HIGHER LIVING
DUE TO AAA TAX
Only 1,400 of 10,3S1 State
Farmers Benefit, Drex-
Ter Says
PURCHASING POWER CUT

A statement that the "AAA has
aided only a small number of Del
aware farmers while provoking
hardship and higher cost of living
upon the vast majority was issued
in Wilmington Friday by the Am
erican Liberty League of Delaware
through its director, Louis A. Drex-
ler. The charge followed on the
heels of a new edict of the Agricul-
tural Administration directing a 25
per cent reduction in wheat acre
age in Delaware this year. De-
claring that only 1400 farmers out
of the 10,381 in the State receive
benefits, the League pointed to
enormously increased costs of liv-
ing to the farmer as we'll as the city
worker as the price paid for such
aid. 1t raped the processing tax
as an evil that bred high expense
with little profit.
Food Prices Are Higher
THE 25O,0O0 people of Delaware
are paying price for food much
higher than many of them can af-
ford to pay in order to distribute
benefits to less than 140O farmers" !"
the League said. I'm Delaware
there are 1889 farmers in New Cas-
tie county, 4671 in Kent and 1871
in Sussex. There has been a wide
belief that most of them proited
under the present farm policy. Ac-
tually only some 406 in New Castle,
$50 in Kent and $40 in Sussex are
signed under the wheat and the
corn-hog reduction banner. The
other 5000 farmers are paying
their full share of the cost in be-
slowing this largess upon the IS
per cent that receive it. The the
ory that the processing tax is in
the welfare of the people of the
rural sections is not borne out by
the facts. Like most schemes that
promise quick panacea the pol
icies of the farm dictator fall upon
the poor and at the doorsteps of
those whom they design to help
Refuting the contention that the
farm treasury had been generally
enriched through the rising price
of foodstuffs, the League pointed
to the curtailment of farm pur-
chasing power in the higher cost
of every commodity. THE Della
ware farmer is in exactly the same
position as the city man." it de-
clared. THE residents of the rural
districts. including the farmers
themselves, constitute the chief
buyers of farm products. Wheat
growers do not grind their own
grain and thousands of farmers
purchase their meat and feed. They
are the large consumers of corn
and flour and cotton goods. Hence
they, as well as the city worker,
are contributing part of their in

Not only the tiller of the soil, but

THE CHANGE IN THE
ELDERSHIP

The news yesterday morning of
the election of DR.. Caldwell, to the
Presidency of Delaware College, in
volving a change in the presiding
eldership and his removal from this
town, was a surprise, and very ma
turally occasioned considerable
comment. DR.. Caldwell is very
popular with our people and he and
his family will be regretfully part
ed with. The question of his sue
cessor is one that very naturally
interests our citizens in the capac-
ity both of his Office and as a resi-
dent of the town. Revs. Quigg and
France have been authorized to
call the preachers of Easton Dis
trict together for an expression as
to their choice, which meeting will
probably be held in this town next

A Gang Still Must Pay.
(Kansas City Times.)


 With Al Capone safely in prison these several years and with his fellows similarly accounted for in hiding it would seem that this particular gang had become matter only for the criminal records of the country Yet the Federal treasury still is optimistic about revenue from this racketeering and has just certified income tax assessment of $120OO0 again Capone and group of his confederates. This action grows out of the operations of huge beer syndicate which the gang had set up back in Pro hibition days.
 Good citizens the nation will hope that the treasury collects every penny that is due and that the Department of Justice, which still is at work the case, finally will round up every offender involved. Revenue that now may be obtained, along with that already had will make the monetary returns this particular instance of law enforcement much larger than is customary, although they will not pay the expenses of the investigation apprehension and con- viction of gang members. But the lesson is there. While the profits in this instance perhaps the largest in the gangdom history of America, they temporary and fugitive.
