ACT CHANGED LAWS

When Secretary of Labor Perkins
classed Delaware as one of the IA
States having obsolete laws that de-
prive paupers of voting or holding
office. she raised an interesting
question.
The opinion among lawyers and
laymen in this State is that Secre-
tary Perkins was misinformed when
she said Delaware had obsolete pau
per laws.
1t is true the State Constitution
states no pauper shall be permitted
to vote, but the question revolves
about the definition of pauper. I'm
der strict legal definition, a pauper
is one who receives aid from the
public or public institutions.
However. under the new and cur
rent era, old social standards are be-
ing replaced by new social valua-
tions. With the establishment of the
State Welfare Home at Smyrna, and
the creation of the Old Age Welfare
Commission, Delaware's pauper
laws were changed radically.

New Methods Used In Collection
Of Gasoline Taxes Bring Results

the state as compared with AZ, all
of them being bonded for the prompt
payment of taxes and for the keep
ing of proper records and filing
monthly reports. No tax exemptions
are allowed except by individual re-
fund applications which can be
easily investigated. a ruling which
has resulted in the recovery of ST.
421.39 which under the old law was
evaded by claimed exemption from
one distributor alone.
From 1046 filling stations and the
distributors, yearly license fees of
S2,247.00 have been collected.
The improved collection methods
have benefited motorists in that the
tax they pay for road construction
and maintenance is being brought
into the treasury and used for that
purpose and not improperly diverted
by irresponsible dealers and dis
tributors.

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE
In RABIES CASES
The Head OF a Rabid Dog Should BE
Sent TO d Doctor

According to the Delaware Safety
Council, rabies or hydrophobia is a
terrible disease, carried by mad dogs.
Persons and animals bitten by mad
dogs are apt to have the disease,
which is fatal unless treated. When
a dog snaps aud acts strangely, shut
him up. Rabies is a germ disease
spread by the saliva of an animal
having rabies. A bite is the usual
method of Transporting the germ.
but cases are recorded which were
caused by rabid dog having licked
scratches or small wounds on the
hand. People should be especially
careful of all dead animals inasmuch
as the disease germs are alive In
the animals mouth for many days
after its death and a slight abrasion
of the skin may result in infection.
If 1t becomes necessary to shoot
dog never, under any circumstan-
ces. must II be shot through the
head. The head should be saved so
that the physician can have It ex-
amined for evidence of rabies. The
dog should never be shot unless 1t
is reasonably sure that 1t has rabies
OF that there is danger OF someone
being bitten in trying to catch II.
The dog should be placed where it
absolutely cannot get out and kept
under observation for at least ten
days. The time required for this

tiOns Reflects Sound FL

Savings Accounts Gain
While Checking Ac-
counts Show Decrease.
IN GOOD CONDITION

Financial stability of the mutual
savings banks, State banks and
trust companies doing business In
Delaware is revealed in the annual
report for 1888 issued on Monday by
State Bank Commissioner Harold
w. Horsey. One bank closed during
the year, leaving total OF AZ re-
porting as compared with 43 for
the previous year.
Total resources amounted to $64,-
1896, ,72010 in 1888 as compared with
$160,757, ,93O.54 in 1882, decrease of
slightly more than $6,3O0,OO0 but
this it was explained was a condi-
tion that was general throughout the
United States and that it does not in
any way indicate a weakening in the
financial standing of the banks in
dividually or as whole.
One of the interesting items in
the commissioner report is the fact
that checking deposits during last
year totaIed $55,51S, ,654.19 as COM
pared with $59,263,754.70 for the
previous year, decrease or $3,745,-
10O.51. Mr.. Horsey when asked about
this decrease, said he could not at
tribute it to any definite cause but
he believed similar conditions would
be found in almost every other
state for last year.
Another item in the report shows
the United States Government Sc
curities held in bank resources total
ed $18,845, 1882 in 1888 as compar-
ed with $15,69S, 1888 in the previous
year, an increase of $3,146,S23.S9.
This is explained by the fact that
during the past year banks found it
more or less difficult to make invcst-
ments Of any kind and in order to
get some return on their money they
built up more short term credits in
the form of these government seeHF-
tiles.
