IMMEDIATE TARIFF DUTIES.

Some fun has been poked at Con-
gresham Longworth's proposal TO
make the duties which shall be i'm
posed by the permanent tariff bill ef-
Eecuve as soon as the bill is reported
from the Ways and Means Committee.
The joke is on the jokers. Mr.. Long
worth, far from springins a new and
santastic idea, is merely proposing
hat we follow the practice of the
r.ost businesslike legislative body in

mons. Ii has long been the custom
At Westminster to make taxes ap-
.,licable from the day on which the
,udset bill is introduced.
II is a sound procedure, and the
Congressman from Ohio is not the first

protect the Government by putting a
stol. to the withdrawal of great guam
titles of merchandise from bond Jusl

A SUGGESTIVE CONTRAST.

A reference in the Looking Bach
Twenty Years" department of our Sun
day contemporary, in it's latest issue
is quite interesting and very peril
nently suggestive. 1t was as follows:
's3z20 premium was offered by the
highest bidder or $4,000 worth of WI

man James Kane of the finance COM
mittee said this was the highest pre-
mium ever offered for this city's
bonds"
This bond issue carried interest AT

in two installments-s15,0 900 in May
1926, and $4,000 in May, 1927. Yet

astounding in these days. considered
as financial transaction of such a
character in our community. But it
was a fact, nevertheless.
Also, this gratifying evidence of the
high financial credit of the city of
Wilmington in years past was revealed
during a Democratic city administra-
ton. Chairman James Kane of the

NOW TO DEAL WITH WHITE.

Every Evening firmly believes the
best interests Of the city--its wei
fare in the future-would be well
served by the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket at the city election next
SATURDAY. Not because 1t is the
Democratic ticket--that is the fault
OF our present partisan election sys-
tem--but because it stands out
boldly and unmistakably. as the rep-
rcsen,ative OF a cause. which, when
finally successful as 1T is bound to
be. will mean complete severance OF
our city elections and city admins
trations from the deInoralizing grasp
of partisan politics and place both
az the complete determination of the
citizens.
In furtherance Of this righteous
cause, therefore. we believe bur
people should elect the Democratic
ticket and especially should they
resolve 10 make certain of the defeat
Of one candidate on the Republican
organization city ticket-Samuel j.
White for city treasurer. Not that
Mr.. White is not capable of perform
ing the duties OF the office--aithough
in this respect his Democratic COM
petitor, J. Merrick Horn, is beyond
critscism-but because he most con-
spicuously and most Extensively rep
resents those partisan elements of
the Republican party organization
which defeated charter reform at the,
recent session Of the Legislature
Mr.. White, as Representative in the
General Assembly from the Fifth
district Of Wilmington. voted against
the charter measure submitted by
the Citizens Committee.
The Republican party organization
which SO insolently defied the wishes
Of a majority OF our citizens in this
important charter matter has had
the temerity TO nominate its own
haDd-picked ticket for city and
wards at the coming election, and as
though to deliberately insult the
friends of charter reform, selected
Representative White as its candi-
date for city treasurer, an especially
revolving and defiant challenge.
We believe this entire city organi- |
cation ticket should be defeated. be-
cause il stands for a retroactive VIII

gressive municipality. To many Re
publicans who insist upon supporting |
their party tickets it VIII no doubt be
nauseous TO support this partisan ag-
sregstion. But even If they can |
look upon the major part of it with |
any degree of complacency they
should gag at White and eliminate |
his name from their ballots. In this |
way they may emphasize their right |

ods of the public health system. They
came here upon the invitation of the
International Health Beard tRockefel-

in New York City, Washington. Bal

The commission sent by the gov

formed scientists on the subject OF
public health that could be secured In

1t was carefully worked out pro-
gram which brought the commission
in touch with the important features
of Public Health work In the United
States. They visited the principal Of
Iiecs. departments, institutions, sana-
toriuIns. laboratories and hospitals and
especial attention was paid the system
of propaganda and professional edu-
cation in the work.
In their final reports the physicians
expressed their heartiest apprecia-
ton OF the hospitality extended them
and OF the fattering interest shown
n their work. They express their
great surprise that the development
3f the Public Health organizations was
seyond their expections. They very
particularly commended the extent OF
the laboratories, which number they
said made perfect net work of the
country and euloRized the efficiency

they saw and which impressed them

every probability that very soon there
will be cooperation by which endow-

appropriations in establishing thor

general plan of the International
Health Board is To secure the instruc-
ton OF and give opportunity for study
TO the young physicians Of this coun-
try pledging them to return here and
head up the various centers in which
they have specialized In study. The
physicians interested find study in the
