stitutional majority. but several MEM
bers changed their vote, making the
final count. 70 to II.
+ Six Democrats voted against the bill.
The new tax is counted on for $28,-
100000 In revenue to help wipe out
the 500 000, 900 deficit hanging over
from last year. It Is cnly one OF the
four measures in Gov. Lehman's ap-
proved new tax program. The other
proposals are q dollar-a barrel tax on
beer, / per cent gross income tax, and
an increased personal income tax.

ing the tax about rs per cent, Is
looked to for IS ,000, 900 in new revenue.

q new $4,000 900 bond issue for unem-
ployment relief.

calling attention to the fact that New
York State has taken the lead among
the States Of the Union In providing
work, food and shelter to those of its
citizens who desire to work but who
have no jobs"
1T is unthinkable," the governor
continued, that the work of relief be
abandoned. 1t must continue"

600 on unemployment relief, beginning
IN the Summer Of 1881.

On Liquor Situation In Delaware

Therefore, we believe it our duty

the Supreme Court of the United
States shall speedily pass final judg-
ment as to the legality or criminal
ity of Congressional and State legis-
lative enactments of the past year
relating to the traffic in intoxicating
liquor. Vast sums of money amount
ing to several millions of dollars,
have been used by way of criminal
propaganda and for intimidation of
executive and legislative officers of

KENT AGENT URGES
SEED CORN TREATMENT
Says Better Corn Should Be Grown
By Farmers

In accordance with the agricul-
tural program which is being advo-
Gated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for the reduc-
tion of acres of all major farm
crops, any method of crop improve
ment should include a program for
better yields of higher quality pro-
ducts on less number of acres, and
this fact applied particularly to the
corn crop which is of major impor-
tance throughout the country.
Since corn is grown in Kent coun-
ty primarily as feed crop for live
stock, this section of the United
States is not affected by the market
price of corn in the same manner as
are those areas in the midwestern
states. The principles involved in
the production of this crop in this
country, however. are essentially
the same as they are in the corn
belt, in that there is an opportunity
for farmers to increase their yields
per acre to further reduce the cost
of production and to realize greater
returns from this crop.
In addition to proper cultivation
and fertilization practices. another
important factor in this corn i'm
provement program for Kent county
is the treatment of the seed with
dust disinfectants, according to re-
suits which have been secured from
on a number of
farms within the past six years by

CONTEST ENTRIES
CLOSE MAY 18TH
First Judging Started This Week,
Two More Before Contest Closes

At the Rotary Club meeting on
Monday last II was decided to make
Monday, May 18th the closing date
for entries in the Milford Yard and
Garden Contest. Two reasons were
advanced for the moving up of the
closing date which was originally
set for June 30th. The first reason
is that after May 18th it will be too
late to do any planting of flowers,
roses or plants and the entry prizes
donated by the Diamond State Nur-
resies which are shipped from Lit
tie Silver, N. j., will arrive too late
to be planted. Anyone who enters
the contest after today will receive
an evergreen for an entry prize as
it is not too late to plant the ever
greens. The second reason for
changing the closing date is because
the judging has already been started
and If more entries are received the
judges will have to double back over
sections that have already been COW
cred.
The judges are planning to make
three judgings of the gardens of
those entered. The second judging
will be started sometime around
the middle of June and the third
and last judging will be done about
the middle of August. The prizes
will be awarded at meeting late
in August or early in September.
There are IA cash prizes totaling
$1OO and SO merchandise prizes
totaling $167. The cash prizes were
donated by the Rotary Club. the
two banks and private individuals
and the merchandise prizes were do
mated by the Delmarvia Nurseries,
the Diamond State Nurseries and the
of the city.
The chairman of the tree plant
ing program announced at the meet
ing that over 200 trees had been Or
dered by citizens of the city and
that the two nurseries had started
planting them on the various prop
critics.

In Politics Defeated.

Representative Simon's bill to
create a commission of one member
to have control of the manufacture,
distribution, sale and transporta-
tion of liquor, beer and wines in this
State in the event the Eighteenth
Amendment is repealed is now be-
fore Governor c. Douglass Buck for
his consideration. 1t was delivered
at his office late Monday afternoon
but he did not have time to give it
his attention before leaving Dover.
Although the bill does not name the
commissioner it is understood the
Governor has agreed to appoint
Pierre S. DUPONT to this office. The
act will become law as soon as 1t
has been given executive approval.
The bill, with its numerous
amendments. was passed by the Sem
ate early Monday afternoon by a
vote of 10 to S. Those opposing it

ton voted for it. Senators Keith and
Steen were absent.
Senator Latchum sought to add
another amendment to the bill to
prohibit license holders from taking
an active part in politics and from
making contributions to any politi-
cal party but this was rejected by a
vote of 6 yeas to nays. Forfeiture
of the license would have been the
penalty.
The reason the bill had to be pas
sed by the Senate was the addition
of an amendment by the House to
change the membership of the con-
troll commission from four, as pro-
vided for in the original act. to one.

S2,5OO,OOO SCHOOL

NOW AVAILABLE
Governor Buck Allows
Bill To Become Law
Without His Approval.
MILFORD WANTS AID
1t Is Generally Under
stood That City Is To
Get New Grade School.

Governor Buck has allowed the
81, SOC, 900 school building program
bill to become law without his sig
nature. Out of this appropriation,
Wilmington will receive S1,500,O00
for a new high school unit and the
remaining $1,0OO,0O0 will be spent
on schools in various parts of the
State.
In a letter to Harry B. Eaton,
president of the Wilmington City
Board of Education, Governor Buck
writes:
81 reiterate that l think the ap-
preparation of $2,5OO,OOO is unwise,
il not unjustified, and because l be-
lieve that the act would never be-
come law if | veto it, in which the
chance of high school for the city
of Wilmington would be jeopardized,
I have decided to let the bill become
law without my approval"
The complete text of the letter to
Mr.. Eaton, from Governor Buck,
follows: .f@.
Dear Mr.. Eaton Acknowledging
your kind favor of May 5th. permit
me to say that it is my carefully con-
sidered Judgment that the Act re-
Gently passed by the General Assem-
bly,, appropriating $2.500,000 for new
school construction during the com
ing biennium, is unwise at this time.
| am satisfied that a new high school
is badly needed in the city of Will
mington, but my investigation of the
matter convinces me that no new
school construction, or at least very
little, is absolutely needed elsewhere
in the State during the said period.
while / do not think SO, 1t may
be that $1,500,000 is proper amount
to be expended for the construction
of new high school in Wilmington.
but it is impossible for me to con-
vince myself that It is either eco
homieally' or morally sound forsthe
State to be compelled to appropriate
$2,500,0O0 for school construction
when the only pressing need in
wolves at most the outlay of ST.
SOC, 1000.
"In addition to the foregoing, not
efforts of others to
demonstrate to the contrary, | do not
think the States anticipated reve-
nues for this biehnium will justify
the expenditure of so much as ST.
100000 for new school construction.

by the fact that the

Stewart Lynch, House attorney, in

mated 105. The senator then pointed
out that at the rate of 10 divorce
