LOWDEN'S APPEAL
CONTINUED from Page One)

times 1t was a commission, sometimes
it was board, sometimes an individ-
ual, but whatever form 1t took, it was
always an Independent body. OF late
years the commission has been the
most popular form and the reasons are
perfectly obvious because the commits
sion affords a number of very attrac-
tive places for gentlemen who carry a
county and are useful when conven-
tions come. A place upon a commits
sion, as the practice has grown up in
this country, Is desirable because it
does not interfere with the private
business of the gentlemen who hold
the office.
Abolished Seatwarmers
1--WE decided after survey of the
situation that the wisest thing to do
was just simply, by one act of the
legislature, to abolish all Of them. We
found that all the functions discharg-
ed by those various groups fell into
nine classes and SO instead of those
independent agencies we created nine
departments of government and to
each of those various boards or com
missions, an independent official was
assigned.
1.-THE result at once was a genuine
functioning Of government"
The governor laid particular stress
upon the department of finance
Among the departments that we
formed was one known as the depart
ment of finance. A director was plac
ed at the head of that, instead of a
board or commission. AS a matter
of fact, no board and no commission
ever did administer successfully
either in private or public life. A body
of men may be essential for legislat
i've or quasi-legislative work, or fol
judicial or quasi-iudicial work, but
when it comes to administration, 1t il
always the individuals, and not bodies
of men, who do things.
Nov, this department Of finance
therefore, had director of finance a.
it's head. He was given under the law
two sets of powers. In the first place
he was charged with the general sup
ervision of the finances of the state

business that is successfully conduct
ed, no matter how large it is, there Is
some one charged with the duty all of
the while of seeing that that business
lives within it's income, and that I'M
necessary expenses are checked.
U. s. Has No Check.
But in the government in this
country-and what l am saying now
applies to the federal government as
well as it does to the state govern
ments-as a rule, every department of
government is a spending department;
that is to say, it is charged with this
duty or the other, and it is not at all
responsible for raising the revenue for
that department 1t is human nature
for that official to eXaggerate the i'm
portance of his peculiar subdivision Of
government all the while.
There has been under our system of
government nobody whose duty it was
to check that tendency; in other words
to look upon the other side of the
balance sheet. That Is why we created
a department of finance, which was an
entirely new department in our state
government.
"The director of that department
must approve of all vouchers for pub
lie moneys before they are paid; he
must not only see that they come
within the terms of the appropriation
that is simple enough, but he also has
the power to criticise an expenditure
even though it comes within the ap
preparation, If he believes for any
reason it is not absolutely necessary.
Lowden declared that taxation play
ed an important part in the high cost
Of living. He said:
To-day, there is not a problem Of
reconstruction or readjustment which
is not properly related to this ques
ton Of taxation. Take the high cos
of living-the thing with which we
are all familiar, most of us sadly
familiar. While there are other more
important contributing causes per
laps, there isn't any doubt in the
world but that the present rate O.
taxation has a lot to do with that in
creased cost.
Nobody has had the genius to worl

End Of Road Praised; To
Be Sh0wn 2 More Times

Several hundred men and boys at
tended the government film, THE End
of the Road" which was shown for the
first time in this city at the high
school auditorium Tuesday night.
The film shows with fine tactful-
ness and excellent continuity the diff
ference in the lives of those that have
been taught the truths Of life when
they were children, and those that
have been kept ignorant by parents
with false modesty."
No more effectual instrument could
have been used by the government in
its drive against venereal diseases
than this seven-reel feature film. 1t
will be shown again Wednesday night
for men and boys, and Thursday
night for women and girls Parents
are urged to come and bring their chill

SO PER CENT TAX ON
MAR PROFITS Urged

WASHINGTON, April 28.-An IS
per cent tax on war profits is the
plan that the house Democrats and
insurgent Republicans, under the
leadership of Representative Johnson,
Of South Dakota, will insist be passed
as the method of raising the money
necessary to carry out the soldier bo-
nus program, now being formulated
by the ways and means committee.
Such measure was agreed upon by
Representative Henry r. Rainey, of
Illinois, and Mr.. Johnson today.

make one class of our citizens pay the
taxes alone. but in practice these
taxes are diffused throughout the COM

sumner buys; there is no question about
that. We all agree that the high cost

lated to that.
The whole future prosperity Of our
country is intimately related to this
question Of taxation. Not simply the
men who employ others, but the mer
who work with their hands. are equal

rapidly approaching the point where II
is destroying initiative in business"

"STAY-IN-SCHOOL" DRIVE
Begun in Delaware and Nineteen
Other States At One Time

Delaware is among twenty States
conducting stay-in-school campaigns,
in cooperation with the Children's Bu-
reau of the United States Depart
ment of Labor, according to state
campaign is to be followed in the fall
by back-to-school drive to round up
the children who fail to report at the
opening of school, since the influence
of vacation work in leading to perma-
nent withdrawal has been strikingly
shown.
An encouraging feature of the
campaign is that six of the States
taking part in it are among the ten
in which more than 20 per cent of
all the children between 10 and Is
years of age are regularly engaged
in agricultural work. Rural child la
Dor, which involves three-fOurths of
all the child workers in the country,
is the most difficult form of child
exploitation TO reach. 1t is subject to
no legal regulation except through
school attendance laws, and these are,
as a rule, inadequate and poorly en-
forced. In three of the six States
taking part in the stay-in-schOol cam
paign, the percentage of illiterates
over ten years Of age represents more
than one-fifth of the total population.
The other three States have illiteracy
rates considerably higher than the
country as a whole.
The nineteen other tSates carrying
On campaigns are Alabama, Arkan-
sas, California, Connecticut, Illinois,
Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Massachu-
sets, Minnesota, Mississippi, Mon
tana, Sevada, New Jersey, North Da-
kota, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas
and Wisconsin.

Quick action on the part Of the Rob

might have become a serious confia-
grafton one Monday morning recently
when fire was discovered in the base
ment of the Delaware State News
building on State street, Dover, Del
aware. The firemen were quick to re-
spond to the alarm and soon put the
blaze out. The morning was rather
cool and the janitor started a fire IN
the furnace. Considerable paper stor-
ed in the cellar and it is supposed that
the match which the janitor used IN
starting the FIRE, was thrown into q
pile of this paper. Some old news
paper files and a quantity of enve-
lopes were destroyed causing loss OF
about one hundred dollars.

THE PRINCIPAL QUESTION.

Governor Morrow in a speech
last week frankly stated that
"the principal question is to get
the Democrats out" The Gov
ernor could with truth gone a
step further and said it was the
only question.
The glorious achievements of
our armies in France can't be
a question because Democratic
Administration directed them.
The income tax can't be made
q question because the Democrat
ic party passed it to make the
rich pay a just part of the ex-
penses of the government and
the Republican party is afraid to
oppose it.
The peace of the world, to be
secured by the League of Ma
tons, can't be claimed by the
Republican party, and it has not
the courage to come squarely
out against it.
The Federal Reserve Act,
which the Republicans opposed
in Congress and which has pre-
vented a panic, can't be made
an issue because the Republicans
dare not oppose it.
The Farm Loan Act can't be
made an issue because it has Sc
cured fer the farmers of the

cause as uuder a Democratic ad-
ministration the dinner pail was

The Republican party can't
talk about low Wag s under the
Democratic Administration, as
wages are higher than they were
under Republican rule.
The Republican party can't
avoW that the manufacturers
need protection because they are
making more money under low

They can't complain that the
farmers are suffering from the
rule of democracy because they
have made more money under
the seven years of Wilson than
they ever made in twenty years
under Republican Administra-
tions.
They can't claim that money
is scarce, as the per capita is
greater than it ever was under
Republicans.
They dare not claim that the
Democrats were responsible for
going to war as as many Repub-
licans in Congress voted for it as
Democrats.

sidered wrong, because as many
