WHO WILL PAY THE
RICH MANS TAXES! /!

We are passing to you a portion
of the testimony that was given be-
fore the Senate Committee by Mi.
VIM. H. Stayton.
Think it over and tell the folks
about it.
The lobby Investigators secured
from among the papers of Mr.. Stay
ton a memorandum for a series OF
letters in which appeal was to be
made for money. Each of these let
ters was to contain a distinct argu-
ment in favor of the repeal Of the
18th Amendment. These letters
were sent to selected lists of citi-
zens in various parts of the country.
The following is copy of the mem
orandum, concerning suggestion OF
points which may properly be con-
sidered in the preparation of ser
les of form letters with the thought
of trying to cover the whole subject
in a series of, say, five letters.
q. Irenee duPOnt's statement
that one of his companies would
save $10,0O0000 in corporation tax
if we should have, say, the British
tax on beer
-. In 1914 the brewer paid taxes
on 66,O00,0OO barrels of beer. If we
should have back the right to manu-
facture beer, if we should manufac-
ture Just as much as we did in 1914,
and if we should tax it at the Brit
ish rate, the income would be ST.
32O 900 600, or more than the net
amount received from income and
corporation taxes. Note, too, that
this tax would be practically all net
for it would be a stamp tax and
there would be no scandals concern
ing rebates and no snoopers in bus
mess offices examining books.

the largest score that Blue and
Gold team has run up for many
years. Gallaudet held Delaware to
one touchdown the first half but in
the third quarter Coach Zeigler's
team opened an attack that Gallau-
Diet was unable to check. This
makes two victories for Delaware
out of three games played.
The three games to date have
shown that the Blue and Gold this
year has one of, if not the strongest
eleven, in the history of the sport at
the college. The Saturday game
demonstrated that Delaware has a
powerful attack and the team is i'm
proving each week.
Saturday of this week Delaware
has possibly the hardest game OF
the schedule when they play Rut-
gers at New Brunswick. Saturday of
next week they play SwarthmOre at
SwarthmOre. The next home game
is Saturday, November 8, with Mt
St. Mary's.

"3. If the taxes should be taken
off corporations, there would be a
rise in stock values and all owners
of stock would profit accordingly.
a. l suppose that we might want
to say something to the effect that
a man would save personal income
taxes"
This will serve to explain why so
many rich men have suddenly got
ten convinced that the 18th Amend
ment is all wrong and want to bring
back beer and liquor.
1t simply means that the liquor
barons are fixing a scheme by which
the poor man may be made to pay
the Corporation and Income taxes
of the rich man regardless of the
debauchery that inherently goes
with beer and liquor.
Are you willing to pay the rich
mans taxes and lay that tax on
your boys and girls?

NEWS LETTER FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

Some significant facts are con-
tanned i'm a comprehensive report on
the scholastic standing of students
in Delaware College University OIL
Delaware for the second term end
ing last June, in a report that has
lust been prepared by Dean George
E. Dutton. 1t shows that rs stu
dents had an average for the entire
term of B, or better and therefore
were placed on the scholastic honor
roll.
The average scholastic standing
of the students from Delaware Is
shown to have been better than tnat
of those students from outside the
State which is evidence that the
standards of the Delaware hlSh
schools are improving and that stu
dents from these schools are coming
to college better prepared than they
have been in the past. Or the 10
students on the honor roll 6O were
from Delaware schools and 16 from
outside the State.
There were seven students i'll TINS
group who had an average of A, the
highest average possible and six oil
these came from Delaware schools.
The seven were l. Berlin and D. II.
Goodman from Wilmington; E. E.
Cannon, Seaford; R. L. Harris, New
Castle; F. Nelson, Wesley Collegiate
Institute; F. R. Thoroughbred,
Newark, and P. R. Howard, Catskil,
N. Y.
Delmar High School had the best
average of any school in the State.
There were four students in Della
ware from that school and three of
them were on the honor roll. Other
Delaware schools having students
on the scholastic honor roll were:
Wilmington, 80; Whining g o
Friends, 5; Middletown, 3; Smyrna,
3; Georgetown, Laurel, New Castle,
Salesianum and SeafOrd, 2 each; du
Pont, Lewes, Milford, Millsboro,
Newark and Wesley Collegiate, l
each. Of the Delaware students ~
per cent were on the honor roll
while but 20 per cent of the stu
dents from outside the State were
on the roll.
The report shows that nOn-mem-
bers of fraternities had slightly
better scholastic standing than
those students who were members
of fraternities. Only nine schools in
the State having students in the
college failed to have at least one
on the honor roll.
Organ recitals that are being Civ
en- each Monday evening from 6:45

How many books of from three

vels. books of travel, biography. his
tory, and the like; in other, words
any book other than a special sclen-
tific treatsie, can you read through
without coming upon an unfamiliar
word? Several years ago l began
to make a note of every unfamiliar
word which l came across in my
general reading and to look up these
words in the dictionary. Not one OF
them did l allow to escape. AS the
result of a few months of diligent
study of this kind my vocabulary
was so markedly enlarged that |
could read through any number OF
such books without coming upon an

the ability to read with ready un-
