STRICTLY POLITICAL

children at work, a colony and
training school for feeble-minded, a
commission for the blind and the
large grants for the State Hospital
at Farnhurst. All brought about by
Republicans and operated by COM
missions who received no pay and
who never have been accused of
playing partisan politics. These are
in sharp contrast to the present
Democratic administration which is
already wanting to control the Leg
islature so they can do away with
present commissions and put in new
ones at large salaries. Could you
imagine Zack Wells, Jim Tunnel,
Lyons, ErrigO, the Laytons or the
Berls, debating the names of new
commissions and fixing salaries
without playing politics throughout
and paying" politics as well?
o.
Every tax payer no matter what
his politics might just as well face
the facts backed up by figures that
the present Democratic administra-
tion, if continued in Office in this
State is going to be compelled to
add more taxes on everyone. Prob
ably a personal tax. Anyway taxes
must be forthcoming if the spending
continues in Delaware. The State
expenses during the last year Of
Democratic rule showed an increase
of $433, 900. mainly increased by
making more jobs and paying larger
salaries. With many of the income
producing factors showing a de-
crease and with the outgo becoming
greater every month, there is just
one answer for the tax payer to face
and that is that ne must pay more
taxes. This is in sharp contrast to
the last years of the Republican
rule when taxes got lower and low
er until today Delaware has the low
est tax rate in the United States.
o.
Wonder what Charlie Terry !
thought of the recent broadcasting |
of the fact that for every six dollars !
taken in today his corporation de-
partment spends one dollar while
ten years ago only one dollar was
spent for every one hundred dollars
taken in? What is the reason? Many
answer that II is increased salaries
and more employees under the DEM
ocratic economy" promises.

Kent county Republicans are real
~ getting together in old time shape
and real observers are predicting a
big shake-up in the political COM
plexiOn of the county at the next
election. With both factions really
putting their shoulders to the wheel
there is every reason to believe that
hey are going to land some Of the
county offices.
In direct contrast to the harmony
hat is existing among the Republi-
cans of Kent county is the antagon-
SIN of the Democratic factions in
Sussex. If the Sussex Republicans
iont do anything but make out a
good country ticket, the Democratic
actions are going to defeat them
selves. In fact many of the old time
Democrats are getting disguested
With the whole raft Of would-be
eaders.
Wonder II people notice how ev-
rything is increasing in price when
hey buy while everything coming in
S cut a little lower? Even the old
ashioned penny newspaper has
nally advanced to three cents. Just
small thing but showing very
lainly how the wind is blowing.
axes are being hidden so that many
o not know that they are paying
ueh taxes but these small things
ometimes bring the matter force
bly, to their attention. Tax payers,
ow much longer are you going to
tand for this sort of government?
