The Delawareans, members of
the United States Consular Service
have been promoted, it has been
learned, when President Hoover
sent to the Senate the nomination
Of Charles H. Heisler, to be ad-
vanced from Glass to Glass 6 and

The 56th annual meeting of the
Delaware State Grange was held
in Trophy Grange Hall, FELTON,,
yesterday, Tuesday, and continued
today, Wednesday, December 10th,

les of Trophy Grange served lunch
and dinner each day of the session,
in the dining room of the Grange

At a special meeting of Dover's
City Council, William S. Haman,
who has been City Treasurer for
the past IS or 20 years, presented
his resignation to Mayor Wood
ford to take effect at once. Mr.
Haman has been in i'll health for
some time and had resired to re-
sign some weeks back but was
persuaded to remain until the first
of the year when an election of
treasurer would be had. c. Bur
ton Sypherd was elected city
treasurer by Council until the reg
ular election in February.
An appeal has been made to gun
ners to stop the practice of using
road signs and highway warning
signs as targets. The Delaware
Automobile Association erects
hundreds of signs annually and in
some sections many of them have
been shattered by shot fired by
gunners. 1t is gratifying, how
ever, to note that this mean prac-
tice has not developed so far in
this locality, the signs remaining
intact, with no marks of any kind
to mar their bright appearance
and much appreciated usefulness

Club Arranges Bridge at Club House on Pearl Street to Raise

Following it's custom Of the past several years Of assisting in charita- bla work. during the Christmas sea son. the r. ( r. Corhin Girls club will give bridge party al the Cor bin club house on Pearl street, Tues dav evening, November 25, at 8 o'clock. The proceeds will be used 10 aid in Christmas charitable work and unemployment relief.
 Last year sum was raised with q bridge and q minstrel show. and the club boosted the total with 8 generous donation from its treasury. The money was distributed among inc Children's Home Polish Orphan se. Welfare department and other existing charitable orga nizations This year. because Of the increase in unemployment. the girls are rnak- ing extra efforts 10 make this affair q success financially.
 Donations have already been made from the club treasury to the mayors fund and the welfare de- partment's fund and it will not be definitely decided how the proceeds from the bridge party will be dis tributed until 1t is known how much can be raised.

VOTERS AND NON-NOTERS

One of our valuable contributors the other day made q good point regarding the necessity of a larger participatio Of the electorate in the privilege of voting. He declared he was not in favor of a law 10 force people 10 vote, but was heartily in favor of the people being sufficient ly educated to appreciate their obligations as citizens and thus go 70 the polls.
 This scarcely leaves room for dis cussion. Citizens should be educated and intelligent enough 10 join in the verdict at the polls; only there hap pens to be wide diversity between what many of them should do and how they actually perform.
 One IS faced with something Of dilemma upon examining the sta tistics Of voting These invariably show that q fairly large ratio of the most intelligent and educated fail to exercise their franchise. One must conclude, therefore. that education and intelligence Of itself is no guar antee of in interest in politics 10 the extent Of voting
 Our contributor finds fault with US for offering no solution to the problem of non-voting. In this he is correct. Most solutions usually tend toward the oxpedient of suggesting q cancellation of the voting franchise for non-yoters, or a forcing of the reluctant to exercise their rights, either by direct or indirect means. In search for panaCea to cause no per cent voting We confess 10 fall- ure, along with everyone else who has tackled the subject. In spite ot intelligence and education, supposed to be more widespread than al any time in the history of the human race, many people, We think, still permit their emotions 10 guide them when they vote, IL is signiti- cant that the students Of politics the best minds of political technic, unite in advocating 100 per cent voting, while the average person who makes no particular study of the subject seems inclined to ts- lieye he has as much right 10 rc- fraln from voting as he has 10 vote, perhaps thinking it makes no diff ference If he doesn't care for any of the parties or is not sold" on the issue, We arc not certain, but he may at times, he right.

sales tax during the war to increase revenue, but has been lowering the rates and increasing the exemptions.
 If a state has an income tax reaching the well-to- do and not the poor. d sales tax which reaches the poor more effectively than it reaches the rich is just Every ar gument that can be advanced against the sales tax as being a bur den upon one class of society is equally applicable against the in come tax. which also reaches only one class of society. 4 sales tax in a state, however, which has no in come tax law. would be rank legis- lation.
 Back Of the scenery is the self c> Ident fact that realty cannot bear such large proportion of taxes as hav been levied against it within recent years, That is one o, the troubles that has become an issue right in this city. Mayor Quisley's reluctance to permit more funds 10 be expended for even necessary pur- poses, and the criticism levelled al the school depdrtment wheneNe CT there is suggestion made that q new school be built, is predicted upon the premise that taxes on realty is already too high and noth- ing should be done 10 increase them. New York is little ahead of some eastern states by at least making definite effort 10 provide for q more equitable distribution of the tax burden.

 Depressions are always ended by such a process. The only difference between the present one and those which have gone before is that our machinery of production is further advanced and if permitted 10 do so can far outstrip the demands Of consumption in q shorter time than formerly,
