the local option taxes; not long after
the tax commissioner was put at the
head of partial system of eQualiza
ton. Now it is proposed TO make
the tax commissioner the supervisor
Of the collection of delinquent taxes
through which the towns now lose
scores OF thousands annually. These
are only few Of the additional bur-
dens put on the tax commissioner.
The wonder is that the increase of
expense to maintain the Office OF tax
commissioner is not greater. The
situation is the same in practically
every branch OF the state government
and is one great cause OF the in
crease of state expenses. Another
cause is that the heads of the various
departments and sub-departments
are often trying to increase the serv-
ice they render and improvement al.
ways costs more A competent legis.
lative committee might do useful
job by going over the various depart
ments and listing the work done
which might be dispensed with Such
a committee would not find any
stealing but 1t would find lot OF
work done from which little return
comes. Perhaps the worst offenders
OF all are the courts, particularly
the county and municipal courts Al
least third of the money spent il
these courts yields mighty little pro
duct in return.

NEWARK JOINS
DEL-MAR LEAGUE
Personnel of Baseball Team
Insures First Class
Sport

Newark, represented by the Con-
tinental Baseball Club, has Joined
Wildel, New Castle, Pennsy and
Elkton in a new Del-Mar League
which will open the season May 10.
This is the first league formed
since 1915 when New Castle won
the championship after one of the
snappiest seasons that the fans had
seen in years.
This years league gives promise
of being equally good, according
to facts brought out at an informal
meeting held at The Evening
Journal office, Wilmington, last
Tuesday night. Five of the six re-
quired teams sent delegates and it
is likely that Harlan will join
later. The five teams represented
assured the temporary organlza-
ton that they would play.
The league will play a "a game
schedule. Teams will be limited to
Is players and playing guarantee
will be agreed on. There will be
no salary limit, and unlike the
original Del-Mar League, the teams
of this years organization will not
be confined to territorial limits
from which to pick it's players.
The local team will be very much
. stronger than in former years and
it will necessarily have to be much
stronger in order to compete with
the other Clubs in the League.
Ewing, Newark boy has been
working out and is in good shape
and he will no doubt be assigned
to the pitching job. "Gray" Garter
of Delaware College will no doubt
do the catching and these two will
make up one Of the best batteries
in the League. Ramsay, the local
high school pitcher is in excellent
shape and will be ready to take his
turn in the box.
The outfeld with Morris, Hal
and Roberts is equal to any in the
League. "Nim" Gray will be seen
at short with Middleton at Bird ano
Loyett will probably cover 1st with
Tasker or Mclaughlin at End.
Newark will be represented by
the strongest club since the ole
Del-Mar League and in order tt
keep a winning team on the fielo
= will ha necessary for the fans tt
be loyal throughout the season. IL
the past few seasons the supper
has not been adequate. The per
sonnet of the team and the quality
of ball they will undoubtedly pu
ND should insure cooperation this
season.

on Monday in a very interesting
game of baseball, the final score
being 14-3.
The visitors put the game on ice
in the first inning scoring six runs.
After this they took things easy.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Ramsay who turned IA

and allowed but four hits. A large
body of rooters accompanied the

WASHINGTON.-For month
past, the office of the assistant to
the secretary of war, in charge of
soldier unemployment, has been re-
ceiving many letters from ex-service
men ali over the country inQuiring
about reconstruction Jobs in France
at large wages In some way or
other the re port has been spread
widely that there are unlimited on
portunities of this character, which
is very far from the truth.
In Il bulletin, Lieutenant Colonel
Mathew c. Smith, executive head of
the Washington bureau, says.
Firms which have reconstruc-
tion contracts for France have been
circularized by this office, and they
state that they are rot employing
any labor there as yet The super
rising heads for such projected re-
construction are technical men al
ready connected with their office
personnel.
There are very few jobs Of any
kind for American soldiers in
France at this time, and the state
ment that contractors are now Of
fering good pay to all ex-service men
who will sign up is without founda-
tion. The report that the French
government wishes to hire former
soldiers from the United States Is
also incorrect"
The number of discharged enlist
ed men seeking information about
Jobs in France clearly shows that
the eX-doughboy, now that he has
been home for a little while, seems
quite willing to take another trip
overseas. However, the best oppor-
tunities are in America.

TEACHERS PAY
SHOWS INCREASE

There are seventy-one one-room
schools in Jackson county. The ay-
erage monthly salary paid the teach
ers in these schools this year is
$S1.5S, this being an increase of 2S "
per cent over the monthly wage paid
such teachers last year About 40
per cent or twenty-eight of our rural
schools to be exact, are paying $75,
the minimum wage permitted by
law
There are also seventy-one teach
ers in the elementary grades of our
two or more room schools who re-
ceive an average wage of $92.S7 per
month. The average monthly salary
of our forty-three high school teach
ers is $112.54 The salary paid our
fifteen principals is $151.15, while
city superintendent average $3.50
month.
Female teachers are paid $92.1S a
month This is an increase Of 1873
per cent over that paid last year
The average salary paid mail teach
ers is s12763, or only per cent
more than last year.
These figures seem to show con-
clusively that one of the main rea-
sons why salaries of rural teachers
were raised as due to the estab-
lishment of the minimum salary law,
for the rural teachers were the ones
receiving the greatest increase. How
ever in some rural communities sal
aries have always been a little high
er than in the town schools. These
conditions prevail only in those dis
tricts having a high valuation and
where the people demand just as
good instruction as the children in
the towns receive.
