did not find 1t expedient to express in

This would involve promises on the part
of business leaders and bankers that they
would discourage price, -kiting Of the kind
that has just put a knife into one recov-
cry movement.
There are strong indications that the
President may be ready now to move in
this direction. AS one of his left-wing
advisers expressed 1t privately during
this past week:
"The time has come for crow-eating on
both sides. The President should recog-
nize mistakes that he may have made
and should be willing to forgive busi-
ness leaders for some of the unwarranted
opposition and attacks directed at him.
Business leaders-those possessing sufh-
cient perspective to see the forces at
work in the world-should recognize
their mistakes and forgive the President
for some of the things he has done under
provocation.
"A meeting of minds, once bygones are
allowed to be bygones, could result in
very tangible gains and in positive
chances of real progress. Without a
meeting at this stage, the outlook is not
so good"
For if the struggle between the Gov
eminent and business is to go on, Mr..
Roosevelt may be forced to fourth
course.
This alternative to drifting or pump
priming or cooperation lies in the field
OF control. The President might demand
of Congress strong wage and hour con-
trolls. He probably will get the basis for
strong control in agriculture. He could
ask for new authority to drive against
big units in business and could set out
on . new campaign designed to force
business and labor to do the things that

INAUGURAL OF
GOVERNOR BIGGS

The inaugural was the event of
today. The crowd of people in
town was the smallest ever known
on an occasion of this kind The
Oldest inhabitants say they never
saw such a small concourse of peo-
pie. Gov. Biggs arrived on the
noon train and was escorted by the
Middletown band to the residence
of Hon. Eli Salisbury. After a
short sojourn there he was escort
ed to the State House, where the
Legislature Joined the procession,
which proceeded to the Court
House, where Governor-elect Biggs
was sworn in by the Chancellor.
After the oath was administered
the Governor read his address to a
large crowd.
Governor Biggs' inaugural ad-
dress delivered yesterday on his
taking the oath of office has the
merit of clearness, force and posi-
tiveness of statement, and thus
commends itself to the people of
the state of all shades of opinion.
1t certainly, in several important
particulars, marks an advanced
step in the direction of progress
over his predecessors in Office, and
if he follows the line of policy
marked out, his will bear the des-
ignation of an administration of
progress. He seems to have lack
ed the courage however of Gov.
Stockley in meeting the questions
of Prohibition and License-ignor-
ing them entirely through no single
topic of his address has agitated
the public mind half so much as
the evils growing out of the use of
spirituous liquors.

GOV. BUCK GIVES
LAST MESSAGE
Recommends Reducing Tax of
Gasoline One Cent Be-
ginning July 1st
SAYS HIS FAREWELL

Gov. c. Douglass Buck recon-
mended a one-cent reduction in the
state gasoline tax, effective July 1,
in his farewell message to the Leg
/ islature, at a joint session of the
two houses Friday. He expressed
an opinion the reduction would re-
suit in such an increase in gasoline
use that the equivalent of one-half
the loss incurred would be made
up in increasd sales. Enactment
of this recommendation would re-
duce the state gasoline tax from
four cents to three cents per gal
Ion. The governor suggested doing
away with the so-called manufac-
turer's tax of one-fortieth of one
per cent on aggregate gross re-
ceipts, as an added inducement for
industry to locate in Delaware. He
declared that industry looks on the
assessment as a nuisance tax and
since the revenue it produces is
nominal its loss would be inconse-
quential as compared to the degree
of goodwill which would be Great
ed among industrialists by its re-
peal. He recommended repeal of
the county capitation tax since it
is trivial and its forced collection
is Improbable. Stating he is un-
able to find any taxes collected un-
der the state property tax law, he
recommended doing away with it.
The reduction of the gasoline tax
from four to three cents, he said.
would mean a loss of at least S45O,-
600 in revenue to the State High
way Department. yet 1 am pre-
pared to believe" he wen on, that
one cent reduction in the tax will
result in such an increase in con-
sumption that the equivalent of
one-half the loss incurred will be
made up in increased sales" The
state gasoline tax was increased
from three to four cents a gallon
effective July, 1885. Senate Presi-
dent Protein w. A. Simonton pre-
sided over the joint session. Lieut.
Gov. R. F. Corley occupied a place
on the rostrum on his right and
Speaker j. r. Fader on his left. |

Chauncey P. Holcomb, majority
floor leaders, were named a COM

were Mrs. John B. Jessup and Mr..
and Mrs. c. Judd Stewart. Secre-
tary of State Walter Dent Smith
also occupied a reserved seat.
Other prominent Republicans were
present. In relinquishing his Of
flee, Governor Buck said he was
pleased with the thought that some
OF the things he had hoped to ac-
complish had been realized. mo
greater honor can come to any
man than the bestowal of the con-
fidence of the people, and no higher
form of appreciation can be shown
than to hold their trust inviolate,"
the governor said. This I have

This step is a definite remuneration
Of all eommercialism in athletics.
For many years the college has
followed the consistent policy of
refusing to give athletic scholar

following a similar policy is John
