A BILL WHICH WAS introduced by
Senator Handy, if it becomes law
will provide for assistance TO voters
al: the general elections who may need
assistance from any cause which may
result from physical inability or from
Ignorance as TO how TO prepare the
ballot This has been branded as a
"Voter's Assistant Bill", with powers
similar to the bill which was repealed
several years ago; but it is not, and it
certainly supplies help for those who
need help, and designates the chal-
iengers who are now at the polls, as
the persons to perform these duties
for the voters who may call upon them.
The majority party seems favorable to
passing the bill. but there is a stiff
opposition on the part of the Demo-
Gratis to kill the bill. Threats have
been made from this source to hold
I'D appropriations which require a two
third vote for them to pass, but the
bluff will be called and the opposition
placed on record.

THE BILLS INTRODUCED in the
State Senate to change the methods OF
collecting taxes and for making the
assessments of property for taxation
purposes in Kent County are in the
line of progressive government and
fairness. The bill divides Kent County
into three districts which will always
insure a minority representation in the
Levy Court, and the Comptroller Of
the County will be elected by the peo-
PIE at large. This insures that the
Comptroller will have the power to
control expenditures which may ap-
pear to be wasteful or exhorbitant for
the service rendered; because to over
ride his veto it will require the unan-
imous vote of the three Levy Court
men. This is certainly practical bus
mess and fair TO the people. The bill
should become law regardless of the
partisan opposition from the minority
in the Legislature.

1T is PROPOSED to sell the electric
light and water system owned by the
Town of Milford, and with the proceeds
pay off all the bonds outstanding
against the town for Street and Sewer.
and also for the light and water in
stallation. For thirty years the Town
OF Milford has operated a light and
water plant, and it has paid the inter-
est on the bonds and the operating
expenses, and in addition paid $4,000
Of the $4,000 worth 0f bonds issued
for establishing the plant, building the
sewers and improving the streets. At
present the plant is obsolete and to
bring it up to the required service the
aight and water commission are asking
that bonds to the extent of of an addi-
tlonal $4,000 be issued with which to
rebuild the plant. This has caused
some Of the people to advocate dis
posing of the plant and paying off the
Indebtedness of the town and let pri-
yate or other interests supply the light
and water for the people. This of
course will have to be submitted for
the people to vote upon, at either
special or the next town election. A
bill has been introduced in the Legis-
iatdre authorizing such referendum for
the people to decide the question pro

TO INCREASE the Judges salaries
In Delaware is only recognition OF
public servants who are doing a great
amount of hard work for the people,
at a salary which was sufficient twen-
ty-ive years ago, but which is now in

men who esteem the Judgeship the
crowning of a lawyers life and am

London, Jan. 21.--An adjourned con-
ference of leaders of British labor

lean labor delegates now in England
has reached an agreement to form a
nucleus for an International trades
union congress. A committee of five
will be appointed to represent British
labor at the new congress and to aid
IN organizing if. Mr.. Gompers will
confer with the new British committee
in the next few days to formulate
plans for the congress and select an
early date for the meeting in order
that the congress may meet simultan-
eously with the peace conferences

OF money to stir up trouble through
cut Asia according 10 reliable ad-
vices received here.
A great obstacle facing the rey0lu-

existence OF the army of the Omsk

integrate through lack of supper, and
encouragement, the Bolshevik plans
would very seriously threaten the
peace of Asia.
The most recent information reLeiv-
ed from British quarters shows that
EolsheYfsm is spreading in the Tx
ranes. The new Ukraine Grectora %,
with headquarters at Kiev. is a weak
organization without any decided
Jolicy. Its attitude toward he ,Eol-
Sheviki is most uncertain and there is
a current opinion here that the direc-
torate favors an agreement with ;he
BolsheVahi. Although General Pet

the Bolsheviki in Ele eastern Ukraine,
there are many Bolsheviki in his az
lay Meanwhile the Bolshevtki are
showing great activity in kiev anl
