SUNDAY AuroMoBLrNG AND COMMON SENSE

- ELAWARE automobiles should remember that gas
IL less Sundays have not been done away with in
order that the gasoline that has been saved during the
last month may be wasted tomorrow.
The patriotic automobilist will do all in his power
70 make the saving effected during the Gasess Sunday
period fully effective and not an excuse for ndulgng
in an orgie Of gasoline wastefulness.
BY using ordinary common sense, American automo-
bliss can make unnecessary for the government TO
resort to gasoline raonng something that Is sure TO
come unless such common sense be exercised.

How much horse sense and revenue
efficiency the Senate can force into
kitchin's dangerous tax bill remains tC
be seen. The House Of Representatives
may or may not accept sound and sim
pie methods Of raising revenue. Com
promise with the Kitchin monstrosity
may be unavoidable. But in the Senate
as developments before the Finance
Committee show, there are brains
enough and courage enough to devise
schedules which while supplying the
immediate needs of the Treasury will
not rock the business Of the nation like
an earthquake.
Nothing could be simpler than Sena-
tor SmoOts proposed amendment for
a minute tax on sales. Nothing could
be safer. Nothing could be surer to
pour revenue into the Treasury. The
Smoot proposal embraces two sugges-
tions. One, which is the very essence
OF a true consumption tax, would tax
every sale TO the consumer The tax
would be so low that in a whole year
IL would amount to only a few dollars
in the case of a person or a family
that spent, say, $50 month, or S75
month, or even 500 a month on articles
OF consumption. Yet, because the per-
son or family that spent $1,000 a month,
or $4,000 a month, or whatever you
please, would be paying correspond
ingly, the total revenue which could be
produced is estimated at si,25O 100000.
The other suggestion would take the
tax every time the article passes in
barter from one hand to another all
the way from the original producer
to the ultimate consumer. The grain,
for example, would pay going from the
farmer to the elevator, going from the
elevator TO the flour mill it would pay
again; going from the flour mill to the
jObber II would pay stlll again; and
so from the jObber to the wholesaler;
from the wholesaler to the retailer;

WASHINGTON, Oct. i9-The declara-
tlon Of independence Of the provisional
government Of the Czecho-SlOvak
nation was issued here yesterday,
The document sets forth the prlnci-
Piles Of government on which the
Czecho-Slovak people hope TO establish
firmly their nation as republic in the
final severance Of the shackles Of
Austrian misrule.
The text OF the declaration was pre-
sented TO the State Department and
dispatched to the Allied Governments
by Prof. Thomas G. Massaryk. Prime
Minister and Minister Of Finance Of the
provisional government
Other slgnatories to the declaration
were General Nilanr Stefanik, Minister
Of National Defense. and DR.. Edward
Benes, Minister OF Foreign Affairs and
Interior. The declaration IS the prod
uct OF several months deliberations by
the national leaders Of the Czecho-
SlOvaks.
Although finally it is given as in
Paris. which Is the temporary seat OF
the government, It was actually issued
from Washington, where Professor
Masaryk, president of the Czecho-
Slovak National Council, has been en-
glneering the national movement, In
Guiding the control Of the 'Czecho-Slo-
yak armies in Russia and France, as
well as its political interests.
The declaration reveals the United
States TO be the chief source Of In
spiratlon to the oppressed people Of
Bohemia in their struggle for national
entity, and It bears also the impress
OF President Wilson's ideals Of democ-
racy
whose tardy promises for autonomous
government and the establishment OF
federal States are derided.

independence
GUARANTEES FREEDOM
TO OPPRESSED PEOPLE

LONDON, Oct. 10, 1918.
The Czecho-Slovak National Council
and the Union of Czech Deputies, at
their meeting in Prague, September 30,
adopted a resolution declaring the
Czechs have no faith in the promises
OF the Vienna Government The reso-
luton, which was suppressed by the
Austrian censor, has just reached
London. 1t says, in part:
I'VE do not believe today in prom
lses given and not kept. The most
vehement promises cannot blind us
and turn us away from our aim. The
hard experience of our nation orders
us imperatively TO hold firm In matters
where reality Is stronger than all
promises. The Vienna Government is
unable to give us anything we ask for.
1.-The Czech nation will follow its
anti German policy whatever may hap
pen, being sure that its just cause will
finally triumph, especially today, when
it has become part Of the great ideals
Of the Entente whose victory will be
the only good produced by this terrible
war"

New Rules Adopted
Effective At Once

This newspaper has always con-
tributed literally to everything that
has come up. We have made cash
donations to every movement inau-
gurated in the city. Especially has
this been true of all patriotic move
ments. Our space is the same to us
as -four and sugar is to your grocery
man. Our people have no more right
to expect us to give our space than
they have to expect the groceryman
to give his flour and sugar. We have
been liberal, considering our limited
means, and for this reason we are
forced to adopt certain rules here
after by which we will be enabled to
realize something for the space in
our newspaper, and this applies to
both The Daily and Weekly Sun.
In the future we will make a
charge Of 1c a word for all notecis
calling attention to entertainments,
ice cream suppers, district meetings,
school entertainments, etc. With the
increased expenses falling upon us
daily, this step has been absolutely
necessary. The rate announced is a
most reasonable one, and by counting
the words in the notice before it is
sent to the office you can tell just
what it will cost.
We will also be forced to adopt
the cash in advance RUE on this class
of work, as it would be unsatisfac-
tory to have to open up accounts for
such small amounts.
We hope that we have made it
clear to everyone and that we may
not be embarrassed or be forced to
embarrass anyone hereafter by de-
pay for these notices that
should have been paid for all these
years.

Mrs. Owens Estate
Wound Up Quickly

The estate of the late Mrs. S. R
Owens has been satisfactorily adj
justed, we are, informed. This was
possibly one Of the quickest adjust
ments of matters of this nature ever
recorded here.
Mrs. Owens died without having
made will, By virtue of the state
law, her husband, S. R. Owens, was
entitled to her personal property. BY
agreement of the children of the de-
ceased and Mr.. Owens, Col. ]. ].
Mitchell was asked to take full
charge Of the settlement, or adjust
ment of the estate, all parties agree
ing to leave the matter entirely in
his hands. Col. Mitchell made an
estimate of the personal property,
submitting it to the children and Mr..
Owens. A check for $1,000 was
given Mr.. Owens by the children in
full settlement of all his interests.
The entire transaction required less
than two hours.
Regarding the disposition to be
made of the property, no statement
has been given out. It is generally
understood by close friends of the
family that it will be sold at an early
date.
Members of the family called here
for the funeral left for their homes
Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Owens, we
are informed, has volunteered in the
British army and expects to leave
within the next few days to enter
the service of his country.
