Word comes from Kent county
that the Republican party, without
outside interference, is running its
own affairs. Every worker has
right to his place in the sum and
will be rewarded for his accomplish
ments. No political chaceleons (hip
ffoppers to you) or party drones,
need expect preference. A Repubii-
can party organization is in the
making which let's local districts Sc
lect their own candidates and pick
their own job holders. The county
has a right to go Republican this
November. All it needs is cooperation
among Republicans. That is really
good news and comes from one who
knows what he is talking about.

The new State Republican head
quarters at Rehoboth Beach on the
second floor OF the Belhaven Hotel,
facing the boardwalk is meeting eV-
erywhere with commendatiOn among
Republicans. Despite the rains the
rooms have been filled every evening
and many afternoons. Nearly every
one takes a trip to RehOboth Beach
during the summer, and while the
wife and family can take a walk
along the boardwalk and meet their
friends, the husband can slip up
into the club room and meet some of
the boys and talk a little politics.
Several meetings held there during
the past week or two have been
very harmonious ones, with every
one saying what he pleased about
the party leadership and his ideas
for bringing out the vote without
any one sitting down on him. It
is a real idea and is bearing good
fruit.

STRICTLY POLITICAL

| George Williams, the former State
Treasurer, has denied that he is
candidate for Congressman. He ma
turally is not adverse TO the honor
if given him, but he is not an active
candidate. Many Republicans still
consider him as the next Republican
choice for Governor when Sussex
sounty's turn comes around. ANY
wav il works. Williams is a strong
man with the voters of Delaware and
when he is on the ticket he will poll
a real vote.
Chauncey HOlcOmb (executive)
secretary to the State Highway Com
mission and some say, the real boss
of the whole department, inciden-
tally also conducts weekly news
paper I'm New Castle. In a recent
issue he declares in print that (un-
der Democratic rule) it will prob
ably be necessary to raise more
money by increased taxation in some
form and wants to go on record as
seriously advocating the establish
ment of a State Lottery. Wonder
how the decent people Of the State,
the church going people who do not
believe in gambling with slot ma
chimes, poker games or even State
Lotteries, will like that solution of
the problem of how to keep the DEM
ocratic State Administration in
funds and jobs by a State gambling
machine? Do the Democrat pOliti-
clans advocate that method? We
have been saying all along that the
Delaware taxpayers are facing more
taxes under the inefficient and ex-
pensive methods they have used in
running the State Departments with
more employees than necessary and
higher wages than is reasonable, but
we did not think they would want
State gambling to help them out.
Again we ask how the church mem
bers of the State and the better class
Of citizens like that idea?

The most vulnerable provision ad-

Mccormack of Massachusetts and
Lamneck of Ohio filed a separate

Republican members of the COM

blamed New Deal taxes for the

closely held corporations is a polit-

Chairman Pat Harrison, Demo-

THESE three dresses are up
i high on the list of fashions ia
vorites, and you can easily make
them at home by using our simple,
easy-to-follow patterns, each ac-
companied by complete and de-
tailed sew chart. Start right now,
for even if there's shiver in the
air at this moment, Easter is not
very far off! And you'll want to
be ready!
Dress With Lifted Waistline.
This is a very, very popular
fashion because it makes you look
so slim and graceful, what with
the waistline high in front, and
soft gathers above it, the gently
f1aring skirt. Made up in prett
print or silk crepe, it will be lovely
for Easter and for all Spring. Be
sure to wear a bunch of flowers at
the neckline.
A Jumper Frock for Girls.
This is one of the sweetest and
most becoming styles ever invent
ed for girls of school age, just
about the time they begin to shoot
up so fast that you can almost see
them grow! Make the jumper of
linen, Bingham or percale, and
why not make two or three blouses
to 60 with it? One of linen, one of
dimity, and one of organdie.
Everybody Likes Dirndl Frock.
The square neckline, the full
ripping skirt and tight little waist,
are so fla+tering to slim figures!
Here's a charming dirndl with just
the right air of quaintness and
freshness about it. Choose gay
lowered print, or cheerful plain
color, pale or bright. But be sure,
whether you make it up in silk or
cotton, to choose crisp fabric so
that the skirt will flare as it should.

vestigation of the whole IVA setup
and its activities. o.
A commission appointed by fed
eral court in Tennessee reported the
claims of Berry and his associates
were worthless because their prop
critics could not be proftably operat-
ed commercially.
Chairman Morgan then issued a
long statement revealing that the
quarrel in the authority was due not
to differences between himself and
his colleagues over policy, but to his
efforts to obtain honesty, openness,
decency and fairness in govern
ment."
DR.. Morgan intimated that the
Berry deal was only part of the
issue of honesty and decency which
he had to face and that there was a
lot more he would like to tell a con-
gressional committee.
Li1ienthal and Harcourt Morgan
retaliated with long defense state
ment, severely criticizing the chair
man and suggesting that he retire
from the commission. President
Roosevelt made public this state
ment, leading observers to believe
he rather sided with them. But
Chairman Morgan replied that he
would not resign under fire and in
letter to Representative Maverick
of Texas reiterated his demand for
an investigation by congress. Reso-
lutions for such an inquiry were in
troduced, and Senator Norris, pa
tron saint of IVA and similar prof.
ects, sought either to smother the
proposed probe or to see that it
was carried on by friendly hands.
In the midst of the rumpus Lilien-
thai announced that the government
is willing to buy the properties of
private electric power companies in
the IVA area provided the owners
will sell them at sacrifice prices.
The utility officials interested were
invited to fneetg him and Harcourt
Morgan for a discussion. 4Lilienthal
said that if the proposed purchases
were carried out, private power en-
terprises would be eliminated in
northern Alabama, northeastern
mississippi and nearly all Of Ten
nessee, He also announced that the
iva would be ready to advance cit
iesu in the area, otherwise unable
financially to purchase local power
plants, funds from an appropriation
of $50, 100000 voted by congress in
the recently amended iva act.

Widens Tax Field

TN A 5 to 2 decision Of far reach
ing implications, sweeping aside
more than a century of precedents,
the United States Supreme court
held that income from leases of
state school lands is not immune
from federal taxation.
Justice Pierce Butler, dissenting
with Justice James Clark Mercy
nolds, said it was impossible to
foresee the extent to which the
courts opinion upsets the long set
tied principle of reciprocal tax inn
munity in our dual system of gov
eminent.
The decision was the latest of a
series in which the Supreme court
has greatly narrowed the field of
reciprocal tax immunity.
