MORE MONEY FOR THE STATE
TREASURY
(From Morning News)

The pocketbook nerves of some
Delawareans are likely to suffer Sc
we're pangs when the State income
tax is due next year. Those to whom
we refer are few of the very rich
who were so pleased by the defeat,
by six members of the legislature, of
Mr.. Pierre S. du Points school pro-
gram. Their pleasure at the defeat
of this measure was because they
feared that if it passed they might
have to pay an income tax to the
State, which heretofore they had
been able to avoid by means of de-
Quoting capital losses from income.
But Governor Robinson has put an
end to any pleasant anticipations
that this state of affairs is to con-
tinue. He has signed a bill passed
by the legislature which prohibits
the deduction from income of any
losses sustained in the sale Of cap
ital assets. So the State treasury is
due to receive some very large pay
ments which heretofore have been
withheld because of this loophole in
the law, and is therefore the gamer.

THE PATIENCE OF MOTHER

A farmer waiting for an interur-
ban car to convey him home struck
up an acquaintance in the station
with another and it developed that
both knew many persons in an Ohio
neighborhood, in which they had
lived many years before.
"And there was old Deacon Jones;
remember him?" asked the second
farmer Of the first.
Eyes, indeed, I remember the Dea-
con very WELL" said the latter.
"I suppose he was the stingiest.
'crabbiest' cuss in the whole com
munity," the second farmer talked
on, volubly. 81 don't s'pose anybody
ever got along with him."

other reminiscently. "I think nv
mother did. She was married to him
for forty years."

A BAD BILL DIES
(From Morning News)

When on April 12 and again on
April 26 we urged Governor Robin
son to veto the bill changing the
filing fee" to "capitation tax" we
did so because we believed he ought
thus to rebuke the Legislature for
it's action in pretending to kill the
filing fee, while actually it merely
changed it's name, though at the
same time it provided for much less
return to the State. While the Gov
ernor did not see fit to go so far as
we suggested, he must, nevertheless,
have been convinced that the bill as
passed by the legislature was not
wise, for he permitted it to die. So
the filling fee" will continue for at
least two more years.

ALL DISCRIMINATION on ac-
count of sex in the employment of
teachers for the public schools, is
forbidden by a law recently enacted
by the New Jersey Legislature;
which means, that women must be
paid the same salary as men doing
the same kind of work in all educa-
tional institutions. That is only a
fair and deserved recognition of wo-
men of ability, and it will become
general in recompense for service
rendered in all departments.

DELAWARE is facing a marked
shortage of prepared public-schOol
teachers, particularly for the rural
schools. 1t was necessary last year
to issue more than one hundred pro-
visional teacher certificates to sup
ply these schools. In practically all
cases these certificates were issued
to graduates of fOur-year high
schools who had received at least
six weeks of summer school train
ing. In plain words, where the sup
ply of a teacher was made by letting
down the bars of standard, the chill
dren were made experimental mater
ial for the teachers to learn how to
a school and at the same
time, teach children almost as well
educated at the teacher. Milford ex-

1T is STRANGE, yet historically
true, that prosperity has been the
ruin of nations. Egypt. Greece, Syr-
ia and Rome all went this route.
There is tendency to overstep, the
finer sensibilities are blunted, ideals
are weakened and stunted. while the
principles of justice and right are
stihed by great prosperity Of ma
tions. When that era arrives and
holds any nation firmly without re-
volt by the people, a nation is dead
and will collapse.

thousands of pieces Of mail fail to
reach their intended destination each
year. All of this can be eliminated
by plain writing of names, street ad-

is to reach. Another annoyance to
others than the party sending the
mailable letter or package, is fail
ure to affix sufficient postage to
carry it to the place where it is in

a money loss in cases where deliv-

letters for publication, or other pur-
poses. The United States Post Office
Department is attempting to create
a nationwide interest in writing ad-

realize that a parcel post package is

THERE is NO LABEL on coun-
terfeit money, evident to the aver
age individual, which designates it
as worthless. Counterfeit money ex-
lists in an inconsequential amount,
but counterfeit credit" the fraud
uIent and other worthless securities,
is widespread. 1t is responsible for
the loss of millions of dollars that
honest, trusting men and women
supply to fraud and bucketshops
yearly.
While most people cannot detect
the skillful counterfeit money, there
is an unmistakeable label on "coun-
terfeit credit" by means Of which
even the most inexperienced can
discriminate between securities that
are backed by sound, stable values,
and those that represent get-rich-
quick dreams and fanciful aspira-
tions. The purveyors of fraud in in
vestment almost invariably deal in
nothing but promises. They can give
no substantial proof of past per-
formance, of actual earnings of the
enterprise whose securities they
sell. These glib promises of over
night wealth are danger signals
which should put the investor on his
guard.
It is the very exceptional case in
which money commands returns of
10 or 20 per cent. In the infrequent
instances where such returns are
certain, the opportunity to invest in
them is not peddled about. 1t is
kept by the chosen few. Money in
vested safely can earn only GER
tain, limited yield, which is gener-
ally around 6 per cent. You would
not pay 10 or 20 or so per cent in
terest for money, or sell cheaply an
in a business you were
sure would yield such returns. If
you have ever borrowed money, you
Know that the bank rate is far less
han that. Honest business, too,
lnows the going wages for money,
ind honest business does not prom
Sc extravagant interest rates, be-
.ause there is no necessity for pay
ng more for money than money is
worth. If men and women would
,ut realize that money has a def
lite earning power and would cease
boxing for impossible returns from
Investments, the counterfeiters of
redit, who harass legitimate busi-
ess and cause enormous losses to
1vestoPs, would have to quit.

Artificial gasoline will be needed

The forei gn chemists are all trying

In Germany, the so-callcd Bergius

dered coal is treated with hydrogen
under high pressure and ut high
temperature.
The result is fairly good pc

The French method begins with
the making Of coke from the coal
in coke ovens just as coke is made
at the present time.
The gases given off during the
process are then mixed with hydro
gen and passed through an electrical
furnace where chemical changes
take place in them.
The process is completed by pass
ing the gases through tubes which
contain number of powered me,

Iowa's political soldier of fortune,
Smith Brookhart, United States SEN
ator, is having the fight of his life to
retain his seat in the American House
of Lords. Nominated at the primaries
as Republican in June 1925, he later
repudiated Calvin Coolidge, Republi-
can nominee for President. At the
November election Mr.. Coolidge car
ried the state by 100000, and Brook
hart after recount by an unbiased
senatorial committee apparently has a
lead over Mr.. Steck, Democrat, abso-
lutely unknown, of 20S. There are
something like 5000 contested bal
lots and upon the final placing of
these ballots depends Brookhart' S
chances of retaining his seat. Ger
tainly it doesn't speak very we'll for a
mans standing in his state when the
head of his ticket carries that state
by an overwhelming majority and the
candidate for United States Senator
has a plurality of paltry few hun
dred. Senator Brookhart's exper-
fence is pretty fair demonstration
that political hypocracy does not al
ways pay.

the President and Congress must, of
necessity, educate the country into
the acceptance of their views before
any legislation of this character can
succeed.
There are large groups of citizens
who honestly believe the Federal
Government can do anything. This
condition does not exist, happily for
all concerned. Some assume that the
coal strike can be settled at any time
by a mere gesture on the part of the
Federal authorities, but this is like
wise an unfounded belief.
D.
A thirty years study of labor re-
lations in the coal industry shows that
the coal business is Fundamentally un-
stable. AS rule, the Government
has conceived that it had no juris-
idction or responsibility except when
armed violations exceeded the power
of the state to suppress in localities
where labor disturbances were report
ed. The Federal Department of La
Dor, through its Division of Mediation
and Consultation, has attempted to
harmonic the differences between
capital and labor at various periods.
There is limitation to its efforts to
reconcile the conflicting claims of
consumer, capital and labor.
1t is doubtful if the Federal Gov
eminent will intervene for several
weeks at least. A severe winter with
traffic congestion, suffering in vari-
Gus localities deprived of coal may
force Congress to take hand in the
situation. The general feeling is to
let the miners and operators negotiate
their own wage agreements. Mean
while, the two factions are engaged
in a pitiless publicity campaign, which
centers around the consumer who,
strangely enough, is unmoved.
r. y
In the Federal Department, con-
siderable activity has been noted of
late in the appropriation of budgets
for the fiscal year 1927. The ap-
preparation bills are the first legisla-
tive measures to be considered by the
incoming Congress, and it reqdres
considerable time for the House APP
preparation Committee to get them in
to shape after they are received from
the executive branches of the Gov
eminent. III Keeping WlCH Tile ITeSl-
dents desire to lower taxes, budget
officers are pruning down the depart
mental expenditures, knowing that
there will be further reductions at the
Capitol. The records show that the
absolute minimum of departmental
chiefs is quite flexible under Con-
gressional pressure. 1t is the old
story of bargaining between the ex.
ecutive and legislative branches.
