A TAX QUESTION.

Editor Every Evening: ] have read
with much interest The different views
of others that have appeared in your
columns from time TO time in respect
to the so-called filing tax. of which
the court recently handed down an
opinion as being constitutional.
But has tho court In it's decision
made II clear as to who are lawfully
assessable for the SO filing tax? DO
the Constitution and tho laws Of
Delaware Justify the assessing Of
women for n capitation tax?
am aware that tho Nineteenth
Amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton has made woman a citizen with
the qualification Of voting. But that
is tho Federal law. In view of the fact
Of the state of Delaware having never
yet ratified the Nineteenth Amend
meut to the Federal Constitution. does
that affect the status of women ~
Delaware on matters that are purely
State and not Federal?
Does the fac. Of the Federal Con
stitution. by the Nineteenth Amend
mont. giving woman full citizenship
justify the assessing of women II
Delaware for capitation tax or films
fec without the amendment Of tn,
Constitution and laws Of Delaware
Is woman i'm fun citizenship in Della
ware on matters purely OF State ant
municipalities without legislation t.
that effect Is woman assessable?

ONE CAUSE or HIGH RENTS.

Amid the general volume of COM
plant about high rents very little is
heard about the underlying causes
for this condition. As a rule. land
lords are indiscriminately charged
with 'profteering," and are damned
up hill and down dale" because rental
charges do not come down to pre-war
figures
Prohteering there may be. but in
order 10 ascertain whether it actually
exists, except in occasional instances,
careful examination. with all the ele-
ments of the situation duly set forth.
is necessary.
II is true that rents have not come
down to pre-war figures. Neither have
wages. building materials. food prices
and other elements that enter into the
rent problem.
Rented properties must be kept in
fairly habitable condition. But today
II will cost six dollars or more to
paper a room that could have been
papered for two dollors before the war.
! Repair work of all kinds, plumbing
work, painting. and other accessories,
all cost much more than they did be-
I fore the war. These facts must not be
omitted from any consideration of the
rent question. And also there is the
important clement of heavily increased
taxes.
That there are instances Of actual
profiteering is not doubted. especially
in the rental charges for houses that
cannot be. termed more than mere
shacks. occupied mainly by Negroes
and very poor white families. AND
In some Of these so-called residence.
the sanitary conditions are such as t.

WORK.

WORN.
Work is a drudge
And task master stern.
Severe as a Judge
Who compels us 10 earn
The wages he pays;
He is pitiless. too.
And harsh in his ways
AS he bosses the crew.
Work Is a king
That forever commands
His whip lashes sting
AS above US he stands,
He piles on the loads
And drives us ahead
over terrible roads
Till the daylight is spec
Work isn't as fine
AS his half brother Play.
His eyes seldom shine
In so merry way;
There are pleasanter things
Than the tasks you must do,
But none Of them brings
The real glories to you.
Work is a drudge
And a driver by day.
As stern as a judge. p
But there's TO other way
or rising TO fame,
Or of serving your need
In life's daily game
It's by work you succeed.

A Barnard girl had yielded to this
insidious propaganda just prior 10 her
mothers arrival home from Europe,

the steamship pier as the passengers
filed off the big liner. The mother was
all expectancy. too, craning her neck
to find her beloved child in the wait
