No POLITICS
OF CITY rule
Josiah Marvel Pleads for
Non-Partisan Govern
ment for Wilmington
KIWANIS CLUB FOR
PROPOSED CHARTER

In his address TO the Kiwanis Club,
at its luncheon yesterday afternoon,
which resulted In the club unani-
mously endorsing the proposed city
charter drafted by the Bi-Partisan
Committee. Josiah Marvel criticised
what he termed interference Of poll
ticians OF any party in management
Of municipal affairs.
Il am for the new charter" said
Mr.. Marvel "and I believe the peo-
ple Of Wilmington should take the
same stand. The business Of this
community should be carried on
free from partisan politics II the
city Is TO become a success. And
the politicians know the truth of
this.
Senator Ball" continued Mr..
Marvel, was man enough 10 say
that he opposes the charter. and
comes out openly and gives his rea-
sons why. His grounds are that he
thinks partisan politics are better
than non-partisan politics. Senator
BAH spoke for himself. however
and not for the Republican party.
My attitude Is that whether Re-
HNbNtdN or democrat anyone op-
posed TO the charter should state
their reasons. A city is either po-
litical or not political. say thai
Wilmington should be kept out OF
politics. and IL was toward this enc
that the city charter bill was de-
yised
This bill should be approved anS
be made a law. and men selected Z,
govern the city. These men shoul,
not be chosen because OF their poll
tical views. but should be chasen ac
cording TO their experience and eff
cheney in handling civic affairs.
MANY measures for this sort o
"a management have been brough
10 the attention Of the people. bu
none better than the measure sug
gested by the Bipartisan Commit
tee has been drawn up. We shOul'
approve Of Il and use our efforts Il
have the bill become a law"
Copies OF the resolutions adopte
by the club. will be sent 10 the pre-
siding officers OF the General As
sembly. at Dover. and 10 members O

While business in the United

basis within the next three or four
months. the general price level will
not be quite as low as It was in 1914.

ion OF several speakers at a meet

L. r. Good OF the purchasing de-
partment Of the Hercules Steel
Company emphasized that there
is at the present time no real factor
10 keep the prices Of steel up 20 its
present level, and expressed the
opinion that Il would soon drop 10
a level which would not only be
somewhat permanent, but would
also be low enough TO encourage the
trade. which has been at stand
stiu. due TO a tendency OF manu-
facturers TO hold on
c. T. Bridgham, OF the New Cas-
tie Leather Company. gave a brief
review Of the present leather con-
ditions.
The high cost OF shoes. he
asserted, was not due 10 the
/ high cost OF leather during the war
1t was. in fact. caused by the great
demand upon the part Of the people
for expensive shoes.
The present reduction in the price
Of shoes was caused by the hoodini

States in 1929. Mr. Bridgham de
clared. The present supply will las
about five months, he said, and M
new supply of raw material Is avail

This. in his opinion, would cause tn
price Of shoes TO stop dropping, AM
predicted that shoes in the near fu
ture will be selling cheap at SO I
pair. other shoes can be purchased
, he said. at lower prices, but reall
serviceable shoe will be quoted a

The business situation IN genera
was discussed by +. Leslie Hayforc

stated that the peak OF price
in general was in April, 1920. whe
the average prices were l72 pc

Since then the quotations hav
