ON 3-MILE LIMIT

New York, Oct. 24-An appeal
from the decision of Federal Judge
Hand, denying the motion of twelve
foreign and American steamship
companies for a permanent injunc-
ton of the enforcement of the
Daugherty bone dry ship ruling, was
filed today by counsel for the Gun
ard. Anchor. French. International
Mercantile Marine and International
Navigation Lines.
The appeal followed the issuance
today of a decree confirming Judge
Hands temporary stay, granted yes
terday. of seizure by federal enforce
ment agents of liquor to be used for
ships crews on the eastbound voy-
age to Europe on foreign ships. The
decree made the stay conditional
upon each line posting a bond of
$4,000 and making an appeal with
in five days.
Counsel for all of the IL lines af-
fected by Judge Hands decision
probably will appeal to a United
States Supreme Court justice for a
supersedas stay, holding up enforce
ment until the Supreme Court acts
on the appeal from Judge Hands
decision, it was announced by Ev-
erett Masten of counsel for the White
Star and five other foreign lines.
The President Harding of tho Uni
ted States Line arrived today from
England. bringing under lock and
seal five gallons Of brandy which the
captain had to take on board in
Tillbury docks. London, in order to
comply with British laws covering
the granting of clearance papers.
Captain Pendlebury. of the Presi-
dent Harding said that. after he had
unloaded the ships supply of liquor
in London, in compliance with wire
less orders from the Shipping Board.
he was refused clearance papers by
the British board of trade, which in
sisted that he comply with the law
requiring ships to carry a gallon Of
brandy for each one hundred steerage
passengers carried.
There was no sickness on board
during the trip so that the brandy
remained under seal throughout the
voyage, the captain said.

all. a member Of the Advisory Com

of Armaments. was asked today if he
agreed with Governor Baxter that rec
ignition of Navy Day would under
mine the work of that gathering. He
replied that he was sorry to differ with

it seemed to him to refuse this recog-
milton for the reason given would be
no more sensible than to refuse to
celebrate the 4th of July.
Neither the President who called the
Conference nor the Administered ton had

raised by any member of the Advisory

Honest Tax Paying

The great deficit this year in the
governments income is due to part
to the reduced earnings of the peo-
pie in ordinary or moderate circun-
stances. and corresponding reduc-
ton in income taxes. There are a
great many millions of folks who,
when things go well, can put few
hundreds or few thousands in the
income FAX fund, and the multiplied
ton of these small amounts is what
pays the bill. But the millions VINO
have been in the income tax class
the last year may have considerable
weight with the next congress wner
! il devises sources Of revenue.
The big fellows never get out o.
the income tax class unless, as was
the case with one James J. Hill, the!
see the tax storm coming and ge
into shelter. Probate records SHOW
how Mr.. Hill, the deceased railwa!
magnate. ran to cover. The truste'
of the estate reveals that his fathe
changed his investments into tax
exempt securities in the days o
Imurderous surtaXes and thereo
saved he estate in one year $3.50
600 in taxes.
. Some people say no man ca
amass a million dollars honestl!
Well, Mr.. Hill made $4,000 q
one year in an entirely honest wa!
Sure, it's honest, or it wouldn't be
law of the land. However, it Ism
fair to the little fellow who wou
like to swap his old car for ne
one but has to pay the cash diffe
e ence to the government as incon

BOTH PARTIES TO CONVENE
AUGUST 2
Rival State Conventions to be Held
Same Day.

A political two ring circus was
assured for Des Moines next August
when subcommittee of the demo-
cratic state central committee con-
firmed the selection Of Des Moines as
the place for the state convention
and fixed Aug. as the date.
This is the same date on which
the republicans will meet, and means
that Des Moines will be the mecca
for leading politicians of both major
Mr.. and Mrs. UnarIes MINER VI
DEBORAH visited at the o. F. Miller
parties during the first week IN Au-
gust.
The republican convention will be
held in the Coliseum, while the de-
mocrats will convene in the Auditor
Jun, four blocks away. ....
August 2 is the last day on which
parties may hold a state convention
and the fixing of the same date by
both parties means that neither vii
know in advance the planks in the
other party's platform.
The republican convention ma!
be one of the most important II
a number of years, since it is pos
sible that candidate for United
States senator will be selected a
this meeting, and with the convic
ton that the tide has turned AM
the possibility that the republica
senatorial fight may leave man
voters dissatisfied, the democrat
will also count their convention on
with big opportunities.
The decision TO make the pr
Iitical show a doubleheader was a
rived at yesterday when Z. J. Ecu
ing Of New Hampton, chairman
the state committee, conferred wi
Harry Cook of Eagle Grove and
