The Delaware Safety Council
urges all motorists and pedestrians
to be especially careful during the
observance of Memorial Day. The

that during this holiday there is al
ways a sharp increase in street and
highway mishaps. Motorists and
pedestrians are urged to heed the
seven daily sins of traffic:
l. Inattention - Failure to at
tend the work at hand.
2. Excessive speed which is a
contributing factor in nearly all
serious crashes
3. Traffic violations abid-
ing drivers and pedestrians have a
right to depend on the observance

One hundred and fifty men from

arrange the affair. Informal dis
cussions of the culture, fertilizer,
control of insects and plant diseas-
es and the rotation of crops were
led by national and State research
workers, including DR.. George Oar

United States Department of Agri-

row, decorated with pansies and
strawberry leaves, was exhibited.
Improved crates and baskets, both
veneered and paper, were exhibited
by several firms. 1t was observed
that Strawberries grown under a
mulch of crimson clover are super
ior to those grown under a wild
hay mulch; that plants are thrifty
when grown in rows two and one
half feet apart, the plants being
set three feet apart ir the row and
the runner plants being kept spac-
ed six inches apart in rows twelve
inches wide. A crop rotation plan
beginning with soy beans and pro-
crossing to cannery peas, tomatoes
and Strawberries, was discussed as
a good way to prepare the soil for
strawberries, without the excessive
use of fertilizer.

about banking, and through steady
advancement, later filled positions as

On January %, 1920, he was elected

DEBATE REVIVED
|. ON BIG SURPRISES
Opponents of Roosevelt Tax
Plan Point to Reserves
Role in Depression.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,


Corporate surpluses have come in
for fresh scrutiny in New Deal quar-
tiers in consequence Of President
Roosevelts suggestion, in his tax mes
sage, that the "unwieldy and unnec-
essary" ones should be discouraged. /"
Just how they would be discouraged
was not made cIssr. Nor was any
proposal made for'a gauge by which
appropriate size could be determined.
But the possibility of taxing big
corporate liquid resources, in order
to drive them into investment or con-
sumption channels, has been under
discussion for some time.
Presumably, since he made the sug-
gestion in his tax message, the Presi-
dent had taxes in mind.
Wisdom Is Questioned.
Even In official circles, however, the
wisdom of taxing surpluses has been
subject to considerable debate and di-
vision of opinion. Those who are luke
warm suggest the administration at
least should move slowly about 1t and
act only after careful study Of the
long-term implications of corporate
''girth control"
They point out many corporations
lived through the depression only by
reason of the fat they accumulated
in prosperous years and that without
it they would have been starved into
bankruptcy.
Moreover, they contend, billions of
dollars poured out by corporations
from surplus while they were in the
red acted as a cushion to the decline
in prices and purchasing power.
On the side of President Roosevelt's
suggestion are some influential voices
in the New Deal family, hammering
away at the argument that corporate
SURPRISES have become pools of stag
nant capital and partly responsible
for throwing the economic machine
out of balance by taking too much
money out Of use.
National Study Made.
A recent study of corporate profits
and losses from 1929 to 1884 by the
National Bureau Of Economic Re-
search has impressed some who have
been considering the surplus prob
lem here.
It indicates that the depression
made heavy inroads into corporate
reserves and that they may not be as
large as some advocates Of levy on
them believe.
In the aggregate, according to the
study, corporations dipped into re-
serves to the extent Of nearly $12,-
900 ,000, 900 in the three depression
years from 1891 through 1888 to meet
their deficit, partly resulting from
payment Of dividends.
Altogether decline of nearly ST.
000, 0o0, 900 in liquid and capital assets
for the period was calculated, with the
implication that the loss had to be
met out of accumulated resources of
better years.
