Council Of Wilmington, both Re-
publican in major personnel, to-
ward this end 1t also criticizes
the Democratic State administra-
tion for failing to take timely ac-
ton" in the emergency in Whining
ton last winter.
The party commits itself to
strive to afford the opportunity for
work at a saving wage for all who
are willing and able to work. 1t
promises to meet emergencies re-
sulting from unemployment. Re
viewing social security and old age
welfare, the platform stresses that
Delaware under a Republican ad-
ministration was pioneer in So
cial legislation" Expressing sym
pathy with any legislation which
provides a greater measure of Sc
curity for wage earners, it attacks
the present operation of the social
security act by the New Deal
Pension Law Revision
One plank pledges the party to
work continuance Of the principle
of social security on an economical
ly sound basis; for the principle
that money collected by taxation
from the employer and employee
constitutes a trust fund for the
benet employee and aged and shall
be earmarked for that purpose.
The platform recommends a revis-
ion Of the old age pension laws $50
as to make all aged persons above
a given age eligible for benefits
hereunder
Tax Cuts Advocated
"A gradual reduction of all taxes
and of certain classes of license
fees, including a reduction of the
fee for drivers licenses and for the
registration of motor vehicles to an
amount in keeping with the actual
cost of the administration of the
motor vehicle law in this respect,
and the abolition of the existing
State dog taxes, was advocated.
This, the platform holds, can be
made possible by a return to the
sound economic policies Of former
State administrations.
Other subjects of the platform
are Freedom of religion, health and
youth and government,
taxes and economy, education, fed
eral licensing bill, highways, agri-
culture and drainage, liquor con-
troll, equal rights for women, vet
Grams, conservation, minor judic-
iary, negro citizens, business and
and State finances.
Smyrna times., 1938-09-22
Waste of Funds Charged

The platform charges the New
Deal has plunged the State and ma
tion into uncertainty with waste of
funds while 100000 are still un-
employed. On relief, the platform
points to accomplishments of Re-
publican administrations in aiding
the needy and ill. IT cites expendi-

TRIALS OF AN AUTHOR

pr. A. E. Hertzler of Halstead, Kansas, whose book Horse and Buggy Doctor" is a current rage had the amusing and somewhat ex- asperating experience of most auth ors when his book came out.
 For days after it's publication the doctor was unable to secure a copy Reviews of it began to appear; friends wrote that they had obtain. ed the book: inquiries began to come in, including not a few from indigent persons who proclaimed themselves lifetime well wishers oi Dr. Hertzler's, and might they pre- sume to ask for the loan of a few dollars. Still no book found it's way into the Hertzler home.
 Finally the Halstead physician wrote to his publisher and, days later, received a tardy volume. As he expresses it himself:
 Nobody is so unimportant as an author at the publication of his book, except a father at the birth of his child" Kansas City Star.

A TIMELY WARNING

Senator Pat Harrison Of Missis- sippi. who as Chairman of the Ft- nance Committee Of the United States Senate is a potent factor in government spending. has sounded a note Of warning concerning the vast appropriations made by Con gress, and the rapidly mounting federal debt.
 Addressing the State Democratic Committee on the subject recently. and using the W. P. A. as an ex- ample or excessive spending. he said:
 We realize that we've got to take care of the starving and the homeless, but you know and know that there are thousands on the WPA rolls that have no business there. It isn't making for a better citizenship Of the country. We've got too many people in America who think the Government exists primarily to take care of them
 While praising the President as 9 great humanitarian leader and serving new notice of his indepen- dence of the administration in major fiscal policies, Senator Harrison de- clared that excessive federal spend ing must cease"
 He thanked the State Democratic Committee for their recent reference to him as good presidential timber and said that he had not been touched by the presidential bee
 He added, T regret to say that l do not believe any man from the deep South will ever be president"

This announcement is made in view of the order that the mini mum wage is to be $11 per week. The Western Union can pay this but it will mean the public will pay more. If not, and in the absence of messengers, the messages will be telephoned, or some other substitu- tion provided, but which cannot he guaranteed to give entire satisfac- tion.
