MILFORD HIGHWAY
CONFERENCE HELD UP
Scheduled Meeting With Highway
Department Will Be Held In
Near Future.

The committee composed of
Daniel Hirsch, 1. D. Short, E. H.
Bratten, Louder N. Hearn and Will
liam G. Powders which was recently
appointed at a mass meeting in
Milford to confer with officials of
the State Highway Department con-
cerning the proposed RehobOth cut
off east of Milford, have been in
communication with the depart
ment with the view of discussing
the matter. A meeting was scedul-
ed for last Wednesday afternoon at
2.9O o'clock at which time the men,
bers of the State Highway Depart
ment, Engineer Buck and the COM
mittee were to have met in confer
ence at Milford to discuss the mat
ter from all angles. Owing to the
fact that Francis dupont one of the
members of the commission was
called to North Carolina where his
father, Senator T. Coleman DUPONT
is now regaining his health, the
meeting was postponed. It is like
ly that another meeting will be ar
ranged in the very near future, and
that results will follow. 1t seems
to be the desire of both the commits
sion and the committee to approach
the problem in a conciliatory man
ner, and the feeling is very general
that a decision pleasing to all con-
cerned will be reached.

STATE COLLECTS HEAVY
TAX FROM BUSINESS
S1,S22, 1851 Received For First Seven
Month OF Year

Revenue collected in this State
from the incorporation business
amounted to $1,822,361.66 during
the first seven months of this year,
according to announcement made
by the office of Charles H. Grant
land, Secretary of State. The State
obtains the revenue from about one
hundred corporations chartered un-
der the laws of Delaware, having a
capital stock in excess of $1,000, ,000,-
900, with many more having a capi-
tai stock of between $4,000, 900. and
$1OO,00O,00O.
Of the amount collected thus far
this year 1,226, 6,628.46 has been col
lected in the franchise tax, which is
100000 in excess of any similar
collection in the history of the tax.
The amount collected as the initial
fee for Incorporating companies is
$501, 1890 for the seven months,
while the total of other fees collect
ed is more than $4,000. Two hun
dred more companies have been in
corporated thus far in 1927 than
last year.
Most of the most prominent COM
panies in the country have been in
corporated in Delaware. The Gener-
al Motors Corporation has an au-
thorized capital of over $1,576,984,-
400, and is closely followed by the
E. I. DUPONT de Nemours and Com
pany, with $1,500, 100000.

NFANTILE PARALYSIS
in PHILADELPHIA
No Case Yet Reported In Delaware,
But Parents Must Be Careful

Although a false report was cir
culated last week, that case of in
fantile paralysis had been found in
Wilmington, later investigation
showed that it was without fouuda-
ton.
Following the report of the case in
Wilmington, DR.. Davies of the Will
mington Board of Health, gave out a
statement in which he advised the
following:
Get a doctor to the case and keep
all people out of the house where a
case of infantile paralysis is thought
to be. Delay may be fatal.
Besides being a frightful disease,
infantile paralysis shows itself in the
form of a mild diarrhea and the
symptoms are sometimes little heed
ed in the beginning. 1t may take a
month for the infection to manifest
itself.
Infantile paralysis is not contag-
ious but it is infectious, and is not
likely to spread as would scarlet few
er and kindred diseases. The only
way to safeguard children is to pre-
vent visiting sick people at this time,
no matter what they claim to have,
as very often case mistakenly dag
nosed may later prove to be infantile
paralysis.
The cruel thing about infantile
paralysis, said DR.. Davies, is that it
strikes unawares in these days of
motoring, and it frequently happens
that the parents of the child are
unable to tell just where the dread
disease was contracted.

Placing themselves on record as
favoring a revision of the Federal
income tax law, largely reducing
taxation in general, and providing
a more equitable levy, members of
the Delaware State Bankers As
sociation, at their annual meeting
here, yesterday, adopted resolutions
to this effect, that were ordered
sent to the states representatives
in Congress for their action before
the United States Senate and House
Of Representatives
The subject was brought to the
of the meeting by John S.
president of the Security
Trust Co., of Wilmington.
Interesting figures in connection
with the finances of the State were
revealed by Russell Ramsey, direc-
tor of the Taxpayers Research
League of Delaware. Mr.. Ramsey
made an address on "The fiscal
problems of out State government"
which was of unusual interest.
In his talk Mr. Ramsey pointed
out that there has been the amaz-
ing increase in the cost of the State
government in the IL years from
1915 to 1925 more than $6,O0O,OO0.
It was $S4S,OOO, in 1915 and $780,

MARYLAND FARMERS KICK
ABOUT WHEAT DEDUCTIONS
Talbot County Farmers Say Brokers
Make Unfair Allowances

Talbot county, Maryland farmers
are indignant and making threats
over the treatment many of them
have received at the hands of the
commission merchants in the city
who sold their wheat.
What the farmers complains
about is the fact that his wheat was
graded when it arrived and that he
was paid for that grade. He furth-
er complains because the wheat
was cleaned without his knowledge
and that the charges for cleaning
were deducted from his check, but
at the same time was not paid for
the better grade of wheat to which
it was converted, he asserts. Many
farmers have written to the COM
mission men expressing their dis
satisfaction with the result, but no
response has been received. An
other complaint is that after the
wheat is cleaned, the residue is
marked against the farmer and
called shortage. The farmer would
like some credit for this or else
would like to receive the "left-
overs"
No action has been taken by any
body of the farmers or any organi-
cation in Talbot county. The re-
action of the farmers is only to the
extent that he has complained to
the commission merchants. It
seems certain that some action will
be taken in Talbot county, if not in
other counties on the Eastern Shore
where great deal of wheat is raised
and shipped.

INES J.gWHITE KILLED
WHEN STRUCK BYgAUTO
OverbrOOk Man Was On His Way To
Church When Accident Occurred

James J. White, a well-known
resident of eastern Sussex County
who resided near Whites Chapel,
near Overlook, died in the Beebe
Hospital at Lewes early Monday
morning from injuries sustained
when he was struck by an auto
mobile on Sunday morning. Mr..
White was walking to Whites
Chapel to attend the morning SER
vices when the accident occurred.
He was walking on the left of the
highway and was using all diligence
it is said. Frank Whalen, of Lin
wood, Pa, was arrested following
the accident and held under bail to
await the result of the injuries sus-
tanned by the victim He claimed
that he was attempting to pass an
automobile going the same direct
ion and that his car swerved into
the pedestrian, causing the fatal in
juries. Mr.. White is well-known
and prosperous farmer. The ac-
cident was one of several which
proved fatal to automObilists in
Delaware over the Labor Day holi-

10000 CARS PASSED
STATIONS MONDAY
Police Count OF Vehicles Gives
Traffic Picture Of Use To Which
Roads Are Put.
HEAVY TRAFFIC HERE
The Returning VacatiOnists Pass
Through Milford Without Any
Great Inconvenience.

State Highway Police at three
stations counted a total of 1927
automobiles between the hours of
twelve noon and midnight on Mon
day. These cars were mostly travel
ing in a northernly direction and
were taking vacationists home after
the Labor Day holiday period.
The checks were made in New
Castle county for the reason that a
more accurate count could be made
at points where traffic converged
from the lower end of the state
At point on the Glas-
gov highway 4508 automobiles were
counted. These cars came mostly
from the Maryland section of the
Peninsula. On the DUPONT boule-
ward $50 cars were counted, and
at the Penny Hill station, north of
Wilmington, 6849 automobiles were
checked by the counters during
this period. The cars followed one
another in a steady stream and at
times formed an almost unbroken
line for miles. These tabulations
did not take into count
the heavy traffic running from Del
aware to the ferries along the
Bay which took the
travellers to Baltimore and other
points.
At Milford steady stream of cars
passed through the town in both
a nOrthernly and a southernly
direction until late at night. Not
much of the comment
which has been made recently about
a needed outlet to cutoff Milford
no great inconvenience was expert
enced by the automobilists in get
ting through the town. In fact
traffic moved rapidly and without
delay of any consequence. There
seems to be little question, but that
travel will increase each year on
Delaware Highways, for checks
each year show big increases.

HEAR PLEA FOR
FARM COOPERATION
DR.. G. Layton Grier Sees Agri-
culture As Business Backbone
Of Delaware.

Speaking before the annual meet
sociation at Rehoboth last Friday
DR.. G. Layton Grier, of Milford
urged cooperation on the part o.
the State Banking Institutions anC
the farmers. He stressed the fact
that agriculture is the backbone fol
business in the state, and showed
that in this we have fallen behind
many states. He said.
Banks are urban institutions
Bankers generally, have an urban
outlook on life. Many of our bank
ers are landowners, some of them
are farmers; and only a few are
good ones.
Taking the Peninsula as a whole,
we produce our wealth in the coun-
try and we store in the cities. Out
side of Wilmington and a few other
centers agriculture, not industry, is
the backbone of business. Our
financial well-being rides with the
farmer. Annual crop values have a
very decided effect upon deposits
They are also quite frequently the
factors that determine whether or
not city business men are able to
discount their bills promptly. AS
bankers we ride with the farmers;
there isn't a banker here that will
contradict that statement.
This isn't news, since everybody
knows it. And that being the case,
very few people do anything about
1t. Indeed, so far as 1 have been
able to ascertain, the attitude of the
average banker toward agriculture
presents really touching reliance
upon Providence. If the frosts keep
away, the sun shines, and there is a
proper amount of rain, crops will
be right. But if Providence falls
down on the job, there is nothing to
be done; particularly there is moth
ing for the banking fraternity to do.
Perhaps 1 am not talking by the
book. 1 am not a banker. 1 am
only small bank stockholder, and
incidently a poor benighted bank
director. AS such, I have long ago
been taught my place. And 1 real
ize how presumptious it is for me
to speak out boldly in the circles
which Governor Robinson, Tom
Reed or our mutual friend and
president so conspiciously adorn.
However, conviction will embolden
even bank director. 1 have a few
convictions regarding agriculture,
and the bankers proper realation
to it. Those of us who have paid
any attention to such matters, real
ize that during the past twenty
years our agricultural population
has steadily declined. For there
has been ! relative decline even
where there has not been a falling
off in actual numbers. That is, we
have fallen behind the rest of the

May that the deed of trust under

THE Association represents a de-

create an opportunity for the people
of Delaware, as a whole, to more
generally participate in public af-
fairs. The executive committee
hopes, thru the new association, to
establish a medium for the frank
discussion and exchange of ideas
concerning matters relating to the
general welfare, and carry on GER
tain activities, the need for which
has been revealed by the discussion
but which do not come with in the
range of those things which may be
undertaken by the State Govern

activities upon the interest and CO.
operation of the citizens of Della
