Twenty years ago the Supreme
Court said. Primaries are in no
sense elections for an office
but, in l941, the Supreme Court
says, "a primary election. is an
election. subject to cangres-
sional regulation. Such changes
in the judicial interpretations of
the Constitution and Statutes are
inevitable and represent some of
the necessary shifting which
makes the framework of democ-
racy fit existing conditions.

The Citizen, in editorial para

Apparently Governor Carlton
believes that Florida should have
the unenviable distinction of
charging automobile owners
more to operate their cars than
! any other state in the Union.
There is only one other state,
New Mexico, which taxes them
so heavily as does Florida now,
and the governor has indicated
that he would add to the already
outrageous tax.
AT least nobobdy can read a
description of the new postoffice

do himself proud when he got
around to the job. There may
be bigger federal buildings in
Florida, but there will certainly
be nothing handsomer than the

The 1912 national wheat acre

Farmers in this country produce
more wheat than the home market
is able to use, explains L. E. Cain
of FELTON,, member of the State Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton committee, in pointing out
that large supplies are expected to
make marketing quotas necessary
for handling the 1941 crop.
During the past Is years. FARM
ers have produced an average Of
100 million bushels Of wheat more
than was consumed in this country.
In the past exports have furn-
ished an outlet for much of the
wheat produced above domestic
needs. But since the outbreak Of
the present war, wheat exports
have been alomst entirely cut off
by blockade AS a result, United

DEWEY'S VICTORY
A FADING MEMORY

Startling events which are hap
pening daily in a rapidly changing
world, tend to dull the memory of
historic episodes once vitality i'm
portant to our country. Such was
the battle of Manila Bay.
Forgotten is that May Day in
1898, when an American squadron,
commanded by Commodore George
Dewey, dared the mined channels
leading into the bay to engage the
Spanish fleet.
A few hours after the little ar
mazda of nine vessels had steamed
pat the threatening guns of Cor
regidor and entered the bay, the
Spanish fleet of twelve or more
vessels had been sunk or were afire.
u. S. Marines were landed at
Cavite almost as soon as the smoke
Of battle had cleared away and, ex-
cept for a brief interval, detach-
ments of sea soldiers have been
stationed there ever since.
In addition to those Oh duty at
the naval station at Cavite, some
III. S. Marines are stationed at
Olongapo, about fifty miles to the
northwest, while few others are
on duty at Manila or at radio and
smaller stations nearby.
Meanwhile, life has moved along
TRANQUILITY in the little town. Some
citizens of Cavite are employed in
the navy yard there. Less active
Filipinos enjoy their afternoon 81
estas and spend their evenings at
the movies. They are a sober, sen
sitive, patriotic people with a pas
sion for dancing and music and de-
vout in their religious worship.
Although the heroic Dewey Gied
in 1917, some of the veterans of the
battle of Manila Bay stu survive
Dewey's flagship, Olympia, still a
rather trim-looking craft, rides
peacefully at her dock in the Phila-
delphia Navy Yard, reminiscent OF
the morning when Dewey gave his
famous battle order: You may fire
when you are ready, Gridley."

This is almost enough wheat to
meet this country's wheat needs for
two years.
Another reason for large wheat
supplies is that the average person
in the United States eats less
wheat than formerly. The con-
sumption of wheat averaged A
bushels per person 20 years ago,
while in 1880 it was Al bushels,
and only 81 bushels per person in
1889. Although the population has
increased, the lower consumption
per person has prevented any APP
preciable increase of the total con-
sumption Of wheat.
Cain maintains that the fact that
the domestic market is not able to
absorb the wheat grown in this
country, coupled with the sharp
curtailment of exports, are factors
for Delaware wheat growers to
study carefully before the market
ing quota referendum on May 81.
