STIMULANTS FOR SUBSIDY,

Attorney General Daugherty, who
has already a good many things to
worry about, now has the fate of the
American merchant marine to worry
about. Secretary Mellon has asked
Mr.. Daugherty for ruling on the
legality OF the sale of liquor on Ship
ping Board vessels on the high seas
But inasmuch as Chairman Lasker of
the Shipping Board has told US that
liquor on our ships is a question of
life or death for the merchant marine
IL is obvious that in Mr.. Daugherty's
hands rests the decision whether this
country shall continue to pay tribute
TO foreign freight carriers, see the
foreign markets closed TO our agricul-
tural products. face the perils of a
future war without an adequate trans
port reserve, &c, or whether we shall
proceed to seize our proud destiny on
the seas by keeping the swinging
doors on the Shipping Board smoke
rooms In active operation.
1t is responsibility from which
any one man might well shrink. II
is peculiarly hard on Mr.. Daughcrty
| because he is a close friend of Mr.
Harding, and the Subsidy bill is neal
| to the Presidents heart. If Mr.. Laskei
is right, a decision adverse TO liIuol
means the defeat of the President:
hopes. On the other hand, "A favurabl,
ruling might be taken to mean tina

thinks that merchant marine Is worth

ton law; and that might have seri
Gus political consequences.
Our own belief is that the subsid.
cause Will not be hurt if Mr.. Daugh
erty decides against liquor. Unlik
Mr.. Lasker, we think that a merchan
marine which cannot survive withou
barroom privileges has very little I
say for itself as sound economi

WHY THE CHANGEi

Newspapers OF Kent county In this |
weeks editions carried the following |
Interesting and significant advertise |
mcnt, conspicuously displayed:
TAKE NOTICE.-The Kent
county Levy Court has instructed
the sheriff TO proceed 10 collect
all delinquent taxes for tho year
1891, which ne Will do at once.
Those who do not come forward
and pay win be dealt with accord
ing 10 law"
For several years in succession
we believe up 10 the year 1s21-the
Kent county administration made an
almost unparalleled record by collect
Ing each years tax levy 20 the last
dollar during the tax year. This was
n surprising accomplishment. II was
In line with the pledges OF reform
which were made by the Democratic
party OF Kent county, decade OF
more ago. when It asked the people
TO drive out OF power an incompetent
and extravagant Republican county
administration which had mismannged
affairs. Up 10 this time the Demo-
cratic administration has been tn
dorsed at each succeeding election by
the people of Kent county because II
gave them good results, IN pleasing
contrast with the bad records Of its
predecessors.
Now we SEQ a change In one import
ant respect. The tax levy for the
year 1921 has not been collected IN
full. There are many delinquenctes,
and tho Levy Court, intent upon keep
ing up the good record OF the past as
far as possible. has resolved 70 adopt
extreme measures for the purpose Of
preventing On accumulation OF I'M
paid taxes TO interfere with financial
operations during tho next year.
There must Re reason for this
change. 1t Is not 10 be supposed the
officials OF the present Democratic ad-
ministration have become negligent IN
respect Of this important duty. The
fault must be with the people. They
have not been as prompt IN paying
last years county taxes as they
showed themselves TO be in previous
years.
And this Is not surprising. The pas
few years have not bean prosperoui
ones. Also, IN Delaware they hav'
been marked by tax Increases OF ,
considerable extent The expenses o
State administration have increased
enormously and taxes have been null
t.pl,ed. A uaania for spending has de
veloped and thus far has been en-
couraged.
So II is entirely reasonable TO believ
tina; with less prosperous times an

MUST VOTE PARTY
BALLOT AT PRIMARY

The Indiana election commissioners
are using much stress in impressfng
voters that at the primary election
May 2, members of each party can
legally vote only the ballot of their
own party-that Republicans must
vote Republican ballot and Demo-
Gratis Democrat ballot, otherwise
they are subject to challenge and the
penalty of the state election laws.
At Indianapolis Tuesday, Maurics
Tenant, member of the state board
of election commissioners, issued the
following official opinion:
Section 10 of the primary election
law of 1917, holds in part that, when
voter is challenged on the ground
of party utilization, he shall not be
permitted to vote unless he shall
make affidavit that at the last pre-
ceding general election he affiliated
with the party for whose candidate he
proposes to vote in such primary /;
that he voted at the last general cleo
ton for party, and that he intends to
support and vote for the nominees OF
this party at the coming election.

qualified voters who did not vote al

voters may vote after challenge il

HUNT WILL ATTEND
STATE TAX MEETING.

A meeting of the state tax commit.
tee of the Indiana Farmers Fedora
ton in Indianapolis, Thursday, May 81,
will be attended by Everett Hunt, of
Whitewater, president of the Wayne
County Farm bureau and representa-
tive on the committee of the eastern
Indiana district of 10 counties.
The committee will consider the
manner in which revaluation of farm
land has been accomplished in accord
ance with the new true value" as
sessment law which went into effect
Jan. 1, 1922.
1t has been the contention of farm
ers and other taxpayers that some
forms of property, including farm land,
has been bearing an undue share of
the tax burden through variations in
valuations. To remedy this, the new
law was passed, requiring all property
to be given it's full value by the ap-
praisers. Tax rates will then be ad
justed so that each industry will bear
a proportionate share, difficult mat
ter when both rates and valuations
differ.
Committees were appointed las:
winter by county and township farm
| ers' organizations to work with the
tax assessors in revaluation of prop
erty. Reports on this work have beer
received by Mr.. Hunt from the II
county farm bureaus in this district
and will be presented at the meeting
