diana district are keenly interested in
the pending revenue measure.
The history of tariff legislation in
congress since the days of the Mills
bill show that nine months has been
the maximum period for the prepare
ton, enactment and putting into oper-
alton of a tariff bill. The average has
been about five months.
To Rewrite Both
With two difficult measures before
it the finance committee of the SEN
ate has decided to rewrite both of
them. 1t is also the opinion of that
committee that the public interest will
best be served by acting first upon the
revenue bill although the house passed
the tariff bill before it took up the
revenue measure. The committee ex-
poets to have the revenue bill ready
for submission to the senate when
congress reconvenes Sept 21
The finance committee having ap-
proved of the American valuation plan
provided in the house tariff bill came
to the conclusion that sufficient in
formation was not at hand upon which
to determine proper and adequate
rates of duty on that basis.
The finance committee was of the
opinion that if tariff legislation was
to be so radically changed in respect
TO valuation basis, in order to protect
American industries in existing econ
| omic conditions throughout the world,
American valuations should be de-
finitely known and not left to mere
conjecture.
Gathering Data
Treasury agents are now gathering
this data and will be engaged in that
work for six weeks or two months,
the treasury department reports.
/ When this information is compiled the
rates of duty can be determined in
! diligently.
| Republican members of the senate
finance committee are confident that
there will be no general protest over
the decision to give the revenue bill
the right of way in the senate over the
tariff measure. The committee, il is
said, has been swamped with appeals
from business men, from coast tC
coast, to provide for tax revision
ABOVE everything else. Inc plan &c
! sidetrack the tariff in the senate fol
the revenue bill, it might be men
toned, was first sponsored by Senator
! Watson of Indiana. The adoption o.
his proposal was forecast by the Pal
ladium Bureau several weeks ago.
/ 1t is said that after the revenue bill
is returned to the house it will scarce
ly be recognized by that body as i
is to be entirely rewritten by the sen
ate finance committee. In the house
the revenue bill was framed as
series of amendments to existing law
Chairman Penrose of the finance com
mittee says his committee will repor
a bill that will contain all tax laws il

sirable and re-enacting where NJ
change is made

LOCAL TALENT PLAYS
Prominent PART IN
CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM

Viewed in retrospect, several OF the
most charming musical features of
the 1921 chautauQua were products OF
local talent
Programs by the Richmond City
band and the American Legion band
given on two evenings of the two
weeks of sessions, were as enjoyable
as the attractions brought to the city
Dr. Russell H. Bready, platform
manager, in his closing talk, declared
that Richmond was to be congratu
lated upon having two such splendid
bands. The American Legion band
gave its concert on the first Saturday
evening of the assembly
The veterans were handicapped by
the fact that they did not appear or
the stage and their music was no
heard in the chautauqua tent. Score:
heard them play in the grove, how
ever, and their concert was much ap
preciated.
City Concert Appreciated
The city band gave its concert prio
to the concert by the Hadley Concer
company Sunday night Warm ap
plause greeted each number. Severa
of the most difficult selections wer
rendered by the local musicians il
| polished form.
Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Smith and MI
and Mrs. Hugh Foss were other loca
musicians whose efforts were greatl
| appreciated While Mr. and Mrs
Smith have not entirely made thei
home in this city, they are welcome
as local products because of MI
| Smiths connections locally. Thei
program was presented the last Frida
night of the session.
| Children Do Good Work
! Mrs. Frank Tillson is to be compl
mented upon her work with the chi
! dren of the chautauqua. Through he
efforts about 70 children presented
varied program on the last Saturda
afternoon. Musical numbers and il
! terpretive dances by the children wer
executed with an aptness indicativ
of careful training.
Chautauqua, officers and director
who worked so earnestly for week
before the assembly opened in orde
to insure the best for its patrons, al

WHOLESALERS TRY
FOR STATE TRADE

The wholesale section of the Cham
Der of Commerce, at a special meet.
ing in the chamber offices, Tuesday af-
ternoon decided to launch immediate
ly an extensive advertising campaign
throughout the Peninsula. This will
be one feature of the drive to bring the
Peninsula merchants into closer re-
lationship with the big wholesale cen
tres of Wilmington.
The success of the campaign seems
fOreshadowed by the unusual re-
sponse to the requestt for funds to
finance it. Several thousand dollars
have been collected and the finance
committee reported an additional list
of subscriptions amounting to $1,000.
There are over 5000 storekeepers
on the Maryland-Delaware Peninsula.
Practically all are within easy reach
of the Wilmington markets. 1t is plan
ned to interest them in what this city
has to offer, through the medium of
carefully prepared literature which
will be sent out shortly.
At the meeting it was also decided
to engage three booths for advertising
purposes at the Delaware State Fair,
which will be held in September.

MURPHY'S FRIENDS
BACK HIM FOR JOB

The discussion over who shall be
the Democratic National Committee
man, to fill the vacancy caused by the
retirement of Senator Wolcott, con-
tinues to be the one big topic among
Democrats of Delaware. Now that the
Republicans have gotten their Sena-
tOrial wrangle adjusted, the Demo-
Gratis are confronted with a problem
of their own in the filling of the COM
mitteemanship.
Senator Charles D. Murphy, who led
the fight against the confirmation of
Senator WOlcOtt, among the Demo-
Gratis in the Senate, will be nominated
for the position if he will permit his
friends to do so. He, with Judge Will
liam H. BOyce, are said to be the two
men favored by the Salisbury people.
Either one would be acceptable to that
wing of the party.
There are Democrats who say they
would place his name in nomination
if that was necessary and would
work for his success. Aside from the
boom for Andrew c. Gray for the COM
the Murphy campaign
to be the outstanding one, as
far as strength goes, at this time.

MAY DISCONTINUE LIFE
STATION AT REHOBOTH

Proposed discOntinuance of the life
saving station at Rehoboth Beach has
evoked a vigorous protest from the
summer residents, who declare remov-
al of the life guards would leave nu-
merous bathers without proper protec-
tiOn. Retention of the guards is also
desired because they could render as
sistance should fire threaten the re-
sort.
RehobOth Beach has a well equipped
lifesaving station, manned by a keep
er and crew of seven men, but it has
no fire company or fire fighting ap-
paratus.
The Secretary of the Treasury, for
the purpose of curtailing Federal ex-
penses, has ordered a reduction in the
number of lifesaving stations along
the Atlantic coast, and the superin-
tendent of the division embracing Del
aware, Maryland and Virginia has
recommended discontinuance of the
Cape HenlOpen and RehOboth Beach
stations and retention of the Lewes,
Indian River and Bethany Beach sta
tions.
Representative T. w. Turner. a
former life guard, has written to the
Secretary of the Treasury, advising
the discontinuance of the Indian Riv-
er station, instead of the Rehoboth
Beach station. Mr.. Turner thinks a
station is needed less at Indian River
than Rehoboth Beach. United States
Senators Ball and du Pont, Congress
man Layton, Governor Denney and
other influential Delawareans will re-
quest retention of the Rehoboth Beach
station.

2 DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES
One WILL REVISE RULES AND OTHER
ARRANGE CAMPAIGN MATTERS.

Appointment of two important COM
mittees, one on the revision of the
party rules and the second on cam
paign, was announced by State Chair
man Henry r. Isaacs, of the Demo-
cractic State Committee, Tuesday,
The committee on the revision OF
the rules consist of Peter J. Ford, f.
DeHaVen JanVier, James ii. Hughes,
Henry A. Houston, Andrew J. Lynch,
willard F. Deputy, Mrs. Charles B.
Evans, Mrs. Henry Ridgely and Miss
Katherine Robinson.
The campaign committee, which is
to seek funds for the establishment
of permanent headquarters in Will
mingtOn, has also been decided upon
by Chairman Isaacs. The personnel
will include the three county chair
men, Eben B. Frazer, New Castle;
James H. Hughes, Kent, and Andrew
J. Lynch, Sussex, with City Chair
man T. ]. Mooney, and these will Sc
lect fifth man for chairman. 1t is
likely that the fifth man will be a Will
mingtOnian.
Under the plan as devised by the
Democratic leaders, a fund of $6,-
900 will be sought to defray the ex-
pense of an organization secretary
and the expenses of headquarters.
The budget which will be sought has
been apportioned as follows: Will
mington, $2,5OO; New Castle county,
$1,500; Kent and Sussex counties,
81, 900 each.
This campaign committee is to get
busy at once and the hope is that
by the time the State committee meets
at Rehoboth the latter part of August,
that it will be ready to make a report.
The committee on rules revision
will confer with the State committee
and will present it's recommendations
to the next State convention, which
will be in August or September, 1922.
The rules have been pretty well read
justed to meet conditions since the
granting of the franchise to women,
but in order to make a good job of it,
Chairman Isaacs believes that it could
best be handled by committee.
