Agitating a Change

Petitions are being circulated in
Grand Forks calling for an election
to determine the wisdom of return
ing to the aldermanic system of gov
eminent. The Grand Forks City
Taxpayers association is sponsoring
the movement. It's members declare
that the commission form of govern
ment is largely responsible for
mounting taxes and extravaganza in
the operation of the city's business.
They believe that an aldermanic form
would be more responsive to popular
will.
w. H. Alexander, president of the
association, in recent address before
joint luncheon of the service clubs,
cited some very significant facts rela-
tive to city government costs under
commission form.
We quote from his speech as re-
ported in the Grand Forks Herald:
Turning to taxes in the city of
Grand Forks, the speaker said
the taxes levied in 1910 were
$4,000, when the city had a pop
ulatior of 12,478: in 1920 they
were $l68,161, with a population
of 14,0l0; in 1880 they were s244,-
1913 with a population of TITS,
vvy1; iv,
with population estimated at
1880.
He set at s734,474.7l the total
amount Of taxes levied in the city
by all taxing bodies, divided as
follows: City, 1882 1892: schools,
S273 1885: parks, $28,O6827;
county. $l00,915.23, and state,
:49,34794.
Mr.. xander challenged
statements concerning reduction
of taxes in Grand Forks, declar-
ing that certain charges such as
paving. sewers, engineers supplies
and other items had been sharply
reduced, marking decrease of
$65,900. whereas the budget ap-
preparations for other operating
purposes, he said, had been in
creased $15,72O."
Grand Forks experience is that OF
practically every city in the United
States. City governments have been
beset by so-called experts and eff
cheney engineers. Faddists have been
given all the rope they needed and
they have developed municipal
racket which is draining the taxpay-
er's pockets and confiscating his
property.
Many extravagances have been per-
petrated under the guise of educa-
ton. The school system holds
great power over the home and voters
generally have given the various
boards what they asked. 1t is evil
dent now that with the pinch, school
budgets are being examined more
closely and questions are being asked
which are not always easy to answer.
The people are beginning to debunk
some OF the educational propaganda
There is a long road still to go, but
incidents such as the Grand Forks
inquiry into the commission form of
government are healthy trends.

Another st. Lawrence Link

The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence wa
terway made another important gain
toward completion yesterday when an
order in council was signed by the
Canadian government at Ottawa ap-
proving the general plans of the
Beauharnois water power, which con-
templates the development of half a
n1illion horse power.
Private interests will develop the
canal connecting Lake st. Louis and
Lake st. Francis, distance of IA
miles. In developing water power,
the concern will create a waterway
which 1t will turn over to the govern
Ipent as part of the price of the

For Stealing Chickens

Ten lashes given on Saturday
morning at the new Kent County
Jail at Dover to Harrison Scott, ne
gro, for stealing chickens, under a
recent sentence by Judge Harring-
ton, were the first which have been
administered to a prisoner in Kent
county for ten years.. 81, =
The whipping took place at the
new Jail and was witnessed by about
200 persons. Sheriff Austin D.
Smith applied the lash Also for the
first time in Kent county a CATO
was used, it having been
made for the sheriff. In
the past a rawhide whip was used
for the whippings in Kent although
the cat-o-nine-tails was used in New
Castle county.
During the past ten years prison
ers sentenced in Kent to be whipped
have been lashed at the New Castle
County Workhouse as they also serv-
ed the prison terms there. Appar-
emily all prisoners sentenced in this
county in the future will serve their
time in the new Jail. A whipping
post was erected when the Jail was

Only One-ffth OF That
Which Some Claimed
Had Been Used.

A fiat contradiction of all stories
set atioat by political opponents, at
tacking the Better Government
League of Delaware for its efforts
to bring about reforms in the admin
istratiOn Of public affairs, has been
made by the Executive Committee
of that organization. These denials
are in the form of an open letter ad-
dressed to the members of the
League and signed by Ralph b. Nc
Kinney, its chairman.
The most striking statement made
in the letter is the contradiction of
the grossly exaggerated reports of
the amount of money spent by the
League. This statement shows that
instead of the 100000 which Op-
pOnents have been declaring the
League spent in Sussex County
alone, the actual figure as revealed
is only One-fifth of this amount for
the entire State.

In the two months just ended bust

in the four months period from
March to July. Practically all rec

recorded a sharp advance for Sep
tember and the Consolidated Index

This advance, representing more
than a seasonal improvement, far
Outweighs, in the opinion of many
authorities, the uncertainties usually
incident to the national election, and
ustifies the belief that this better

In support of this forecast, the eco

now existing in the money market.

tured arm, a broken rib and con-
cussion of the brain On Tuesday

More than 800 persons visited New
Castle on Sunday as part of the cele-
bration of the 250th anniversary of
the landing of William Penn which
is being celebrated concurrently in
Philadelphia, Chester, New Castle
and several other towns along the
Delaware River. Gray, lowering
skies are believed to have cut down
the number of visitors but those
who came were greeted on the plaza
of the old Court House, the oldest
still in use in the country, by Mayor
Bankson T. HOlcOmb and a commit
tee of prominent citizens. @
The visitors arrived from Phila-
delphia and Chester where they had
taken part in similar celebrations
and visited the many points of inter-
est in the various cities. The visi-
tors visited the mayors office and
then inspected the old court house
and commented on its architecture
and remarked on the excellent state
of preservation. Another point of
interest was old Emmanuel Episcc-
pal Church where they were greeted
by the rector, the Rev. Joseph Hol-
land carp. On display in the church
were the silver service which, with a
silver tankard and challice were
made by Simeon Saumain, a Phila-

the church in 1710 by Sir Charles
