the remaining logging camp could
be taken care of later.
Result was that the last of the
struck mills reopened next day.
NEW IDEA
FOR WAGE CHANGES
Steelman is elated by the set
tlement for more reasons than one.
First. he is tickled by the way
industry. labor and the defense
commission worked together-''It
was really Bransome who made
the conference possible" he re-
marks-and second. he sees pos
sibilities of vast Importance in one
clause Of the agreement which
ended the strike.
This clause, in brief. says that
there will be further negotiations
concerning wages next March. by
which time a special study OF con-
ditions in the Douglas fir industry
is to be completed by Dexter
Keezer. president of Reed college.
DIR. keezer is TO make this study
for the workers and employers to-
gether. assisted by experts sup
piled by Or. Isadore Lubin OF the
Labor Department. The hope is
that it will be possible to tie wage
rates in the industry in with the
price Of lumber in such a way
that the worker can automatically

Since neither Ford nor Odds
mobile had bid on the two panel
bodied units, frequent reference
was made to the low panel-job
bid of International, which in
combination with either sedan bid
would have amounted TO less than
the Dodge combination total of
S5.s17.
Titus explained he had talked
with the International man. but
he was not attending because he
had had some words over the deal
already. and didn't want to get
into this scrap because of other
business"
Who did he have words with ,"
Eastwood asked innocently.
Il understood he had some words
with you" Titus replied.
Nobody had any words with
me about il" Eastwood insisted.

Argue on Weights
With the help of a chart pro-
duced by Huffman, it was shown
that the Fords equipped with Mer-
curry motors as bid, weigh only As
pounds less than the Dodges
recommended by Eastwood.
Huffman showed that the Olds-
mobile is SO pounds heavier per
car than the Dodge and has nine
horsepower more.
Width of front seats entered
into the argument, both Titus and
Huffman showing wider seats for
their cars than the Dodge.
Titus further offered to guar
antee to maintain the Fords for
the same or no more cost than
the Dodges.

SUPT. HOLLOWAY LISTS
BUILDING PROGRAM
$l,l54,OO0 Program Is Recommended
At Meeting Last Friday

A building program of between
$1.154.OO0 and $1,522. 900 to increase
the facilities of state schools was
recommended to the State Board Of
Education at their meeting in Dover
last Friday by DR.. H. V. Holloway,
state superintendent of public in
slructiOn. DR.. Holloway said he had
prepared the program to show that
the schools building needs are not
complete. Districts, he added, may
bond themselves in the absence of
financial aid from the state.
The total cost Of the project varies
according to several alternate pro-
pOsals suggested by DR.. Holloway.
Included in the plan is 100000 for
a state education building In Dover,
which would house the State Library
Commission and a state museum.
The education boards offices would
be concentrated in this building.

Reckless s Governmental
Spending Flayed, Con-
demns Election Fraud.

The Republican State platform
which was approved Tuesday even
ing by the members Of the State
Committee. was delivered on the
floor of the convention, Wednesday,
by George C. Herring, Jr., Whining
ton attorney. Platform highlights
follow:
Under presend-day world condi-
tions an adequate national defense
is vital and Immediately necessary.
But we believe in an adequate ma
tional defense not for war but for
national security"
''The tradition against the third
term, iealOusly guarded for 16O
years, is an unwritten law with a
binding force as sacred as the
Constitution itself.
"The people are not in a position
to stand additional taxes, and bor-
rowing merely pushes into the fu-
ture the day Of reckoning. We must
provide sufficient money for ma
tiOnal defense, but we must also cut
ordinary government expenditures
and increase our revenue to point
of balancing the budget or we will
face national bankruptcy, at which
time it is the average man who will
suffer most"
THE needy and unemployables
must be. cared for and our citizens
must be secure in their old age. This
is an unacceptable duty Of a demOc-
racy."
I'VE favor the extension Of neces-
sary old age benefits on an ear
marked pay-as-you-gO basis to the
extent that the revenues raised for
this purpose will permit. We favor
the extension of the unemployment
provisions of the so
cial security act to those groups not
now included"
I'VE believe that every worker has
the constitutional right guaranteed
to him to choose his own occupation
and labor affiliation without cOer-
cion from any source"
I'VE advocate an amendment to
he State Constitution providing for
absentee voting at general elections. |
We condemn the fraud attempted by
certain leaders of the opposition
party in connection with absentee
1oting at the last general election" /
Under the Democratic admins
ration of 1897 the legislative at
aches were paid $94.629. and print
ng costs were S57,SS4. The Repub-
lean Legislature in 1889 paid at
aches $4,000 and printing costs of
iSS,625. We condemn these expen-
litures as excessive and advocate
constitutional amendment limiting
for salaries of legisla-
i've attaches and legislative printing
o a reasonable sum-"
I'VE pledge ourselves to maintain
nd improve our present system Of
highways, and to make every reason
BILE effort to reduce the loss of life
nd property thereon"

DELA. UNLIKELY TO GET
ANOTHER HOUSE SEAT
Population Increase OF II Per Cent
Is Not Sufficient

Delaware's increase of II per cent
ia population under the 1910 census
appears to be insufficient for 1t to
gain an extra member in the House
of Representatives in Washington.
While some states are looking on
enthusiastically for extra seats as a
result of gains in population. there
is considerable doubt that Delaware
will be fortunate enough to have
two members of the House, despite
the population increases.
Delaware's population rose 26,222
IN 10 years to a total OF 264,602.
The apportionment of members OF
the House of representatives, how
ever, based on the fifteenth census,

NEW DEAL METHODS

branding the Democratic party Of
Delaware as the "DO-Nothing Party" +"
Chief Deputy Attorney-General Clair
]. KillOran on Wednesday declared
the Republicans offer the state ''the
same constitutional and efficient
government such as the city of Will
mingtOn has enjoyed during the past
five years" under Mayor Walter w.
Bacon.
The Republican party will not
take over the functions of free en-
teIprise but instead will take care
that enterprise functions honestly
and will encourage it to function
more freely" Mr.. Killoran declared
in delivering the keynote speech Of
the Republican State Convention,
held in Dover.
Calling for a continuance of faith
liz constitutional democracy, Killor-
an in his keynote address compared
the political controversy of today
with that of 1776, and pointed out
that then, as now, it is a controVer-
sy between a government of law and
a government of men, between arbi-
trary power and a government by
the people"
Declaring that constitutional de-
mocracy is not only challenged
abroad but at home, he charged ''the
New Deal termites" with gnawing at
its foundation for nearly eight years.
New Deal Bureaucracy
"In Europe governments are call
ed relationships; in America we
have a bureaucracy" KiIloran stat
ed. But Just as rose by another
name would smell so sweet, so too
can government by another name
smell bad The dictators are at least
honest. They openly admit total
disregard for the rights and liber-
ties of the individual, and emphasize
the omnipotence of the state. The
New Deal has created q federal bu-
