MIDDLETOWN, DEL., JAN. 18, 1907.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Delaware's lawmakers met on
Tuesday of last week,'and orga
nized by electing the presiding
officers of each branch and the
clerical officers. This much was
accomplished only after a pro
tracted session of the caucus of
the Republican members of the
House, lasting until well along
towards daylight of Tuesday
Mr. Hodgson, the
morning.
Representative from Appoquini
mink Hundred was the success
ful candidate for Speaker, de
feating Mr. Corbit of this Hun
dred. In order to accomplish
this the members from Kent and
Sussex Counties were forced to
directly antagonize the position
which they have always stood
for, and which it is claimed is to
be urged in the Senatorial fight
yet to be. For years, the dele
gates from these counties in
State Conventions, the Repre
sentatives in Assembly, have
contended that where a particu
lar nomination or election was ac
corded to one county, the repre
sentatives from that county
should name the man. In other
words, if New Castle County is
to furnish the Speaker, New
Castle should choose him, and on
New Castle be the burden of
the blame for any dereliction.
Yet, after Mr. Corbit bad been
chosen as the caucus nominee of
New Castle County Republicans,
the members from the two lower -
counties overrode this choice.
We have no feeling in this matter
as Mr. Hodson will, we believe
make a very acceptable Speaker.
He has had the advantage of a
previous service in the Assembly
as a training for the post, which
Mr. Corbit lacked. For Presi
dent pro tern, of the Senate Mr.
Sparks of this County was
chosen. This is a fitting honor
to one in every way qualified
for the position.
The Evening Journal is disposed
to think that in the organization
because New Castle County got
both presiding officers, the two
lower counties were handed a
"lemon." We fail to see it that
way. The only offices carrying
pay, and the only rewards for
party service were given to men
from Kent and Sussex. If the
Journal could hear from the
woiking Republicans, as we
have, it would be disabused of
any such notion. We are not a
believer in the theory that 10 the
victors belong tbe spoils, but we
do concur in tbe idea that where
two men are candidates for the
same office and their capabilities
are equal, the one who has by ser
vice for his party, earned a right
to be considered, should have
thalj.onsideration above theother
who has not given any, or less
service. To this opinion many
other Republicans hold and they
do not think highly of the distri
bution of the plums.

STEEL COMPANY'S EARNINGS
"We are informed that the re
port of the United States Steel
Company, which will be publish
ed within the next few days, will
show a net earning of the com
pany for the past year of $167,
000,000. This enormous amount
can be better comprehended
when wc say that it exceeds the
entire gross receipts of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
for both freight and passenger
traffic, over their entire system
of both owned and leased lines.
The total earnings of the com
pany for the last seven or eight
years has been $ 675 , 000 , 000 ,
averaging nearly $ 100 , 000,000 a
year. There can be no doubt
that the United States Steel
in
for
Company is probably the most
elaborate, its operations tbe most
extensive, and its earnings tbe
most considerable of any corpora
tion in tbe world. Dismissing j
the question as to whether its ç eK
enormous profits be due to the j
manner in which it maintains j|,
high prices, or to au admirable]
and efficient system of economical
management, it is a noteworthy d ®

THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
Governor Lea, in his annual
message to the General Assem
bly, discusses a large number cf
topics and made several impor
tant recommendations. Prob
ably the most important of these
was the expression that a nqÉ;
ballot law was needed for ihre
state. The plan whictrthe Gov
ernor favors is the one that The
Transcript has for years u rged ;
a simple ballot, on official paper
of standard size to be obtained
from some official of the county
or state, the printing and distri
bution of the tickets to be in the
hands of the several political or
ganizations and the ballots to be
accessible to the voters before
and at the election. By this
means, as we have many times
pointed out, the voter can secure
all the help needed to fix a ticket
to suit his views, there will be
comparatively^ few rejected bal
lots, and the election will be an
expression of the will of a major
ity of the voters. There would
be fewer complaints of the mi
nority being turned into a major
ity, due to the fact that enough
of the majority's tickets were
thrown outas improperly marked
to so pervert the wishes of the
people.
He also urges renewed good
roads legislation to such an
amount as the fiances of the
State will justify. In this con
nection an increased license fee
to go into the good roads fund.
The usual appropriation for the
State Militia is requested. The
Governor bas bad during the
past two summers an excellent
opportunity to judge of the value
of the military and the use of the
funds appropriated for its main
tenance. He bas, himself, gone
into camp with "the boys," lived
their lives and seen how they
conduct themselves while in the
active service of the State.
One of the particular recom
mendations that should have the
careful consideration of the leg
islators is that in reference to the
tax laws. He believes that the
body having the fixing the Val
vation of property for taxation
should not be the one responsible
for the expenditure of funds, and
suggests a State Board of Re
vision of Assessment. His idea
seems to be, as we gather it, that
Ahe General Assembly should ap
point a committee to this matter
under consideration, work it
through the summer months,
and have the General Assembly
re convene late in the fall and
pass a general assessment law,
based upon modern conditions.
Every one who has studied the
question is satisfied that
present laws are far behind the
times.

PAY FOR 13 DAYS
Court Decides Members el Special Ses
sion are Entitled to That Muck
According to the decision of tbe judges
in Superior Court, members of tbe spe
cial session of the Legislature, who elected
Colonel Henry A. duPout United States
Senator, »ill receive pay for eacli day
from tiie assembling until adjournment,
thirteen in all.
All of Wednesday morning aigument
was heard on the case stated, which had
been transferred from Kent county to
this county, i n 1 which was brought by
Thomas McGiniiin, a member of the
Legislature from the Fourth district of
Kent countv, to compel State Treasurer !
Thomas N. Rawlins to pay him for tl.e
thirteen days, fie was represented by J
James M. Satterfield of Kent county and
George N. Davis of Wilmington, while At
tiirney-General Robert II. Richards rep
resented tiie state treasurer.
It was explained to the court that the
Legislator convened on May 31st, after
w hielt it adjourned until June 11ll). It
was for pay for tiie intervening days that
the mandamus proceedings were brought.
The Legislature, befote adjourning, voted
to thmifelvfs thirteen days' pay, or $05
each, bat State Treasurer Rawlins refused
to issue warrants except for five days'
pay,after he had consulted with theattor
nev-general. In placing his case before
the court. Mr.Sattei field read the discus
sion in tiie Constitutional Convention on
the question of pay,and lie contended tiie
convention then decided that tiie pay of
a legislator «as to be for sixty consecutive
days, and they limited a regular session
to that number of days and a special ses
sion to thirty days, excluding Sundays,
but that tiie matter of pay for Sundays
mid holidays was left to the Legislature.
Mr. Satterfield also pointed out that
tiie Constitutional convention was in
session for a period extending over 180
days and was so paid although liiere
were many days upon which it did not
meet.
Judge Spruance, who was a member of
the convention, explained there was a
long postponement during the session but
it was for the purpose of preparing data
and tiie time was not wasted.
j
Mr. Richards contended the legislators
»ere entitled to only five dais' pay and
quoted authorities on the subject.
Mr. Davis, counsel for the plaintiff was
imt permitted to present his prayers as
tiie court stated it had reached a decision
and that it would issue a writ of manda
on tiie state treasurer. Attorney
mu]
General Richards waived trhe issue of tiie
writ stating hie client would accept tiie
decision of tiie court.
It is expected that within a few days
the members of tiie Legislature will re
ceive warrants for the amount due them.
