OUR BURDEN OF TAXATION.

During and since the Great War there
has heen no determined effort made TO
cut down the government payroll. On
the contrary, the tendency has been both
to swell the numbers of government em-
nloves and to raise their wages, for po-
Iitical effect, although ithea effect has
turned out to be the exact opposite oil
that planned by the politicians respon-
sible FOR the policy.
We have undertaken to build the
miQhtiest navy in the world, and with our
expenditures for Army and Navy added
to the other costs of running the govern
ment and added to the two billion dollars
a yc( above mentioned, interest on war
debtfand loss of revenue due TO prohl-
bition. it is safe estimate that we shall
have to bear a tax burden for some time
TO come of at least three billion dollars
This means about $50 year for every
man. woman and child III the United
States; and MS the number of persons In
the average family is five the new. tax
burden is about $3.50 a year per family.
The American spirit is laborlng under
its load. but it is not staggering or latter
ing. and it will not staggcr or talter, foI
the reason that the thing which we call
Americanism is a stabilizer OF success and
prosperity Of the great majority oil the

Audit All Public Accounts.

If the recent charge Of embczrlement
or defalcation in one Of tho New 'hst'e
county Court House offices will result N a
thorough and efficient audit Of the books
of the county and the State 1t will ehve
had some good fruits. There ie no thouph'
so far ms we have ascertsined that any
of the other officials are under susp'ciuh
Of misdirocting the county funds, but 'ne
public has the right 10 know that ,heii
accounts are straight and that no money
belon~inp TO the county or State has been
withheld.
An audit of ali accounts would vive tue
nubIic the assurance they have the rioht
90 demand. and Mt the same time wou'o
give clean bill of accounts 10 all o'h
officials. No one knows. perhaps, the
exact condition of the books OF the varl-
o,is departments of government, but the
public has the right to know, now that
the question has been raised, 80 that all
suspicion: IL any exists, may be set ut rest.
What the county and State need IS an
audit that audils The services oi an
outside expert accountant should be
employed, one who is not pait ot the

Cheer In. Turnip Greens Are Ripe.

Great gifts come upon us from inhhy
directions through the springlike weather
of the early winter, for Sussex and Kent
counties are rejoicing that turnip tops are
gnroutng month or more IN advance oi
thcir regular season, and soon they VIII
occupy a position in the center OF every
well-ordered dinner table, beside o heaplng
platter of smoking hog iowl. Those who
have discovered the flavor of the early
shoots set forth hy tho humble turnu,,
when blended with that of the savory
front section OF the fattened hcgy will IN
sist that nothing better could be con-
ceived by the mind of the moat expert
chef. and there are those among the count
less down-State devotees Of this tld-bit
who would contend that they had been

never are able 60 overcome the Ncarnipg

seouently the fame of the dish has been
established in every community where a
former Delawarean is living. To have
acquired the "hog's iowl and turn'p

winter and spring dish, just as mueh as

Accidents on the Increase.

One out Of every twenty-five accidents
IN the United States is fatal, according to
figures lust issued by the National Safety
Council. which show that IN 1919 the{e
were 575, 900 non-fatal, but serious ac-
cidents. which is a decrease Of 5000 IN
comparison with the total for 1918. In
the former year about $4,000 were killed
outright from accidental causes, 9.o26 OF
which deaths were attributable to auto
mobiles. This is an increase Of 274 over
the preceding twelve months from the
same cause.
II is lamentable, indeed, that the num-
Der of persons killed by automobiles has
increased until it has reached the APP
palling total Of more than 2S a day, not
Ia mention the countless mishaps that
do not result fatally Year by year the
death lists show the increasing need OF
more drastic laws, and their enforcement
TO protect human life against this IN
creasing peril. the greater part Of which
can be traced to reckless or irresponsible
driving often through yieldinr TO the de
sire to run at dangerously high speed
These accidents more often r~lt IN the
death or injury Of the passengers IN th'
badly driven car.
However. the menace is becoming s.
preat that the Federal government ma.
/ be called upon to cooperate IN the enact
Yaent and enforcement Of laws TO lesser

Pennsylvania is sharing the fate Of
other Middle and Eastern States in her
agricultural outlook, and her away-from-
the-country movement has reached start
ling proportions. Between 1910 and 1920
she lost II. 900 farms, even though in that
period the production of the land IN
creased 10 pei. cent, lowing to the APP
plication Of scientific principles Of agri-
culture. community cooperation, and
labor-saving machinery" we are told.
1t NAV seem odd that while Berks county
lost s64 farms in the decade. her neigh
Dor, Lancaster county, whose lands arc
little less fertile and productive, gained
AL. The other losses occurred in coun-
ties where the land was less productive
and distant from markets. The losses Of
farmers in Chester oo'snty were COM
