Motor Trucks And Good Roads
Make DeLaUare Farms Prosper
By JOHN s. HAMILTON in the Sunday Star

I have been such a good thing after all.
Too many railroads are sure to work
hardships on the people. And this
peninsula might have been damaged
with two roads and competition.
But here comes the motor engine
and the automobile and the truck and
every machine owner became an ad-
vOcate for good roads and the ma
chimes grew and the advocates grew
and of course the roads came. So
here we are at the dawn of a new
day, with a perfect system of trans
portation, with a perfect railroad for
/ the long and big shipments of pro-
duce and perfect system for the
little shipments, each augmenting and
complementing the other and with
wonderful possibilities for pleasure
and profit.
We have transportation problems
and the motor engine is solving them.
We have market problems and the mo-
tor engine is solving them. We have
social problems and the motor engine
also is solving them. You cannot think
of a problem which the motor engine
would not solve or help to solve.
OO WAGA yOu LAl1h ebDOul JOuA lct@ACog
think about the benefits that might
come from those taxes. But keep your
eyes on your government. Demand a
dollar for dollars worth.
Suppose Sussex county farmers do
come in increasing numbers to Will
mington's markets and suppose they
take their surplus through Whining
ton to Philadelphia. Do you not be-
lieve that there is something in that
which might compensate for increased
taxes if you knew how to work it out?
If you don't work it out, you're lazy,
that's all.
If Delaware farmers will prepare to
get to the Wilmington market next
year-the early market and the late
about this time next
year we may look for another story
from The Milford Chronicle, which
will tell us of the marvellous increased
prosperity of Delaware farmers. When
that time comes it is certain that, if
they would do it, Wilmington news
papers could tell how Wilmington
shares that prosperity. Why, the mo-
tor engine is solving the tax prob
lem, when you come to think Of it.

Milford chronicle., 1923-10-12

The Milford Chronicle tells us the
charming story of the property OF
Delaware farmers. It is refreshing to
read the news because we were being
taught to blieVe that the farmer was
perishing financially and we feared
that if farming did not pay, then the
farmers would quit, and then where
would we get something to eat?
But The Chronicle undoubtedly
knows what it is talking about and
we all may be glad.
It would be interesting and in
structive for somebody who has the
time and the inclination and the abil-
ity to analyze the causes for this
prosperity of Delaware farmers.
We are being told that we are the
highest taxed people in the Union.
Would it not be informing and en-
couraging if someone could prove
that the prosperity of our farmers is
due in a large measure to the in
creased taxes.
We are building roads, are we not!
The building of these roads is ADDING
much more than anything else to the
growing taxes but do not these roads
let us in and out and does not pros
perity, as we measure it, depend much
or entirely on getting in and out.
These good roads which we are
building are an investment. They in
crease the value of all the farms many
times the cost of the roads and they
are opening up opportunities for bus
mess and profit which will make far
ming a delight and not a drudgery. !
Three or four days week during
the past two months it has been a de-
lightful thing to go to King street and
notice the Sussex county farmers who'
with their trucks, have begun to come
to feed us. They will feed us and we
will pay them. 1t means good for |
those who give and those who take.
We can imagine we see the farmers
wives and daughters next year with
their butter and eggs and poultry and
the like. Why not? There's money in
it and fun.
If big railroad company had come
along and started to build another
railroad down the peninsula how we
would have greeted it with enthusi-
asm and how we would have specu-
lated on the benefits, but it might not
