ONE RESULT OF THE STRIKES.

This week the Chicago and Alton
Railroad, an important transportation
line running out OF Chicago, was
placed in the hands OF a receiver
The road had been heavily hit in its
operating revenues by the protracted
strike OF the coal miners. and also
seriously harassed by the strike OF the
railroad shopmen. These adverse
conditions melted the move for a re-
ownership.
Probably the financial condition of
the road is such that a receivership
would have been inevitable, but it IS
apparent the strikes forced the re-
suit. Also, there is room for the pre-
sumption that good business. instead
Of the costly restriction and interfer-
ence OF the strikes, would have en-
abled the road to find financial sal
Walton in its legitimate revenues. and
thus avoid a situation that promises
no benefit whatever TO its employees
but may save its owners from a por-
ton of the loss they are bound &c
| incur.
Here is one instance OF how all in
terests are adversely affected by tn.
results Of unwarranted labor disturb
ances. Hundreds OF employees will suf
fer directly by the crippled condition
OF this one large railroad concern

LOOKING ONE WAY ONLY.

Our City Council, Republican in ma
jority. went to the Legislature and
asked for authority to impose a local
tax on the business people OF Will
mington. The Council urged the need
Of more money and insisted upon
being authorized 10 tax local business
for revenue purposes. The authority
was granted, and City Council pro-
ceeded 10 put an additional tax on
business Of all kinds.
Our business people are paying this
tax, but recently they went 10 City
Council with the pertinent and JUST
fable complaint that among their
competitors In business We're non-resi-
dents who came here and openly sold
their wares in our market, but were
not required 10 pay business taxes.
Very properly they asked that these
nonresident competitors be taxed
also.
But. 10 and behold, our City Coun-
ell finds itself without authority 10
lay a tax on non-residents who come
here 10 sell and make money, In open
competition with our tax-paying resi-
dent business people. So the latter
have no relief without further action

SO far as the mere matter of COM
petition is concerned. it may not be a
practical element in the consideration
But none can deny the injustice OF
allowing non-residents to do bushes.
here without paying the tax that IS
SO vigorously imposed upon residents
The Republican City Council, how
ever. gave no thought to this i'm
portant matter when asking an en-
largement of its tax-levying powers.

RELIEF FOR GERMANY.

The Reparation Commission OF the
Entente European nations has granted
to Germany an extension OF six
months, relieving that apparently
bankrupt nation OF the necessity Of
making any cash payments on ac-
count OF war indemnitics now due for
that length OF time. Decision on the
question OF granting a complete mora
torium was reserved until, radical re-
forms In Germany's national finances
are proposed and carried out.
1t will generally be admitted that
this Is fully as much consideration as
Germany is entitled to. Indeed, there
is reason for the contention that she
is entitled TO no consideration, what
ever. But the prevailing conditions IN
Germany are such that no doubt the
commission, In granting this much
relief, was strongly actuated by the
force of the homely aphorism about
the lmposslbility of getting blood out
of n turnip."

WARNING IN THE DEFICIT.

According 10 Secretary Melons
estimate the deficit for. the current
fiscal year is likely TO come to half
just what that prospect means in the
face OF attempts of various sorts TO
draw upon the country for many bill
lions Of dollars more.
The treasury has found 1t more
difficult to make revenues meet ex-
penditures than the makers OF the
budget supposed. When the budget
was drawn up the President told
Congress that the remaining excess
of expenditures would, so he hoped, be
wiped out >by further economies In
stead OF vanishing the prospective
deficit has doubled. The fisappoint-
ing collections of Federal direct taxes
had something to do with this. The
halt In the decline of prices may have
contributed to making the Govern
ment's bills higher than it expected

that the country will have to raise

WHAT WILL HARDING DOT

The Soldiers Bonus bill, having
passed the Senate. is now in the
hands Of the conference committee
of the two houses over the Senate's
amendments. 1t is practically as
sured the report of the conference
committee will be accepted by Senate
and House and then the measure will
go to the President.
President Harding has been COM
sistent from the first in his oppo-
sition 10 a Bonus bin without ample
provisiop for meeting tho enormous
cost fits operation would involve. The
Senate sought to meet this proper
objection by a provision for applying
the interest on the war loans made
by the government to foreign gov.

remains to be seen whether this
doubtful proposition will appear con,
elusive 10 the President.

sufficient number of hostile Sena
tors to prevent the passage of the bill

Senators who voted for It but Nigh

THERE'S A REASON.

Kent county Democratic primaries
are in progress today, and there are
numerous candidates for nomination
TO the various official places to be
filled at the coming election. The
Democratic voters will have a fine
array Of good names from which to
make their selections.
There's reason for this condi-
ton. Ten years ago the people of
Kent county. tired of the incompetent
and extravagant Republican machine
administration that had increased
taxes and produced no good results,
made n radical change by. installing
a capable Democratic administration
Good results followed--economy in
administration. complete collection of
taxes each year. and something. prac-
teal given TO the poople in return for
their tax money. Every effort OF the
Republican machine TO get back into
power has been defeated by the wise
and wary taxpayers of Kent county
This is the reason for the large
number of aspirants TO the various
official places at todays Democratic
primaries. They know success at the
primaries means victory at the cleo
ton.
