in favor Of the school law and that w
give it our undivided support.
Temperance.
THE Order Of p. Of II. has Away
stood for temperance and we must no
relax on the eve Of victory. We mus
watch and work or oil gained will b
lost. Therefore, I recommend that thi
state grange give TO the Temperance
cause, cur unanimous support at tm
coming election in 1920 and also as thl
next session Of the legislature in 1921
Legislation.
During the reconstruction period II
is more necessary than ever that we
keep close on the heels OF new bills
both in Washington and Dover. Our
office in Washington Is always ready
TO give and take advice on all matters.
| earnestly request and urge that all
members use postage stamps on our
representatives in Congress. The Ma
ti0nal Grange declared itself In favor OF
the League of Nations, and | believe
we should do the same. Let us do all
we can to have the eighteenth amend
ment ratified at the next legislature.
We must also secure the passage Of a
law regulating traffic on orr new con-
crete roads, which shall demand the
pneumatic tire as a working start in
stead Of the tonnage which would be
almost impossible TO regulate.
Down with all Bolshevik move
monts. He should also favor honest
journalism.
believing that the budget system
is the only system with which TO run
public business, I recommend that this
grange declare itself in favor Of the
budget system in county, state and
nation.
Transportation.
I'VE have always had this work be-
fore us and we have not ACCOMPLISHED
much. Our solution is that we sup
port all public improvements in water
ways and public roads in both state
and nation.
Cooperation.
We are again face to face with this
great problem, and we are no nearer
solving it. The National Grange has
appointed committee on this subject
to meet in early winter in washington
and see what can be done. The Now
York Stale Grange has accomplished a
great deal in this line. both in buying
and selling, and I recommend that our
secretary get in communication with
the New York State Grange and keep
himself Informed on prices Of seeds.
feeds and other commodities which
they handle and which we have 10 buy.
Taxation.
There is certainly room FOR i'm
provement in this part OF our state
government. All property should bear
Us snare OF tax but we are paying too
much to get our taxes collected. What
we believe we need is a State law 70,
assessing and collecting. with tina
county as unit. / recommend that
ihe State Grange instruct its legisla-
i've committee to work for this system.
Good OF the Order.
On account Of scarcity OF labor. we
have not been able 10 do any extern
;ive grange work but Delaware must
wake up or we viii be lost In the race.
therefore, l recommend that this
grange authorize the executive CONF
nittee TO secure a competent deputy
md keep him at work during January,
February and March, 1920.
IN MemOrium.
This we will leave entirely with our
worthy chaplain.
IN Conclusion.
Each and every one get into the har-
less anew for 1920, to make Delaware
axe the place 1t deserves IN grange
history. Fraternally submitted.
