STATE EXPENSES HAVE INCREASED
FROM $5O0,OOO.T TO $4,0OO,OOO IN
FEW YEARS, JUDGE B0YCE SAYS
He Charges Reckless Administration Of Affairs Under
Republican Rule Shows How Tax Burden Has Grown
and Useless Offices Have Been Created, to be Paid
for by the People.

Deplorable conditions in Delaware.
which resulted from Republican in
efficiency. were reviewed by Judge
William II. Boyce. Ezekiel Cooper and
William w. Knowles at largely at
tended meeting of Ninth Ward Demo-
Gratis held last night in No. IL School.
I'VE have a recklessly extravagant
administration. and it is largely due 10
partisan politics and particularly TO
the multiplication of officers. many of
whom draw salaries without rendering
any public service" Judge Boyce said.
Taxes have increased enormously in
almost every direction. Not many
years ago our State expenses Were
considerably less than 100000; today
they approximate S4,000,00c Our
population, in round numbers, is
about $4,000. Twenty-Five years ago
our per capita tax for State govern
ment was a little above 81; today II
is nearly $40. Worse than this, we
are not paying as we so from taxes
collected. We are borrowing great
deal of money, and we are creating
an ever-increasing interest bearing
debt. In former years we had in
terest-bearing investments in excess
OF our debt
Unless extravaganza is checked we
are sure TO have a staggering burden
cast upon a population so small as
ours. Even now, if 1t were not for
the fees and taxes derived from corpo-
ration charters we would be in a
pitiable plight and many things We
have undertaken probably would have
to be suspended, if not abandoned"
Mentioning an outstanding issue in
the campaign. Shall he people rule?'
Judge Boyce said:
THE question addresses itself to
every Delawarean,s TO every true
American. That the people shall rule,
as was intended by the fathers of our
government, should be the business of
the soul and mind of every individual
voter. With conditions existing in
this State as they do exist even the
people of the party in the ascendancy
in this State do not govern. The con-
trolling power in this State is in the
hands OF a very few. The State is, for
the greater part, governed by small
number of self-constituted, selfish
persons, who have not, for the most
part. been chosen, elected or appointed
by the people, and they do not repre-
sent the people in any truly repre-
sentative sense. You thus have in the
ruling power in this State an oligarchy
meaning. few rule-a form of gov
ernment which the founders Of our ma
ton and State well understood and
which they did not intend TO have, for
they vested the powers of government
