Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Elliott, wife
of John D. Elliott, of Lewes, died in
the Beebe Hospital on Thursday al
ter an illness which. has prevailed
for several months. Her death was
caused by a complication of diseases
and her condition for the past sew
eral weeks has been serious. Last
week the physicians advised a blood
TRANSMISSION and a pint of blood was
taken from her husband and trans
fused into her body. A slight rally
resulted for several days after this
effort had been made to save her
life but her condition gradually be-

used. This is an increase of % per
cent.
When one allows for the different
kinds of taxes levied now, the diff
ferent people upon whom they are
levied, and for the different pur-
poses, it is evident that these taxes
are not so great as one would sup
pose.
Taxes are not levied on per cap
tia basis, but they are spent on a
per capita basis. In Delaware, 21.5
per cent comes from the income tax,
tax laid in accordance to ability
to pay; 81 per cent from the inner
itance tax, laid in the same manner
1873 per cent from corporations hav-
ing charters granted by the state yet
not paid by people in the state; and
1872 per cent comes from the use OF
roads, leaving 1874 per cent to be
paid by the average man.
To sum up, the tax increases
have come from corporation char
ters, taxes on wealthy people, and
that portion of the tax for which one
gets a definite return for his mon
ey-automobile and gasoline taxes.

State school tax .........

Total


These receipts are not nearly so
en-. In fact, if the two sets are COM
pared, the receipts for the last two
years are IA times as large as the
receipts seventeen years ago. Ones
first impression is that taxes have
increased enormously. But have
they? To answer this question, we
must ask and answer two more
questions: (1) Are the same people
paying the taxes now as paid them
seventeen years ago? (2) Are these
people paying more for the same
goods and services or getting differ
ent kinds of goods and services than
they did with their tax money in
1910?
In answer to the first question, it
can be said that the people of Della
ware paid only an infinitesimally
small part of the corporation and
franchise taxes either then or now,
and that that receipt can be sub
tracted from both periods. The auto
taxes and gasoline tax are spent for
the benefit of the taxpayer and are
collected from him in proportion to
the amount he uses the roads. Now
he gets something definite for his
money; before, he did not. To make
the year comparable, it is necessary
to subtract highway revenue from
both periods. School taxes paid to
the state are shift in the method
of support of the schools rather
than an increase of taxes. When all
these taxes are subtracted from the
total for 1928, we find that instead
of $532,810 for 1910 and $7,672, 42S
for 1928, the figures are $372,692 and
$2,903,763 - still an impressive diff
ference, an increase of TT fold. But

OF INTEREST TO
CHICK RAISERS

Recent experiments conducted by
the Nebraska Agriculture College
at Lincoln Nebraska on nutritive re-
quirements of growing chicks bring
to light some interesting facts that
should be helpful to the poultrymen
of this state in selecting the kind
of baby chick starting feed for their
requirements this season.
A report of their findings from
bulletin number 3S shows that the
amount of protein content of the
ration has a direct bearing on the
rate of growth and mortality. Par
ticularly interesting is the fact that
the ration containing 20.5 per cent
protein gave almost twice the
growth in six weeks as did the ra-
ton containing 12.5 per cent.

This is an increase of only 1926
per cent. The great majority of this
increase came from the increase of
the receipts of merchants and man
ufacturers because the price level
had increased, not because of the
tax rate had been increased. To
make them comparable, in view of
the fact that everything costs more
now than before the War, the last
totals should be divided by the in
crease of the price level; i. e., the
1928 taxes should be dictated" to
the year 1910. When this is done,
one finds that to compare 1928 to
1911, the figure $43S,9OF should be

THE SOURCES OF DELAWARE
STATE REVENUES AND THE
AMOUNT PAID BY THE
AVERAGE MAN
~SBy NJ. M. Daugherty, Assistant Ag-
ricultural Economist, Agricultural
Experiment Station, University of
Delawarebs

Now that the General Assembly is
in session and there is much talk of
revenues and appropriations, it may
be well to examine the state fiscal
system and see how, and from whom
the state gets its tax money. After
the sources of the states revenues
have been seen, one is in a better
position to appreciate the uses of
that money. The revenue receipts
of the state may be divided into
eight classifications. During the
years just ended they brought in the
following amounts of money:
Average of

Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1929-03-08

This is a lot of money. But as a
tax burden, is it great or small? To
answer this question, it is necessary
to compare it to something. The
state revenues of the neighboring
states would not be comparable
since they are larger and more pop
ulous than Delaware and taxes are
not collected on an area on a per
capita basis. But they can be COM
pared to Delaware's revenues of
some time ago. Using the same clas-
sification as before, the receipts of
Delaware taxes for the fiscal year
ending January 8, 1911, were as fol-
lows:

Summer conventions delegate repre-
sentation is based on numerical
strength.
Birmingham realtors have endeavored
to secure the Midwinter meeting Of
their national organization for several
years, but we're not successful until this
year. 1t was recalled that at all of the
Summer conventions held in the East
or Midwest during recent years large
delegation from Birmingham was al
ways on hand to boost their city.
Having succeeded in securing the
meeting this year elaborate plans have
been made for the entertainment and
comfort of visiting realtors during the
week All arrangements for the con-
vention meeting are handled by the
convention secretary Of the national Or
ganization and all matters pertaining
to hospitality features are handled by
the local realtors.
In addition to Mr.. Miller, local real
tors leaving Sunday for the convention
are B. F. Saul, Frank Bell, Percy H.
Russell and John A. Petty, executive
secretary of the Washington board.

The garden lover is always entranced
by the coming of the new years gar
den catalogue. Whether ne possesses
garden or not, the book always fasci-
mates: but IL there be the smallest bit
Of ground available for cultivation, then
such list becomes Invaluable.
More big fine catalogues are coming
out every season, yet few, If any, sur
pass some that were issued many years
ago. In fact, have one bearing the
date of 1912 that I have never seen
equaled, and always keep close at hand
for reference as to the finest trees and
shrubs. Many of its rare treasures are
not to be found in other lists, and yet
should be familiar to every gardener.
AS in the case of cotoneaSters, of
which speak often. only the best nur-
series catalogue them, for they are still
new to the general public. Yet some
specimens should be in every garden,
and l would recommend an evergreen
on account of its beauty in Winter.
Nursery catalogues prove invaluable in
acquainting us with the best varieties
of old favorites, as we'll as the most re-
Gently tested and approved introduce
tons from all parts of the world.
Moreover, the very finest are pro-
fusely illustrated. so that the buyer
can get a good idea of the general ap-
pearance of a new specimen, and be
guided as to its adaptability to par
ticular spot on the home grounds.
Illustrated tree catalogues are inter-
esting, as well as highly educative, for
surprisingly few people know as much
as they would like to about choice trees.
In many localities only a few native
trees have been cultivated, when rare
varieties from remote parts of the world
under the same climatic conditions
would thrive beautifully.

New Garden Catalogues Form Invaluable
Aid to Those Who Like to Dig In the Dirt

Hardy herbaceous plants usually are
catalogued by themselves and often are
indexed by name, both botanical and
common, with the needed situation, in
sun. shade or partial shade; color. APP
proximate height and season OF bloom
Such a book Is invaluable as 1t enables
the amateur to plan for color schemes,
as we'll as succession OF blooms, from
early Spring to late Fall.
Indeed, such a catalogue just at hand
has one page devoted to Plants for
Special Purposes" and includes Plants
for Cut Flowers" Ground Covering
Plants for Shady Positions" Ground
Covering Plants for Sunny Positions,
plants for Dry, Sandy Soils" Plants
for Moist Grounds" Fragrant Plants, "
plants for Bees" and Grasses for
Cutting"
The same book also includes Ever
green's for Rock Gardens" ANIMALS for
Bedding Plants" and Herbs and Roots, "
which many of us would be glad to
tuck into a corner of the garden, such
as chives, horseradish. hySsop, lavender,
marjoram, mint, rhubarb, rue, rose
mary. sage, tansy, tarragon and thyme.
These all carry thoughts of old gardens
and are we'll worth cultivation for old
memories, as we'll as actual practical
present use, and nowadays give gar
den a mark of distinction.
The list of woodland plants, in an
other section. is equally interesting and
valuable, as many people have a small
spot where little has been found that
will grow, that would perfectly accom-
modate these treasures from the woods.
The usual seed catalogue lists ANIMALS,
biennials and perennials, and thus ac-
quaints new gardeners with the differ
ent kinds, and also gives the informa-
ton enabling the novice to build new
garden so as to provide plenty OF
flowers the first season, while waiting
for the slower growing aristocrats to
reach maturity.
