Milford chronicle., 1938-09-09


Ralph Baker and his committe,
are. sliding right down along tn,
line and although 1t looks as If Tun
nell and Marvel win rule the roos
on the State Committee In 1889 anc
1910, they are afraid to put on the
heat" now before election and sc
Baker is running his Sussex county
committee and is going to be con-
sidered in a big way in his party
or else.
Somebody is going to pay the bill,
and the taxpayer is beginning to
find it out. When all this orgy of
foolish spending is over, when the
mismanagement of the Democratic
administration is through, some one
is going to pay the bill and guess
who it will be? Just you and /, the
little fellow who doesn't hold a job
in politics, who works at his own
= little business or runs his own lit
tie farm and then pays the bills for
the big fellow who is up ON the
band wagon with a Federal or State
, job while you and l go ahead and
work to pay of the mortgage. And
the funny thing is, 1t isn't just who
is going to pay the bill, we are al
ready paying it. On everything you
buy, you are paying more hidden
taxes for the politicians to spend.
The smaller automobiles ought to
be selling for around $500 but II is
the taxes on them that keeps the
price up. Everything is the same,
our pleasures are taxed and our ne
cessities are taxed. We cannot es-
cape the present administration. |
And the longer they continue to rule,
the taxes are getting higher. Ask
your wife, she knows if it costs
more to keep her house going. And
the farmer, the farmer who was go
ing to be helped so bOuntifully. Is
he helped? Oh, yes, he gets a little
hand out of SIS or $50 for doing
something to his crops or planting
something he is told to do and for
every $25 he receives he loses a
couple of hundred of low prices for
crops or high prices he pays for
what he needs to run his business.
We believe the farmer is getting
wise. We hope so. When he turns
away from this unlimited spending
and runs his farm his own way with
factories working and men employ
ed he won't need any hand out. He
will make money on his farm and
with his crops and do it without
some one telling him what to do.

The names of George Williams of
Sussex county and George Stewart
Of New Castle are being mentioned
for Congress on the Republican tic ,
ket. Aren't those two a credit to any /,
ticket, either one of them? We don't ,
tnow which will be named but we ,
10 know that either of them have /.

roters and tax payers of Delaware. ;
Whichever is nominated will be :
elected.
