Extravaganza ASSailed
The Republicans of Delaware con-
tend that We cannot spend ourselves
rich or borrow ourselves into pros
perity and for this reason we ap-
prove the. wisdom of the State ad-

Representatives of this State which

necessary expense OF the fruitless
special sessions of the General AS

dustrial peace in our State and pay
tribute to the wOrkingmen of Della |
ware for the courage and patience
with which they have met their

of industry and conse-

sales tax. OF OccupatiOnal tax on
those who are employed. or tax
upon tangible property, especially
upon the homes and farms of our
people.
