GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

THE Republican Publicity Association through its
President Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Jr. today gave out
the following statement from Its Washington head
quarters:
"The question Of government ownership Is not one
TO be decided according to the demands OF temporary
emergency It Is doubtful whether there was any real
need for the to take the railroads when
II did II the railroads had been granted even portion
or the increase In rates which Mr. McAdoo established
soon after he got control the private managers could
have conducted the roads with good service as the
public could expect Neither there. nor is there
any reason for government operation OF the telephone
telegraph and cable lines. Experience has shown and
VIII continue to show that government operation is more
expensive and less efficient.
But cost In money and character Of service are minor
considerations. The fundamental evil OF government
ownership lies In the effect It has upon the individual
creating in his mind wrong conception OF his relation
to the government The gradual extension OF govern
ment ownership or operation carries with II the neces-
sary assumption that private operation Is either In
efficient or dishonest and that the citizen must look
TO the government for service Individual initiative is
discouraged The marvellous spirit Of enterprise which
developed in this country wonderfully efficient system
OF rail transportation is rebuked by the assumption that
1t has failed The who built network Of telegraph
and telephone lines throughout the country are given
the brand Of failure by men who built anything
in any country. II that will not dampen the ardor of
American enterprise, we do not know what will
Nhdt lhls country needs, and what every country
needs is encouragement Of individual initiative We
should induce every to put forth the best effort
there is in him and him reasonable reward for
success Under government ownership and operation
the tendency to discourage individual enterprise for
as we have in the recent past partisan prejudice
controls advancement except where an outraged public
forces recognition of ability.
None Of The great American achievements can be
credited TO the controlling hand government Freedom
OF thought and freedom OF endeavor with security in
the enjoyment Of the legitimate fruits Of personal effort
are essential to continued progress Every limitation
upon proper enterprise hampers progress and must re-
suit in Inertia or retrogression.
The problem Of government ownership and operation
is not merely Of higher costs and poorer service
although those are material considerations The real
danger the Stacking of enterprise the ncucation
of the idea that the people Of The country must rely upon
the government for everything, instead Of depending
upon themselves"
Those views expressed clearly by Mr.. Bourne. are
shared by thousands Of Delawareans who are hopeful
that his timely utterance will have beneficial effect in
Washington.

A BENEFICIAL INNOVATION.
From The Dover Stale News.

From the Dover State News.
We congratulate Professord Schantz,
principal Of the Dover public schools,
upon the innovation recently installed In
the schools, that OF serving hot lunches
10 the students Of the schools who are
unable to go 10 their homes during the
noon hour for lunch. These lunches. as
was pointed out In a news article which
appeared In this paper last week, are
prepared by the students in the domes-
tic arts class, and are served at the ac-
tual cost OF the food prepared Thus
appetizing and nourlshing lunches are
served at almost insignificant cost, only
fraction OF what similar food would
cost In hotel or restaurant. That this
innovation In the schools is highly
beneficial for the students cannot be
doubted, as the hot, nourishing lunches
better prepares them TO pursue their
studies, while the work OF preparing the
food provides much practical instruc-
tion for the members OF the domestic
science class. We hope the serving Of
the lunches viii continue, and II possi-
bic be extended to cover each school
day OF the week instead OF only three
as at present. And In order that the
good work may go on, the people OF
Dover should so-operate In every possl-
bic way with Professor Shantz and the
school faculty. When the next Dover
public schools donation day" comes
around give-and give literally. You
could not give to more worthy cause.

SEA POWER
From the New York TrIbune.J

Winston Churchill. British Minister Of
Munitions, says Great Britain Is re-
solved to submit to no restrictions
upon ornaments which would prevent
her navy from maintaining its "well
deserved superiority on the seas" He
speaks for the Lloyd George govern
ment, and also, we suppose, for a very
large majority Of the English people.
II this statement OF British policy
sounds at all like challenge TO US,
that is owing not 10 anything Inevl-
table In the facts but to state OF
mind recently created In this country.
The facts are that the British navy
has been the most formidable weapon
on the side OF right; that without It
we should have lost the world TO the
Hun. and that English superiority at
sea Is not an aspiration but condl-
tlon. 1t existed long before Mr.. VIII
son, In the campaign OF 1916. tardIly
persuaded to doctrine Of preparedness,
began to talk OF making the American
navy "lncomparably the greatest" SO
far as we know. that policy has never
been renOunced, and our tremendous
program OF construction is under way
But lately some have been talking Of
freedom OF the seas" almost as II Il
were something that would have to be
gained In spite Of the British navy, and
there Is abroad a theory that Mr.. WI
son purposes TO point 10 our own
naval program as the strongest con-
crete argument In favor OF limiting
armaments That would be like the
old game between England and Ger
many before the war.

Income TAX YIELDS
NEARLY 3 BILLIONS
Cos. 900 Persons With In
comes More Than $4,000
Assessed $593,6l3,000
LIQUOR IS NOT
PAYING so MUCH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Direct taxes
fell heavily on corporations and on per-
sons having large incomes, and lightly
on the great majority Of persons earn
ing less than $1,000 a year, it is shown
by The annual report Of Daniel 6. Roper,
Internal revenue commissioner, for the
year ended June 30. Although 2,3i9.00O
persons with incomes Of 5000 or less
in 1917 filed returns. including many
heads Of families having incomes rang
ing between $1,000 and $1,000 which
were repOrtable but not taxable, they
were assessed only S22. .395.000 In the
aggregate. or less than $40 each. on
the other hand 665,OO0 individuals with
incomes Of more than 5000 were as
sessed s592,6i3,000
Corporation excess profits taxes OF
S2,0i5, ,7t3,000 came from ii7,000 con-
Germs, while 2is000 corporations were
assessed income taxes OF Sis,i75,000
Other assessments by classes were as
follows:
Insurance companies, 2,iOO returns,
s3,072,0 railroad companies. 4.096 re-
turns, S29,s7S,O00: individuals subject to
excess profit tax. $1,000 returns, $685.
73i 600; partnership excess profits tax,
1880 returns, 500, i25,O00, and nunition
manufacturers, 2.2is returns, s9,iis.O00.
Actual collection figures differed slight
ly from the assessments.
Revised reports on collections show
that S3,69i $4,000 was collected from
internal revenue, including s2,s3s, $4,000
from income and excess profits taxes,
S3i7,553O00 from distilled spirits and
si26, 6,2S5 600 from fermented liquors, a
total Of si43,s3S. 600 from all liquors and
Si56, ,fss,000 from tobacco.
The year 1918 marked the beginning
OF a new era Of taxation. commented
Mr.. Roper. because the bulk came from
income and profit taxes rather than
from liquor, as in previous years In
1914, under the first income tax law,
only i6 per cent. OF total internal rev.
enue collections were from income and
excess profits taxes, whereas IN 1918
&c per cent. came from these sources.
During the year 2,23S Illicit liquor dis
tilleries were seized. mainly in south
ern States. North Carolina had one
third Of the total.
