MORE THAN 80 MILES ROADS
BUILT IN DELAWARE THIS YEAR
DELAWARE HAS ONE OF BEST
HIGHWAY SYSTEMS IN COUNTRY
Revenues Increase to About $12O,OOO
Gasoline Tax Shows Big In
crease Over the Past Year

More than fifty miles of roads have |
been constructed by the State High
way Commission during the year, ac-
cording to Secretary |. Paul Jones of
the Highway Commission This figure
represents the major part of the
building program planned at the first
of the year and construction work is
now virtually completed. On October
l, the commission had completed con-
struction of AZ miles and has made
considerable progress during the
month. Several weeks remain during
which it will be possible for the road
building work to go on and a full
force of workers are being kept busy
on the task of finishing the big pro-
gram. The completed program will
be in excess of so miles. The COM
mission is already at work on plans
for the 1926 program. This is ex-
pected to be considerably larger than
that completed this year. Acting
Chief Engineer Mack will present
plans and recommendation for the
1926 program to the commission some
time during December. A progress
sive and enlarged road building pro-
gram is made possible by the increas-
ing revenues which 90 to the commits
sion for highway construction. These
revenues are expected to net an in
crease of about $120,000 for the year
over the 1925 returns. Up to the first
of this month the state had received
$4,000 more in fees from licensing
automobiles than it had estimated on
for the twelve months of 1925. Dur
ing October, November and December
of 1924, the state received 1000 in
fees from licenses and if this record
is duplicated during these last three
months, as seems entirely possible
then the total from licensing cars
would total $4,000. Highway Com
mission officials feel it will be more
In gasoline taxes the Highway Com
mission estimated on 100000 for the
twelve months. Up to the end o
September the state had received
| $285,000. During the last three
months of last year the state receiv
ed 100000 so that if this was adde,
to the $2S5,OOO it would total 1884, 900

license fees and gas tax than last
year. Many think the total increase
for this year will be closer to $780,
600. From now on until the commits
sion decides upon next years road
work, applications for highways will
be pilinG up upon the department. Up
until the last legislature the engineer
of the commission was directed to
submit plans for roads to the com
mission at the end of each year. AS
a result Of amendments to highway
legislation made by the last legisla-
/ ture, the engineer may from time to
time submit plans and specifications
which practically makes it possible to
prepare for roadwork. But Engineer
Mack will by the end of this year have
many tentative suggestions to make
to the commission concerning roads
to be constructed next year.

TO FIGHT INCREASE IN RATES
Farm Bureau Opposed to Attempt to
Boost Cost Eastern Shore Shipments

Farm Bureau Opposed to Attempt to
Boost Cost Eastern Shore Shipments
The Maryland Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, through its secretary-treas-
urer, NJ. Melvin Stuart, in cO-opera-
ton with the Salisbury Wicomico
Chamber of Commerce, of which w.
T. Gardner is traffic manager, and the
county Farm Bureaus Of the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, for the second
time within a few months has enter
ed a fight to prevent an increase in
freight rates to points on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
ginia. Some time ago the tranSpor-
tation lines serving that territory filed
supplements to its tariff of freight
rates proposing an increase in all its
class rates. Recently these carriers
have, thru the Truck Line Association,
asked for an increase in the cOmmun-
ity rates as affecting petroleum and
petroleum products to points on the
Eastern Shore. This latter increase
has been passed by the association
and by the general freight agent of
the Pennsylvania Railroad with utter
disregard for the protests that were
made. Both of these cases are now
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and a hearing on the class
rates case was held in Salisbury, Md,
on October 18th, when representatives
of the various Eastern Shore County
Farm Bureaus were present to testify.
The supplement docket has been sus-
pended by the l. C. C. until January
20, 1926 Attention is being called by
the State Farm Bureau Office to the
fact that both these proposed increas-
es in the cost of producing farm crops

Dear Brothers: We wish to inform
! you of the great success of the Labor
Defense Conference in forming a new,
broad organization-the International
Labor Defense. The Labor Defense
Council has merged into the Interna.
tional Labor Defense and turned over
its apparatus, etc, to it; but has been
only able to turn over a few hundred
dollars, because of the $4,000 expenses
for the Pittsburgh and deportation
cases, in the month of June.
We need not, of course, point out
the immensely increased needs of the
International Labor Defense for funds
to issue literature, membership sup
plies, etc, and at the same time to
meet defense and prisoners aid ex-
penses, for ALL class-war defendants
and prisoners.
About month ago the Labor De-
Tense Council sent S24.O0 worth of
Defense Coupons to many hundreds Of
workers organizations in order to
raise sufficient funds for the defense
OF the Pittsburgh case of Fred Mer-
rick and nine others, and for such de-
portation cases as those Of vajtauer.
zinich, Kannasto, Lassen, Severino,
Schedel, etc. These cases will along
with many others. be handled in the
future by the international Labor De-
Tense. The workers must defend them.
and the many others.

FASCIST KILLER
De BONO GIVEN
Job AS REWARD
Senate Admits Crimes
of MusSOlini Aid

ROME, italy, July e.-senators de
Bono, who, evidence showed, aided in
the murder Of the socialist deputy
Matteottl, has been appointed govern.
or Of TripoII, the Italian territory In
Africa. The appointment comes i'm
had whitewashed de Bono, and issued
a statement apolopizing and making
excuses for his crimes. The commits
sion, Of course, was composed Of ia.
seist members. aaf
The senate statement admits the
charge that de Bono received com
mission" of 100000 lire on the sale Of
government war material, but claims
he donated this money to the fascist,
and was therefore excused.
Allowed Killers Freedom
The commission admitted also that
the fascist assailants of the opposition
leader AmendoIa calmly proceeded to
the militia barracks unmolested by
police, but declared they "could not
prove" that de Bono, as police direc-
tor, was responsible for the crime.
1T should be remembered" the SEN
ate states, THAT part Of the blame
attributed to de Bono may be explain.
cd by his lack OF necessary prepare
ton for the important Office with
which he was suddenly invested"
The senate also admitted that de
Bono had taken the Matteotti case out
OF the hands of the police, when the
evidence piled up that the fascist lead
ers had ordered the murder, but de-
clared this might have been due to
his zeal in tracing criminals"
Forged Passports
1t was admitted that the fascist Du-
mini, who is charged with the actual
killing of the socialist deputy, was
furnished with a passport under a
false name and date, the date, being
falsified to make it appear that the
passport was issued before de Bono
became police Inspector. But it was
declared that de Bono was not per-
sonally responsible" Vo
Donati, the opposition editor who
made the accusation against de Bono,
was forced to fee the country when
the fascists declared they would kill
him.
De Bono was formerly head of the
fascist army and directed the march
on Rome.
