MOVES TO REPEAL
INCOME TAX LAW
Senator Gormley Introduces Bill,
Claiming State Does Not
Need the Money.
Special Dispatch From Every Evening $
Washington Correspondent

State House, Dover, March 23.-I In the
Senate, today, Mr. Gormley introduced a
bill to repeal the State Income Tax Law.
He gave as reason that the State trea-
sury. which is more flush than ever be-
fore, does not need the money. Therefore,
whatever tax in that behalf is paid ought
to be for the local communities. Such an
arrangement, he said, would enable
Wilmington 10 pay its police and teachers
better salaries. and would relieve the
burden on the real estate owner and
renter.
A TILT OVER BUSINESS.
There was a tilt in the Senate soon
after il convened. Senator GOrmley pre-
sented bill for first reading. Senator
Palmer suggested that as an act OF cour-
tesv no business be considered previous
TO receiving Governor Townsends mes
sage.
Senator Gormley said he meant no dis
respect TO the governor. His purpose was
to expedite business.
Although the Republican Legislators
contemplate introducing many bills, Sena-
tor Alice took seemingly hypocntlcal
attitude, saying the Democratic minority
evidently wanted TO introduce miscel-
laneous business and prolong the special
session 80. 60 or 90 days at the expense OF
the State.
Senator Robertson interposed with a
motion To defer business until the govern
or 5 message was received.
Senator Gormley, replying TO Senator
Alice, said the Republican majority must
remember that the Legislature had been
called in session to transact business
Although the bill presented came from
the minority side, it must be remembered
by the majority that so long as busines:
is considered the minority has as mucf
right to present bills as the majority
Senators Alice and Robertson said th'
minority had such right, but held that I
certain amount of respect was due tn
governor.
Senator Palmer said he raised the poin
on the ground of respect and added tina
he would insist that the minority receiy
fair treatment.
Senator Gormley said the bill he pre-
sented was in harmony with specia

today.
Undersecretary Davis said he doubted
II a complete stenographic report Of the
sessions Of the peace conference existed
anywhere, as It would be next to impos-
sible to set down what so many people,
talking constantly for months, said in
detail.
The records as made, he said, are
doubtless in the keeping OF the secretary
general, and not In the United States.

grounds will be devoted to charity we
are opposed to the manner in which
the money was obtained. Aside from
the fact that some of the cowgirls sus-
tanned severe injuries in the roundup
the show savored Of cruelty-the
lassoing and branding of steers, for
instance. On the western ranches
roundups and branding is necessary,
but this is no reason why cattle should
be roped, thrown and branded with
redhot irons merely to satisfy the
curiosity of people VINO look upon
such cruelty as amusement features.
In number of states such shows are
not permitted and we would like to
see Minnesota included in the list.
There are many ways of obtaining
funds for charitable purposes other
than resorting to cruel practices such
as those referred to in this article.

Harvey's Weekly: The flying of Il

Harvey's Weekly: The flying Of the
French flag on the white house on Bas-
tile day was graceful and worthy
performance. It is said to have been
the first time that any foreign flag
was ever displayed on that building
which, if true, indicates that we have
been less generous than some other ma
tons. Thus the British sovereign has
repeatedly displayed the Stars and
Stripes on Buckingham palace The
chief objection to the practice is that
it might at some time be embarrassing
to determine just where to draw the
line between flags that should and
flags that should not be displayed. If
the flag Of one foreign nation is thus
honored every other friendly nation
has theoretically a right to expect
similar treatments, which would mean
that some foreign flag would be flying
over the white house a good part of
the timeat least once week the
year round. There is obviously need
of .mingling Of discretion with our
courtesies.

Considering Ohio republican nation

historical fact is that they
are always elected. They are expected
to carry their state and do so, Ohio
having an intense state pride and
loyalty to her worthy sons. The sec

mon is that they are equal to their
responsibilities. Ohio presidents have
always measured up to their tasks and
stand high in the list of national ex-
ecutives. If there is any sense of dis
appointment with the convention out
come and any doubt in any mind as
to the wisdom and expediency Of it's
choice it will disappear as the cam

So Sir Thomas Upton has again lost
in the yacht race for Americas cup,
but has the consolation of knowing
that he came nearer being the winner
than in any previous contest. He took
his defeat, as usual, with good grace
and expects to build another Sham
rock and enter the race again next
year. Sir Thomas motto seems to be
''Try, try again." and he never seems
to tire Of trying. This shows that he
is a genuine sportsman, and so gen
eral is the admiration for him in this
country that there would have been
no great disappointment had he sue
ceeded in his great ambition.
