heir, contrary to the old Turkish law
that the Sultan's oldest male relation
should take the throne. It is probable
that Abdul Hamid would have sue
ceeded in this plan if a violent revo-
luton had not driven him from his Z
throne.
Prince Burhan-ed-Dn was brought
up with every kind of indulgence. He H.
had palaces in Constantinople and
elsewhere, a troupe of French dane
ing girls and stable full of beautiful
Arabian horses. The war brought
considerable changes in his fortunes,
but he still found the means of liv-
ing in luxury. He is something more
than a spendthrift and voluptuary. He
is cunning intriguer, and the British ac
cuse him of causing the situation that has
nearly brought the into war with the
Turks over the Mosul oil fields.
Prince Burhan-ed-Din had just exhaust
ed his supply of cash at the Monte Carlo
gambling tables, when he heard of the
presence of I'VE wealthy Lady Sholto
Douglas. He obtained an introduction to
her in the correct manner and immedi-
ately began to court her in his seductive
way. He talked I her of mis- fairy-like
palace by the Bosphorus and his
many possessions in Turkey, which he
said he expected to recover from the new
Turkish Government with her help.
Proposals had at various times been adj
vanced to make the Prince King of Syria
and King of Albania, and these doubtless
sdied to his attractions in the Divorces
eyes She yielded to his wooing and he
Immediately began to borrow money from
her.
The Prince made his conquest of the
widow a sure thing by declaring that If
he had to choose between her and one of
the thrones offered him, he would unhesi-
tatingly renounce the throne.

This completely won the divorcee's love
and she fell into his arms and placed her
checkbook at his disposal

lies before u.s." said Lady Douglas to a
friend "There is just the spice of danger
that adds zest to life, just the glamor of
romance that is necessary to make love

store for us, we shall face it without
flinching."

used to be and as we believe it still
should be on small or moderate es-
tates. Our present inheritance tax
law is both direct and a collateral
tax law, that is it taxes the shares
OF widows, husbands, parents, chill
dren or grandchildren as well as
collateral heirs or devises such as
brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews
and strangers in blood in varying
degrees. The rates o nthese class
es vary from one per cent to eight
per cent with exemptions to blood
relations of $4,000 to parents, hus-
band or wife, and a child or grand
child and $1,000 to other blood re-
lations. A widow pays one per
cent on all she receives from her
husbands estate over $4,000, up to
100000. On the next $4,000 two
per cent and so on with the highest
rate four per cent. While it might
not be wise to exempt direct heirs
altogether we think there should be
be a very much larger exemption to
widows and children. In view of
the Federal estate tax on estates of

sarily low. Should the Federal tax
be removed Delaware could mater

tates and still make the total tax
much less than it is under the pre-
sent double taxation. There are
other Federal taxes that should not |
be overlooked. Some of them are
really burdensome to persons little |
able to pay. Some of these are the
stamp taxes on deeds, notes, bonds |

SOME FACTS ABOUT DELA-
WARE INHERITANCE TAX

The Editor of the Dover Index
last week prints some facts as to
the inheritance tax laws of Della
ware, which is we'll that the people
should understand. The editor is
a lawyer of standing and experience
so his authority is to be accepted
as true. He says:
"The present agitation about
Federal taxes has personal interest
to but few Delawareans but to
those few it is of serious Importance
because the comparatively few Del
aware payers of taxes to the Fed
eral Government pay a very large
sum each year. The two taxes
mostly referred to are the Federal
income tax and estate tax. The for
mer hits a fairly large portion of
our citizens and these are interest
ed in both the normal and the sur
tax. The latter tax touches but
few Delaware estates since no es-
tate under $4,000 is taxed. Most
Delaware people are concerned
about the latter tax from another
angle. 1t is a form of taxation that
many think should be left to the
States. Delaware has such a tax
called an inheritance tax. Compar-
atively few are familiar with it
however. But recently we noted
in a discussion of it in an editorial
Of a Wilmington daily the writer
showed surprising ignorance. He
spoke of our inheritance tax as a
3olloteral Inheritance tax as it

bile tax paid by every purchaser of
an automobile or truck when he
buys, and some business taxes.
The one Federal tax however that
hits all, but hits the poorer consul
mer hardest because he must buy,
is the tariff tax. We pay this tax
when we buy clothing, machinery
and almost everything else. Bur-
densome as it is we could stand it
with better grace if like other taxes
it went into the treasury to pay the
various expenses of government.
Such is not the case as to the lar
ger part of it. Tariff duties that go
into the treasury are laid on imports
only. Most of the things that we
buy are not imported but we pay
the tax just the same, not to the
government but to the manufactur-
er or producer, who by reason of
the keeping out of the foreign things
is able to take toll from consumers
to.an amount equal to the difference
between the cost of the foreign ar
ticle landed at our custom house
plus the tariff duty and the cost of
the same thing here !
If with everything that we buy |
could have a statement of the price |
without a tariff duty and the addi- |
tional amount we are charged be-
cause of the tariff duty, the COM
plants, and protests against all |
other taxes, Federal income, Fed
eral estate, State income, State in
heritance, county, school, town or
what not would be by comparison

MILFORD HOSPITAL DOING A
SPLENDID WORK
lDeIaware state news

| delaware state NeWS)
The report which appeared in the
news columns of this paper last
week concerning the operation of
the Milford Emergency Hospital
during the period from October IL
to October 10, in which it was tax
ed to its capacity, no doubt came as
a revelation to many Delaware citi-
zens.
Way back yOnder when the Mil
ford Emergency Hospital, like our
own Kent General Hospital in Do
yer, was but a dream, discussed by
many and urged by its advocates,
there were many who believed that
such an institution was unneces-
sary in this section of the State.
"Why hospital in lower Della
ware?" they asked. "There is no
need for one here Hospital cases
are very few and far between and
when they occur we can easily take
the patients to the hospitals in
Wilmington or Philadelphia. Why
if we had a hospital down here it
would be idle and vacant most of
the time, yet the expense of keep
ing it up would go on just the
same"
We all can recall these aTgu- |
ments advanced by hospital Oppon-
ents. But accidents happened, as
accidents will, and patients whose
lives might have been saved by
prompt treatment died before they
reached the hospitals in Whining
on
Brave hearts forced the issue in
Milford. The Milford Emergency
Hospital became q reality, and
ince it's doors opened some years
.go it has been doing a great and
humane work. Seldom has it been
die, but on the contrary, as was
he case during the period covered {
" the aforementioned report, it
as been taxed to capacity. Lives !
ave been saved, suffering relieved, {
lness alleviated. And the good t
rork is going on. t
From this report of the Milford
[ospital, we may gain some idea a
+ the great work that is yet to be v
one in Central Delaware by our
wn Kent Hospital when it is COM S
leted and opened to the public. u
The Milford Hospital has blazed t
le trail in lower Delaware. May t.
S light burn brightly, always. C

MILFORD ROTARIANS BACK
BETTER SCHOOLS
(Delaware State News)

Delaware State News)
It hasn't been so long ago since
the Milford Rotary Club was or
ganized, and if we remember right
ly we stated editorially at that time
that the town of Milford would un-
doubtedly be benefited by having
such an organization in its midst.
Developments of the past week or
so indicate that our prediction hit
the bulls eye. For the Milford Ro-
tary Club has become a very active
agency for good in that community,
and it's decision to get back of a
movement for, better school faci-
lities for Milford school children is
right in line with it's beneficial ae-
tivities.
The action of the Rotary Club in
deciding to work for better schools
in Milford came after the school
subject had been presented to them
in a very forceful manner by DR..
Harry V. Holloway, State Commits
sioner of Education.
At a recent meeting of the Rotar-
ians, DR.. Holloway, at the request
of the organization, gave an inter-
esting talk on "How Can a Rotary
Club Help Public Education" and
in the course of his talk he pointed
out the need for better school faci-
lities for the children of Milford,
and told the Rotarians just how
they could aid in that movement.
The address made a decided i'm
preston and steps are already, un-
der way for the Milford Rotary Club
to launch a move to secure more
and better schools. If it succeeds
in this one purpose, and never ac-
complishes another thing, it will
still have more than justified its
for there can be no
greater accomplishment by an or
ganization of this kind than to pro-
mote the public school system of
our State.
1t is the schools that make our
future citizens, and the future citi-
zenship of our State depends upon
what we make the schools.

WHILE GOVERNOR ROBINSON
has filled the vacancy in the office
of Secretary of State by the ap-
pointment of Miss Fannie S. Her
rington to temporarily fill the office,
it is the general belief that per-
manent appointment will be made
upon the return of Governor Robin
son from California, where he has
been attending the Annual Session
of the National Grange. In announc-
ing the appointment of Miss Her
rington, the Governor stopped
possible wild scramble on the part
of politicians to intercede for their
particular candidates. His absence
from the State has given Governor
Robinson an opportunity to look
over the list of available men un-
molested by the clamor of the poll
ticians. Many rumors flying about
have had several men named as the
possible appointee; but none seems |
so likely as that of former United |
States Senator L. Heisler Ball might |
receive the appointment Senator
Ball last week resigned from the
Veterans Bureau, at Washington,
of which Bureau he has been
member for some months. While 1t
may be a coincidence that the re-
signation came just at time when
his name is being mentioned by
political leaders as possible ap-
pointee, it seems significant that the
resignation should take place at
this time. Should Governor Robin
son appoint Senator Ball to act as
his Secretary of State, he will Sc
lect a man whose public service re-
cord is excellent, a man who while
renresenting the State at Washing
ton acquitted himself in an admir-
able manner, and a man who will
assuredly give real service to the
if named. Of course
at the present time it is only con-
lecture that such an appointment
will be made, but if in his wisdom
+be Governor should appoint L. Heis
Ier Rail. the appointment should
prove a popular one throughout the
state.

IN FILLING THE VACANCY
caused by the regretable accident
which befelI Secretary of State Will
lam G.. Taylor, Governor Robinson
made an appointment which met
with statewide approval when he
named Miss Fannie S. eHerrington
to fill that important office. While
the appointment is of a temporary
nature, it is a fitting recognition OF
the valuable services rendered the
State during the twenty-seven years
that Miss Harrington has served in
the Secretary of States office. There
is no person residing in the State OF
Delaware who is more familiar or
better qualified by years of eXper-
ience to properly manage the i'm
portant office, than is Miss Herring
ton. Those who have come into |
contact with the present Secretary |
of State in a business way have long
recognized her value to the State.
Her knowledge of the Charter laws,
and this rapidly growing business
conducted through her office alone,
makes her invaluable. Years of
training and application of intelli-
gent effort to her duties have
tardy recognition to Miss
Harrington. The Chronicle congrat-
ulates Governor Robinson on his
wise selection, and Miss Harrington
IN her elevation to the most re"
sponsible position in the States
government. r..

NEVER BEFORE in forty years
have the farmers of Sussex county
in the First Representative district,
especially in the part between Mil
ford and the Delaware Bay shore,
so generally posted their lands and
marshes against all cunning or fox
hunting, as they have this season.
The war between the farmers over
fox hunting and the killing of fox
es, has been very bitter for several
years in that particular section, and
the farmers are determined to break
up the fox dens and stop trespass-
ing by fox hunters at all times.

THE FIRST CONVICTION under
the law passed by the legislature in
1921 providing a penalty for the al
tering or defacing of Certificate of
Title of an automobile was had last
Saturday, When Harry Robinson,
cOlOred, of Glendale, plead guilty
to the offense and received heavy
sentence. The State Titling Law is
very plain on this offense and car
ries a penalty for alteration, or for
gerry of these Certificates, of a fine
of $1,000 to $4,000, or Imprisonment |
of from one to ten years, or both.
1t is an easy matter to alter or de- |
face a Certificate, but the guilty |
party is very quickly apprehended.
1t is necessary that the new owner
of car shall take out a license to
operate it. When the Certificate of
Title is presented to the Titling De-
partment with the application for a
license, the Title is Searched be-
fore the license is issued. A dup
Iicate of the Certificate is kept at
he Office in Dover, and when. the
original shows that it has been
an arrest will be ordered
Stanley D. Prouse, Titling Officer,
las announced that the law govern
ng the Titles will be strictly en-
orced, and the Titling Department
has issued a warning advising all
)wners of Certificate of Title to {
hink twice before they attempt to /
make any changes to their titles. {
The 1921 Titling Law was passed !
or the protection of automobile &
'wners, and it is only through the I
igid enforcement of its provisions
hat the car owners will reap the
ull benefits of the law. 1t will be {
veil for those disposed to take q t
hort cut to stop, look and listen g
,efore they resort to the dangerous i
method of altering their Certificate {
he Titling Department has given s
air warning, it is now up to the c
ar owners to use due diligence.
