SOLDIERS BONUS MEANS TAX
lFrom Every Eveningl

D
The Republican majority members
of the Congress feel that it is incum-
bent upon them to pass a bill provid-
ing for a cash bonus to our soldiers
who fought in the World War. They
are intent upon passing such a bill,
but are not disposed to give heed to
the problem of providing a fund from
which payments may be made.
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
Department, who seems like prac-
ticaI business man, opposes the grant
ing of bonus without making ample
provision for meeting the case. He
says the cost may be met only by the
imposition of extra taxation, and has
suggested various items of tax i'm
position to meet the probable emer-
gency-certain if bonus should be
ordered
Secretary Mellon is right, and Con-
gress would be entirely wrong in pass
ing a bonus bill without also provid-
ing means for raising the money it
would call for For if the appropria-
tion is made, the money must be rails
ed in some manner
So it may be set down as a GER
tainty that a bonus means more taxes.
The people, therefore, are interested
to this extent. If they favor a bonus,
they must accept further tax impO-
sitions in order to provide the neces-
sary funds. There is no use in favor
ing the first proposition without also
meeting the second. In a word, the
bonus means more taxes.

GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

Ellendale has again demonstrated hel
loyalty to the cause of education by or
ganizing one of the largest Parent Tea
chers Associations in the State. The
teachers through the help of the children
were instrumental in securing 12S mem
bers.
The first meeting was held at Testers
Hall, Friday evening. February 10TH
with full attendance. The program rem
dered by the children consisted of pa
triotic songs, recitations, duets, charades
and dialogues.
This was followed by the election of
Otis p. Jefferson as temporary chairman
and Minnie j. Reed as temporary secre-
tary After a few remarks were made
by the chairman in which the faculty
members of the school board and others
were invited to the platform. Mrs. J. B.
Cleaver president of the Delaware P. T..
A. was introduced and her talk was very
interesting.
The second speaker, Prof c. E. Tim
mons of Frankford, not only entertained
us but gave the boys and girls infor-
nation, which if needed will benefit them
much in the years to come. We are CRATE
full indeed to Mr.. Timmons for his lee
ture.
Lastly. we perfected the organization
by electing K. w. jefferson, president;
Minnie J. Reed, vice president; Mrs. l.
F. Warren, secretary; and Col David H.
Reed, treasurer. The faculty was chosen
as program committee, with Mrs. Mary
" Pierce as chairman. Mrs. Lima Reed
Anderson. Mrs Norman Prettyman and
Mary W. Warren were chosen as social
committee. John West was elected press
correspondent.
We wish to extend our hearty and sin
cere thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Harry w.
Jester for the free use of their hall.
Surely it would have been impossible to
have had such a meeting in the school
house.
The next meeting will be held about
the middle of March. Watch for the date
in the columns of the Milford Chronicle.
