VETOES DIVERSION TO

Governor Buck last Friday
returned to the Senate with
his veto Senator Latchum's
bill to authorize the Kent
County Levy Court to use for
general county purposes
$34,887.98 on deposit in the

expressed his opinion that
any money received from tax

purpose only, or returned to

Delaware is always at war on the
glare that kills" on the highways
of the State. This killing glare is
not a mysterious death-dealing ray
but the binding headlights of
thoughtless and inconsiderate driv-
ers. All motorists have experienced
the sense of utter helplessness when
approaching car whose dazzling
lights have all but blinded them on
the highway at night. The Council
suggests that you make this test in
order to determine that your lights
are not included in the above classi-
fication: Walk about 25 feet ahead
of your car and face your own
lights. The chances are that this
test will give you a practical and
thorough illustration of the amount
of glare which your car projects on
approaching drivers.

DISPOSAL OF TAXPAYE YER'S DOLLAR

pendents receiving benefits from
Veterans bureau, 1,145,116.
Due both to Jne depression and
increased benefits allowed by con-
gress, the number receiving di-
rect money benefits has increased
$4,000 or SO per cent in two years.
The hospital load of the Veterans
Bureau has increased "a per cent
and the number living IN Veteran
Bureau homes has increased A
per cent.
This rapid expansion has caused
concern. In his last annual re-
port, Gen. Frank T. Hines, direc-
tor of the Veterans Bureau, said
Confronted with the impressive
total Of past and present expendi-
lures, and anticipating an increase
in certain items of present eX-
penditureS as a result of the in
crease of applications because of
disabilities incident to progressing
age, and recognizing that at each
succeeding session of congress, new
benefits are proposed which would
further augment annual expendi-
lures for veterans relief, we must
regard with concern the possible
future cost of veterans relief"
The veteran hospital population
has increased at the rate of IL to
Is per cent in the last two years
and totalled 43,481 last June 80
More than $4,000 were under treat
ment for ailments not connected
with war service. Hospital admis-
/. .sions this year exceed the former
peak of 1922. Approximately go per
cent of all admissions have been

Veterans Bureau.
Under the laws as amended
free hospital service is granted tc

+ WASHINGTON, Jan, 8. W.RI -
With President-elect Roosevelt op-
posed to the sales tax and Con-
gress in revolt against raising in
come taxes, pressure lis growing
for sharp economies in the Veter-
ans Bureau.
This bureau spenGs S1,000,000, 900
q year, which is one-fourth of the
total cost of the government
Congress has been reluctant to
touch this expenditure. But con-
ditionS are shaping to the point
where the demand for large econ
omies is forcing consideration of
the possibilities.
A terrific battle is gathering and
it is due TO break early in the
new administration.
Those leading the agitation for
reducing this expense assert that
400,000,000 year could be saved
without taking a single penny from
anyone who was injured in the
war
But the issue, as many service
men see it, is stated in slightly diff
ferent terms.
The question is, some Of them
say, whether the country wishes
to place the man who served his
country in war but escaped un-
injured, on the same basis as the
man who did not serve. If So
they add to be logical on veteran
economies they also should strike
off all Civil war pensioners This
policy question, some of the vet
Grams groups say, must be de-
cided first.
Before stating the arguments
advanced by the opposing forces
in this battle, the official picture
of the situation as it exists should
be summarized.

sease, 10000; wounded $4,000;

NEW YORK, Jan. 8. - A SELL
off near the close today brought
prices down from early highs on
the New York stock exchange for
an irregular close. Volume was
light.
Early in the day railroad issues
led q fair rally with all groups
participating. Carrier shares rose
fractions to more than a point
following their sharp gains last
week. They sold off but held above
the previous close while the re-
mainder of the market was mixed.
Buying in carriers was partly
short covering. Car loadings for
the week ended December 81
showed a 19 per cent decline as
compared with the corresponding
week of 1881, but the showing ac-
tually was favorable since traders
had anticipated larger decline.
Net operating income for the
class one roads in November made
a favorable comparison with 1881
in line with expectations.
Industrial shares did not fare
as we'll as the RAILROADS. Steel
common slipped off late in the day
to a level more than a point under
the last price last week.
A sharp decline in wheat inspir-
ed some late selling especially in
the farm equipment shares. Other
industrials were forced down with
them and with U. S. Steel. United
Aircraft lost a point and many
others fractions
According to preliminary cal
culation, the Dow, Jones g. Com
pany industrial average stood at
$3.50, off 0.66, railroad 1882, ur
0.08 and utility 28.35, off 0.43.
! Sales were 100000 shares, COM
pared with 100000 shares last
Friday.
