APPOINTMENT OF ANDREW MILLER, FEDERAL JUDGE, CONFIRMED BY SENATE Bismarck, Feb. 4.—Andrew Miller, whose appointment as United States District Judge for North Dakota, was confirmed by the United States Sen ate in executive session, Feb. 2, is ex pected to return to Bismarck next week. Mr. Miller, it was expected, would confer with the Department of Justice before leaving Washington and perhaps take the oath of office. He planned to stop off at Chicago to visit his son and likely will stop in Fargo to confer with court officials and to go over the calendar. The federal court calendar, which Judge Miller will handle, is crowded. Because of the illness of Judge Ami don and the difficulty of getting other federal judges to hold long terms of court in North Dakota, there is a mass of business accumulated. Many per sons are said to have been in jail for months because of the fact that there had been no court session to dispose of their cases. Under the terms of the bill which created the judgeship in North Da kota, Mr. Miller will be known as as sociate district judge until the retire ment of Judge Amidon when he be comes the only federal judge in the state. -The appointment as federal judge is for life, at a sajary pf !B7,fQ0 a year. Other Appointments A thorough reorganization of the court machinery in North Dakota is expected to follow. The appointment of L. McBride as United States District Attorney and James Shea as U. S. Marshal are expected to come soon according to word from Wash ington. They will replace the present Democratic office-holders. The position of federal judge is not the first public office which Mr. Miller will have held. He had held minor offices in Iowa as a young man before coming to North Dakota and was At torney General of the state for two terms. Confirmation of Mr. Miller had been opposed by the clean court committee of North Dakota which filed with a GILL-TENNYSON DEPT. STORE PHONE 276 Anderson Block Our Grocery stock is com plete.

The subcommittee had hear ing: behind closed dehors at which all witnesses which desired to appear were heard. Among others who opposed the nomination were former Senator A. J. Gronna of North Dakota. The. subcommittee after taking testimony made a favorable report to the full committee, where new charges were encountered and the nomination was referred back to them for further inquiry. Additional witnesses ap peared but the storm of last Satur day prevented others from reaching Washington and ended the hearings. It was reported by those who at tended the executive hearings of the committee that the opposition to Mr. Miller was based in part on his alleged attitude during the war but it was understood that committee members felt such charges had not been sub stantiated. Langer Tells How He Worked Ruse To Visit Townley In Jail William Langer, former Attorney General, who engaged in a series of debates with A. C. Townley in Kan sas, Nebraska and Minnesota last summer, today explained the visit he made to Townley in Jackson County, Minnesota jail, early in December. A Story published in a Minneapolis pa per was tailed to Mr. Langer'? at tention. "Former County Auditor, Win. E2. VadnaiS, of Divide County, was in the state prison," Langer said. "He asked me to help him get out. I in vestigated circumstances and was con vinced that Vadnais, who had been the I. V. A. chairman in Divide County, had been railroaded to prison by Non partisans. They had promised him suspended sentence if he pleaded guilty to charges of misuse of funds but instead put him in prison. None of Vadnais' political friends were helping him. "Vadnais had no money and his family was in hard circumstances. I acted as his lawyer without pay. I got a writ of habeas corpeus from the supreme court releasing him but Bratlein threatened to push other charges and it was necessary to get him a pardon. "I wanted Townley to use his in fluence to call off Nonpartisan at tacks on Vadnais. I had told him during debates in Kansas, that if he went to jiil I was coming to see him. He replied he would not let me in. So I went to a,nearby town, telephoned Townley's secretary, told him I was Senator John Jorgenson, of Iowa, and that I wanted to see Townley. I went to Jackson to keep the appointment and the sheriff let me in. I spent an hour with Townley but got no definite promise and went back again to talk over Vadnais' case. We also discuss ed physical culture which Townley was much interested in. I did not get a definite answer from Townley but some of the opposition to a pardon disappeared and Yadnais was pardon ed. I went there as an attorney rep resenting a client, and after the inter view I told the sheriff who I was." EVER EAT RABBITS? UNEMPLOYED AIDED Raidroad Agrees to Ship N. D. Ani mals Free to Union City Mission Minneapolis, Feb. 5.—Rabbit steaks, cotlets and spareribs—rabbit fricassee au gratin and a la King—rabbits served up in every mode and style known to chefs since the first rabbit was put over the fire for prehistoric man's evening dinner, are going to help solve the problem of feeding the hungry and unemployed at the Union City mission in Minneapolis, Rev. W. E. Paul, superintendent, announced yesterday. An offer made by officials of the Great Northern railroad to transport without charge all shipments of rab bits from North Dakota addressed to the Union City mission in Minneapolis has been accepted by the mission as a means of supplementing the food sup ply required to feed more than 1,000 unemployed men each iday. The num ber of meals served daily at the Uqion City mission is approximately 4,000, Mr. Paul said, and of that number by far the most are free meals. Because of the prevalence of rab bits in North Dakota this winter, busi ness men and farmers in that state are planning rabbit hunt's. Mr. Paul said he expected the first shipment of rabbits this week. In the meantime the chefs of the Union City mission are poring over cook books to acquaint themselves with all the different ways nn which rabbit may be prepared so than even the most unerring palate cannot recog nize it. Income Tax Facts Changes in the revenue law are of material benefit to the average family man. Under the revenue act of 1921 a married person, living with wife or husband, whose net income for 1921 was $5,000 or less, is. allowed a per sonal exemption of $2,500. Under the revenue act of 1918 the exemption al lowed a married person was $2,000, re gardless of the amount of net income. The normal tax rate is the same, 4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net in come above the exemptions, and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. Given his personal exemption of $2,500, plus $400 for each dependent, a married man with three children— the average American family—will pay this year on a net income of $4,000 a tax of $12. On the same in come for 1921 he would have paid a tax of $56. Every citizen and resident of the United States must determine for himself whether his income for 1921 was sufficient to require that a re turn be filed.
