PLAN TO SIMPLIFY SCHOOL TAX
Would Eliminate Future Confusion
and Trouble-RepeaI of the Pres
ent Invested Capital Clause Urged

Attorney General Clarence A.South-
erland announced Saturday night that
the State Tax Commission, appointed
by Governor Robinson to study pro-
posed tax legislation has had a num-
Der of bills under consideration and
will hold a meeting within a short
time to discuss them. Special con-
sideration is being given by the com
mission to a bill drawn up by State
School Tax Commissioner Pierre S.
DUPONT. The commission including
Mr.. Switzerland, Robert H. Richards,
City Solicitor Caleb S. Layton, Secre-
tary of State Charles E. Grantland, ,all
of Wilmington, and Henry Ridgely, Of
Dover, will act as an advisory body
to the Governor and the Assembly,
when the bills are introduced. Mr..
duPont's bill, a draft of which has
been placed in the hands of the COM
mission members for their personal
study, is loked upon as model of its
kind, and is calculated to greatly
strengthen and simplify the present
school tax laws of Delaware, and to
eliminate future confusion and troub-
les in levying and collecting the tax
funds. In many features the bill is
not unlike the defeated oil sponsored
by Mr.. dupont in the 1927 General
Assembly. A new feature, and one Of
the most important changes IN the
State tax laws advocated by the bill,
it is learned, will be the repeal of the
present invested capital clauses Of the
present franchise laws of Delaware.
The bill would cause ali Delaware IN
corporated companies TO pay an an

AUTO LICENSE APPLICATIONS
There Will be Rush for New Tags
From Now to January 1st

All applications for new automobile
operators licenses are in the mail ac-
cording to a statement made by State
Motor Vehicle Director William Ball,
head of the titling department The
applications are being mailed to all
persons who held operators or chauf-
feur's licenses this year. The appli-
cation can be filled out by the opera
tor and returned to the department
from where the new licenses will be
issued without having to have them
certified to by a notary public, and by
paying the usual operators fee. Ac-
cording to Administrator Ball, the
early receipts for new licenses this
year will greatly exceed any of the
previous years. The receipts for new
licenses received in November were
$4,000 more than the receipts for the
same month last year. The automo-
bile department expects the greatest
rush for the new plates to start about
December 20. The rush will continue
until after the first of the year. BY
mailing out the applications for new
licenses some weeks ago, the automo-
bile department has enabled a large
number of persons to procure their
same numbers for next year and 1T
the same time getsout large num-
Der of the plates SO that they will not
have to be handled during the rush
period

Confusion Marks
Last.Minute Plans

In certain households you can always
count on a certain amount OF last
minute confusion. Whatever event Is
planned. whether it be preparation for
company. or picnic, or plans for a
Summer at the seashore, or trip TO
Europe, you may be sure that as the
time draws nigh for the event TO take
place there will be twice as many things
to do as time permits easily. Every
thing win 60 along swimmingly and
then the machinery Of the household
viii sputter and snort, and refuse to
run at all just because it Is being forced
to do more than 1t is normally qualified
70 do. You have surely seen just this
sort of thing happen.
One Of the best little cures for this
sort Of iagt-minute confusion is a small
note book and pencil--preferably a
little book, small enough TO be tucked
in your handbag or In an apron pocket.
Well In advance of the event for which
you are planning. sit down quite quietly
and just concentrate all your thoughts
on the things that must be done. Use
your imagination. Picture yourself as
you win 60 through the motions of
making these preparations. II you do
that you will think of a lot OF little
things that are TO be done.
Now systematize these things, putting
down on separate page the things
that must be done on different days or
in different parts Of the day the things
that must be done by telephone and
the commissions or purchases that must
! be attended 10 in town. Don't wait
until the last minute You never can
think things over so well and so fully
II you wait until the pressure OF the
actual event Is upon you.
