A fixed price of 64.64 cents ar
ounce for domestically-mine silver
became effective today to the ex.
pressed disappointment Of Western
members Of Congress who had asked
President Roosevelt to maintain the
previous figure Of 7757 cents.
Mr.. Roosevelt established the new
price without explanation in . procla-
nation timed Just before the New Yeal
began. It's terms are to continue
through 1888, subject, however, tc
modification at the Presidents dis
cretion.
The price the Treasury will pay
United States producers Is still well
above the world market, which ha.
been steady at As cents an ounce foz
year. The reduction, however
brought the domestic price back to
the rate originally set four years age
when the administration adopted the
policy of paying . premium to assist
the Western mining industry.
Such q premium, long sought by
legislators from silver-producing States
Of the West, had been criticised else
where as having infiationary aspects
The reduction affects metal mine,
employing about 100000 persons.

Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada, predicted the new price might
force the closing Of some silver mines
as well as zinc. copper, lead and
other mines which produce silver q

"unwarranted and disheartening," and

NEW YEAR CROWDS
GAY AND ORDERLY
Hi|arity Rules in Hotels,
Clubs and Homes in
Big Celebration.
Pictures on page A-14.)

Washington hailed the New Year
and its coming IL months with an
exuberance which apparently was
tempered somewhat by sober thoughts
of the future.
The crowds were big. noisy and in q
spending mood. but they broke up
earlier, created less disturbance and
left fewer stragglers in lock-ups than
the hilarious mobs who drummed in
1897.
Most of the police precincts greeted
the morning after the night before with
fewer drunks and disorderly persons
IN their cells than are collected on
normal week ends or after Federal
pay days.
This did not mean, however, that
there was any lack of celebrating.
Midtown streets and sidewalks were
jammed at the stroke of midnight with
motors whose sirens swelled the bedlam
OF yelling pedestrians swinging noise
makers and footing horns.
Over a Capital city ablaze with
lights that twinkled and frothed like
champagne floated the echoes of loco
motive whistles and the drone of occa-
sional airplanes. Downtown crowds
seemed TO find something symbolic in
the Illuminated, moonlike faces of
the four-sided clock in the old Post
Ofdce tower. When the long hands
pointed straight upward bedlam broke
loose down streets and avenues teem-
ing with humanity.
Many Traffic Jams.
Traffic jams resulted, but no one
seemed to mind. On Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets and on connecting
thoroughfares motor cars were bumper
to bumper and the sidewalks were
full to overnowing. Patrons of night
clubs and hotel supper places were
caught in the whirl. Silk hats new
into the air. No ons seemed to
know whether they were tossed by
rtghtful owners or by persons bent on
humor,
Virtually every hotel dining room
and night club was booked to capacity
last night-crowded with guests who
spent up to SO each for the privilege
Of getting seat at a table. Perhaps
the largest throngs Of dancing cele-
orators held forth at the Shoreham
and Wardman Park Hotels, where all
available space had been reserved
days in advance. At least 1000
dancers were received at each hotel.
Through the bedlam of a city bent on
pleasure sounded church bells at mid
night summoning the religious to spe-
cial services Of welcome to the new
year. Scores Of churches throughout
Washington were thronged with wor.

hope that a reconstructed Su-
preme Court would approve
such an enactment and sweep
aside decisions that go back
more than a century as well
as those of recent years.
"But the President is not
alone in his view, just as
there is powerful opposition
to the expedient he has put
forward. When the present
tax revision bill was before
the Senate on April 9, Senator
Borah obtained the insertion
in it of his amendment sub

what the President is seeking.

State Liquor Commission

With the appointment OF
Richard T. Cam, Jr., as exec
utive secretary the Delaware
Liquor Commission, following
the change in administration
personnel, is reorganized for
continuance of its work in &C
cordance with the plan which
has been followed. We quite
agree with our Wilmington
contemporary that ''Mr. Cam,
like the new commissioner,
Willard Springer, Jr., has
had business experience
which is a necessary re-
quisite. After all, the oper-
alton of the Liquor Com
mission is a matter of bust
ness which affects the we'll be-
ing of the whole state. The
commission has in its keeping
the interests of the public.
The new administration ought
to be able to carry on in the
same satisfactory manner as
did its predecessor. The i'm
portant consideration is to en-
force the law. We do not
doubt that this will be done.
"There is a capable working
force. 1t was selected on the
basis Of ability and faithful
ness. It has had experience.
It's selection and retention
was a responsibility Of the
commissioner. It il assumed
that the same policy in this,

same sound objection to con-
stitutional legislation to end
tax immunity on future fed
eral and state obligations as
there would be to removing
the exemption granted in
good faith on outstanding OBJ
legations.
Legislation such as the
President is sponsoring will
be of doubtful benefit in the
long run, for federal, state,
and local governments would
have to pay much higher in

The new dial system fol-

went into effect on schedule
time Sunday last, May Is, and
is the joy of all subscribers.
The change-over was made by
the Diamond State Telephone
system without the Interrupt
ton of a single call. The dial
system is Of the latest type
and is a far advance over the
magnetic hand generator sys-
TEN which Smyrna had been
using. The people Of Smyrna
and vicinity are glad to have
and enjoy the new dial sys-
TEN and are giving praise to
the Diamond State Telephone
Company for the up-to-date
service. The new building
erected back On the lot acquir-
ed from G. r. Stevenson, for
merly the Davis property, is
ample to house the new equip
ment installed by the Western
Electric Company which for
neatness, compactness and de-
sign is the last word in cleo
trio construction and service.
The Diamond State Telephone
Company is putting this in
Smyrna at a cost of over $40,-

icy, a desire to give Delaware
the best and most up-to-date
service possible.

States Sensible Tax Policy

The public benefit from Del
aware's favorable tax situa-
ton is becoming known and
appreciated by all in the state.
Already it has been shown to
be a business stimulant and
as one Of our contemporaries
puts it ifs a valuable com
mercitl asset"
Former-Gov. G. d. Buck,
president Of the Equitable
Trust Co., in his recent an
nual report to the stockhold-
ers Of his company, comment
ing upon the growth of the
trust company business, said
"this growth is due in large
part to Delaware's favorable
tax situation" One spokes-
man for a manufacturing in
dustry about to locate in Della
ware admitted our state tax
policy was one of the induce
ments for coming to Della
ware.
In another instance expert
ence has shown that business
already operating in Delaware
is benefiting by our sensible
policy. In the other instance
it is plain that our fair treat
/ment as to levies is attractive
to business elsewhere when
seeking new locations. 1t is
so different from what some
other states are doing in the
matter Of taxation.
Perhaps our first obligation,

is to protect the interests Of
residents. There is, however,

Tax Exemption Proposal

Our contemporary TIL {
Morning News recently had
this to say: aside from
the question Of constitutional
iity involved in the procedure
he outlined, one Of the most
serious phases Of President
Roosevelt's proposal to re-
move all income tax exemp-
tons from future federal and
state bond issues, and from
public salaries, is the possibil-
ity that it may lead to an at
tempt by Congress to levy a
tax on income from all tax
exempt public bond issues
federal, state, and locaI-now
outstanding, as well as on flu
ture issues. This, Of course,
would be in the nature Of a
violation of the contract I'M
der which the obligations
were purchased a repudia-
ton Of the kind that has no
place in honest business.
president Roosevelt was
clear in applying his recon-
mendations only to obliga-
lions to be issued hereafter,
but there will be a temptation
to many members of Con-
gress, and to others, to try to
subject the "vast reservoir"
of tax-exempt securities to
exactions, regardless of the
fact that those securities
were sold with the express
proviso that they were not
subject to income tax.
Numerous high court de
cisions have upheld the tax
exemption Of federal and
state securities under the
Constitution. But the slow
but sure process Of amend
ing the Constitution does
not appeal to Presid e n t
Roosevelt, who advocates a

ture exemptions, with the
