A bill by Mrs. Rhoda Fox, a
member of the General Assem-
bly,, provides for creation Of a
publicity bureau in the Conser-
vation Department to advertise
every phase of the states at
fractions, both from the point OF
view of the tourist and investor.
The measure would appropriate
100000 for this purpose. This
is community advertising on a
large scale indeed, but is merely
an extension of the regional ad-
vertising idea. Why should not
public funds be profitably ex-
pended for the sake of advertis-

There can be no doubt that
our people are much interested
in state and national taxation.
Here in Delaware a large part of
that concern has ben stirred by
able proposals sponsored by
Pierre S. DUPONT for improving
the present State tax laws.
An enlightening address on
the proposals and on taxation in
general was delivered yesterday
by Attorney G.Dare Hopkins be-
fore the weekly luncheon of the
Exchange Club, the attendance
being large. The time was, of
course, too brief for a very COM
prehensive statement of the pro-

posals, but Mr.. Hopkins rapidly
reviewed them, emphasizing the
high" points. He held the close
attention Of his hearers, who
asked numerous questions.
In many respects the Delaware
law is good and in other respects
it requires improvement. Mr..
Hopkins considered on the whole
the Delaware income tax fairer
than the levies in Pennsylvania,
for instance, on personal proper
ty.
1t is vast subject entire, but
that fact should not prevent our
people from understanding the
main features. And these fea-
lures Mr.. Hopkins made clear.

Every city, town and hamlet has

progress. No city ever gets
very far without the sincere CO
operation Of newspapers. Yet
no institution in a city ever gets
less thanks or receives more
abuse.
Probably no other one thing
is a better index to town than
its weekly publications. Very
often that is about all the

up his mind about a community.
If the newspaper that falls into

Of more than ordinary inter
est should be the national ora
torical contest among pupils Of
the various schools, the general
subject being the Constitution
of the United States. The Phil
adelphia Regional committee has
announced plans. This region
includes eastern Pennsylvania,
Delaware and southern New Jer-
sey. The contest is open to boys
and girls under nineteen years,
who regularly attend any full
grade public, parochial Oh pri-
vate, secondary or high school.
Each grafton is to be based upon
one of eleven subjects relating
to the Constitution. In grading
fifty per cent goes for delivery
and fifty per cent for compost
ton. More than $50 high
schools were represented in this
regional contest last year. 1t is
believed the number will be sur
passed this year. The winners
in the regional contest are enter
ed in the finals. Thus this con-
test is worth attention by the
young folk and their elders also.
During the last few years ora
torical and essay contests Of
various kinds have been fre-
quent. They show drift to-
ward a returning popularity Of
Oratory among the young and
essay writing. For some years
interest Jagged in these subjects
in the schools and colleges. Lit
erary societies lost their attrac-
tion. It was deplorable. But in
terest is being revived. There
are now debating contests be-
tween college teams Of takers.
Perhaps never was the demand
greater for the ability to speak
entertainingly and to the point.
Fortunate is the person who can
express himself and think while
standing and facing an audience.
Every city now has luncheon
clubs and other organizations
which have brief talks at their
meetings. They are desirable
and helpful. Hence a person
training to speak is in demand.
Almost every youth with proper
training could become a fair or

court this measure provided that the putting OF per-
son in jeopardy in the federal court, should be COM

Trial by Jury Not Guaranteed in Nuisance
Contempt Cases; Prohibition Law on
Same Footing as Other Injunction and
Contempt Proceedings

The Chicago Tribune, in editorial September 18th,
1927 lauds Federal Judge Woodrough OF the Federal
District Court Omaha, because he has refused to do
"what the constitution forbds that any Judge shall
do-try person for crime and deprive him OF his liberty
without jury"
The Tribune thinks that Judge Woodroughs decision
Indicates evidence" of awakening resistance to
ruthless disregard of historic liberties manifested
by dry bgotry"
The Constitution does forbid equity trial in in
junction case, or contempt Tor violation OF
injunction Decree without jury. The statement above
quoted about what the judge refused to do is mere
play on words The fact is, that from time whereof the
memory of runneth not the contrary neither under
the English American law, has there been any
right trial by jury in the class of referred to.
This principle has been enunciated by the Supreme
Court of the United States and by the supreme courts
of every state in the Union There isn't any minority
view on the question. There have been many deci-
unfolding the procedure under the sections of the
Volstead law under which Judge Woodrough adudicated
the referred by the Tribune and there has been
unanimty of opinion that the procedure therein
vded is in every way constitutional and that it
petely safeguards all of the rights of citizens.
