SEE NEW TAXES
FOR DELAWARE
CONTINUED From Page onel

constitute a great nuisance act
Any licensing or changing of pri-
vate and corporate structures will
only retard business recovery to
an additional degree. 1t is, how
ever, from the angle of the loss of
revenue to the State of Delaware
that I protest most decidedly.
While it is true that our revenues
froc operations and franchise tax
les have declined, remedial legisla-
ton was adopted by the 1887 ses-
sion of our legislature to raise
these revenues. Such revenues in
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1887, amounted to $2,757, ,581.36 as
follows: Corporation fees, $216,-
280; Franchise Tax and penalties,
$2,541 300; total $2,757, $50. The
great majority Of this income is
pledged to the operation of our
school system. For years it has
been the principal source of school
income. The passage Of this act,
as licensing act alone, will cause
a decline in this course of income,
and the passage Of this act, as a
Federal Incorporation act, would
virtually entirely eliminate this
source of revenue. The States
only alternative would be to raise
additional taxes from other sources
to maintain our schools. Consider,
for example, real estate. In our
State the total assessed valuation
Of real estate now for county pur-
poses only, is S3O4 $50, ,837.46. TO
raise S2,757, ,581. SO from real estate
would mean additional taxation at
the rate Of S.91 per hundred of as
sessed valuation. In rural sections
alone this would more than treble
the present taxation. Such an in
crease in real estate taxes would
be as equally repugnant as the
lowering of our school standards.

the universities, which are exclusively
white schools. Several years ago
pharmaceutical student in durham
sought admission at the University
in Chapel Hill, but the actual issue
did not reach the courts because the
student was not qualified to enter. It
is contended by persons who under
stand the principle of segregation in
North Carolina life, that the law will
not govern in the higher institutions,
that Negroes cannot be barred from
attendance upon the graduate courses
at the university.
Negro leaders, especially in Green's
boro and Durham, discourage the agi-
tation and count the gains of 1887 and
the special session as great enough to
justify their hope that in a very short
time there will be a Negro university
giving full graduate courses. They
prefer their own graduate schools,
they say, and they bid for the poll
tical goodwill of North Carolinians by
saying they wish their teachers train
ed in North Carolina to meet North
Carolina needs. Anyway, the 1897 and
the special session took away about
all the legal ammunition that the op-
position needed. That the State is re-
quired to furnish the facilities that
are demanded is SO far recognized
that legislation of this character was
undertaken in 1885.
North Carolina ropriations for
Negro education have been large in
the aggregate, but there are five such
institutions in the State and the in
dividual amount has been popularity
regarded far, below the actual needs.
The NATIONAL administration in Wash
ingtot is considered quite friendly to
the enterprise. But Durham, Green's
boro, Raleigh and Salisbury, from

A General Election.
Well, the prime minister suffers a

ate decides against me, I'm out for
good-unless, subsequently, there's a
resurge in my favor"
So a general election follows.
The prime minister, being, after all,
only one of his party's parliamentary
candidates, is at perfect liberty to go
out and electioneer for any one or

Rose drew first blood, scoring 2
run in the initial inning when German
was safe on Ross error, and 5. Boya
tripled him home. Speed got hit IN
the third, and Moseley poled a long
one in the sixth that was good for a
triple, but he was thrown out trying
to stretch it into a home run. GarmaH
got the fourth hit of Rose just after
Mosaley was thrown out.
The Lions scored a run in the third
inning to tie the score, and then
in the fourth staged a rampage that
netted six hits and seven runs. Two
walks and an error, coupled with six
hits, two of them by Dodd, single
end a double netted the tallies. The
Lions added another in the fifth for
