verses Iowa Court in Test
Case Brought by Des
Moines Bankers

Washington, April 22.-Deciding sew
eral cases brought to it by savings
banks in Des Mpines, the 4 supreme
court OF the United States today held
that government bonds In which the
capital stoc kof such banks is invest
ed, are exempt from taxation.
The test opinion was delivered by
Justice Moody in the cases of the
Home Savings Bank VS.. the city of Des
Moines. The Iowa supreme court in
deciding the cases laid down the gen
eral doctrine that general exemption
from state taxation with which the
bonds of the United States are clothed
does not entitle the bank to deduct the
amount of such bonds from the value
of the shares of their stock which are
assessed to 1t for the purpose of taxa
ton"
Justice Moody's opinion reversed
that ruling on the ground that the
course outlined is t'to clearly direct
tax on the securities of the United
States, and therefore is not permis
sible."

Because Of Silence in Haywood and

meeting of the Chicago Federation of

owners and state authorities of Idaho
and Colorado, who were declared TO
be seeking the blood of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone
Denounced by RESOLUTIONS.
The resolutions denouncing the
President for his reported attitude to-
ward Meyer anu Haywood then were
read and adopted They were as fol-
lows:
Whereas, His excellency. Theodore
Roosevelt, President Of the United
States, in a recent Interview is report
ed to have denounced Charles H. Moy-
er and William y. Haywood as dan
gerous and undesirable citizens; and
Whereas, This attack on the charac-
ter of these famous and influential
,labor leaders at this time, when they
hare about to be tried for their lives
sbecause of their devotion to organiz-
ed labor, is SO close to the borderland
of assassination that we cannot draw
the line distinctly; and
Whereas, This neW role of our Presi-
dent is so entirely strange to us that
], we scarcely recognize him in it, we
would most respectfully suggest to
him that he read the lives and study
the characters of Meyer and Haywood
before he again makes such an infam-
ous statement: and
Whereas, A telegram was sent re.
questing the President to either af-
/ firm or deny this statement, and ne
reply having been received,
s Resolved, That we denounce this un-
warranted and den1agogic attack on
our fellow workers, land that the Chi
cago Federation of Labor again re-
affirm its previous declaration that
in the eyes of the law, "all men are
innocent until proven guilty"
