No decision has been reached on
liquor taxes and the administration is
considering a Joint collection of liquor

GEORGETOWN, Del, November 90.
1t still was a major crime to be
newspaper man on the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland today.

out of Salisbury and surrounding COM

following the evacuation Of Salisbury
by the Maryland National Guardsmen.
Most of the press representatives ex-

to be seen lest they be beaten or other
wise abused.

We Win Some Support

Some days ago this writer commented on the fact that insect pests in this nation were rapidly multiplying. We advised emergency efforts to control them. We also men. tioned the fact that down at the Gettysburg National Military Park many of the old hiekories had been felled by borers of recent years and that bullets fired during the great Civil War conflict there were found inn bcdded in the trunks Recently glaneing through selected editorials we noticed anothe. editor of the same mind as we are, namely. that extra efforts should be made to prevent the spread of these pests throughout the nation.
 He said in part, Insect pests are getting to be a serious problem in this country. They start mysteriously in one section and march ruthlessly forward in spite of human efforts to stop them The corn borer, once it began its travels, could not be stopped by state quarantine, burned fields or anything elS. The tree borers have been expanding their territory rapidly of late. Here is battle well worth fighting, not only by planting more trees but by continued research into the life habits of the pests and the adoption of methods to get rid of them.
 This last bit of advise is particularly well taken, we think True there are many tree and vegetable pests now ravagng the countryside of which We have little or no practical scientific knowledge. As result we know of no really good method of ex- terminating them or checking their pro- sress. But we do know how to break up the inroads of others, And we have some means of keeping them in check during the bearing season. In cold weather the pests are usually dormant. But to prevent trees dying off completely, just as the chestnut died in northeastern United States we must spend lot of money.
 That's why we believe that in addition to a conservation corps trained to plant trees and to protect them from forest fires. etc, we should equip every such unit With the most modern means of coping with all the known tree pests that may infest the partie' xlar locality. We have tried quarantines with little good effect. That may have been partially due to the fact that Uncle Sam didn't want to spend as much money on this work as he really should. Only by spending millions can we hope to save mil lions in the future For if other native trees disappear as rapidly as did the chestnut, then we surely are face to face with situation that is fraught with grave danger. tree less country is not a pleasing one. land where vegetables fall prey to the insects ot the air is not inhabtable That's prospect we face. We're not exaggerating one bit.

Elect the Whole Ticket

The office of Mayor is naturally looked upon as the most important one to be filled at the coming election. And of eourse it is. But it is also very important that other off. eials who are sympathetic with his policies be chosen also. The City Clerk, the Comp troller and the majority of the Board of Aldermen. these arc offices also of which the ineumbents have great deal to say as to the policies of the City and especially its fl. naneial.operations.
 Mayor Hayes cannot do his best work if he should have elected with him officers in other departments who will try to hamper him. Nobody could. The City administra- ton must operate as a unit to accomplish the best results. Our present city officials are experienced and capable and should be re- elected along with Mayor Hayes. What could possibility be gained by substituting >he re- publican candidate for Town Clerk for the experienced and courteous present ineum-' bent, Miss Dora Egan9 Or by the substitution of the republican candidate for Comptroller Leary3
 That is why, especially at this time. straight ticket should be voted. In these trying times our administration must be unit with faith and confidence in one an- other. No, divided responsibility ever works well. It is highly important to elect the whole democratic ticket.

pork when millions are in need of clothing and food is precisely similar to letting great factories lie idle when millions need the things that those factories can make. If it , is absurd to reduce agricultural production. it is equally absurd to reduce industrial pro- duction. The farmer is as much capitalist as the factory owner. If the factory owner cannot be expected to produce more than people will buy at a price which yields profit. neither can the farmer.
 But stating the parallel in this way does not really get us. anywhere. It simply shows how fundamental these objections to the farm program are: how far they reach, into the very essence of the structure of capital ism. For if the farmer ought to keep on raising wheat and cotton and corn and pork even though he cannot do it proftably, so long as there are people who need these things, then by the same token the indus triaist ought to keep his factory wheels hummirg SO long as there are people who need the things he makes, whether they can pay his price for them or not. And about the time you begin admitting that, you find yourself wadng in very deep waters. The best thing about the whole farm program, perhaps, is that it makes this moral clear to us. It may work or it may not; while we are finding out we are going to get an edu- eatior and our future steps may well be taken in the light of the lessons we are learning right now

For Women Only

Connecticut is certainly setting the style for the rest of the states in sports lines. Last spring when our fish and game commission set aside certain distance along the Bran ford river for women anglers, it was hailed on every side as progressive movement Even right here in Connecticut where actions of the above board have been known to receive considerable criticism from the fish ing and hunting public this innovation was praised. Now the women hunters of the state are to have their own private preserve. 300 acres of the public shooting ground in Pennington has been set aside strictly for women. No male may trespass upon ths paradise Even the warden will be woman. as was the warden on the state leased stream during the season. The fish warden incl dentally will serve as warden during the hunting season. so the board has just arl- nouneed. There are quite a number ot women in this state who engage in hunting during the fall season. although the number is small when compared to the men who engage in this pastme.
 But with the establishment of private hunting grounds of their own we wouldn't be bit surprised to find good many more fair Nimrods taking to the woods this fall It was that way with the state leased fish ing stream. Records now available show that over 100 different women used it. Many of them returned. And good catches were reported. There is every reason to be- Ieve that this many women will also indulge in bit of shooting at a stray rabbit, squir- rsl or bird. Connecticut is certainly keep ing pace with the times.

Economical Paradox

Uncle Sam's effort to help the farmer by blowing under cotton limiting wheat acre age and killing several million hogs is eco- nomically unsound and morally wrong. That, at any rate. is the verdict reached in resolution adopted by the Ohio Metho- dists' recent state conference. It is verdict that . whole lot of people will accept. No part of the recovery program seems more contradictory than this destruction of the raw materials for food and clothing at dme when millions of people have neither snoueh io eat nor enough to wear. Yet it is contradiction that is not peculiar to the farm program. It lies at the very heart of the capitalist system. and it involves the funda- mental conflict between production for use bnd production for profit. The whole re- Dpsery program is simply an sttsmpt to sct- k that conflict.
 It does not take much thought to enable sas to see that destroying cotton. wheat and

Stabilized Money

It is now rather generally accepted. by some with hope and others with missiving. that the government some time this fall will 'devalue" the dollar by reducing the amount of gold in it. This process is a serious but not revolutionary thing. Our government and other governments have often changed the gold content of their coinage. It would probably put the value of the paper dollar a little lower than it is now so that it wouls buy about what dollar bought in the assumedly normal years of l925-6.
 Such procedure, say it's advocates, would stimulate business and do substantial justice to the big majority of our people. who have been struggling lately with the problem of repaying with dear dollars the debts in- cured when dollars were cheap. A fact not to be ignored in any such event, is that we would be returning officially to gold basis This fact may reconcile some hostile critics who have feared the indefinite depression of free paper currency. There would be more paper issued on the new basis, but on that basis it would be definite and sound.
 A fact probably more important in the long run than any other phase of this sub. jcet is that the President is expected, along with devaluation, to stabilize the purehas- ing power of the dollar. He would do this apparently. by the simple device of marrying the dollar to the price index. We have usually regarded our dollar as fixed in value. while the price of goods or cost of living moved down. It is simpler to regard gold itself as fluetuating in value. The President would. or could, "pes" the new gold dollar to the current price index rep resenting large group of important com modities, and provide that the new relation. ship should be maintained permanently at the same ratio.
 This could be done by varying the gold content of the dollar automatically. at reg. uar intervals of perhaps month, SO that dollar would always buy just about the same quantity of goods or pay the same amount of living expenses. Then debtors or creditors would always pay back, or re- ecive, whether after 30 days or 30 years. the same value or purchasing power that they had borrowed or lent. Thus finance and business apparently would be simplified and stabilized and one big cause of alternate booms and depressions would be removed.
