imminent.

CassOn Law Upheld.

Congress will Not Act.
Congressman Kennedy of Iowa has in
formed his constituents who have been
asking that something be done to prevent
the going into effect of the publicity part
of the corporation tax law that 1t has been
decided that the tax shall not be considered
at all by congress because of fear that II
would open up the entire tariff question.
Senator Cummins has written that he is
willing to have the tax repealed and would
favor action by congress. Congressman
Smith is working to- have the publicity
clause repealed by an order constituting 1t
to not permit of publicity and believes the
president will do this. Senator Dolliver is
reported to be favorable to repeal. The
Iowa Manufacturers association is much
disturbed over the matter and is very de-
sirous that some change be made in the
law or in its application.
To Distribute School Money,
The Des Moiues Clearing House associa-
ton is engaged in working on a plan for
the equitable distribution of the school
money of the city among all the banks.
The present plan is for the bank that has
the best political pull to get all the money
and hold 1t without paying interest thereon.
The school fund, which sometimes amounts
to nearly a half million dollars, is the
largest single account which the local
banks have. There is also some talk
among the voters Of selecting a school
treasurer who will compel the banks to
pay interest on the fund. This was done a
few years ago in the case of the county
treasurer.

saloon Cases Decided.
THE lawful sale or keeping for sale Of
liquors never constitutes a nuisance" says
the Iowa supreme court.
The court, in an opinion by Justice Laid,
upheld Judge Parker in the famous Mar
saloon cases and held that the
injunctions as issued were all right and
proper and legal, hence that the continue
alton Of business by the Marshalltown sa-
looms is Illegal. The main point was as to
the wording Of the DEGREES, complaint be-
ing made that they enjoined only the ''un-
sale" Of liquor and not any Eaie or
for sale. The court holds that un-
sale is the thing that is always en-
Joined and forbidden. An injunction is
made against a nuisance, and the lawful
sale OF liquor is never a nuisance.
There were four of the cases, and all
went against the appellants except that In
the case OF one of the partners, =. NJ.
Forney, It was held that he had not re-
celved proper notice, hence that he should
not be held liable for the costs.
