt
an amendment to the Constitution Of the
State of Delaware, providing for the
Initiative and Referendum; and that
copies of this resolution be forwarded to
the 1919 Legislature, and the members
thereof, and also copies be sent To the press
OF Wilmington
