Editor, Herald:
| nm the kind of ~incurable maniac
VINO must always be defending some
one. Once | defended 4 county
commissioner, and he promptly gave
my job to an old imbecile who had
never defended anybody. Lately |
have been defending Alfred Miller's
right to his opinions, while Miller &
Company would see me hanged to a
lamp post without a word of protest.
And now my high and hysterical
soprano pipes up for Hans Madsen,
though | am piously convinced that
he will leap into the air with loud
hosannas at the first excuse for
throwing ME into Jail.
But a maniac must indulge his
mania; and so, before | can settle
down to anything worth while,
must do my daily Useless Deed,
come what may.
| wish that Miller could stay in
Plentywood long enough to learn to
lie convincingly. We have some
very expert liars in Plentywood who
would no doubt be glad to teach him
for a modest fee. His lies about
Madsen in last weeks P-News are
particularly amateurish.
| happened to be listening to the
argument between the sheriff and
Laursen. Laursen did not say one
half of the cute little things that are
reported in the P-News. And Mad
Cnn did mot cnrr n,tp rfn y ~ tho
things he was quoted as saying. He
did not, for example, mention any
dirty farmers (Imagine a politician
with quits enough to say that!) Laur-
sen was giving him the ancient sob
story about the awful machine deal
ers who sometimes want their prop
erty back after five years without a
payment, and what a pity that was;
and Madsen said distinctly, "Well
some of you fellows have dealt me
so much dirt that / don't care any
more" Laursen: "What dirt have
these poor farmers" etc. Madsen:
II said some of you" Laursen:
what dirt have some of us dealt
you?" Madsen: "a law suit, for one
thing Neither did he say that he
couldn't see why Heiberg and other
farmers shouldn't be Cleaned up
on; he said, 81 wouldn't call in my
neighbors and ask them to assume
my obligations" To the P-News that
may sound like the same thing diff
ferently stated; to most people it is
only what any self-respecting man
would say.
Nothing was said about getting
even,' and nobody showed any sign
of wanting a fight, except n or
two cockerels in the Heiberg crowd,
who strutted a little in the hope OF
being noticed. They didn't strut SO
much after N of them had had a
talk with Franc Murray.
For Miller's benefit, it isn't SC
smart to be sarcastic about the sher
lifts hurt feelings" either. He
| probably feels as sorry for the I'm.
! fortunate as Miller does. But the
law suit against him is proof enough
that a sheriff can't afford to neglect
the duties to which he has been ell
ected.

Tentative plans for making Della

been completed, according to G.. p
Hendricks, chairman of the Della
ware State Health Council, which
Organization is preparing campaign
to emphasize the necessity Of all
citizens seeking a higher health
level.
Il has been decided. he states. to
have a member of each of the
groups that make up the council
prepare an article emphasizing their
own phase Of work, as well as bring
ing out the other factors incident
to the maintenance of good health.
It is the plan of the Delaware
State Health Council, which serves
TO Informally coordinate the work Of
the several State health agencies, to
interest the people Of the State in
correcting physical defects, such as
bad teeth, tonsils, eyesight, and the
like. The council was organized in
1882, as the result OF the discovery
that only 8 per cent of the physical
defects discovered in school children
were corrected. and has since worked
toward attaining a higher percentage
Of corrections.

EXPLAINS PLAN
FOR BALANCING
STATE BUDGET
Research League Says Use Highway, School Fund TO
Help Meet Deficit; Would Also Transfer From The
General Fund To The Highway Find The Cost OF
Registering Automobiles.
Program Proposed By The League Is The Result of
Months Of Study And Conferences With Many
Prominent People Throughout The State; viii
Issue Bulletin Shortly.

Charles Warner, president of the
Taxpayers Research League of Del
aware, outlined to the members of
the Senate and House in joint ses-
sion last Friday afternoon the
leagues suggestions for meeting the
expected deficit of S1,O0O,0 a year
for the next two fiscal years in the
general fund, and thereby balancing
the budget. The league after an ex-
haustive study of State finances for
some months suggested an eight
point program to the Governor and
Legislature for balancing the bud
get.
The most important suggestions
in the program are the recommen-
dations that $5OO,OO0 a year for the
next two fiscal years be borrowed
from the highway fund for the gem
eral fund and 100000 a year from
the school fund for the same pur-
pose but that the money be borrow
ed in a way to guarantee repayment
to these funds.
Another important suggestion in
the program which if carried out
would save the general fund $4,000
a year is to transfer from the gen
eral fund to the highway fund the
cost OF registering automobiles and
issuing drivers licenses, which
amounts 10 about $4,000 annually.
