SLIDING DOWN PRIMROSE HILL.

A certain newspaper, not 'milliof
miles from nowhere featured on is
front page yesterday a news story
quoting Clara Burnside Of indianapolis
the only woman police captain in
America. as saying that womens
moral standards have declined. Fur
thcfmore. Captain Clara said;
Women have demanded equal
rights and privileges with men.
Although indications are that i'm
stead of men coming up To wom~
ems moral standards. women have
come down To mems. this il only
the inevitable swing Of the pen-
dulum TO extremes which occurs
before all great equalization. The
condition win not last long and
the future viii be better for it.
Captain Clara speaks with the
tongue Of a philosopher. she reasons
fairly well. But she has overlooked
one point. which to us seems rather
vital. Granting her premise that
women's moral standards have de-
clined. what of mems moral stand
ards9 Captain Clara's words would
incline us 10 believe that men had be-
come gilded lilies over night. while
women have overturned the toboggan
while sliding down Primrose Hill.
what OF il?
We believe that the learned lady
police captain would have been nearer
correct statement If she had said
that the moral standards of both men
and women had declined in recent
years. We certainly see no great diff
ference in morals in Delaware be-
tween men and women. II is true.
as kipling has it. that
"The sins that YOU do. two by two.
You shall pay for. one by one"
SO We would judge that the time has
not come in Indianapolis for men to
pay for their sins But the woman
pays--dvays. We cannot join with
that hoodlum crowd which is forever
blaming the women for all the trouble
and sin in the word. %. yes. Eve
did bite OF the apple first, but it was
because Adam was an arrant coward
an,i afraid to do it himself Frankly.
we think that the moral rectitude Of
both sexes has taken a short vaca-
tion--not just the feminine sex.

request Of the tax collectors for An in

ures 70 show that there are thousands
of wfmingtonians who are working

tion. and do not let us forget that
these collectors were elected by the
party that has told US how efficient

dollars OF uncollected taxes"
Rather, we would say that there are
thousands Of dollars Of uncoilected
taxes. II we are not mistaken, those
two tax collectors are members OF the
gentry al $40 King street who seem To
have a peculiar code all their own. So

Surely our correspondent did not
think that the gentry OF $40 King
street were going to administer the
ctiy's affairs as efficiently as a cor
.poration would be conducted. He
must know by this time that political
promises are one thing-and per-
formances something very different.
II would not be at all surprising if
an effort was not made by the Metz
schean thinkers in the Republican
ranks TO get a special act passed by
the Legislature. raising the salary Of
our poor. hard-worlled tax collectors
who are almost starving on their pit
tance Of $4,000 year. There is
many a family in Wilmington that
would be devoutly thankful for even

It's not the hard times comm that is

An fellow has to hustle if he wants
To keep his post
An the jobs a little harder than be-
fore:
It's the soft times that are goin that
we're sighin' for today,
For the easy-money contracts now
have up and blown away.
To land job was simple in the war
times that have passed,
And the profits flowed like water
everywhere,
And We sort o. got the notion that the
easy days would last,
But we're back to competition and
it's care
And we wall hard times are comm. but
the fact of 1t is this
It's the soft times that are goin' that
we sorrowfully miss.
Old prosperity has spoiled US, it has
pampered us too long,
We have made and spent at every
bend and turn;
For time we'd no occasion to give
battle and be strong

and earn;
Now we wall hard times nr comm

Cir: Shall we give that boost in
salary 10 the recently elected tax col
ieeturs7 Before we de- give them this
increase, let ne first compare this sal
airy with the wages Of the worker.
Fifst we win take the brieklayer. and
the wage he was getting last year. $40
per day Of eight hours: let us suppose
that he worked alI the working days
Of year. or aDa days, and let tis sup
pose he worked eight hours every one
of these days. His income AZ $40
per day would be 5000 Now does
the tax collector work 400 days out
of year. and doen he give eight honfs'
labor 20 his Job out Of each day.
Now my iden may not be clear to
the reader but let us go a little fur
ther; the worker is asked 10 volume
tarily take reduction IN his wage.
the hricklayer for instance, 2b cents
an hour or 81 per day. Now then his
wage for this year would be 400 days
at IS per day. or s2.47g: the differ
ence between the present salary Of
$4,000 and the brickisyer's wage Of
s2,472 is s52s.
Now let rs take the carpenters
wage Of 30 cents an hour or s7.21 a
day. The carpenters income for n
year of s0s working days would be
sg,ssa30 or difference uf sT75.20 be-
tween the present salary Of So 200 and
the carpenters income. We have
taken the wage Of two mechanics and
have compared il with this salary.
Now let us take the wage Of the com
mon laborer AT 80 cents per hour and
compare his income with that Of tax
collector. The income of a common
laborer at 35 cents per hour or $3.50
per day and 209 days would be but
sss5.20 or difference Of s2.134.so, and
at this figure the collectors are not
satisfied but are asking an increase
Of 81 900 more
Now the cry that is heard today is
that wages are too high; that is the
reason there is no building being done.
No, wages are not the cause, hut sala-
ries are the cause, for an increase in
salary means an increase In taxation.
and an increase in taxation means less
building. Therefore, in the opinion of
the writer the salary At present should.
after comparing II with the wage Of
the working man, be sufficient "a
maintain the collector in his position.
and do not let us forget the fact that
these collectors were elected by the
party that has told us how efficient
they were---and yet there are hum
drsds Of dollars Of uncollected taxes.
In the words Of President Harding. ]
believe in high rate Of wages on the
explicit condition that the wage Garner

Should this not he true Of salaries
just as well az wages? Let us have the

before we give Il boost.
