PRESIDENT COOLIDGE DECLARED he was
not concerned about the effect of high or low
surtaxes on people of large means. "They can
take care of themselves, whatever happens as
the rich always can" His chief concern is for
the poorer classes who, in their daily cost of
living. are affected by the indirect influence of
high surtaXes. AT the end of the year it will
always be found that the people as whole have
paid the taxes That is the reason that Mr..
Coolidge has urged lower surtaxes, so that cap
ital may be induced to come from its hiding in
tax-eXempt bond investments and engage in pro-
ductive enterprise, the proceeds of which will
be subject to tax. In that way the cost OF gov
will be spread over greater part of
the countrys wealth and not concentrated on
the smaller portion that is now made to bear
he whole burden.

THE HUNTING SEASON is close at hand and
the danger from fires which start from careless
dropping of matches, or throwing of cigarettes
into dry stubble, or leaves in the woods, should
be eliminated or at least lessened from what
has been recorded in past seasons. Here in Del
aware we do not have the danger which comes
through the burning of great forests of timber
but there is none too much young timber grow
ing on the lands in the state, and yet the an
nual destruction of thousands of young pine,
guA,Uak, OF other shrubbery, runs into many
thousands of dollars each year. Most of this
loss to the state and individual wealth in grow
ing timber by fire, has it's origin in the careless
handling of matches used to light cigarettes
pipes and cigars. We have no grudge against
the use of tobacco, neither do we object to the
use of tobacco in proper place and due regard
to safety of property on the contrary the frag-
rance of a good cigar or pipe as it distributes
the aroma of high grade of tobacco, is pleas
ant experience for the olifactory nerves. Every
man. who thinks and is not hog, will cooper
ate in a campaign of safety which the National
Forestry Service is starting. This department
has lust written to seventeen of the largest to-
bacco manufacturers of the United States re-
questing them to insert warning cards in every
package of cigarettes they put out, cautioning |
the smokers to be careful with fire in the woods.
Similar campaigns are being undertaken by var
ious state chambers of commerce.
The reason for this is that in studying the
problem of fire prevention, the Forest Service |
has been forcibly impressed with the hazard of
forest fires caused by thoughtless smokers. Fig
ures recently compiled covering Oregon and
Washington show that % per cent of the fires
have been caused by smokers.
The public, year by year, is becoming more
and more aggressive on the subject of man
caused forest fires and should demand that what
ever steps are necessary be taken to eliminate
such fires entirely.
Inasmuch as matches and cigarettes are re-
sponsible for the greater part of our annual fire
loss, match manufacturers could well join with
tobacco manufacturers in spreading the gospel
of carefulness with fire.
Last Monday in passing over the concrete
highway between Elkton, Md, and Havre de
Grace a long stretch of burned over mountain
side was observed, and the Forestry Commission
Of Maryland had erected a sign for all who read i
10 learn that the destruction caused, was entire t
y preventable if common sense and carefulness {
had been observed. 1t will be many years be-
ore that timber country will be reclaimed by I
nature, after the reckless and carelessness of c
man. Will you help to prevent, instead of start t
ng fires? f

EIGHT YEARS of Democratic administra-
tion, during the first six years of which the
Democrats controlled Congress, placed an in
creasing burden of taxation on the American
people. These increases swere not all due to
waging war. AS soon this party came into
power in 1913, appropriations began to mount
In the spring of 1916, the Democratic Congress-
appropriated more money for the fiscal year be-
ginning July of that year than had ever before
been appropriated for the expenses of the fed

venture in Milford, made its initial appearance
this week. In politics the new publication will

people of this community, the publishers do so
with the hope of serving the best civic interests
Of Milford, southern Kent county and northern
Sussex county. The Dispatch is Democratic in
politics and will closely follow the activities of
that party. The Democratic party has been
without representation from a journalistic stand

willing to offer our services for the advance
ment and betterment of the civic interests of
this community"
The Chronicle welcomes the Dispatch to Mil

HAY MARKET STEADY;
GOOD GRADES SCARCE
''Tame" Crop Smaller Than Last
Year, But Timothy Is Larger
According To Report.

The hay market was practically
unchanged during the week ending
September 13, according to the
Weekly Review of the Department of
Agriculture. Receipts of high grade
hay continued light and moved read
lily but offerings of the lower grades
were in excess of buyers needs and
were difficult to sell. The scarcity of
good hay turned buyers attention to
ordinary grades in some markets.
The tame hay crop will be half a
million tons short of last years pro-
/ ductiOn, 88.5 million tons against 89.1
millions in 1928, according to the De-
| partment's forecast of September l.
However, the territory including
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and east
ward to New England, approximately
the northeastern quarter of the
country, shows an increase of Is per
cent over last years crop, while
Montana and Oklahoma show slight |
increases. The New England crop is |
80 per cent of last years figure, |
while Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia and South Carolina
have only two-thirds as much as the
1928 production, and other States
show varying reductions.
Although the tame hay crop is
smaller than last year the timothy
forecast is II per cent larger, 14,S73,-
900 tons against 12,749,00 tons har-
vested last year, and the increase is
largely in the area having a larger
tame hay crop while only few of
the other states show a material de- ]
crease.
The timothy market averaged t
barely steady during the week. The i
market was dull at Boston and New t
York. with a tendency toward lower s
prices but demand was good at Chi

receipts at these markets moved c

THAT SILVER is a convenient and satisfac-
tory metal for coinage into fractional parts Of
the dollar, down to the dime there is universal
belief. The people west of the Mississippi River
are accustomed to its for the dollar, which is
in general circulation there, but east Of that
great river the use of paper money is in gener-
al use and its convenience has become part of
commercial transactions to the exclusion of all
silver dollars, this we do not care to have dis
turbed. Yet there is a move, to start propaganda
to force again the silver dollar as a currency
medium, into general use and in writing and
discussion on this subject Professor Irving Fish
er, Yale University international economist, re-
Gently said that gold is no longer a stable stand
ard of value, and that it's purchasing power
should be stabilized to prevent evils of initiation
or defation by larger use of silver all over the
world.
The treasury has embarked upon campaign
to restore the silver dollar to general circula-
ton An initial step was taken when one of the
Coins was placed in the pay envelope of each of
5000 Treasury employees. Similar action will
be suggested to other government departments
Paper has been supplanting silver dollars but
upkeep of paper money costs the government
around 8 per cent of its total face value, while
maintenance of silver dollars costs practically
nothing
