p Entering a protest TO the State and
rural New Castle County taking the
wealth out Of the city without giving
anything in return. Councilman James
w. Robertson, chairman OF City Coun-
CHS finance committee. addressed
Council last night on the necessity OF
Wilmington being a separate county.
This could De made possible. he urged,
by the business interests OF Whining
ton cooperating with the citizens TO
have the Legislature create a separate
county out OF the city.
Mr.. Robertson, In the course Of his
remarks said

OF S653.2i3.9l paid from this city into

or a grand total OF SIOO,5i2 % Strik- |
ing on S2OO.ji222 for governmental 1
charges, this leaves $4,000 paid by
this city.
Just think what we could have with |

at a cost OF 100000, three miles 0f I

at a cost OF $4,000; and deduciing I
$4,000 from the balance for a munic- |

much needed Improvements here

DEBS VERDICT VALID
SUPREME COURT OF U. S. UP
HOLDS TEN-YEAR SENTENCE.
Opinion Is Unanimous That Socialist
Leader Violated Espionage Act in
Speech in Ohio

Washington, March 1.-THE SUI
preme court sustained the conviction
Of Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader
found guilty of violating the espionage
act through statements made in
speech at Canton, o., last June, and
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment
In deciding the case, the court in eff
feet upheld the constitutionallty Of
the so-called enlistment section of the
espionage act of 1917.
The opinion of the court was unanl-
nous.
Conviction under the espionage act
of Jacob Frohwerk Of Kansas City be-
cause Of articles appearing in the Mis-
souri, Stats Zeitung, of which he was
editor, criticizing Americas participa-
ton in the war, also was upheld by
the Supreme court in deciding APP
peals brought from federal court judg-
ments sentencing him to ten years inn
priSonment.
AS in the case of the espionage
cases decided last Monday, the SUI
rreme court in its opinion again made
no specific ruling upon the constitu-
tionality of the espionage act, The
court based its opinion largely upon
that part of the indictment charging
obstruction Of recruiting service, which
was unanimously affirmed.

ROPER TO PUNISH FOR FAILURE
TO FILE RETURNS.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Calls on Honest Taxpayers to Aid
in Roundup.

Washington, March 11.--Warning
was issued by Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper that persons who fail
to file income tax returns with revenue
collectors before next Saturday night
will be subject to prosecution.
He called on honest taxpayers to aid
in the roundup of slackers by reporting
any information they might have
which would assist in detection.
Those who merely neglect to file
returns are subject on prosecution to
a fine of not more than $1,000, and
those who "willfully refuse" are sub
iect to a fine of not more than $4,000,
or Imprisonment for one year, or both.
Ignorance of the law" said the com
missioner, Cannot consistently he
offered as an excuse by the man who
coils to file his income tax on time.
Wide publicity has been given the pro
visions of the new revenue bill. The
vast majority, therefore, of the Amer

government.

subject to the tax will pay their just
obligations this year, as last, cheerfully
