TAX RATE At
OLD FIGURES
Appropriation Ordinance
Shows $II3,756 Increase
to. City Departments
teachers AND POLICE
Granted increases

With one more month OF the fiscal
year to run, the Republican City
Council has surplus at present and
expects to end the year with a sur
plus. and win keep the city tax rate
unchanged for another year This IS
in striking contrast with the good old
Democratic days Of deficits confront
ing Council at the end OF each fiscal
year.
Although increasing next years ap-
propriations by $113.756.44. the appro-
priation ordinance. as passed last
night by City Council does not call
for any change in the tax rate. which
remains at $l.35 for each 500 Of as
sessment. The ordinance went through
without a hitch after Council had re-
cessed for fifteen minutes TO make
some minor changes in the draft as
completed the night before in com
mittee OF the whole. These minor
changes made from the completed
draft OF the committe OF the whole
included a $1,000 increase in the pen
sion fund OF the police. S2,500 increase
for the board OF police commission
ers; a slight increase for the fire de-
partment and a decrease in the har-
Dor Improvements item.
Last nights action by Council is
pointed out as an example OF how
Mayor Prices administration has
shown its business capacity in hand
ling the affairs OF Wilmington taxpay-
ers by increasing appropriations
where increases are justified and by
keeping the tax rate at the 1916
figure.
Il is a significant fact that 100000
additional is granted to the Police
Department; Sl0140 additional e

Is There A Wilmington Taxpayer?
e DIT RIAL)

VXTILMINGTONIANS know that the Hon. James F.

They also know that they do not need the services
Of Edward G. Bradford, Jr- of ChrIstana hundred; j.

three nOnresIdents Of Wilmington to tell them whether
the Mayor should or should not be reelected.

fessedIy Of Socialists and active Democrats, which is
being used in desperate effort 10 defeat MAJOR Price
and to elect John W. Lawson, the Democratic nominee.
They seek revenge upon Mayor Price because he was
friendly to Senator Henry A. duPont last FAN and also
because he stood so high in public confidence and
spect that he defeated their schemes in the recent Re.
publican primaries,
In the present crisis in the political and govern
mental affairs of Wilmington the question presented to
each city voter by the activity Of Bradford, Alice and
Davis is this;
~shOuId the political and the governmental affairs
Of Wilmington be controlled and administered by ct
gems Of Wilmington or by citizens Of Chrstlana hun
dred, Dover and MilfOrdl'
Another question that presents itself to the mind Of
each Wilmington voter is;
"Shall public official like James F. Price, who as
Mayor has given to the voters and the taxpayers an
administration so honest that Bradford Alice and
Davis cannot ushabIy assal it. be sacrificed to crafty
the hateust Of those three nonresdents and to en-
able them 10 control the government Of city of no.

BY CARL ID. GROAT.

WASHINGTON. June Part Of
Congress is aiding the anti-registra-
tion plots.
While the Department OF Justice
is hewing at the roots Of a traitorous
nationwide conspiracy some mem
bers OF Congress are franking out
ahti-conscripton speeches including
that OF Speaker Champ Clark. Many
supposedly are using their franking
privileges to explain their votes on
the selective service bill but the ef-
feet Of their act-be Il intended 10
block registration or not-is mani
festly 10 encourage the plotters
wherever the literature reaches.
The anti-registration conspiracy is
taking on broader aspects than even
the most pessimisuc had feared. Ar
rests throughout the land show that
the insidious preachments OF the
plotters are spreading 10 every cor
ner Of the nation. SO extensive is
the propaganda that fear Of repetition
OF the Civil War anti-draft is express
ed secretly here.
As arrests do not appear wholly e
curb the propaganda, officials are at 8
loss TO know Just what TO DO TO halt The
trouble before registration today.
Official suggestions are that as mos
of the cases show treason unmis akably
IL might be well TO make an example
