NINE MILLION SAVED
State Of New York Vitally Af- fectcd By Recent Decision On In Come Tax Law.

Albany, N. Y, June 2.-New York state saves more than $9,000,000 as a result of a decision of the court r appeals today sustaining the con- stitutionality of the provisions of the state income tax law affecting residents. An opinion written by Judge Emory A. Chase in the case of George A. Stafford, an inn porter doing business in New York city and residing in Connecticut, up holds the contention of Attorney Gen. Charles D. Newton that the leg islature acted within its rights when it made the income tax law applic- able to residents who derived their income from sources within New York state and that the law as it affected non-residents generally, was constitutional.
 Stafford'S contention was that since the United States supreme court had held the original New York state income tax law uncon- stitutional on account of a provision discriminating against non-residents in the matter of exemptions no tax could be collected under it, and that amendments enacted in 1920 failed to cure the defects in the law or to impose a new valid tax.

H0RSELESS BUGGY
 KILLS HAY SALES
Advent of Automobile Seriously
 Affects Grain Markets

New York, June An annual market for 1,2O0,UO0 tons of hay and an equal tonnage of grain has been destroyed within the past ten years in the eleven Northeastern states in the area extending from Maine south to Maryland, according to a statement just issued by the Horse Association ot America Statistics compiled by this association show that the num- Der of horses in cities and towns in this area, which extends westward to the state of Ohio, has been reduced 400, ,000 head.
 In the city of New York alone the number of horses has been reduced from 12S,000 in 1910, to approximate ly 7s,O00 in 1920. This reduction has cut the annual sales of hay in New York down to 15O.OOO tons per year. It is stated that grain dealers have suffered an equal loss through the same cause.
 The association states that within the last ten years this country has suffered the loss of an annual market for more than 113, 3,000.000 bushels of oats 70,000,000 bushels of corn and 475,000,000 tons of hay. It is point ed out that these markets directly af- feet every farmer in the country. In the Northeastern states alone it is estimated that the number of horses in cities, towns and villages has been reduced sufficiently in the last ten years to destroy an annual hay market valued at SPA, 100000.
 The Horse association is making every effort to help the farmers of the country reinstate these lost mar kets. According to Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse association, farmers all over the country are be- ginning to see the direct relation to themselves of a steady market for grain and hay which can be re-estab- lished when the markets for horses and mules are brought back to former standards.
 Agricultural colleges and extension courses, county agricultural advisers and country banks are cooperating with the Horse association in helping the farmer reclaim some of his lost markets.

BE MEN, NOT SNOBS,
 IS DENBY'S ADVICE
Secretary of Navy Gives Strong
 Address to Annapolis Grads

AuflapOllS. M0., June -.-In present. ing commissions to the graduating class of the Naval Academy here today. Sec retary Denby himself an enlisted man in the navy in the Spanish-American war and q private, sergeant and com missioned officer in the marine corps in the world war. struck a new note in urging that professional attributes of the naval officer be combined with respect for the enlisted force.
 Do Not Be Snobs.
 You must so conduct yourselves that your superior in rank shall respect you. your equals love you and those under your command obey you with d snfle." cers, but not snobs. Your commis- sions are iIl-bestowed unless you are free from a foolish vanity of rank.
 Pride should be yours, very just and honest pride in your uniform. That pride may be best shown by so wearing that uniform that all must honor it and you.
 Must be Real Men.
 No one knows better than I with what great respect the enlisted man looks upon an officer who is every inch a man. No one knows better than I with what contempt the enlisted man views the officer who is unduly burdened with the weight of his own importance. The enlisted man will quickly size you up. He wants to like you. He wants to respect you. He quite properly feels that he is too much a man him. self to want to be commanded by one lacking any essential element of man. hood"
 Reviewing the deeds of the Navy Secretary Denby bespoke in the new officers a spiritual consecration to duty.
 '''If you arc to be it inheritors and transmitters of the glorious traditions of. the navy he said. you must dedicate yourselves today to lives of and absolute devotion. Most particularly our oountry's honor and material interests arc in your hands.
 Die As Gentlemen.
 When the red day comes-if come it must-when in the flame of battle your souls are taken from you under our country's flag, you will die as gentle men should die, honest and simple and brave. regretting nothing and glad that you have so lived as to merit so worthy u death.
 ''I do not anticipate however that if you live as officers should live and if the navy keeps up its standards of material and men," Secretary Denby that you will ever be called upon to offer that great sacrifice upon your country's altar. You will be called upon to live for your country and that is hard because it is a matter of constant watchfulness.
 Shun Dangers Ashore.
 Speaking as one ''who has been comrade-in-arm with many men," Secretary Denby warned the graduates to ''shun the dangers ashore as earn estly as you court those afioat.'
 You think perhaps I am too seri- ous." he said. You would not think so if you were compelled to sit, as do almost diiIy in Judgment on my fellow men and associates in the service. You would not think me too serious if you knew the heartache 1t gives to sign the paper that means dismissal or dishonor- able discharge
