1.-THE Nation sends us to war and
taxes us for the support Of the National
Government and naturally on American
principles we are Justly entitled to rep
resentation in the National Legislature
which declares war, expendS the tax
moneys and makes the laws which we,
in common with all other Americans,
must obey. This great representative
republic is based upon just that prtn-
ciple. Those failing to recognize so
fundamental a principle as being APP
plicable to the District residents should
migrate to some country where So
called best citizens" rule and govern
in the interest Of their own kind.
while the granting of these rights
of National citizenship would not
change the form Of our, Nation con-
trolled, local government there would
undoubtedly accrue advantages to the
people of the District through particle
pating as National Americans in Con-
gress and in the choice of the President.

Norris said the agreement included

he advocated q higher Federal inheri-

La Guardia conceded q minority

Neither Norris nor La Guardia would
estimate the number of ProgresSives in
Congress. It Is conceded, however, that
with control in both Houses depending
upon one or two votes, the independents
will hold the balance of power
La Guardia has said there viii be

growth Of the country's airport system
during the past few years. Mr.. Dawson
said. One Of the main purposes OF the
maneuvers this year will be to deter
mine how far the War Department
may depend upon municipal and COM
mercial airportS in maintaining and
increasing Air Corps efficiency by IN
creasing the mobility Of the air forces.
''It would mean little II the Army
had fast and ef1icient fighting planes IL
those planes we're unable to serve their
purpose because of inadequate landing
and servicing facilities" the War De-
partment quoted Mr.. Dawson as say
ing. Bear in mind that all aircraft
is irrevocably tied to the ground and
that behind the fash and glory OF
flight stand efYlcient ground forces and
up-to-date landing fields with eficient
servicing facilities"
The Army Air Corps coast defense
strength is no stronger than the sys-
tenn of airports from which 1t must
operate, Mr.. Dawson said.

SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Mid-Year Examinations Concluded
Last Week and Second Semester
Begins = Basket Ball Sport

The mid-year examinations were
held on Thursday and Friday of
last week. The pupils report
cards, which will have the results
of the exams on them will De out
on February 9th. The attendance
has not been up to our expecta-
tions in the past week. Much of
this is due to Indifference to school
attendance displayed by some of
the parents Children between the
ages of ZIG are required to at
tend school regulations during the
school year-A number of legal
notices have been sent out from
superintendent office notifying
parents of their legal obligations
relative to school attendance. It
is sincerely hoped that the desir-
ed results will be attained without
resorting to legal actions on the
part of school authority.-On Feb
ruary 5, the Smyrna basket ball
teams will play the Dover teams
{
that Smyrna will win these games.
Probably we are not backing our
teams as we should, so let's all
come out and root for them. This
will, no doubt, help them, for you
can always do better when you
know your school is behind you
AS the second semester has begun,
it is up to every pupil to get down
to work, and make higher grades
than in the first semester 1t
won't be so very long before we
will be worrying over our finals as
we did over our mid-year's. Our
recent worry should be a lesson to
all of US, and we know that if we
study throughout the whole year,
there will be no reasons why we
shouldn't pass them mural
basket ball games are being played
every Friday afternoon from 3
o'clock to o'clock, by the pupils
in the Physical Education classes.
1t is hoped that some of the pupils
who play will acquire skill in bas-
ket ball. Let everyone take great
interest in these games. The bank
ing record of the school for this
week is as follows: Amount re-
posted, S7688; number of pupils
in attendance, 638; number de-
positors, 469; or 1875 per cent. The
total deposited to date amounts to
1884 20.

AUTO DRIVERS LICENSE FEE
IN DELAWARE CUT IN HALF
LEGISLATURE CUTS 1T FROM
$500 TO $1.50 PER DRIVER
As a Reduction Was Recommend
ed BY Governor Buck, He is
Expected to Sign Promptly

The signature of Governor Buck
to a bill passed in Dover Monday
by the lower House of the Della
ware Legislature is all that is re-
quired to reduce the fee for auto
mobile drivers license from SO to
S150 with the reduction effective
for the licenses beginning March
1, 1881. The announcement of the
passage of the bill thru both the
houses of the Delaware Legislature
was received by motorists with joy.
Here in Smyrna a number express
ed themselves as being pleased.
/ One farmer declared, on hearing
it, that if the car licenses was re-
duced in proportion, it would be a
+ fine thing for not only farmers but
everybody" No reduction, how
ever, is expected on auto licenses
at this term of the Legislature and
it may be several years before this
comes about. Because Governor
Buck in his message recommended
a reduction in the drivers fee, it
( is expected that he will sign the
bill within a few days. The bill
passed by the House Monday was
Senate bill that was passed in
the House with a Senate amend
ment The original bill introduced
by Senator Van SAINT, was to re-
duce the fee from SO to 81. About
the same time, Representative Van
Solver introduced a bill to reduce
the fee from So to 81. When Sen
ator Van SAINTS bill came up in
the Senate several days ago for
final action, an amendment was
adopted making the fee $1.50
which was compromise between
the Senate and House bill The
House Monday adopted the Sen
ate amendment by vote of q TO
6 and then unanimously passed the
bill as amended Aside from the
recommendation of the Governor,
there has been more or less agita-
tion for reduction in the cost Of
automobile drivers licenses, COM
ing from individuals and automo-
bile clubs.
