MORE TIME TO PAY FILING FEE
Deputies Will Tour County To Collect
Taxes From DeliEquents

Delinquent taxables of Wilmington,
rural New Castle, Kent and Sussex
counties will be given further oppor-
tunitieS to pay their 1921 and 1922
State income taxes and filing fees.
Beginning Monday the three field de-
puties attached to the State tax Of
flee will visit almost every town in the
three counties and receive the income
tax returns and filing fee from the
residents of the towns and outlying
districts who have as yet failed to
pay the required taxes. NJ. Howard
Jester, State tax commissioner, in an
nouncing his plans for the collection
of taxes from delnquents, said that
every opportunity will be given de-
linquentS so that in the event they
are indicted for nonpayment they will
have no complaint to make against
his office. Last year, during Janu-
/ airy and February, | sent my three de-
puties throughout the counties in
which they are stationed to collect
taxes from the farmers and other
rural residents" he said. "This year
l was unable to do this because of the
wavering status of the law. But be-
ginning May p am going to have
the deputies go about the counties SC
that the farmers cannot complain that
we did not treat them as we did last
year" Bills and posters listing the
towns which the deputies will visi
and at what time their offices will b,
opened are being printed and will bc
circulated throughout the three coun
ties, Mr.. Jester said. At the office O
A. A. Watson, deputy commissions
for this county, it was learned tina

28O,OOO SCHOOL FOR NEWARK
District Raised S16O,OOO and School
Auxiliary Is To Aid S12O,OOO

Announcement has been made by
the Newark school authorities that
the Delaware School Auxiliary has
voted the Newark Special district
$12O,OOO towards the proposed new
school building. With the S16O,OOO
that the district was authorized to
bond for at a special election last year
this will make a total of S280,O0O
available for the new building. When
the new school project was first talk
ed Of several years ago it was report
ed that the school auxiliary would
give S225,000, which with S16OOOO
the limit that the district could be
bonded for would have made $685., 700
for the building. Original plans were
drawn for a $285,O0O building. New
ark, however, delayed a considerable
time in taking any action relative to
| bonding and in the meantime some
of the securities held by the auxiliary
deprecated and not wishing to sacri-
| flee these securities the original offer
was withdrawn. These circumstances
have delayed the starting of work on
the proposed building although it was
nearly year ago that the district
was authorized to borrow S160,OOO
Until last week it looked as though
Newark would have to go ahead with
out any help from the school auxiliary
at least for a time. The action O1
voting Sl2O,OOO to the Newark district
was taken at a meeting of the auxil
iary early last week. DR.. Walter H
Steel, president of the Newark schoo
board states that work will be start
ed on the building as soon as the plan.
can be revised by the architects, bid
asked for and the contract awarded
The board has the ground for tn
school which is located on soutl
Academy street, now used as an ath
letic field. There is sufficient groun,
for a modern athletic field and play
ground after the building is erected
The original idea was to house tn
high, grammer and primary schoC
children in the one building. Thes
plans will now likely be changed. Pro
visions will be made in the new build
ing for the high and grammer grade
and probably at later time an add
tion will be built for the primar
grade. In the meantime what is no,
the grammer school will be used fo
the primary grades after the ne
building is erected. The origin;
idea of a large auditorium in tn
building will also be abandoned as tn
funds will not be sufficient. TIL

NEWS IN ENGLAND

The newspapers in England have
featured great thing. 1t has attract
ed so much attention that the item
has been placed on the first page with
big headlines.
1t was bad enough, they thought
over there, when some of our Amer
lean athletes played the game of golf
in their shirt sleeves, but that, of
course, might have been expected of
an American. But when Americas in.
fuence was strong enough to influ-
ence two veterans of English golf, j.
H. Taylor and Alex Herd to do the
same thing, it was news indeed.
So. hereafter, coatless Englishmen
may be seen playing golf and, perhaps
doing other things without wearing
their coats. Americans are not afraid
to break the coat conventional, in
deed IL ever existed here-and their
game does not suffer because of this
indifference. The taking
off the coat habit" and going to it"
will not hurt Englishmen. probably.

BERGDOLL AGAIN

4 There is not man in the United
want Grover Cleveland Bergdoll back
In this country and in prison, there to
serve his term for draft evasion. The
passage of time does not alter this
feeling. His mother, it was said, went
over to Germany to try to bring him
q back; that was the understanding by
the authorities when she left.
1 Now another attempt has been
made to kidnap him, he is reported to
have shot one of the would-be kid
nappers and another is wounded. The
man had right to defend himself in
this case but naturally we can have
little sympathy for him. His actions
have brought these attacks upon him
self but that fact does not make the
situation any less deplorable. And,
much as the people who served in the
American army in the war want
go to the extreme of wanting to get
him at any cost. The repeated rumors
that some great organization" in this
country is back of these attempts to
capture him place some organizations
here In bad light which they do not
deserve. And no one is in a position to
come out and deny that his or her
organization is attempting to kidnap
Bergdoll, as the rumors are not de-
finite enough to accuse any organiza-
ton.
Those who attempt to get Bergdoll
back here in this way are mistaken
friends of America; this despite the
fact that our sense of justice demands
his paying the penalty for his actions
in the past.

THE PARTY CAUCUS

1t is noted that the republican mem
bers of the common council held a
caucus last evening for an informal
discussion of matters which are to
come before the council tomorrow
evening. OF course only members OF
the republican party are welcome to
these meetings, the idea of which has
been conceived comparatively recent
ly.
One who attends the council ses-
sions regularly is often surprised at
the decisions which are sometimes
made by the majority, and the thor
ough unanin1ity of action by the mem
bers of such majority. Before the
party caucus came to be a part of the
political activities of the city, the
same results as those now brought
through the caucus, were achieved by
gatherings in the corridors of city hall
or elsewhere. Politics is politics and as
long as the affairs of the city are car
ried on by human beings there will be
these meetings in some form. And
there would be little harm in them
in fact they would accomplish much
good--if they were open to all men,
bers OF the council or others interest
ed in the affairs of the city.
The point is that common council
of a city of this size, where the coun-
ellis decisions affect everyone in
timately, is like no other body of law
makers. Impossible as it seems, it
would be the city's advantage to have
all politics taken out of the discus
sions Of the council. Organization is
necessary, say all practical politicians,
and organization is necessary, of
course, as long as there are great
parties in this country. But after cleo
tion it would seem that politics might
be laid aside; the discussions of city
affairs open to all, and less of the
mysterious, influence seen that comes
out of the party caucus.

OFFICIALS CONDEMN
Main ST. BUILDING


ton with the representatives Of the
health and building boards and to-
gether they went to the building this
morning.
Changes Ordered Two Years Ago.
Two years ago, health department
records indicate, the proprietor of the
building was ordered to refrain from
the use of certain rooms that were
entirely without ventilation and where
sanitary conditions did not measure up
to the departments requirements.
Four rooms were closed, but they have
since been used as store rooms and
an accumulation of substances easily
inflammable has resulted.
Chief Souney in his inspection this
morning ordered this condition rem
edied. He also pointed out the con-
dition of plaster in several rooms
where breaks had occurred and, in
some instances, where there was but
a few square feet OF plaster on the
walls. This, also, was ordered re-
paired. Until these orders have been
complied with. approval will be with
held. Chief Souncy states.
Sanitary Arrangements Unsatisfactory.
The health department officials
were chiefly interested In alleged un-
satisfactory plumbing which, they re-
port exists throughout the entire por=
ton OF the building formerly used as
hotel and now as roeming house,

BRANDEGEE AND COOLIDGE

When President Coolidge assumed
office there were many who were in
clned to feel that he would prove to
be man entirely sufficient until him
self, that he would rely upon his own
judgment The reputation he had for
not being mixer" did him no harm.
Some went so far as to say that he
would prove the strong man in Wash
ington. .t...
1t is too early to form an opinion
as to what characteristics will develop
in him, but already some of that feel
ing that he will be independent of
others has been effaced. The Herald's
Washington correspondent speaks of
Senator Brandegee as 1.-The potential
Mark Hanna of the Coolidge regime"
No matter how greatly one may adj
mire Senator Brandegee there is no
desire to see him, or any other man,
dominate matters at Washington I'M
less the right comes to him properly
as it comes to the President. 1t is ma
tural that the new President should
seek the advice of others, but not in
IA long time has there appeared evil
dence of such constant comforting by
a President and member of the
Senate as is being seen now.
The late President Harding left as
his most important principle his adj
vocacy of the United States entering
and participating in the World Court.
AS one of the leaders of the irrecon-
cilables, to say nothing of his position
in the "Old Guard" Senator Brande-
gee was undoubtedly disturbed by this
attitude of the late President. Presi-
dent Coolidge has gone OF record as
intending to carry out the Harding
policies. 1t is not hard, therefore, con-
sidering the close relation established
between President Coolidge and Sena-
tor Brandegee, to believe that this
World Court question was one Of the
main subjects of discussion in recent
conferences. 1t will give some. idea of
the comparative strength of the Pres
ident and Senator Brandegee to note
the attitude the President takes on
this matter which was of such i'm
portance in the mind of the late Pres
ident Harding. If his successor allows
the World Court plan to be forgotten
it would indicate that President Cool
idge has considered the exigencies of
politics rather than the policies he has
promised to follow.

SAME STORY EVERYWHERE

Human nature is the same every
where. Regardless of what news
papers one reads, the burdens of taxa
tion and the groanings of those who
are carrying the burdens find a place
in the editorial column. There is not
the slightest doubt that the residents
of the Fiji Islands would complain
against the tax on nose rings or some
others article of commerce If they had
a newspaper through which to make
their objections artieulate.
People are crying to the high
heavens against taxation. In a recent
edition of a Nova Scotia paper the
editor pays his respects to the leaders
of Liberals in Prince Edward Island
four of whom survived hurricane of
ballots, the depositors of which turned
. deaf ear to thz appeals of the LIB
New Britain herald., 1923-08-14

eral office seekers with the exception
Of the four noted above. Commenting
on the situation, the editor says:
THE four Dominion Liberal mem
bers In P. r. l., like their prototypes,
the Solid 16' in Nova Scotia, were
elected on the promise Of return of
the Golden Era on the seating In
power of the Mackenzie King govern
ment. Alas, the Golden Era has not
arrived, but in its stead the people
of Canada are experiencing an Era
of the most burdensome taxation and
high living costs that it has ever been
called upon to endure,
Under the circumstances 1t is only
human nature that the electors should
have turned and stoned the false
prophets who, by their studiously de-
vised false prophecies, have misled the
electorate of the country into reposing
confidence in the Mackenzie King
government"
The foregoing has familiar ring to
voters in the United States. 1t resem-
bles. in spirit, the criticism which is
heard as elections draw near. After
all, artificial geograp hical boundaries
may change the ownership of a strip
of earth, but they do not change the
nature of the man owning it. Cana
dian or Yank, we're much the same.
What Kipling said about Judy
O'Grady and the other woman also
applies to Judy O'Grady's husband
and the other woman's husband, and
their brothers and sons.
