HIGH TAXES

WYE are beginning to realize in Delaware what high
~ taxes mean And when told by those who
are in the best position TO know that there is little or no
relief prospect for years to come IT certainly ADDS
nothing the JOY Of living But are so much better
on than the people OF England that by comparison we
are lightly taxed.
on top OF he British income tax six shilngs TO the
pound-about 30 per cenL-the county and municipal
taxes known as local have climbed to dizzy heights
in some cases real estate taxed high 30 cent
on the assessed valuation
Thousands OF real estate owners, unable to pay their
taxes have thrown up their hands to speak and the
government is quanday It's only recourse is to take
over the property-mostly the homes OF middle class
peope-and sell it for what It will bring the market
England is seehng with irritation and protest against
many amounts 10 con1scaory taxation, and

may soon =, face election in which lower taxation
will be the issue

Editorial Opinion
REDUCTION FIRST

(From the New York Tribune.)
The revenue measure, which Pres
ident Harding is said TO favor, pro-
poses TO raise approximately S3,075,-
600, 900. For the present fiscal year.
which ends June 80 next. Congress
appropriated s3.S00. 900. .0OO-$3, $751;
O0O, 900 to cover authorized expendi-
lures and the remainder to meet
deficits accumulated during the
money riot of the closing year OF the
Wilson administration.
A reduction OF 5000, 900, 900 in
revenue raised will redeem Repub-
lican platform pledges. II will sig
Nifty a cutting down of expenditures
such as the country has asked but
at times has feared II would not
wholly get. II will permit the lift
ing of many tax items, with few ad-
ditions. The President and General
Dawes are to be congratulated on the
results OF their economy campaign.
The prospect now held out is one cal
culated TO brighten eyes which are
scanning the future anxiously.
The governmental departments
never know what they can do in the
way OF economy Until NiAcg dit AoiAtu
to try. The assumption of all bu-
reaucracies is that it is impossible to
cut down. The only effective way 10
force the issue is TO diminish the
sums appropriated. Then it is found
that miracles occur.
1t is better to raise too little than
too much. Supplemental taxes. n
case Of shortage. can be levied. IT
is fair to ask the future to bear a
little heavier part of the public bur
den than il does. When the business
of the country gets going again i'm
posts that are now severe viii seem
light.
The extra session was chiefly called
to reduce taxation and the Presi-
dents common sense leadership
promises to have the happy effect OF
bringing Congress back TO its pri-
mary duty. Both economically and
politically a great mistake will be
made II the Presidents recommenda-
tons are not in the main followed.

Fear that the importation Of Flan-

dier dead in the United Stares would,
by quick spread Of growth, result in
damage to crops. has been dispelled
by Secretary of Agriculture Henry
c. Wallace. who has issued a state
ment at the request Of the American

Mr.. Wallace says the European
poppy occurs somewhat abundantly
as a weed in the grain fields of Eng
land, Belgium and France. II has
been grown in gardens throughout
the United States since a very early
day in the settlement OF the country.
having been one of the commonest
