Il.
Legislation.
@On account Of the several fatal
accidents with threshing engines, We
believe that there should be a dras-
tic inspection law for all such ma
chimes. A revision Of the tax avs
for raising revenue for school pur-
poses. II the education Of our chill
dren is to become a State duty, then
the state should bear at least nIH
per cent. Of the operating cost. Inc
great objection TO The present law IS
the high rate and the basis OF tax
alton. with this feature remedleo,
the law would need few, II any, FUR
ther the changes.
"A public Utilities Commission, for
Delaware, so that corporations 0per-
ating in the Stale can pot raise their
rates at Will without swing the peo-
pie a chance to be heard, should be
appointed.
"A general revision OF state Gov
ernment is necessary in order that TOE
State business may be conducted in a
more efficient and business-like man
ner We believe that the one hundred
on seven boards and commissions,
now conducting the States business
could well be consolidated into few
compact and efficient departments.
Again we emphasize the budget sys-
tenn for State and Nation.
"0ur efforts for temperance aad
Prohibition must not cqase with the
ratification Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. Our enforcement laws must he
enforced We believe that no mOdif-
cation Of the Loose law should be
tolerated and that every P Of H.
should be willing to give his or ner
hearty support and cooperation in
assisting to enforce the law.
Education.
"WhW We consider that the boys
and girls Of today will be the citi-
zens OF tomorrow, il bchOoves us 90
see that they are as well equipped
as may be to deal with the problems
that Will so Vitaily and intimately
affect them and their lives and for
which they must help TO find solu-
ti0ns.
The schools must lay the founda-
tion of their ability to Understand in
telligently, the gravest questions Of
civil government and finance that any
generation in TIE history Of our Re
public has Inherited.
At present educational matters In
Delaware are in such a confused con-
dltlon that no one can fOrtell the end.
A committee OF thirty-five, appointed
by the hOld-over members OF the
Senale, are attempting to formulate
a new set Of school laws that will
be satisfactory to all. This is an un-
dertaking to cOnfOund the wisest, and
we can only wish them success. 10
may be that they can evolve new
laws that will Offer the same advance
meni Of standards that the present
/ laws offer, at small increase over the
cost OF the abandoned system OF past
years But at any cost. If the new
laws submitted demand the same high
degree OF efficiency in the teaching
staff the present laws demand. so that
our children may have the education
al advantages that are their due, we
should heartily support them.
Now brothers and sisters. / have
endeavOred to lay before your con-
| sideratiOns as see them and ! trIfst
/ you Will act carefully and wisely for
the benefit Of present and future gen
eratiOns."
