INCOME TAX REFUND.
After protraoted discussion tho House
fixed o'clock this afternoon for acting
on the House substitute for the House bill
amending the Income Tax law. The
provisions of the substitute are as follows
ut shall be the duty of the State trea-
surer on or before the twentieth day OF
each calendar month to pay over to the
treasurer of the city of Wilmington one
half of all taxes collected by him under
the provisions Of the Income Tax law
during the previous calendar month from
residents OF the city OF Wilmington and
to likewise pay over TO the treasurer OF
New Castle county one-half of all taxes
collected under the provisions of the act
during the previous month from residents
of New Castle county residing outside
Wilmington and to the treasurers OF Kent
and Sussex counties one-half OF all taxes
collected under the provisions OF the
act during the previous month from per-
sons residing in their respective counties.
Discussion followed the final reading
of the bill.
Representative McNabb said the In
come Tax law was enacted as war meas
ure and there is no necessity tor Its exist
ence now. He declared the State does
not need the money derived from the tax,
but Wilmington does.
Representative Lyons cited Wilmington's
increase of real estate assessment and
high tax rate and stated the proposed
refund Of income tax would relisve the
taxpayers burdens.
Representative Lloyd remarked that
he did not blame Wilmington for asking
for the refund, but he would censure rural
New Castle county, Kent and Sussex If
they granted the request.
Representative Hastings said the sum
received by Sussex county would be small.
Representative McNabb retorted that
Sussex had paid little. He stated Viii
mington merely asked for the return of a
proportionate share, and he challenged
anyone to disprove the fairness of the
proposition.
Representative H. S. Smith thought
the proposal was equivalent to an indirect
tax and asked why not reduce the income
tax.
Representative Lloyd declared granting
Wilmington's request would deplete the
State treasury.
Representatives Mulvena and McNabb
thought other projects would be heavier
drains, and the former mentioned appro-
priations for agricultural purposes and the
latter diversion of $4,000 of general
funds from the State treasury for the
reduction of school taxes.
Representative Parker said nine-tenths
of the State appropriations go to institu-
tions In or near Wilmington.
Representative McNabb replied that
the lower part of the State fills the in
stitutions and Wilmington supports the
inmates.
Representative Hastings remarked that

Pre-War Practice To
Examine Immigrants
Resumed Ellis Island

New York, Feb. 17.-Uncle Sam will
soon be conducting great classes in
reading the Psalms almost at the foot
Of the Statue Of Liberty. The pre-
war practice of examining all steer
age immigrants at Ellis Island, in
stead Of on shipboard, has been restor
ed.
Alfred Hampton, Assistant Commits
sioner-G General Of immigration, has
been comforting with immigration Of
ficials in regard to restoring the pre-
war practice Of examining all immi-
grants who come by steerage at Ellis
Island instead of on shipboard. as at
present. ~
If the primary tests are made at the
island more than 1000 men and wom-
en- will read from the Psalms there
daily, and Miss Liberty, who stands a
stones throw from the island slip,
could hear if she were incarnate.
Reading from the Psalms is the lit
eracy test for admission to this coun-
try, which went into effect in May 1917
and is now receiving it's first real trial
because immigration during the war
was small. The law provides that an
immigrant with a few exceptions must
be able to read from 80 to 40 words
in any language he or she desires. The
department of labor devised the Ps-
aim test as the fairest for all.
immigration inspectors are equip
ped with cards in all languages with
serves from the Psalms printed on
them. All types of script are repres-
ented, German, Hebrew, JapanAe,
Russian and so IN, except Chinese, for
that nationality is not permitted to
immigrate. Lest~a any alien learn par
rot-like the verse of the Psalm that
a friend in this country had to read,
the inspectors have at least 40 differ
ent verses in each language, n verse
to a card.
Primary examination at the island
will require many more employees. I'm
migration authorities have estimated
that it will take $1,000, 900 more an
nually to increase the force to a pro-
per size as we'll as to raise salaries
of present employees so that skilled
workers will not leave the service
for private employment.

"Wood alcohol has been sold prom

the difference is between wood ,alco-

"Grain ALCOHOL" says the bulletin,
"is made from fermentable material,

'Denatured alcohol is grain alcohol
