CONTRACT FOR TOMATOES
Low Offer of 10 Cents Farmers Say
Will Not Yield Profit

Canning factory owners in sever
al sections of lower Delaware are
making their contracts with the
farmers to grow tomatoes for them
this year The price being offered
by some of them is said to be SO
low that farmers cannot afford to
purchase commercial fertilizer and
till the crop and make a profit. All
that is being offered by some of the
packers, it is said, is ten cents per
basket.

WIPE OUT THE ROAD TAX

What earthly reason is
there against having the
State Highway Department
take over the County roads
and relieve the County tax
payers Of paying a road tax?
This is not a party question,
1t is something that concerns
all taxpayers. AS the Morn
ing News pertinently says:
IF there is a conspiracy as
is 50 confidently asserted to
defeat Governors Bucks leg
lslative program it is hard to
understand. The conspirators
must have some selfish pur-
pose in mind, must fear a loss
Of political patronage, a halt
in the partisan plucking Of the
pockets Of the people.
Throughout the country and
even in the Federal govern
ment costs are being cut, bod
les united, counties in some
states merged, and all that
sort Of thing, the primary
purpose being to wipe out
waste.
In effect one Of the chief
reasons for lauding President
Roosevelt as his supporters
are doing is the assertion that
he is effecting enormous econ
omies and that the govern
ment through the force Of
necessity is being put On a
more business-like basis as it
should be. There is no doubt
about that.
''Most of these measures
are presented at Dover with
the idea Of improving the SER
vice. And there should be no
doubt about the improvement
and its value. Just take sew
eral examples. Why should
there be opposition to the
State Highway Department
taking over the county roads?
The State Highway Depart
ment is amply able to do this
and relieve the county taxpay-
ers. Why should there be op-
position to measures reducing
the membership in the levy
courts?
There are numerous other
bills, all having proper pur-
pose in mind. But the legis-
lators drift, and the public
does not manifest the interest
it should show in such mat
ters."

HAMILTON, Mont, Jan. 4-Out
4 L in this rugged section of the
western part of Montana-the old
west-a woman sheriff holds her
office by an unusual last moment
election.
She is Mrs. Berna Corley and was
elected after only one-day cam
paign.
On the Sunday before election her
husband, the incumbent sheriff, who
sought reelection, died suddenly
while attending church service. The
Democratic county committee met
suddenly. At a. m. the next morn
ing, they named the widow as the
candidate.
She campaigned one day, because
in Montana it is not possible to
campaign on election day.
Despite the late start, she was
elected on Tuesday by 100 votes, de-
feating Jody Stokes. a former sher-
if, who three years ago was &C
quilted Of a murder charge after
being tried for killing a school
teacher while searching for a stolen
automobile.
Mrs. Corley, however, already
was serving as sheriff, as she had
been appointed to fill her husbands
unexpired term. But she had no
radical changes in the procedure
Of office.
