and that the States credit had been restored.
1t is true that the State found itself in an unen-

cesstated the building of new schools and highways
the paying of higher salaries to teachers and others
on the public payrols, expenses had risen and new
taxation measures were needed When it was learn

PASSED NEEDED LEGISLATION

This committee suggested an increase in the in
tax; the enactment of corporation tax increas
ing the pari-mutuel take, and suggested that the
income taxes be made retroactive 1t also approved
the cancellation of appropriations which it felt
might not be justified under the circumstances The
Democrats refused to consider the enactment of
Sales Tax increasing the tax on gasoline, feeling
that such taxes unfair to the low-income group
and are infationary.
With these measures approved, the Democrats
felt that the financial condition of the state had been
improved and that further taxation called for.
After due consideration they felt that the retroactive
features of the income tax bill should be repealed
They passed an act to this effect, which was vetoed
by Governor Boggs.

There was. The Republican Party and its spokes-
wanted and still want Sales Tax-an increase

This became obvious when the Chamber of Com

endorsed the Sales Tax and urged its enactment It
was obvious also when Republican candidates and the
daily papers kept demanding that the Democrats re-

GOVERNORS FIGURES WERE
WRONG

On May 3d. Governor Boggs advised the Legis-
lature that the state faced deficit of $9286,859 at
the years end Six weeks later the auditor reported
that instead of deficit there credit balance of
$208000. The Governor advised that the deficit for
1859 would be $lO223,638, but the Non-Partisan
Committee for Good Government admits ultra-con-
servatvely that the State will have credit balance
of $67l,O53
Why doesn't Governor Boggs report the facts?
Why if the states financial condition is desperate,
doesn't he tell us how much the state is receiving
every month from such sources as the income tax,
the corporation tax, parmutuel receipts automobile
licenses, fines, and receipts from other sources.
How much of our income tax is outstanding-un-
paid for years, the tax commissioner reported only
a few weeks ago. How much is being paid in install
ments? How much is due to be paid the rest of
the year?
His refusal to publish these figures, although
urged to do so numerous occasions, leads many to
believe that the Republicans have something to hide
Do they fear that the predictions of huge deficits
the threats of impending destruction of the States
credit standing were made without foundation, and
that the facts will show that the statements
made solely to discredit the Democratic Party? Do
they fear to admit that the Democrats were right
when they repealed the retroactive tax?

The Financial Condtio
What are the Facts
A Message to the People Of Delaware:

override the Governors veto did not make the at
tempt So the of the retroactive feature of the
new tax bill must rest upon the Republicans
AS result, we feel that the people have been
taxed more than necessary. The Governors veto
placed too heavy burden upon them.
ENDED YEAR WITH CREDIT BALANCE
Reports show that the state ended it's fiscal year
with credit balance rather than the huge deficit pre-
dcted. The Governor has reported that revenues
coming in since March Is have enabled him to pay
off all the funds borrowed from the banks earlier in
the year. The State Auditor has reported greater
cepts than in any year in history, although the
papers still crying wolf" and predicting short
ages
LEAGUE PREDICTS CREDIT BALANCE
The Non-Partisan League in its letter showed the
income received during the past years and estimated
receipts for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1853
1t showed that during the year 1858 the lnheri-
tax produced only $1020000, the lowest in ten
years.
It estimates that this tax will produce only ST.
100000 in 1885, the average the past ten years
has been $2,955OOO.
1t estimates that the motor fuel tax will bring in
about 49, 100000 Records month by month over this
year indicate that the tax will bring in around $l0,
100000
1t estimates that total receipts for the year will
be around $66,8l9335, and predicts credit balance
of $671 ,O53 The fact is that every index shows
ceipts breaking all records and indicate credit bal
ance of several million dollars.

DEMOCRATS NEEDED IN THE
LEGISLATURE

1t seems obvious, under the circumstances, that
the electorate of this state unless they want sales
tax and increase in the gasoline tax must vote to
return majority of Democrats to the State Legisa
