MEETING FOR SUSSEX COUNTY

The semi-mOnthly meeting of the

Georgetown, Wednesday, the 10th
instance, and reports from various
parts of the county indicated that
/ many of the communities are splen-
didly organized and are taking care
of such needs as are coming to their
attention. Visitors were present
from Millsboro, Dagsboro and Reho-
both, besides the sections represent
ed by the members of the commit
tee.
In most parts of the county we
find that the citizens of the various
splendid manner with the welfare
organizations which have been Gre
ated. Up to the present time, how
ever, there are some communities
which have not been represented at
any of the meetings of the commit
tee and just what the needs of these
communities are, if any, the commit
tee has not been advised. The COM
munities which have not been rep
resented at any of the meetings are
FrankfOrd, Selbyville, ROXanna,
Millville. Ocean View and Bethany
Beach. The next meeting of the COM
mittee will be held on Wednesday,
January 6, 1882, anu if the COM
munities mentioned will organize a
Welfare Committee before that time
and have a representative at the
meeting, we shall be glad to discuss
with them the needs of their sever

A most interesting report was re-
ceiyed. from Rehoboth. The organi- |
zation there seems to be most eff |
fcient and is doing splendid relief |
work. The methods they are using |
are original and very effective; and |
we think could be applied success
fully to any community in the coun-
ty. The members of the Rehoboth |
Committee will very gladly advise /
with those of any other community |
who may be uncertain as to the |
method of organizing their |
work. Other sections of the county |
are also doing fine work in caring |
for the needs of their community.

MOTORISTS AND GASOLINE
TAXES

Although motorists have about
decided that it is useless TO war
against the existence of 4 gasoline
tax, which seems to have come to
stay, they are beginning TO realize
the importance of carrying OH an
unfagging war against the eXtor-
tionate rates which are being char
ged in some states.
Every state in the Union now has
a gasoline tax. Only five are as low
as two cents. Only eleven are as
low as three cents. Four and five
cents seem to be the popular rates.
But there are at least five states
with six-cents taxes and one with
seven.
The gasoline tax was first impos-
ed by three western states in 1919.
Rapidly other states climbed on
board. In 1921 thirteen states col
Iected $5,OOO,OOO. Two years later
the total collections were $3S,0OO,-
600. Last year the total reached
$495, 100000
Of course some defense can be
made for the principle of the tax. 1t
is said to be a nequitable way in
which to collect the cost of the
roads from those who use them, in
