The announcement that the British
government has postponed the apphca-
ton Of consumption to Ireland beyond
MAY H. is accompanied by AN author-
tativc statement from Washington dc
nving that President Wilson made any
representations Whatsoever to London
on this subject The reason assigned
for the postponement of conscription
is Tint the government desires tirat tn

also probable that the government Is
seriously concerned with the prospect
opened up by the fusion of Sin Fem,
Nationalist and clerical influences against
the conscription order, and is considering
whether the IMAM power to he derived
from CONSUMPTION will hc worth the ex-
pcnditurc of the physical force required

The CapitatiOn Tax Farce.

In it's report Of the assessment OF
property in New Castle county for the
purposes Of taxation, the County Board
of Assessment included capitation assess
ments To the amount of S3,S39.SO, of
which tho total of sg2675 is assessed
against the city of Wilmington. How
much tax may be derivci from this CAPT
tation assessment is n matter OF spec'i-
lation. At any rate it viii be SO small ms
to he of no account
The payment Of capitation tax, which
should he source of very considerable
revenue to the county and to the city
of Wilmington, also, IL intelhgcntiy iaid
and effectively collected has been
farce. In both city and county the man
date of the law has been iugglcd with and
ignored. so that today it ~ n silly joke.
The Constitution of Delaware requires
the imposition and collection OF n capita
ton tax. In respect of tins matter 1t says
"rhc General Assembly shall provide for
levying and collecting IA capItat'on tax
for every male citizen ol the State of the
agc of u wears or upwards; but such tax
10 bc collected in any county shall he
uniform throughout that county, and
such capitation tax shall he used exclu-
sivrly in the county IN which II is col
lcctcH" Final action II viii I've seen. was
left 10 the General Assembly, and to the
Levy Courts of the counties
Il, q tho
Constitution. capitation tax of - cents
pcr capita was la,d in New castle county,
hut never has there been serious Gu
dcavor Ia collect even this ridiculoma
amount And so the entire system "i car-
tation tax has dcRcncratcd INTO a farce
There IS no reason why there should not
hc a capitation tax Of AT least one dollar
wear imposed upon and collected from
! every c,uzcn OF New Castle county. And
the cltv oi Wilmington should impose and
rigldlv collect cap,tatlon taN oi the Same
