Reduction in the number of tax col

eral Assembly in Dover, before it adj
journs. The State has three main tax
collecting agencies at present. These
are the State Income Tax Department
with main offices in Wilmington, the
State Treasurer's Office and the Sec
retary of States office in Dover. The
State Income Tax collects the State
income tax, the State corporation tax,
the corporation franchise tax (on cor
porations chartered at Dover and do
ing business outside the State) and
the So filing fee. The State mercan-
tile tax, levied on all local business
houses, stores and manufacturing
plans, is paid directly to the State
Treasurer, and the automobile license

Secretary of States office. The State
Income Tax, of which NJ. Howard Jes

At present the staff comprises the col

ing two bookkeepers. The two book
keepers keep up 10000 accounts, at
present, and the number is steadily
increasing. In New Castle county
four taxes are collected, the tax on
real and personal property, the 25
cent school tax, the poor tax and 81
capitation tax on all males over 81,
owning property. In the special
school districts there is an additional
special school tax. In Wilmington
most of the taxes flow into the two
tax offices, for the Northern and
Southern districts, the Street anC
Sewer Department and City Counci
and Mayors office. The two tax of
fees collect the taxes on real and per-
sonal property, the city school tax, the
(old) paving taxes and what is known
as a horse tax, of 81 per head on the
owners of horses. City Coucil, through
the office of the clerks, collects th'
mercantile taxes on all stores, busi
ness, industrial and manufacturing
plants and professions. Under spe
cial ordinances several other mino
taxes are paid to this agency. Tn

WANT VAN DYKES SCHOOL OPEN
Residents of the District Complain
That Its Closing Was an Inconvenience

A petition, complaining of school
conditions, was Thursday presented in
the House by Representatives Slant,
of Townsend. 1t is signed by 29 resi-
dents living in the Van Dyke school
district, which is between Townsend
and Clayton. 1t reads as follows:
"Inasmuch as our school commonly
known as the Van Dyke Sohcol, has
been arbitrarily closed by the State
Board of Education, and inasmuch as
our children have been forced to at
tend other schools, riding in open
wagons and over miry roads, and in
asmuch as we can get no redress from
the State Board of Education; now,
therefore, we, the undersigned, resi-
dents of the Van Dyke school district,
do hereby most respectfully petition
the honorable Legislature of the State
of Delaware, to assist us in any way
they may or can in reopening our dis
trict school. Representative Slant ex-
planned that this school had been in
service for so years or more. The
children who formerly attended it
have to go to Townsend or elsewhere
to school, he said. A teacher from
Wilmington came there, he said, and
became so disgusted with the place be-
cause of the dilapidated condition OF
the building, broken panes of glass, nc
knobs on the doors, no water, but one
toilet, and other unsanitary conditions
she got enough signers to petition tC
have the school closed. Now the resi-
dents want it reopened and the re
opening of the school was an issue
during the last political campaign il
that district. About 40 pupils form
erly attended the school,

branch of the Farmers Bank has pur-
chased the house on Dover Green,
where he lives, from the bank. Part
of this building for many years was
used by the Formers Bank. The new
bank on Lockerman street was built
in 1901. The property purchased by
Mr.. Morris was owned by the Farm
ers' Bank since the early part of the
last century having been purchased
by the bank from Richard Bassett in
1915. Mr.. Bassett figured prominent
ly in the early history of Delaware,
he having been presidential elector in
1898 and Governor Of Delaware from

MAY WIPE OUT CANNERY LAW
Bills to Abolish Inspector Offered by
Senator ]. Prettyman

Democratic members are evidently
determined to try and abolish the Of
flee of Cannery Inspector. Two bills
were introduced Thursday afternoon
to this effect, one by Senator Jacob
Prettyman, in the Senate, and one by
Representative Pettyjohn in the House
Senator Prettyman also Introduced a
bill to repeal the law relative to sani
tary regulation of canneries. W. E.
Townsend is the present Cannery In
spector. His salary is $1,000 year.
He asked for an increase of $3.50 in
the budget for the next two years, but
Governor Denney refused to approve
that increase in the tentative budget
he submitted to the Legislature. 1t
is claimed that as all the canneries in
Delaware do an Interstate business,
they receive all the inspection that is
necessary by Federal inspectors. Sen
ator Viven introduced bill Thursday
afternoon amending the law relative
to the drainage of swamp land. Sen
ator Viven's bill, making it compul-
sorry for all vehicles to carry a white
light while on the highways at night
was fixed as a special order for 2
o'clock, January "a. Senator Nc
Dowell, said he had heard considerable
opposition to the bill and asked for
the special order. The House Educa-
tion Committee held a meeting Thurs
day, when Representative Nelson's
bill to abolish some offices under the
State Board of Education, and cut the
salaries of others was discussed but
no action was taken on the bill The
committee held a meeting with the
State Board of Education, Monday.
DR.. L. S. Conwell, secretary of the
State Board of Health, was before the
budget committee Thursday afternoon
and explained the work of the State
Board and its branches. He had ask
ed for an appropriation for the next
two years of $28,500 a year, but this
was cut by the governor to $4,000.
Last year the total appropriation of
the board was 27,500. DR.. Conwell' s
odielly y, iS SelluJ 10 pNsOOV yCdI do
secretary of the board, and $1,000 a
year as registrar of vital statistics.
Representatives of the Levy Court of
the three counties were also before
tn budget committee to explain what
money appropriated to the counties is
used for. 1t developed that each
county receives $4,000 annually as
State aid and New Castle $1,000 a
year towards the salary of the High
way Commissioner, Charles E. Grubb
who is also County Engineer. Cover
nor Denney explained to the commit
tee that he fixed the estimated amount
to the State for registration and cleo
tion expenses at next election in one
lump sum of 100000 in the tentative
budget. The cost of the last election
was about $4,000. Even should the
permanent registration bill introduced
by Senator Viven be passed by thi.
Legislature, it would not affect the
cost 10 the State of the next election
as the bill amends the constitution anC
has to be favorably acted on at TIVE
consecutive sessions of the Legisla
ture.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. In
diana University's new players proved
to be the added punch needed to win
and Purdue was the first Western
Conference victim Wednesday night
at Lafayette with Parker and NyikOs
In the game. The score was 81 to 90.
The contest was fought like all ri
valry struggles and the pace was fast
from start to finish. The first half
ended with the score II to IL in favor
Of the Boilermakers.
The lead see-sawed in the final
twenty minutes, but Long Boy"
Parker turned the tide Of battle with
his under-the-basket shots. His long
arms reached over the heads Of the
Purdue guards for tipin counters. He
got five during the final half. Thomas,
the veteran OF the squad, also was
in the thick of the fray and dropped
in Ave baskets from the floor.
Robbins at floor guard for Purdue
was the man the Crimson could not
stop and his play featured for the
losers. His dribbling was high-class
and he accounted for the majority Of
the points, with six field goals and
four from the foul line. He was the
only consistent scorer for Lambert's
squad. Gullion tossed in two field
goals.
1t was a great victory for Indiana
and seems to indicate the Blooming
ton coach at last has hit upon a COM
bination that will cause plenty Of

Five world records hit the

By NEA Service
ST. LOUIS. Feb. Branch Rick
ey. manager of the St. Louis Car
dinals. is dead set against any plan
that will curb home-run hitting.
President johnson of the American
League. Clarke Griffith of the Wash
ington Club. and many other big men
OF the game, believe the home run has
become so cheapened that it has lost
its zip.
Hickey doesn't agree with them. He
says the fans. by their attendance.
have proved they like free-hitting
games featured with home runs.
The St Louis leader says every
club in both major leagues made
plenty of money in the last two years
This. he asserts, is without precedent
in major league affairs.
With the game showing such pop
ularity and prosperity Hickey cannot
figure why it should be choked by
eliminating or making more difficult
the one thing that has popularized
the sport-home runs.
THE fans seldom make compar-
isons of the fielding ability Of rival
players" says Hickey. TT is always
the hitting.
Last season fans the country over
were wildly excited over the home
run race in the majors as to whether
Ruth would be displaced or overcome
the handicap of a late start
You never heard the fans do any
raving about fielding averages.
