A Des Moines, Aug. A.-All kinds OF
appeals are being made to the southern
district appeal board in session at the
state house for exemption from SER
vice in. the national army. While the
board has been very careful to give
every man a fair opportunity to pre-
sent his case in writing, not personally,
1t Is at the same time hewing close
to the lines laid, down by the federal
government.

peal but it has been represented in
instances that they could stay out OF

cided by the president. This Is the
farthest from the truth, Chairman Ely
declares, and Furthermore the men who
anneal their cases will forfeit what
extra time has been given them.
There is every indication now that
the government expects little If any
delay in getting the first quota of its
drafted men into training camps. The

consider the money draft" bill pro-
posed by Representative Flenhiken of
Jones county;-will be decided here Aug,

A poll now being taken among the

not to wait until August 80. He de-
clares the proposal for special session
should be made before the governor

Hits at Sackers.
Fienniken's plan is to draft" the
millions that Iowans will invest in lib
Srty loan DOnOS on the SeCOIlu lOdu
soon to be issued. The legislature
would pass a law requiring the state
executive council to spread levy"
against all taxable property in the
state sufficient to raise the amount OF
money which the treasury estimates
will be the Hawkeye states share OF
the loan. The money would be col
lected by bounty treasurers, the same
as taxes The property owner would
receive liberty loan bonds instead " d
tax receipt.
The money draft" has two purposes
to make the Stacker bear his finan-
ciSI burden and to make every man
contribute according to his means. His
taxable property is the best evidence
of his means in the eyes of the legis-
lstors The law would not operate to
bar volunteer buyers. Persons without
taxable property would continue to buy
as they did when the first loan was
floated
