SUPREME COURT
RULES TOWNLEY
MUST Be TRIED
National Nonpartisan League
Head to Answer In Mime
sofa Courts to Disloyalty
Charges.

St. Paul, Mimi, May "A. c.
Town1ey, president of the National
Nonpartisan league, and Joseph Gil
bert, league organization, must stand
trial on charges of disloyalty, the
state supreme court ruled today.
The decision of the Jackson county
district court, overruling demurrers
brought by Townley and Gilbert,
who sought to have the indictments
quashed, was sustained.
The court ruled that the crime of
conspiracy may be committed with
out completion of the act which was
the object of the conspiracy.
Z Gilbert is charged with having
made public utterances designed to
discourage patriotic cooperation in
the war and the Jackson county in
dictments hold Townley responsible
for a Nonpartisan league pamphlet
which, the indictment holds, was\a
violation of the espionage act.
Gilbert is charged with having
used seditious language in an ad-
dress at meeting at LaKeIlelQ,
Mimi, January q, 1917. Gilbert's
attorneys contended that Gilbert's
remarks were not intended to be
disloyal and were merely discus
sion of various phases of economic
conditions in the United States.
Sustaining the order everything
Gilbert's demurrer, the supreme
court ruled that if Gilbert did utter
the statements charged against him,
the language would have tended to
develop an impression that the U.
S. did not have just cause for en-
tering the war and that such ten
dency might have discouraged en-
listment and interfered with the
raising of war funds.
Townley's attorneys argued that
the nonpartisan league principles
were aimed at profiteers and other
enemies of the farmers and that
there was no intention to inspire
antiwar or antigovernment feeling.

DEALERS NOT
TO OvERCHARCE
FOR LUxUR|ES
Clerks Must Become Familiar
With Law; Violation Means
Penalty Of $1,000 and
Years Imprisonment.

Washington, D. C., May 2.-Com-
plants have reached the internal
revenue bureau of retailers charging
more than the actual tax on So
called luxuries, such as expensive
clothing and other personal equip
ment.
Reports indicate that most cases
of overcharging were caused by the
failure of store clerks to acquaint
themselves with provisions of the
law. Officials issued a reminder
that overcharging a tax may render
the dealer or clerk liable to a fine
of $1,000 and a years Imprisonment.
In the case of the luxury taxes,
it was emphasized that the tax of
10 per cent is imposed only on the
excess of cost above a certain sum
specified in the law, and not on the
entire sale price.
Beef tea, coffee, sandwiches, cake,
ice cream in buckets and medicinal
preparations often sold at soda
fountains are not taxable.
