you and all other citizens owning
homes in Delaware are paying a
tax to the county for looking after
so-called county roads. If you will
consent and, if you do, others will
Ito one cent increase in the gas
oline tax, your taxes on city prop
erty can be reduced from 70 to so
cents and your farm taxes from 81
to so cents. Isn't this saving worth
fighting for? And in these days
of automobiles, isn't it only fair
that those who use the roads
should pay to keep them up, rather
than taxing a mans home to fix
a road not only for the convenience
of his neighbor but for the benefit
of users of the road who don't even
live in the State?" Besides the so
cent reduction in rural New Castle
county, the plan will mean tax
savings of 20 cents in Kent and
Sussex counties and in Whining
ton, the Governor said-''if this bill
is passed, and I will make so bold
as to say it will be passed" In
charging inefficiency, Mr.. Warner
said he meant to imply no refiec-
ton on the present county officials.
He denied there is any political in
f1uence in the State Highway De-
partment. The savings to proper
ty owners, he said, would be passed
down to those who lease the prop
erty owners, he said, would be
passed down to those who lease the
properties through some rent re
duction. And the beneficiaries of
the reduction would spend more
freely, which would help all class
es. The additional gasoline tax
would cost the average man S5 a
year extra, the average resident
driving 1900 miles yearly and get
ting IS miles on a gallon. If he
owns a rural New Castle county
property assessed at $1,000, he
saves S35 during the year. CAS- we

MARCH RUNS
TRUE TO FORM
Rain, Hail and Flakes of Snow
Followed Saturday by Spring
Weather of IS Degrees
THIS WEEK COOL AGAIN

March weather is now running
true to form. One day the sun
shines bright, the mercury rises
and one is inclined to think that
spring is just around the corner
During the night, however, the ele-
ments rage with fury as they bat
tie for supremacy. Such was the
picture last week when after sew
eral days of showers which kept up
off and on for three days, there
was an outburst Thursday morn
ing shortly after midnight of hail,
rain, and snow. The wind blew
and the mercury dropped as low as
18 above zero. Then it rose again
bringing by Saturday one Of the
balmiest spring days Of early rec
ord, sending the thermometer up to
rs degrees, Sunday and Monday
dropping to freezing again with
more rain and SO on. During the
warm days frogs started rehears-
ing, and the young plants started
to send forth their shoots. Much
outdoor work was started only to
be hindered by the rain, snow, and
hail. The soaking rain played
havoc with the dirt roads, and cars
and trucks had difficulty getting
through The roads were very
soft, the continual rains making
travel in most lanes almost impos-
sible Farmers had started to pre-
pare their land for peas, but were
greatly hindered by the continual
rains. Rainy seasons are the rule
during March, in spite of some
days being all that could be desir-
ed. This March is no exception,
and almost any kind of weather
may be expected before April
FOOLS Day.

flourish and urged a uniform stand
ard for all the states which would
eliminate unfair competition and
the unrestricted employment of
children in all kinds of industry.
Mr.. Curley said the Delaware State
Bar Association and the American
Bar Association oppose the amend
ment. He explained if Delaware
ratified it this State would be sur
rendering to the Federal govern
ment all its power and authority
under the constitution relative to
the right to regulate child labor.
He said Delaware has the exclusive
right to regulate labor within the
State, but if it ratified the amend
ment this power would be lost. He
said Delaware has just and whole
some child labor laws and that the
State is a million times better off
by regulating its own affairs than
having the Federal Congress doing
it. Mr.. Gibbons discussed child
labor from the economic stand
point and said if the Congress can
not adopt uniform laws for its reg
ulation children and adults Will
have to work for low wages. He
expressed the opinion the states
have already surrendered much OF
their rights by accepting Federal
grants for highway construction
and for relief work.

GOOD COPPER NEWS.

Coming a stimulating piece of news, especlaliy to the residents of Alaska is the announcement of the reopening of the Kennecott copper mine next month The gold industry has been invigorated through increase in price and silver possibilities quotations and resumption of operations of pro- ducing copper mining property that has been idle for two years at this time promises to react equally favorable in the Territory itself
 While reopenng at the outset on limited scale, the operation doubtless will put considerable number of men at work not only in the mine property cut along the railroad running from Mccarthy to Cofdova. Along with the seasonal work now under way it will mean taking up con- siderable slack in the unemployment situation. If several hundred men are employed, reports indicate the relief burden in the Territory will be noticeably eased.
 Activity in the copper market is perhaps re- sponsible for the reopenng as the metal has been showing life at intervals since the first of the year. Copper buying abroad has been in slightly larger volume and domestic copper markets have been active Kennecott stock ranging from around fl to as high Is and fraction.
 While it means employment there is one note in the announcement of Superintendent E. J. Duggan that should be closely heded by those who might work there He advises not to rush to the hold lngs. Tt is most advisable that those who wish to work communicate with the Kennecott office before coming to Kennecott" he said. There is no logic in stampedng to the Kennecott in the hopes of getting a job The practical way is to contact the agents as the Superintendent suggests.

Fallacy in Restriction.
(Kansas City Times0

'tAd4lSdS O4tS llilSoJ
 Advocates Of an economy of scarcity and restrict ed output as opposed to production in quantity and at prices appealing to the buying should find a particularly instructive lesson in the experience of the automobile industry. This industry lost heavily in the more severe depression years in an effort to maintain a restricted market for it's products.
 But by readjustng manufacturing costs and re- ducng prices, the industry today has been enabled to operate on a scale almost equal to that of it's maximum production in the most prosperous years. That has brought with 1t enlarged markets for the products. It means, well, employment and mere wage money in the industry. Which, then, is the better to recovery, scarcity plenty?

 If the Government gets too cocky and withholds funds from Louisiana the State may retaiate, Huey Long hints, but refusing to pay Federal taxes. But if the State could get by with it, wouldn't the Government be C substantial winner in that kind of uncomplimentary exchange? In fact with Huey in charge down there isn't Louisiana heavy liability to the whole county?

The current rate for call loans on securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange is quarter of per cent per annum, which means that $100000 would return to the lender less than $1 day in interest It looks as if the rich who desires to conserve his capital instead of spending it, may have to go to work for living.

JUST FOR THE RECORD.

While the outside world gets a little excited about our epdenics from time to time for the purpose of keeping the record straight" as Al Smith used to say, it might be well to have the record show Federal and Territorial authorities are handling the situation in rather ship-shape style that are made to us in of emergencies and they too are in the record, the point is that officials here are closer to the heart of things and are not subject to the aarmist attitude that might easily prevail in the States the result of meager reports from our outposts.

POL.I'S

Tonight is the last chance that Waterburians will have of seeing d program that is the talk of the town, comprised of Elissa Landi and Cary Grant in Enter Ma dame", q talking picture made from the stage success of the same name. On the same program there is the peer of all outdoor stars, George O'Brien in Harold Bell Wright's most liked novel of the great outdoors "When q Mans a Man" With him are Dorothy Wilson and Paul Kelly.
 For the weekend program, to- morrow to Tuesday, Polls does it- self proud in presenting 0 double feature film program that has the rest of the exhibitors all over Connecticut wondering how they can present at all times such shows and not raise the price of admis. sion. Whenever other picture theaters get attractions of the sort that will be here for the week. end they raise the prices, and the secret of 1t, why Polls does not is on account of the size of the thea ter and the large crowds that can be handled without any confusion. The lower floor of Polfs theater can hold more people than any other theater in town, using just the lower floor of the Poli theater and the entire capacity of any other thcater, with all of their seats both up and down stairs. Here is an idea of why the bet ter pictures will always play at Polls rather than any other Wa terbury theater.
 For this weekend the first fea- ture will be Claudette Colbert in picture that Manager Ed Fitz- patrick of Polls states Is far bet ter than Tt Happened One Night" The theme is about the same aud 1t has been embelllshed on and great film-fare Is the result.
 The co-feature and one that would be the first feature on the program of any other thentcr is Little Men" from the profile pen of Louisa Alcott who has given ue "Little Women" and "The Little Minister" and now she again crashes through with another sue. cess in this picture.
 Mako Polls your by-word, when It comes to entertainment and you will always be assured of th.. best that there is to be had and when there are better shows for the stage or screen Polls will have them as the representative theater of Waterbury.
