THE SUPPER GIyERs

Words of appreciation should be
said in behalf of the people in Della
ware who get up the nice public
suppers. luncheons, etc, for church.
es and other organizations. These
occasions are invaluable in the life
of a community like ours. They help
people get better acquainted, they
cement friendships, they break
down barriers of reserve and indif-
ference and prejudice, they help
our community to become one united
family.
If family never met around its
common dining table, if those folks
just rushed into the kitchen and
gobbled their food separately, how
much family life would there be?
A town or community is like that.
1t needs these public occasions when
we all get together and lind out
what good folks our neighbors are.
There we learn to like each other,
and how to cooperate with our
neighbors for good public causes.

People who used to belong to
every society in their home towns
and quite a number outside, were
once ridiculed as "iinefs". They
had an Unsuitable desire to join or
ganizations, and they were kept well
busy with limitations and meetings.
Some of them neglected their homes.
We do not seem to hear so much
about "jiners" now. They have
found other occupations, or find it
difficult to pay their dues. Our pres
ent trouble is more with the non
liners, people who cant be per-
suaded to take a reasonable inter-
est in the activities of their home
towns. OF the two, one prefers the
jiners. At least they gave the good
causes of the home town a wonder
full lift, and we should welcome
more of them.

HOW TO END DEPRESSION

Aggressive sales and advertising
campaigns were favored in recent
address by Malcolm Muir, chairman
of the Greater New York committee
ON Industrial rehabilitation. He
urged business people to go in for
such campaigns, as one of the best
means to bring business back to
normal.
There is still plenty of money in
the country, only it has become
fearful and gone into hiding. An
nouncement of bargains brings such
money out Of its retreats. People
have keen instinct for values, and
when they are shown this or that
article that is selling for a price
that seems low, they somehow find
the money to buy it. A courageous
and hopeful advertising campaign
at this time will work off old stocks,
and give business a big push toward
normal prosperity.

tender, mealy and delicious, beans
must be baked thoroughly, and al
though the modern homemaker usu-

serves, she does insist that they be
real baked beans-not beans that
are steamed or boiled. If beans are

DERT NEGOTIATIONS

President Hoover and President
elect Roosevelt are reported to have
exchanged telegrams about the war
debt negotiations. 1t is a satisfac-
ton that a defeated and successful
candidate can thus exchange
thoughts about the good of the coun-
try. At some past times, such ones
felt more like exchanging taps on
the nose.
These two statesmen seem to
agree that the government will have
to listen to the pleas of the debtors.
Also that if the United States shall
see fit to give up any debt payments
TO which II Is Justly entitled, these
debtors must abandon some pet poll
icies that cost us dear. Now these
negotiations must live up to our ma
tional experience as good horse
traders. 1t is up to them to see
that no spawned or ringboned crit
ter is worked off on us as a fast
race horse.

BANKING LEcIsbATION

Congress has been witnessing a
hard fight over legislation aimed to
strengthen the bank system. People
may not like this or that feature of
the proposed law, but they should
consider that our country has seen
over 10000 banks close in 12 years,
while England and Canada have had
almost no bank failures for years.
The United States should have an
equally strong system.
When thousands of banks go
down, credit and business are tied
up. 1t will pay to have banking
submitted to considerable restric-
tions, even though such regulation
may in many cases make it more
difficult to borrow money. The main
purpose of the banking system, is
to safeguard the money of the peO-
pie.

COMMUNICATED

at is a we'll established law" )"
quotes the Supreme Court of the
United State, that the highways of
! the State are public property; that
| their primary and preferred use is
for private purposes; and that their
use for purposes of gain is special
and extraordinary, which, generally
at least, the legislature may prohibit
or condition as it seems fit"
Also, on December 5, 1882, this
body decreed that a State has the
right and power to free its highways
from the burden of excessive dam
gerous or inconvenient commercial
traffic. For this purpose it may un-
dertakek the regulation of contract
trucks and such regulation is not
an interference with the constitu-
tional rights of contract or of pri-
Vate property. .....
The State of Texas recently enact
ed statute requiring contract car
riers to obtain permits from the
State Railroad Commission, and stip-
ulates that such permits shall not
be issued if it appears that the Of
ficiency of common carriers already
adequately serving the same terri
tory would thereby be impaired. The
statute also provides for the estab-
lishment of minimum rates to be
charged by contract trucks, and
specifies that these rates shall not
be less than those prescribed for
common carriers rendering sub
stantially the same service.
These provisions of the statute
are sustained by the Supreme Court
as proper and constitutional meas
ures for the objects of conserving
the highways of the State, of MAX
ing their use safer for private motor
vehicles, and of maintaining all
necessary facilities of transportation
by controlling the distribution OF
traffic among them.
Delaware's public highways, of
which its citizens are so proud, have
and are costing thousands of dollars
annually for maintenance and eX-
paniOn to keep abreast of traffic de-
mands. Yet these same publicly
owned highways, whoseN primary
and preferred use is for private pur-
poses, are rapidly being appropriat-
ed by the truck interests for "pur-
pose of gain" which should be "spe-
cial and extraordinary.
Citizens, who have been hood
winked into thinking it is for their
best interests to tafnely submit to
this highway encroachment, have
been successfully solicited to back
the trucking companies in order to
have the low truck rates are decep-
tive inasmuch as the differences be-
tween the truck and rail charges are
generally exceeded by reason of the
heavy taxation necessary to provide
the heavier and wider roadways de-
manded by huge motor freight car
riers.
In view of the fact that consider
able organization is being carried
on in various parts of the country
to affect a reduction in taxation,
every tax payer should insist that
his or her representative initiate or
vote for regulation and proper tax

There is possible danger of vio-

steps are taken to promote general
welfare, according to the research
COMMITTEE named several years ago
by President Hoover, which has
been carrying on Investigations
through the Rockefeller foundation.
The committee says: "A change
in the distribution of income which
puts more purchasing power in the
hands of the wage-earners would
enormously increase the markets
for many staples, and go far toward
providing places for all competent
workers.
The most serious fault of the
prosperity of 1928 and 1929, was
that II was not sufficiently distrib-
uted. Business corporations and
concerns, or many of them, made
so much money that an artificial
conception of their value became
current. The prices of stocks were
pushed so violently upward, that
terrific crash was inevitable.
Business can not be carried on
unless 1t can make a fair profit. If
man can't make q dollar by buy

he has no incentive to employ labor

have been better off today, if in 1929
they had reduced prices instead, of
piling up profits, thus increasing the

Whatever changes they make, will
be made by vote of the people. But
no business system is likely to last,
unless it is content with moderate

INCOME TAX INCREASES

The statesmen at Washington,
desperately struggling to find new
sources of revenue, are talking of
increasing the income taxes again.
They have yet to hear the full howl
of complaint from the people as they
pay the increased taxes on 1882 in
come required by last years law.
Now it is proposed to hit the tax
payer again, and raise these rates
still more.
Some congressman think It may
be necessary to reduce the exemp-
ton of married person from s2500
to $4,000. or to $1,000 as claimed by
some. 1t is remarked that these
exemptions are higher than those
existing in leading European coiIn-
tries. Such a plan will hit many
people who find it difficult under
their present incomes, to support
and educate a family in even mod
est way.
Yet our people should consider
that it is absolutely necessary that
the government pay its bills before
running into debt for ordinary ex-
penses, confidence will not return to
business. And the lack of confidence
is the principal thing that keeps bus
iness slow. People are not going to
buy and sell in a normal way, unless
they feel that the country's finan-
cial system is sound. II is not sound |
as long as it keeps going farther in
to debt.
The incessant borrowing by the |
by states and cities,
absorbs money available for invest |
ment, and makes it difficult for peo-
pie to obtain funds for legitimate |
enterprises. When the government
and states and cities begin to pay
running expenses as they go along.
then we shall see business look up.
Increased taxes, burdensOme as
hey would be, would be better than
IN unbalanced budget.
On the other hand, as long as the
government and the states and cit
es are allowed to keep on borrow
ng money, ways to spend that
money will be found. The business
method of dealing with such a situa- {
ion. is to reduce expenses to equal
he income, not increase income TO
iqual the expenses.

AUTOMOBILE DEVELOPMENT

The National Automobile exhibit
tion in New York reported this year
very encouraging attendance and
sales. Had it not been for bad
weather early in the week, the at
tendance would have exceeded that
Of 1882. This successful show is an
omen of better business for 1888.
The way the automobile trade has
tackled the problems of a period of
depression is something marvellous,
and it gives one faith in the country.
II might have been supposed that
such an industry in former years
would simply lay off help, reduce
costs to a minimum, and try to bare
ly keep going. But in this trade, the
effort has been, by the perfecting of
the cars in every possible way, to
make them so irresistibly attractive
that people would be almost forced
to buy them.
That does not mean that people
are or should be induced to buy
them in a spirit of extravaganza. |
But il a car has been made so near |
ly perfect that II will run many |
thousands of miles with practically |
no repairs, il is usually good policy
to trade off a badly worn car that is
constantly visiting the repair shop.
What the average automobile buy
er wants today is q strong, practical
ear that will stand up against hard
wear, requiring little tinkering.
Ability to keep out of the repair
shop is more priced than fancy gad-
,ets. The trade has responded to
his demand, and this is the type of {
ar on which It relies. {
There are so many cars on the !
Dad that are just barely limping
long, constantly getting into diff ]
ulty. that it seems probable that I
lany more of these will be retired t
his year, and swapped for these I
eautiful and practical new ones. I
he process of wearing out the old '
ars has gone so far, that one of t
iese days we are sure TO see a II
reat revival of car buying. 1t y
Mould come with the opening days

1T WILL BE WELL for the mem
hers Of the General Assembly tC
consider well any attempt to reduce
State aid funds now being given to
hospitals throughout lower Della
ware. The Milford Emergency Hos
pital, the Marshall Hospital at Mil
ford. the Kent General Hospital at
Dover and the Beebe Hospital at
Lewes are doing heroic work for
this section of the State. 1t is al
most incOnceiVable the amount of
hospital services which these insti-
tutiOns are rendering. These worthy
humanitarian agencies are each day
administering to the needs of the
sick and injured-regardles of the
reduced incomes being derived by
the hospitals. Taking the Milford
Emergency Hospital as an illustra-
tion-and the work at that hOpsital
is being duplicated at each of the
other down State hOsptals-it might
be well for short review of their
work. When first established this
hospital started work in a district
which had had no facilities for the
care of the sick and injured. The
people generally held in awe such
places and it was only as a last re-
sort that they would consent to the
removal of their loved ones to the !
hospital.
Through efficient services, excel
lent surgery and the best of nursing
this condition has changed. The peo-
pie have become hospital conscious
and demand better and better facili-
ties. With the more general use of
the automobile the demand for hos
pitfalls increased. Almost daily, ac-
cident cases are rushed here from
all parts of lower Delaware. The |
injured must be treated without de- |
lay. There is no time to investigate
the ability to pay. The result is very
frequently a dead loss for the hos
pital. Still this work continues. It
is this condition that the members
of the General Assembly must con-
slider when they begin their pairing
down of the budget bill now before
them. In view of the fact that hos
pitfalls must be kept at the peak of
efficiency for the general welfare,
revenues must be provided suffl-
cient to maintain them at all times.

and d%ehorning with paste, to
stockmen assembled here in con-

The new branding fluid is des-

humane, does not mar the hide,
leaves no raw sore, is less apt to
blotch, better for complicated de-
signs and does not injure the hide.
1t is done by dipping a stamp iron

there is evidence that it is, where
it has been used for a year or
