hens, and the earliest and best-ma-

EMMA GOLDMAN MUST
SERVE PRISON TERN
Conviction Of Berkman in Draft Con-
spiracy Also Upheld by Su-
preme Court

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Su-
prerne Court of the United states con-
flrmed the convictions of Emma Gold
man and Alexander Berkman. the
anarchist leaders who were found guilty
IN the Federal courts OF New York on
accusations of conspiracy to retard OPP
erations OF the selective service act
Chief Justice White read the opinion
of the court and also announced con-
firnation OF the conviction OF LOUIS
Kramer and Morris Becker. who were
accused of conspiracy to aid and prevent
men of draft age from registering.
Emma Goldman and Berkman, when
convicted in New York. were sentenced
to serve two years in prison and pay
fine of $4,000 each. Kramer was sem
fenced to two years in prison and TO
pay fine of $4,000, while Becker re-
ceived a sentence of twenty months I'm
prisonment. The Supreme Court also
sustained decrees of the Federal courts
of Ohio. sentencing Charles II. Ruthen-
berk Alfred Wagenknecht and Charles
Baker to one year each in prison on
charges of violating the draft act. These
decisions clear the calendar of the SUI
preme Court of cases growing out OF
the operation of the selective service act.
Miss Goldman and Berkman based
their appeals chiefly on the ground that
the selective service act was unconsti-
tutionaI The Supreme Court disposed
of that contention last Monday, when
Chief Justice White read an opinion dis
missing an appeal in another case.

COST OR MARKET VALUE
Point to Be Decided in Cases Before
Supreme Bench On
March
By a star corrcspopdu,

WASiil lNNflNlN. Jan, 10
The Internal Revenue Bureau. upon
advice/of the Attorney General has de-
cided TO await decision Of the supreme
Court of the United States, before issu-
ing ruling as to whether dealers in
merchandise hnd securities shah make
their income ana excess profits tax re-
turns on Inventories based on their
original cost or present market value.
In II regulation issued on December
49, the commissioner of Internal revenue
ruled that Inventories OF supplies, raw
materials. work IN process Of produC-
tion and unsold merchandise must be
made either az cost or the market price
whichever is lower, and that n dealer In
securities having on his books regularly
invontoricd msold securities could make
his return on the basis on which his
accounts are kept.
The question then arose as 80 whether
returns upon the basis of Inventories
taken at market values are permissible
under the law.
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
Roper took the matter up with the legal
division OF the bureau and found ii TOO
tough a nut ia crack.
II was submitted to the Attorney Gem
eral aud he found the question equally
puzzling. The Department Of Justice
found. however. that the principle at
issue is involved in several cases now
pending in the Supreme Court Of the
United states and set for hearing
March I, and advised that, owing to tho
uoaruesS Of the courts decision. the
question be left TO the highest court to
decide.
The internal revenue bureau today
q
the ruling. and directed that In returns
filed before March I dealers In NOR
chundse aud securities must specify
upon what basis they make their returns.
If the Supreme Court should rule that
returns cannot be made based upon
market values. dealers who make their
return before March on that basis will
then be required 10 make revised ic-
turns based upon inventories made at
cost
There was also some question in re-
gard to what constitutes a dealer in
securities Many inquiries were made as
to whether person who makes an oc-
casional deal without being regularly
engaged in that business, such as a
banker. or other individuals not making
security dealing their principal business,
was "a dealer" i'm the eyes Of the law.
In regard to this the statement issued
by Commissioner Roper defines "a dealer
as being "a merchant Of securities
whether an individual, partnership or
corporations with an established place Of
business. whose principal business is the
purchase Of securities ana their resale
to customers"
Tax payers who buy and sell IN in
vestmeut or speculation, and officers Of

TRENTON. Jan. IS.
Unusual conditions and demands i'm

state Comptroller Bugbee in his annual
report submitted to the Legislature last

Mr.. Bugbee called attention to the fact
that unusual demands are being made

cult year for officials charged with the
management of institutions and depart

fact that in only one case was the APP

The labor problem and the increased

the disintegratton Of departmental and

and drafts have created situations in
management such as never occurred
heretofore. and have increased the bur-

to such an extent that the operation and

remarkable feature of the years work in

While the increased cost of ma

In mind the fact that the states income
is equally sensitive to war conditions
and may be reduced or even seriously
endangered by their continuance. II is
even now apparent that there wSl he

THE increasing burden placed upon
