The Inquiring Reporter ETery Day He Aki rive Persons, Picked at Random, a Question on Some Interesting Subject. The Do you think it would be possible for the, cities of America to get together and establish uniform traffic regulations, and do you think that such a scheme would ie practical? The Anw -rs.

Raul Gillis, 307 West Eighteenth street: "I think that such a schem w-ould be a great boon to tne American tourists. An automobile dri.vr in a strange city and unused to the traffic regulations, causes trouble for himself and the traffic officers. The various automobile associations and the police dei artments should be able to work out a uniform Set of regulations." Clara Prcttyman. 020 Orange street. "There is no reason hy such a uniform set of regulations could not be arranged.

The railroads have succeeded in making regulations to control their traffic with a minimum of accidents, and co-operation between the various cities co.ild achieve th-; same result for auto trafHc." Selma Frutchsy. Allentown. "Uniform traffic regulations would be welcomed by every motorist who drives from one city to another. 1 kn from personal that ignorance of traffic laws, many of which are peculiar to certain cities, causes mmy traffic j.nd considcitle inconvenience." Robert Wilson. Ashley: "I believe the tune will come when all cities will join in having a set oi traffic regulations.

Ignorance c-f the law, according to the courts, is no excuse, but how is a tourist to know the details of a score or more different traffic systems?" Dcaipney. Baltimore, Md. "Just as every city has some good traffic laws, so does every city have some traffic laws that are not so goou. I would suggest that a national conference be called, at which time the trood traffic laws could be gathered in-ton a permanent set cf regulations, and the poor laws eliminated."

r. Helm, Jr. the tax law was amended, more than seven years ago. to apply to earnings as low as $1,000. It has been a continuing inconsistency, now in ltd eighth year.

It reached Its worst stage in 1S22 when the higher salaried worker was taxed at somewhat less than half the rate of the lower salaried one; and it approached its nearest equality of taxing "rates In 1920 when (on 1919 Income) the discrepancy was $1,13 per $1.000 'of earnings, or about 13 per cent. Plscrepancy Due to Exemption. The discrepancy due largely to the difference in personal exemptions allowed to single men and women and those who were heads of families. In effect, it is a bachelor tax imposed by the Federal government on both sexes. It stops wkh the worker, but it effects -adversely 30 per cent of all persona paying individual income taxes to the Federal government.

Out of a total of 7. 695.321 individual paying income taxes last year, or nearly 65 per cent, earned a year cr less. This 65 per cent of the taxpayers paid lens than 5 per cent of the individual income taxes that flowed into the treasury, however, the total for the entire 5.155,090 amounting to $32,167,439. A single group of 74 men paid Uncle Sam more income tax than the entire group of 5.155.090. The Utile group was -composed of millionaires, each of whom enjoyed an Income cf more than $1,000,000 during the year.

This group paid an average of apiece. AVhile the government was demanding from $2.60 to out of each $1,000 earned by the workers receiving $3,000 or less annually, it demanded $235.30 out of each $1,000 of income enjoyed by the millionaires mentioned. Here is the levy imposed by the government iast year on the various classes of its income taxpayers: Annua! Average Income Tax 7.P1 30 2643 129.20 561.05 2.595.60 S.753 2S, 23.S21.SS 47.735.74 96.S45.72 1S0.S39 95. More than $1,000,000 4S3.62S.04 542 Paid Taxes on $500,000. A total of 542 men and women paid taxes last year on incomes of $300,000 or more.

That group was little more than cne-haif of one per cent of the total number of taxpayers. It paid, however, about $93,000,000 in taxes, or more than 13 per cent cf the amount collected. Again, there were 56.S62 men and women paying income taxes last year on incomes (during 1923) of $25,000 or more. That group constituted than three-fourths of one per cent of the total number of taxpayers. They paid more than 60 per cent of the ind.vidual income tax.

or upwards of $424,000,000. These taxpayers, by the thousands, feel that the time has come to lighten their load. Any system under which less than one per cent of the taxpayers m3de to carry 60 per cent of the load is neither fair nor sportsmanlike, many of these taxpayers feel. They will make their presence known at the banquet table when the income tax is to be cut and a rebate served out to the various classes. They are calling for a larger slice this than ever befve and are prepar to leave nothing undone to get it.

income tax law, schedules that have worked unevenly against millions of taxpayers, especially a group of nearly 2,500,004 men and women earning- from $1,000 to f2.000 a year, will call for correction when Congress meets to cut taxes. The present law was framed with the intention of taxing lightest those least able to pay. It was designated with the idea that the man earnins from $1,000 to $:,000 a year would pay not only a smaZer tax but at a lower rate a taxation, than the man earning from $2,000 to $3,000 and that that man would pay at a lower rate than the man earning still more. That principle guided the- lawmakers up the ladder of ascending earning to the millionaire ibut the lawmakers eem to have slipped cn the second rung. Treasury returns, recently made public, show theit the or woman earning from $1,000 to $2,000 a year is taxed, vn the average, at a rate almost double the rate Imposed on the next class of taxpayers, or those earning from $2,000 to $3,000 a year.

Here are the bald figure as disclosed in the fcureaa of internal revenue's official report of income tax collec tions in 1324 on 1923 income: The number of men and women nd women $2 qN in r.eT earning frcm SI.C00 to was 2,373.754. The. come was They paid, in taxes. On the average, the government collected fro mthis group $4.50 out of every $1,000 which they earned during the year. Ineqnalltie rotated Out.

The number of men and women earning from $2,000 to $3,000 1923 was 2.412. S04, or nearly 40.000 more than the preceding group. Their net tr.come was or about 70 per cent higher than the net Income the group earning from $1,000 to J2.000 a year. Tet the higher-salaried group raid in taxes only $15,210,934. or aim set iess than the lower-salaried group.

And while the government took tot! amounting to $4. SO per of earning from the man or woman "earning Y-om $1,000 to $2,000. it took only $2.60 cut of every $1,000 earned during the year by men and women receiving rom $2,000 to In effect, the government said out cf one side of lis mouth: "Those who earn least shall pay at the lowest rate;" and out of the other side of lis mouth it said to the demand I4.S0 out of every $1,000 you made during the year, but If you had made $3,000 instead of I would demand only $2.60 out of each $1 000." Thus the man was mulcted, at that average rate, now officially certified in the treasury's own figures. $9.63 on his income, while the man paid, on the average, but Earning 50 per cent more, the higher salaried worker paid 3 5 per cent Ies. Not only was this the case in but it has been the case ever since TO ATTEND Twenty-five From filming Conference Left This Citv Todav.

Twenty-five members from the Wilmington conference left this rooming for Carlisle. to attend the two weeks Summer School of religious education held at Dickinson College under the auspices of the Department of Church Schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Dickinson Summer School ie cne of several such two weeks schools of religious education held in the Vnlted States by the various denominations and the International Council of Reiigious Education. This school cares for the territory covered by Delaware. Maryland and Pennsylvania, for standard training work, and for normal work includes also York and New Jersey.

It is expected that the following will attend the school taking the norma courses, preparatory to teaching in the standard training schools of the Wilmington conference this coming fall end winter: Rev. L. E. Wimbrow, Grace Church. Wilmington; Mrs.

W. E. Gunby, Dover; Rev. E. M.

Vaughn MAN CARLISLE SCHOO beauty contest. Perhaps the most striking costume was that worn by Miss Irma Carter, representing "Miss Rehoboth." Her bathirg suit was of purple silk, with flower motif and designed In kimono style. "Miss Wilmington" wore a white bathing suit with white long hose, and her brown curls hung gracefully over ber shoulders. She and all the other girls bad bouquets and carried Japaneso prasols. "Miss Delmar," Wllma Nelson, received a particularly strong ovation.

Little Miss Rebecca Beach, aged five, from Rehoboth. flower girl for the occasion, made a decided lilt, when Mr. Taylor, bowing low, presented her with a miniature parasol. Natives who have been watching the crowds at Rehoboth for years with an analytical eye, stated that the estimate was 20,000 persons. The crowds started to enter the town from Washington.

D. C. Marvmnd, all parts of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Virginia, southern and middle western state early Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning an observer ccunted 60 cars to the mile at the rat of 25 miles per hour. All Hotels Filled.

All the Rehoboth Beach hotels were full and reservations bad been made weeks in advance. Saturday night visitors, unable to find accommodations, slept In their cars or on porches and in pup-tents on the beach. One visitor who slopped at the Henlopen. upon entering his automobile yesterday morning found a note therein, signed H. C.

Boyce. The note read: "Thanks for the use of your car all night, old man; it sure made me a fine bed." Activities at the Hotel Henlopen were of a particularly I'ourth of July aspect. Fireworks displays and dancing featured the evening program. George Madden and his "Delawareans" furnished the music for the dance, which was a record-breaker for attendance. A feature of the program was the introduction of a new song-hit.

"Henlopen Blues," written especially for the occasion by L. and J. Clark Samuel of Wilmington. The song received enthusiastic applause and will probably become the 'typical topical tune" of the summer at Rehoboth. The beach and boardwalk on Saturday and Sunday gave every appearance of a miniature Atlantic City.

Nothing like the crowds had ever beer itnessed at the historic shore resort. Wben the next holiday feature is produced at the beach, and it is anticipated for the near future, the at tendance records, it is expected, will go even higher. Rehoboth. according to a well-known summer visitor, has "struck her stride at last." BANKRUPTCY LAW CHANGES. Seren Rsles Recently Made by the United States Supreme Court.

IN THE PLAYGROUNDS Reinforcing Dancers and Singers There; Four Have Been Started. Organising ukulele eb.bs among the playgrounds of th city, which was begun by Miss Sidney E. Bock, associate director of the Community Service, a few weeks ago will become more active this week.

Already several groups have been organized. Mrs. Myrtle Miller' has been obtained by the Community Service to instruct all those who wish to learn to play a ukulele, and she will be busy day and evening during; the summer instructing various groups. It is the hope of the Community Service to have several hundred ukulele players trained enough to be able to play In massed groups during tne summer and early fall and as all cf the players will be Instructed In certain tunes, they will all be able to play these tunes together with practice. Supplementing the ukulele playing Miss Bock hopes to develop vocalists on each playground and add to these those who are giffed dancers, so that while the ukulel players play a tune, others will sing the words accompanying it while the third group will dance to the rhythm of the melody.

In this way every one about a playground may take part. Coyne, Concord Heights and Stapler have already started the ukulele clubs, and the Lend-a-Hand Club at Spruce Is planning to begin this week. In some cities the tikulele clubs number hundreds of players. In this city Miss Jennie B. Weaver, who is directing the work of the playgrounds during July and August, is co-operating with the Community Service in this activity.

Not only the school playground but the vacant lot opposite will be utilized if the guests become numerous. Mrs.

Grace Reed will have charge of the women's activities and it is the aim of the Community Service to develop dramatics and tolk dancing among the important details of the work there. In case of rain the play courts In the school building will be used, so that either rain or shine the play activities will go forward. 52 RIVER EXCURSIONS SCHEDULED THIS WEEK With 62 day and evening outings booked for this week, Wilson Line boats will experience one of the busiest periods of the summer season.
