SUN RIVER ELECTRIC
COOP PAID HEAVY TAX
I'M 1852

Taxes amounting to $7,690.17 were
paid by the Sun River Electric Co
operative for the year 1862, accord
ing to C. G. McDermott, Secretary
of the rural electric cooperative
Most of the taxes were paid on
property, consisting mainly of power
lines in counties. An amount of ST.
$3.50 in addition was paid as pay
roll and other taxes.
AS the cooperative is non-prof-
it organization, all income in ex-
cess of expenditures is distributed
among more than 1880 patrons in
the form of capital credits on which
income tax is payable.
Headquarters of the cooperative
are in Fairfield Members of the
Board of Trustees are: Leland G.

try that constituted the Circuit
Court District. Then a few days be-
fore Eberlein was to announce fol
the Circuits Court, his able helper
Joe flooded the district with letters
announcing his own candidacy. Eb-
erlein fired him from the law office
but did not announce in opposition
In a costly campaign of smearlne
tactics Joe became Judge Mccarthy
The opposition still wonders where his
funds came from.
The Mccarthy judicial career
makes long and involved story in
itself. Bedtime judicial speed, po-
itical decisions, departures from
long established rules lost or stolen
records and a scheme of exchanging
work so as to get the new judge
into as many other judicial dis
tricts, as possible are its highlights.
Then came War II and its heroes
began to get front page space. Nc
Carthy was commissioned First
Lieutenant in the Marines in Aug
ust 1912 and discharged as a Cap
tain in the fall of 1914. Officially he
was an intelligence officer-a desk
job-but probably did go along on a
few scouting and possibly a bombing
mission or two. Most of his service
was in areas that had been captured
months before he saw them. There is
no record of injury except broken
foot sustained while engaged in equa-
tor crossing pranks. Yet, while eh
was in the South Pacific and for
months after his return, Wisconsin |

port of the Chicago Tribune and thel
took the votes of hundreds of Wis
consin Progressives, who were angry
because Senator Bob Lafollette hat
disbanded the Progressive Party anC
gone back to the Republicans fol
nomination. The primary campaign
was heavily financed and the state
was heavily hit with an avalanche OF
Mccarthy literature and smear tactics
and little discussion of issues. Joe
became the Republican nominee in
the primary and Junior US. Sen
ator in the November election. The
new statesman had violated the con-
stitution of Wisconsin by running for
another office without resigning as
judge but that has not seemed to
trouble him much.
An eligible bachelor and politi-
cal marvel, Senator Mccarthy was
social lion in Washington. He
played this line hard but two
things were apparently more i'm
portant to him, namely abundant
publicity and plenty of money. In
most of the political fights that
came along he got in on the side
that would satisfy these require
ments. Pepsi-Cola Co., VS.. sugar
rationing, the real estate lobby VS..
public housing, more power for
the Marine Corps VS.. other armed
services. The Lustron Corp. in a
81 million dollar steal, in defense
of the Malmedy massacre, and fin
ally he hit a real jack pot for both
lime light and jack. 1t was the
Communist bogy VS.. the State De-
partment.
Protected by the legal immunity
hat a Senator has this attack led
% open charges and smears on Presi-
lent Truman, General Marshall, Gen
raj Eisenhower, Secretary Atchison,
Secretary Mathews, Ambassador Jes-
up, Senator Tydings, Publisher Hen
Y Luce and others. No communist |
vas ferreted out and none of the If
charges were ever proven
ut this almost daily crusade made
he name Mccarthy known in every
amlet in America and it brought |
1 untold thousands of dollars from
frightened public which jumped
, the conclusion that so much smoke h
lust conceal some fire. By the spring
1852 Joe's critics were so num-
rous that he was driven to attacks
n most of the larger newspapers,
lagaZines, columnists and radio COM
Ientators. All were "dupes of Mos
ow." From the Senate floor, where

charge of the campaign of John Mar

kind of campaign that wins for
Mccarthy, which is plenty of money,
floods of publicity and daily doses
of vicious smear.
In these tactics he has the sup

the America First line that seems
headed for a complete dictatorship

Pat McCarran of Nevada, Mccarthy

States and apparently that is not an
impossible dream. 1t would be a
calamity beyond all description.

Mr.. McKendrick was dismissed
by the then DemOcratically con-

later was named one of the assis-
tant engineers with the Whining
ton Water Department.
At one time, Mr.. McKendrick

Mr.. Sharp, as chairman Of the
Highway Commission, said he
would like to make it perfectly
clear that these changes among the
top rank of the Highway Depart
ment were in no way personal re-
fections upon the ability of the
men who have been replaced by
Republicans.
"As far as Colonel McWilliams
and Mr.. Haber are concerned Mr..
Sharp said, Il am sure that they
will be able to work together har-
moniOusly for the good of the High
way Department and for the bene-
fit of the state of Delaware.
"These changes are in keeping
with a plan or orderly transition.
eve certainly hope that the
transition will be smooth one and
is not to be considered in any way
as a discredit to the good record,
for example of Mr.. Haber as an en-
gineer.
However, at the same time we
do value the long experience OF
Colonel McWilliams as a member
of the Highway Department Of
( which he was once chief engineer.
Colonel McWilliams enjoys the
complete confidence of the entire
department"
In regards to the change in the
counsel for the Delaware River
Bridge, Mr.. Sharp said that while
the department appreciated the
services of Colonel Berl since last
July, it felt that also as part of
the transition of control from a
Democratic to Republican admins
tration, it was best to select Mr..
) Richards as the counsel in view of
. Mr.. Richards experience with the
bridge division from it's very in
! ceptiOn.
. It was Mr.. Richards who Origi-
nally worked with Frank V. du-
POnt, when the latter was chair
man of the Highway Department
in handling the complicated legal
background for the construction ol
the $44,O00,0OO span across the
( Delaware.
'Mr. Richards is very familiar
with all the legal aspects of the
bridge" Mr.. Sharp said, land hi.
return to the department as Oul
s counsel for the bridge will be o.
considerable benefit to the state.
Mr.. Sharp also said these re
OrganizatiOnal moves were no
mere political whims nor change
merely for the sake of change-bu
were based on the idea of gettinl
the best possible men for the job
involved.
Soon after the meeting opened il
Dover, a resolution was presentet
by Frank Grier of Milford (Repub
lican) to the effect that COlOne
McWilliams be named chief engi
neer and Mr.. Haber become con
sultant to the department.
This was seconded by William P
Richardson of Dover (Republican)
There followed a discussion
some of which centered upon MI
Haber's pension status.
When the vote was first taken
the four Republicans-Mr. Sharp
Mr.. Grier, DR.. J. Draper Brown o
Greenville, and Mr.. Richardson
voted in favor; so. did J. Gordon
Smith of Dover who is a Demo
crat. Benjamin F. Shaw of viii
mintOn (Democrat) voted no.
Then, Mr.. Shaw made a mOtiOl
that the appointment of ColOne
