WHO HAS THE MONEY?

A certain Y. c. Mansfield appears to be direc-
tor of the Washington state organization of the
Nonpartisan league, with headquarters at Spokane.
In the Spokane Chronicle Mr.. Mansfield is quoted
as saying that while the defeat Of the. administra-
ton candidates in North Dakota would make the
work Of organization in Washington more difficult,
that work would be continued and prosecuted Wig
orously. In this connection Mr.. Mansfield has an
ingenious explanation Of the defeat of his faction in
North Dakota. He says:
Many farmers in NorthSDakota re-
ceived more money from the independents
of that state for voting against Governor
Frazier and the league candidates than
they have made from wheat crops in the
last five years.
This is interesting information. 1t is real news
to most OF us. 1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Mans
field was not a little more specific. Ii he knows
that his statement is correct he knows of other
facts which are essential to the public enlighten-
ment and which be ought to supply.
Bribery is not an irnpersonal thing that com
mits itself. 1t is a crime committed by a particular
individual, to which some other individual con
tributes by the sale of his vote. 1t is impossible
for one to know that bribery was: committed with
out knowing who committed it. He may guess,
or suspect, but he cannot know of the fact without
knowing something about the Individual.
Who in North Dakota paid money for votes ?
1t would be interesting to know that. and it would
be useful, because that knowledge would result in
sending some scoundrel or scoundrels to prison.
And, aside from any legal proceedings, it would in
terest the public to know who has received that
money. Will Mr.. Mansfield please explain?

EARLY RUN DELAWARE SHAD
STARTED OFF BOMBAY HOOK
FISHERMEN JOIN THE COLONY
AT BAYSIDE ON JERSEY SHORE
Expect Fish to Be Running in Num-
bers by End of This Week-Individ-
ual Crews Make Few Hauls Shad

Shad are appearing in Smyrna mar
ket but they are from Chesapeake wa
ters. The warm weather has brought
both shad, perch and herring in mar
ket but when it comes to shad many
prefer to wait until the Delaware
variety appears as it seems better
tasted and more toothsome. The ear
ly run of shad has started in the Della
ware river and bay and fishermen
who have already wet their nets for
small catches expect that the fish will
soon be running in such numbers that
shipments can be started to the city
markets. Fishermen had long been
predicting an early run of shad this
year, although few of them expected
to be fishing for the markets before
Easter. Most of the fishing so far
has been done by individual crews of
two men to boat. Only two or three
shad have been caught at a haul. The
present week is expected to bring a
number of crews to the fishing colony
at Bayside off Bombay Hook to re-
Aitcslll 1OI Illc IGSI VI lIlc SSdSOus L lie
big nets will not be wet until the cap
tains of the shad-fshing crews are
sure that the fish have started to run
in fairly large numbers. A number of
the gill-net fishermen are now making
daily drifts. A single roe shad is
now worth as high as 81 or more, the
retail price fthe fish being go to &C
cents pound. While shad-ishirg
has been more discouraging each sue
cessive year during the last decade by
reason of the decreased catches, this
year is expected to see more crews anC
nets out on the water than for severa
years past, due principally to the fac
that many former industrial workers
living along the Delaware and Jersey
shores are idle this spring.

SENATE PASSES SCHOOL BILL.
But AS Substitute Bill Did Not Orig
mate in House, Latter Body Re-
fuses to Consider It-NO Law Yet

fuses TO CONSIDER It-N0 Law / ct
Although passed by the Senate in
record time and with vote of 16 to l,
a new school bill, substituted by SEN
ator Alice for Senator Palmer's skel-
eton bill for repeating the present
school law, was refused consideration
by the House Monday, because the bill
contains tax features which, accord
ing to constitutional provisions, must
originate in the House when the bill
was rejected, that if the House had
concurred in the measure, a school
law would result concerning whose
constitutionality, grave doubts and OBJ
jections which could only be deter
mined by the courts, would immediate
ly arise. Consequently, it was stated,
the House must act in the manner de-
manded by the public interests. Sen
atOr Palmer was the only opponent of
the measure lin the Senate vote. The
provisions of the Senate bill were
practically identical with the Clark
bill, defeated in the House last week
excepting the tax provisions. The
corporation tax of three per cent had
been eliminated. The personal in
come tax rate and the % cents tax on
real estate remained unchanged. In
the corporation tax provision, foreign
corporations had been excluded from
the tax. The bill carried four per
cent rate instead of the three per
cent rate in the defeated bill based
on the net profits of business done by
Delaware corporations in the State.
A provision of the bill allowed corpor-
ations not caring to enter into the
question of ALLEGATION of income and
in doing business in and out of the
State,to pay tax on its total income.
Corporations not desiring to pay the
income tax according to this bill
would be allowed in its place to pay
tax of 25 cents on the hundred dol
lars on the actual value of capital val;
ue of capital stock invested in Della
ware, which includes capital, surplus
and undivided profits. When the
House refused consideration of the
Senate School bill, a resolution stat.
ing the reasons for this action was
introduced by Representative Kramer
and passed. The aloofness of the
Senate and the apparent plan of the
upper House to write the School Law
has resulted in the House going aheac
with the preparation of its own bill
Between the two Houses there is no
now in sight any compromise or mid
die ground on which the friends O.
progressive schools can work.
