tempt an increase in this tax of
nearly so years of uniform stand
ing. Formerly, until 1927, the cor
poration tax was supplemented by
a so-called filing fee of SO per cap
ita and a real estate tax at rate of
$3.50 per $1,000 of assessed value.
These supplementary taxes were
abolished when the increase in COR
poratiOn taxes warranted the redu-
ction in total load. For the present
we might expect annual revenue of
$1.000,000 from these sources if re-
vived.

use them only.
Real Estate Tax
"As schools and roads, which
have been generally supported els
where by direct taxes on real es-
tate, impose only very light bur-
den on real estate in Delaware at
present, a moderate increase in our
very low real estate taxes in the
counties might be a fair exaction
for general purpose.
"In the above l have made sug-
gestions that seem ample. However
l am not acquainted with the pres
ent budgetary needs.
''The budget for the years 1948
and 1949 submitted to and accepted
by the Legislature predicted sur
plus of about $7,O00,000 on July /,
1949.
With the use of bonds to supply
the funds for capital expenditures

1851. should be limited to the cash

incomes, such as was used to meet
Immediate emergencies in the year
1884 and 1914 and should add 81

and current revenues.
Looking to the future one more
source Of revenue should have our
sincere attention, that is, the re-
duction of federal taxes. In the
year 194S Delaware provided $115,-
100000 in individual income taxes ;
it received in distribution $4,000.

$1,000 of assessed valuation was
also suggested by Mr.. DUPONT.
The filing fee and the state tax
on real estate were abolished in
1927 when receipts Of corporation
taxes increased, Mr.. DUPONT said.
The two taxes would produce reve-
nue. of about $1.000,000.
Mr.. dupont, in his letter, said:
Some time ago, about March / 1
believe. the Secretary of State re-
quested the State Tax Department
to submit information in re-
gard to increase of State Revenue
by means of additional taxation.
Mr.. Alfred L. Boning, Assistant tax
Commissioner, Immediately sub
mitted an answer upon which L
complimented him for the speed
and clearness of his presentation.
Doubtless this report has come to
your notice.
"In my letter written to Mr.. Bon
ing on March / said, AS ex-
perience has shown us the effect
of a gross income tax of one per
cent. it would seem wise to adopt
this plan if more revenue must be
raised,
Il adhere to this recommends
tiOn but don't admit the wisdom OF
an increase in the rate above one
per cent. Beyond that figure one
must consider the need for revenue
and act accordingly.
Highway Bonds
"If more highways are needed
our present authority for issuing
bonds to finance them is sufficient
and the burden of payment will

in the future. No better or fairel

Russians Due 10 Fiqht !
Truman Aid Program.
Before u. n. Tomorrow
BY the Assoeiafsc Press

BY fhe ASSoeidfeo PFesS
LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. ga
source familiar with Soviet views
said today the Russians regard
President Truman's bold new
program" as just another way of
spreading the Marshall Plan
around the world.
AS such, this source added,
the Russians can be expected to
fight it vigorously in the United
Nations Economic and Social
Council and wherever it comes up
in the U. N.
Semen K. Tsarapkin, Soviet
delegate on the Economic and So
cial Council, kept silent on the
Truman program yesterday after
Willard L. Thorp. American AS
sistant Secretary Of State, started
the ball rolling in the Council
with a speech laying down pre-
iiminary views.
Expects to Make Address.
Tsarapkin said his English was
not good enough to permit him to
understand all Of Mr.. Thorp's
speech, but that he expected to
speak Monday in the developing
debate.
Polish Delegate Juliusz
Katz-Suchy, who has repeat
edly attacked the Marshall
Plan and just about every other
American policy in the U. N,
also is shaping up an attack on
the new idea for Monday)
Christopher p. Mayhem, British
delegate to the Council who be-
came the center of a controversy
over Marshall Plan aid to Britain.
may state his governments views
that day also.
Mr.. Thorp held out a tentative
olive branch to the Soviet bloc
when he told a news conference
that he saw no reason why, in the
field Of technical cooperation,
there cannot be contributions
from all countries to a U. N. pro-
gram. regardless Of their economic
structure.
The expression drew from
Soviet source later the opinion
that the whole bold new pro-
gram" was nothing but move to
push the Marshall Plan around
the world and spread American
capitalism.
No Sign Of Soviet Aid.
There appeared to be no dis
position at this stage for the
Soviet government to make any
effort toward U. N. program de-
signed to help backward areas.
Mr.. Thorp stressed at his news
conference that the United States
was not trying to run the show
here. He said he had not men,
toned activities intended to help
backward areas which the United
States may expand outside the
U. N. He said there already has
been charges that the United
States takes too important a part
in the U. N. and that he merely
was trying to suggest what it was
possible for the U. N. to do.
He indicated the United States
now would sit back and see what
the other y. N. members had to
contribute.
Outside of the Russian bloc,
there was great interest today In
the plan, particularly as to how
much money the United States
might be expected to put into any
U. N. program for helping the
backward areas. But Mr.. Thorp
and all other American sources
indicated now is not the time to
talk about money. This would
come at later stage.

was turned on the wall, the picture
appeared. When this light was
focused on people, it made the cal

In another room there was a
