GOVERNOR BUCK
HIGHLY PRAISES
WOLCOTT'S WORK
Executive Tells Newspa-
permen Of Need Of A
Supreme Court
EXPLAINS CHARTERS
Says Reason Why Della
ware Gets This Business
Is Because OF Fairness

The vital Importance of preserv-
ing Delaware's charter laws and the
establishment of a Supreme Court
were pointed out by Governor c.
Douglass Buck in an address last
Saturday afternoon before the men,
bers of the Del-Mar-Va Press AssO-
citation, which held its nineteenth
annual meeting in the du POnt Bilt-
more Hotel in Wilmington. This,
and the necessity for drastic
changes in the present libel laws of
Delaware were high lights at this
Press Association meeting, which
was not only one of the most inn
portant it has ever held, but one
of the most largely attended meet
ings in its history.
Governor Buck surprised even his
friends by the way in which he
lauded the work and decisions of
Chancellor Josiah Wolcott. Boldly,
he stated in emphasizing his COM
mendation of the Chancellor that he
might be criticized because the
Chancellor is outside of his (the
GOvernors) party.
81 apologize only to the Chancel-
lor," said the Governor, "for the lib
erty I have taken, and 1 would not
have done it but I do feel that our
people ought to recognize the Vul-
nerable position in which the State
actually is as regards its greatest
source of revenue before it is too
late"
The Governor said that if any

CURTIS FOR ADVERTISING
Publisher DiSclOSeS Doubling
Own Annual Outlay TO
$2,000,0O0.

Cyrus H. X. Curtis, presi-
dent of the Curtis Publishing
Company, told 200 members
and guests of the Committee
of One Hundred, a social or
ganization, at Miami, Florida,
that intelligent advertising
will make your fortunes"
Speaking at a meeting of
the committee at the Miami
Beach home of Gar Wood, the
speedboat manufacturer, Mr..
Curtis decried a policy of at
tempting to save expenses by
cutting down on advertising.
"Such is foolish" he said.
Everything that is done is
built on advertising and intel
ligent advertising will make
your fortunes.
"My company, which spent
$1,O0O,OOO last year for adver-
tising, plans to spend $2,0OO,-
900 this year. In a period of
depression we must run as
fast as we can to stay where
we are.
1--WE picked lemons last
year and are selling apples
this year." he added with a
smile.

S2 TAX LEVY FOR
SCHOOLS URGED
BY P. DU PONT
Commission Shows That
10000 Pay And 100000
Are Exempt From Tax
INCREASE IS LARGE
Wilmington Pays GA Per
Cent Of Total Income
Tax In The State

Pierre S. DUPONT, State Tax Com
missioner, renews his recommends
tion that a capitatiOn tax of two
dollars be levied on every adult res
ident of the State, in his annual re-
port covering operations of his Of
flee for the year ended October 81,
last, which has been submitted to
Governor Buck. The report shows
tax collections last year showed an
increase of Al per cent over the
previous year.
Mr.. DUPONT points out in his re-
port that of the total number of
taXables in Delaware about 1900
persons are now taxed and 100000
are exempt from taxation.
For purpose Support of the
public schOOls) in which the eX-
empt are far more interested than
the taxed, 4 more reasonable and
fair appOrtionment should apply"
said Mr.. dupont.
'"This leads to renewed recon-
mendation that capitation tax be
instituted in accordance with the
State Constitution.
"a tax of 50, about one-third or
one-half that charged in the rural
sections of townships of Pennsylva-
mia, would amount to about ten per
cent of the total to be raised from
the income tax. The remaining so
per cent would continue to be paid
by IA per cent of the taXables.
In, a,rnNyidin,r
itation tax of 50, the counties will
be saved the expenses of collecting
this tax but will continue to receive
it,"
During 1890 Mr.. duPOnt's Office
collected taxes totaling $7,055, ,488.04,
which represents an increase of
forty-One per cent, as compared to
collections for the preceding year.
No part of this increase" Mr..
DUPONT said, was due to increased
tax rates and a very small portion
to the collection of delinquent tax
es. General prosperity throughout
the United States as we'll as Della f.

the income year of 1929 accounts !.
for this large return of both the in

cessiOn in values in the stock mar
ket in the last months of 1929 had
no effect upon the revenue during
1880. In fact, taxable income in the
State continued to increase for the
entire year"
The total number of persons taxed
under the Income Tax Law was H.

cent. The total number of corpora

cans show an increase of almost
$14,000,000 for 1880 over the preVi-
Gus year, according to a comparative

classes of payments for the State in
1880 amounted to $46,O84,149 as
compared with $32, ,157,037 in the

For many years Delaware has
been reported by the department as
holding one of the highest per cap
ita payment records of any state in
the country.

come tax payments from corpora
ton returns for the country
amounted to .242,595,792 in 1880

T'EUTON BANKS
OPENED AFTER
THREE WEEKS

BERLIN, Aug. 5-R-Germany's
banks. closed for more than three
weeks as an emergency measure to
stabilize the country's finances,
reopened today for public business
in the atmosphere OF perfect calm.
Preparations made for possible
runs by depositors proved super
fluous ana nowhere did withdraw
ais exceed the estimated volume.
Money freely flowed into banks
here and the same conditions pre-
vailed IN the provinces.
The form under which the gov
eminent plans to place all banks
under state control is not yet agreed
upon but 1t is assumed there will
be supervision similar TO that 10
which the trusts are subjected so
that the government will be N a
position at all times to gauge the
financial situation as a whole.
IN his radio speech last night,
Chancellor Bruening said the gov
eminent had interviewed IN the
cases Of the big banks which were
in difficulties because a multitude
Of the people depended on those
banks. He disclaimed any intention
to interfere with the legitimate
liberty of action Of the banking
business, but said that once the
state had been compelled TO inter
vene II could not withdraw from
the duty Of taking preventive meas
ures for the future.
This was interpreted as mean
ing that he has in mind something
like the supervisory powers operat-
ing in the United States.
