NO REDUCTION YET In
STATE INCOME TAX
House Members Reported In Dead
lock On Bills 70 Ail TaXables

At a time when Delawareans are
required to file their State income
tax returns and in many instances
pay that tax, members of the Legis-
lature are in a tangle over two bills
designed to benefit taXables of the
State.
Because of the pending bills, eth
er of which if enacted would bring
about a material reduction in State
income taxes, hundreds of Delawar-
cans have been delaying filing their
income tax returns and paying their
tax, they hoping the Legislature
would do something definite in the
way of relief before Monday next,
the last day for the payment of such
taxes.
Governor Buck i'll his biennial
message recommended a rebate of
fifty per cent in State income taxes
based on returns for the calendar
year 1880, and Representative Tat
nall introduced a bill to legalze
such a rebate, which rebates in flu
ture years based on the estimated
revenues and expenses of the State
government. That bill was reported
favorably several weeks ago, but
has not been called up for action in
the House.
Representative Virden introduced
a bill to apply the exemptions al
lowed under the Federal income tax
law to the Delaware State income
tax, and this bill also has been re-
ported favorably but has not been
called up for action.
1t is understood that there is
deadlock between the House men,
bers over these two bills, and that
neither would have chance at pas

THINKS DRY LAW
FAIR TRIAL.
Former Congressman Will
liam H. BOyce Addresses
Fact Finding Committee

Believing that encouragement has
not been given to the enforcement
of the prohibition law but rather eX-
tended to the bootleggers, former
Congressman William H. Boyce, OF
Dover, speaking last week at the
first meeting of the Wilmington Fact
Finding and Law Supporting Com
mittee, said prohibition has not had
a fair trial.
Mr.. BOyce in his opening remarks
said, I'VE must stand firmly and not
yield to the influence which would
remove the ban of outlawry from in
toXicating liquors and set back the
advancement and improvements at
tanned in the last ten years"
The present issue, he said lies be-
tween a continuation of outlawry of
Intoxicating liquors and the legaliz-
ed manufacture and sale of liquors.
He said the purpose of the fact
finding committees is to arouse pub
lie sentiment against the return of
legaliZed manufacture and sale OF
liquors and that legaliZed sale of
liquor can not be regulated to any
harmless degree. In part he said:
'No substitute for prohibition has
as yet been suggested that does not
carry with il restraints upon per
sOnal conduct and against person
al liberty the matters so much ur-
ged by opponents to prohibition. No
as yet proposed will OBJ
Viate the evils of unlawful manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors,
or prevent bootlegging, or remove
the many evils now complained of.
1t is believed that those suggestions
are obvious to most all of our peO-
pie.
"Alany of the most vigorous Op-
ponents to the 18th Amendment and
its enforcement, personally know
very little about the evils of the for
mer legalized liquor traffic under
various regulatory systems, because
they are either not old enough or, if

SHAD FISHERMEN
GET NETS READY
Season Opening March TO COntin-
( ne In Delaware Until June )

~ Shad fishermen are getting their
seines in readiness for the season.,
and if weather conditions continue
like they have been for the past
two weeks it will be but a short
time before shad will be making
their way into the lower Delaware
streams.
Already a few have been caught
off Slaughter Beach, a resort on the
Delaware Bay. The shad industry
within recent years has meant much
to the fishermen, because the fish
have been commanding good prices,
retailing as high as $1.50 for roe.
The leading fishing grounds in this
section are the Delaware Bay, Nam
ticoke River, Indian River and the
Indian River Bay. The season open
ed the first of this month and will
close on June 5. The sturgeon sea-
son is the same as the shad season.
The shad season in the Delaware
Bay and Delaware River is five days
longer than in the inland waters.
One of the leading streams for
herring is the Indian River. al
though large quantities are taken
from Herring and Guinea Creek, all
in the Indian River District. The
season for herring opened March I
and will close June 10. There is no
closed season on sturgeon in the
Delaware River and the Delaware
Bay.
There also is no closed season oD
carp in the Delaware Bay and Riv-

cap the woman who uses Canute Water.
This is clear, spring-like water,
of wonderful properties which actual

color. No complicated color plan" no
danger of getting brunette shade when
your hair is blonde. Not only the one
kind but the one bottle is enough. 1t
really Is surprising what successful,
youthifyng results it gives.
Apply Canute Water yourself, in the
privacy of your own home. Many won-

they simply do not mention it. You
