Milford, Friday, July 8, 1882

THE IDLE DREAM that Delaware
might become a tax free state, in
state, county and even in municipal
finances, that has been given pub
licity, and possibly has had some
credence given to it in Wilmington,
and in isolated cases in a few places
in Delaware, by citizens who are not
informed as TO financial sources of
revenue for support of public gov
ernment, should read a news article
printed in this issue of the Milford
Chronicle, on authority of the State
Tax Department managed by Pierre
du Pont. In this statement is shown
the source from which the public
school fund receives the greater part
of its money to operate the public
schools in Delaware, and the present
financial condition of that fund at
present and for the next four years,
will fall far below the total required
to conduct the educational system
operating in Delaware. In fact, there
is a possibility, that the revenue may
fail to produce sufficient money, and
the legislature be called upon to
devise a plan for taxation to carry
on after 1885. This is no idle dream,
but a thoroughly impressive condi-
r1TarT III saarr 4 9
fairs of Delaware. The revenues as
to the state treasury, have been mis-
stated by local correspondents to the
daily papers of Wilmington, that
there is a surplus" of millions of
dollars in the treasury, when these
millions do not exist as surplus-for
they are already appropriated for
the schools and other parts of the
state government. True the money
IS in tie treasury at present, but it
for an entire years operation of the !
state. The dream was nice to tickle |
the fancy of those people who do not !
have information as to the source |
from whence the moneys come, and |
upon the lack of assurance that they /
will be any money received from
such sources, when business affairs
fall into the conditions prevailing
for the past two years. This situa-
tion requires deep consideration on
the part of students of financial af-
fairs. Lack of true conditions and
ability to solve the problem, may
bring a heavy load for the people
of Delaware to carry. Stop and be
sure before entering on any policy
will be wise.

"BOGIES" DISSIPATED

1 DULLES Olbk1AL n
MANY bogies that public appre-
hension has created have been dis
posed Of, says the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York, in review
of business for the first six months
of 1882. 1t speaks of fewer bank
closings, and smaller decline in
bank deposits, as two encouraging
signs.
Among the specific bogies to which
this report refers, was the fear that
the drain of gold to Europe would
force the country off the gold stand
ard. Since the leading banks of Eu
rope have withdrawn most of the
balances they carried in the United
States, this drain appears to have
stopped.
The fear of people to spend money
appears to be the principal reason
why business goes slow. But how
are people going to spend money,
if they haven't any work, someone
asks? Such unfortunate folks of
course can't spend, except the meag-
er sums they receive from charity
or from investments. Yet apparent
ly four-fifths of the. people still have
work, and could spend more than
they do. They dread unknown cat
astrophes, and are thereby led to
display excessive caution.
If some development could occur
that would make the business skies
seem bright, business would improve
at once. Million of people who are
spending less money than they can
afford to, would buy the marvellous
merchandise bargains now offered.
They would also buy stocks and
bonds, the security markets would
rise, boarded money would flow
back into the banks, the factories
would start up.
If the business and political lead !
ers can so act as to create this more /
hopeful feeling, the impetus for re-
vival will be provided. Let us all
cooperate here in Delaware by re-
fusing to be depressed by imaginary
fears, and by looking on the mighty
industrial power of our country,
which is not goin gto be conquered
by morbid imaginings.

CARING FOR THE HOME

There are countless people who
expect to spend an hour day,
many of them much more than that,
IN getting ready to appear in public.
Not many people nowadays just
jump into their clothes, without CIV
ing some care to cleanliness and
neatness, and in the case of women,
to personal adornment. They feel
the time thus spent is we'll repaid
by the better standing they obtain
in their work, or among their
neighbOrs.
But lot of these same people will
give no care to their home places.
Thereby they appear to their neigh
bors much as if they went on the
street after the most careless and
shabby dressing. The neglected home
is as discreditable as the neglected
personal appearance.

LEATHER LUNGS

To appreciate the phrase Leather
lungs" you have to listen to the po-
litical orators addressing some great
meeting like the Chicago conven-
tions. The average person with the
feeble little pipe produced by his
slender throat, marvels at those SUI
perb booming voices that fill great
hall and echo over the radio.
The possession of such voice has
helped to lift many a man into high
politics. If in addition he can talk
i'll a plausible and effective way, his
future is made. Keen political intel
lects and superior organizing pow
ers have often fallen down, because
the possdssors thereof had no lung
power. If you want to get on in
politics, don't forget to consult your
throat specialist.

HOME TOWN ENTHUSIASM

The boys will give the most en-
thusiastic effort and support to their
home town or school athletic team.
The players are willing to undergo
long hours of practise, to deny them
selves many pleasure and indulg-
ences, to enable them to play win
ming game, and they root and cheer
for the home team without limit.
Now if people would only work
and root for their home town in the
same enthusiastic way, the difference
would be marvellous. Many things
that remain undone for years, would
be accomplished in a week. Obstacles
that seem to thwart progress would
vanish over night. The town would
gain such a reputation for achieving
spirit that the brightest type of peo-
pie would be attracted to it, and the
town would graduate into different
class of communities.

COOPERATION WORKS

"Can cooperative marketing OF
farm products be made to work sue
cessfully?" asked Alexander Leggel
former chairman of the Federal
Farm Board, recently.
He answered his own question
with an emphatic, Yes. Long before
there was a Farm Board the Cali
fornia citrus fruit and walnut grow
ers were achieving success through
cooperation. Now thousands of CO.
operatives, large and small, with
millions of members, have been es-
tablished and are gradually work
ing out their difficulties.
Cooperation is simply a matter Of
intelligent self-interest. That type
of independence" which prevents
farmer from joining with his fell
lows to better the common lot be-
comes, eventually, a synonym for
bankruptcy. Many things have con-
tributed to the present plight of the
farmer-and one of the most i'm
portant of these has been the refus-
al of a multitude of farmers to
adopt modern methods of coopera-
tive selling.
Every Individual farmer is respon-'
sible for the rise or fall of the CO.
operative movement. Success or
failure depends upon his loyalty to
the cause-or his lack of loyalty.
Time after time the cooperatives
have demonstrated that they alone
can save the farmer from ruin-and
the future of agriculture lies in
their hands.

SELF GOVERNMENT

The American people have been
undergoing training for self govern
ment for $50 years. Many of us do
not consider they can pass an eX-
animation in that science even yet.
Considering the freak things they
often do at the polls, a large part
of them are still in the primary
class. And the assumption that self
government is an easily acquired
business, seems unsophisticated, af-
ter everything we see in politics.
A new constitution with a demo-
cratic form of government, has just
been granted to the people of Siam.
They are to have a dictator until
such time as the people have been
educated to govern themselves. If
one were to judge by results in the
United States, 10 one living in Siam
Will ever see that day.
The theorists once thought that if
a country could merely gain the
blessed experience of self govern
ment, its problems were solved. The
sober wisdom and prudence and
moral sense of the people would
abolish wrongs and protect life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happiness.
But viewing modern politics, the
skeptic of today says 20 yeah, when
he hears that line of thought.
Democratic government in the
United States has not been a failure.

20:

THE POLITICAL BALL has start
ed to roll in the United States, and
will continue to excite the people
until after the November elections.
The Republican party has placed
before the country Hoover and Cur
tbs, on a platform that is discussed
pro and con from the states, with
every indication that the country
will not break away from its politi-
cal moorings as it did in 1916. With
the state campaigns approaching a
heated condition will grow rapid and
result in settlements which will
strengthen party fealty. 1t is time
now to think over the situations, and
this applies to all the people re-
gardless of political affiliation. There
will always be the radicals in po-
litical affairs to deal with. The men,
such as Senator Borah, Senator
Johnson of California, and Senator
Norris of Nebraska, who have been
sore spots for years, but don't worry
they can do nothing more than they
have in the past.

BE SURE AND REGISTER THIS
YEAR

Do not forget that you must reg
lister this year if you desire to vote
at the primaries and the general
election.
Furthermore, do not forget to
have your names put on the regis
tration books at the first opportun-
ity.
If anyone tells you that the reg
istration of past years is permanent
and that if you registered last year
you do not have to do it again this
year, disregard all such information.
You do have to register this year,
all advice to the contrary notwith-
standing.
There will be five registration
days, three of them before the par
ty primaries and two of them be-
tween the primaries and the Novem-
ber election.
July 16, August 6 and August II
are the three pre-primary registra-
tion days. The two other registra-
tion days are September II and Oc-
tober %.
Cut the above paragraph out and
paste it in your hat as a daily re-
minder of your duty.
After you have registered this
year you will not have to register
again until 1886, the next Presiden-
tial election year.
The permanent registration was
abolished by the last Legislature,
and registration every Presidential
election year was substituted for it.
Don't lose your vote! Register
early and thereby ensure the safety
of your electoral franchise.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
at Chicago was certainly enthusias-
tic, and had skilled politicians pilot
ing the proceedings. In the nomina-
tion of Governor Roosevelt of New
York for their presidential candi-
date and Speaker Garner of Texas
as Presidential candidate, and
adoption of a radical wet plank in
the platform, the. Democratic party
of the United States starts its cam
paign under most voluble, if not en-
thusiastic auspices. With many
thousands of voters refusing to sup
port the prohibition platform of the
Democratic party, the most sturdy
states in the Democratic column,
may become doubtful, and the same
condition, of course, applies to the
Republican party; but after few
weeks the enthusiasm of convention
activities will have passed, and the
conservative voters will have
thought the situation over from the
moral standpoint. The Democratic
party has labored nationally, but,
with the states carrying more i'm

Lovely Modern Pent House Dressing Room

AN attractive modern use OF color
and lacquered fabrics is illus
trated above in a picture of a re-
Gently designed dressing room in a
New York pent house. Hugo Gnam,
Jr., the designer, has created a
quite unusual room in the new
manner. The walls which have
a painted floral motif are covered
in silver-white muralart, the deco
ration being carried out in robins
egg blue, cerise and touches of
green and white. The ceiling is
painted white and the rug is ivory
in tone. The dressing table con-
sists of two cabinets lacquered
white and a large round mirror.
Milford chronicle., 1932-07-08

The drawer pulls and mirrored
shelves are in cerise lacquer.
White fabrikoid draperies trim
med with knife pleated ruffles OF
cerise are hung on a glass rod OF
white chromium fittings. The cur
tains are silver white net. Silver
and cerise outline the white Dress
ing bench which is upholstered in
white moire.
This combination of colors and
materials creates a frankly sophis-
ticated room in the modern decora-
tive manner and seems an excellent
example of how anyone's individual
desires can be developed quite cas-
lily into a room that is distinctly
expressive of the owners whims.
