ernor Buck has penetrated
them in a most satisfactory
manner, offering sensible So
lutlons. He notes the finances
of the State and warns that
the revenues might fall short
of balancing the budget. This
should convince the legislators
that there should be no waste
and that they should excel in
real economy.
Governor Buck has furn-
ished much timely food for
trenchent thought. Take one
idea among many that will
impress favorably our citi-
zens. He thinks that the as
sessed valuation of all real es.
tate for county purposes
should be reduced by one
third. No doubt that would
bring it nearer the real valua-
tion in these days. There is
little sale for real estate. Such
a reduction would tighten the
burden of the owners and the
renters.
''The governor would elm
mate road taxes from real es-
tate, and let the necessary
revenue be raised by those
using the highways. That is
fair and frank. Those who
use the roads should pay for
them. With much knowledge
of roads and concerned as he
was about them even before
he became governor, Mr.. Buck
thinks that everything CON
nected with the highways
should De under the supervi-
sion Of the State Highway De
partment. This would elm
mate local control Of roads
where it exists. That should
be an improvement.
''The State would also, if
the governors counsel were
followed, take care Of the in
terest and redemption Of the
road bonds, thus relieving the
counties. The roads really
are State affairs. The State
would also redeem the district
bonds.
"The governor also makes
some good suggestions con-
celning tax on gasoline, and
he refers to other matters re-
lating to motorists.
'He would have the Levy
Court in New Castle county
conform to the plan in the
other counties, each of which
has three commits
sioners.
"He would continue the
humane old age pension plan
with an appropriation of
5000, 1000, and take care and
foster our educational sys-
,em."

THE GRANGE WOMEN

Much of the success of the
Grange in all sections of the
United States is due to the
cons tructive work and
thought of the women mem
bers. That is as true of Del
aware and the Eastern Shores
Of Maryland and Virginia as
it is of other parts of the
United States in which Grang-
es live and thrive. Take that
department Of Grange activ-
ity known as home economics.
It is a big thing which covers
the portion Of the Grange ser
vice to rural life for which the
women in that organization
are responsible. This depart
ment has been developing
very rapidly in the last ten
years and its projects cover a
wide range of undertakings.
In some States the Home Eco
nomics department follows
the usual line designated by
that title, centering its efforts
around better home making,
knowledge Of food and kin
dred topics. In other States
the program is greatly broad
ened to include many phases
Of community service activity,
school projects and the like,
with the result that the pro
Of such departments
enlist a large number Of work
ers and make a fine showing
at the end Of the year in def
mite community betterment !
Usually such COM
prehensive work is covered by
the broader title of home and
community welfare, and dur
ing the past two years these
energetic groups of women
nave rendered tremendous
service in relieving distress
and suffering among the un-
employed. For the year ahead
more extensive plans than
ever are being made in these
directions and in the distribu-
ton of food, clothing and sim
lar supplies this department
Of the Grange is very active
indeed. Many municipal well
fare departments pay high .
tribute to the Grange for
what it is doing to relieve To-
cal distress and by so much
tightening the burden other
wise wholly carried by taxa
ton. - Journal : Every Even

The livelihood of most of
them depends on the oyster
ing and fishing industry.
Despite all efforts and
those of our Congressman we
are told definitely and finally
that our creek will not be
opened up again since it will
cost too much to keep it open.
We have the alternative of
either moving our equipment
to some other harbor already
overrun with boats and some
miles away or to build a road
to Port Mahon and to develop
it as our own harbor, directly
on the bay near the fishing
grounds and oystering beds,
and yet within sight of Little
Creek.
'Mahon is acknowledged by
all shipping interests to be by
far the best and most accessi-
bic harbor and port of refuge
in this section of the station,
though Sussex and New Cas-
tie counties each have harbors
on which thousands of dollars
are spent each year. At low
water Mahon River will ac-
commodate the largest oyster
schooners without any dredg-
ing whatsoever.
Aside from the other bene-
fits to commerce and the oys-
ter business, emergencies
have several times arisen
where a road there may have
meant having the life of a
sick OF injured seaman. On
various occasions, rather than
waste time by taking a man
needing immediate medical
care up the creek to Little
Greek, his comrades have tax
en- him ashore at Mahon Light
and having no road they have
carried him bodily on their
shoulders, over the marshes to
the mainland.
1T is reported that the
owners Of the land on the
harbor will give a site for a
public wharf, probably build
a wharf if a road is construct
ed to it. Would not such a
road be an excellent means of
furnishing employment to
many Of the unemployed of
Eastern Kent county, and at
5he same time do much to pro-
note our oystering and fish
ng industry? It could prac-
,ically all be done by hand
aDOr and trucks.
Before the old road was {
washed out there were some |
lines hundreds of boats in
River at one time, and
here is no doubt but that it '
lgain become a very active
larbor, if it is made accessible
~ the construction of about |
,hree quarters of mile of
,assable dirt road"

In it were found a rife, four pis-

Jake the Barber" Factor returned
to Chicago without testifying about
his own kidnapping last summer. He
claims he was abducted by the
same men who kidnapped Hamm.
One Of the last things which the
government tried to prove was that
Hamm was taken from Minnesota
to Wisconsin. This contention,
placing the case under the Lind
bergh" law, was based on the claim
that Hamm, during captivity, saw a
road sign with the words "Beioit"
and GAINESVILLE" on it. Witnesses
said no such sign could be found
anywhere except in Wisconsin.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Nov 1.-THE
United States government completed
lts case late yesterday against four
sTouhy gangsters charged with kid
mapping William Hamm Jr., last June
and taking him from one state to
sanother in violation Of the Lind
.bergh kidnapping law.
The defense Immediately asked for
a directed verdict, which Judge NJ.
M. Joyce denied. The defense then
started laying the groundwork for
its attempt today to introduce twen-
ty-three dispositions in favor Of VIII
lie Sharkey, one Of the four defend
ants. Todays session opened with
"a statement by Stewart.
A highlight Of the final day Of
prosecution testimony was a brief

mistake Immediately and sat down.

later.
Sharkey was sitting with the other
defendants, Roger Touhy, Eddie Nc
Fadden and Gus Schaeffer, at the
time Of the incident. His break"
tcame as William Ward, police chief
sof Elkhorn, Wis, was leaving the
witness stand.
