U.S. CLAMPS DOWN
ON IMPORTS; LIST
NOTJSSENTIAL
Action Taken in Effort to Con
serve Tonnage for Prosecu
tion of War; Not Seriously
Affect Public.
(By AMoelatd Pre.)
Washington, March 22. The first
list of imports to be prohibited en
trance into this country, in an effort
to conserve tonnage for prosecuting
the war was made public tonight by
the war trade board, under authority
of President' Wilson's proclamation
of February 14, which put all imoprts
under license.
By denying permits for the importa
tion. of certain metals, foodstuffs and
luxuries, which can be obtained here
or can be sacrificed, to1 the "greater
need of putfing ships 'into war bust
ness, the board expects to add 1,500,
000 dead weight tons to the fleet car
rying men and munitious to Europe.
Tonight's list of articles constitutes
only those least essential, concerning
which there was little argument
Lists to follow will touch various'in
terests. more closely, and will not be
issued until after consultation with
the trades affected, so that there will
be a minimum of disorganization and
loss.
Must Forego Luxuries.
Some of the prohibitions will scarce
ly be noticed by anyone in this coun
try, as they affect, imports of which
only a small percentage come from
overseas. One per cent of the im
ported, agricultural implements" come
in ships, it was oointed out. and the
prohibition will mean little or nothing
to the consuming public, but will save
an appreciable amount of shipping
space.. Many of the nrohibited arti
cles are of bulky nature comnard
with their weight, so that the con
servation actually would be greater
than the .figures indicated. The
elimination of many long hauls silso
will serve to Increase tonnage facili
ties. :

HAMER CANDIDATE
. FOR SUPREME JUDGE
-
Juris'; Who Has Opposed En
dorsement of State Bar As
ciation Announces That He
Will Make the Bace.
(From a Staff Correpond?nt.) .
Lincoln, March 22. (Special.) Su
preme Court Judge Francis G. Hamer
is going to be a candidate for re-election
without waiting for thee ndorse
ment of the State Bar association and
without the consent of any other na
tion on earth. He has opposed the
bar endorsement, which is expected
to be made public very soon and fore
stalls such announcement by making
a little showing himself.
Judge Hamer wants it understood
that he cares more for the endorse
ment of the people of Nebraska than
he does for the small percentage of
the Bar association who were present
at the meeting which took action fa
vorable, to the state bar endorsing
candidates. He says that when 'the
people of the state inaugurated the
primary law they did so with the one
object in view that organizations and
the like could not put something over
on the voter by a pre-arranged pick
ing of candidates.
Up to the People.
He wants the people of the state to
remember that he is willing to put
the picking' up to them, and if they are
satisfied with his record on the bench
he would like to be returned. He
says it is simply u pto the voters of
Nebraska and to these voters as a
whole he is willing to submit his
candidacy. Regarding his announce
ment he says in a signed statement,:
"Subject to the action of the voters
who may sign the necessary petitions
required by law, and to the further ac
tion of the voters in casting the nec
essary ballots to secure my nomina
tion at the non-partisan primary elec
tion to be held in August, 1918, I
hereby announce my expectation to
become a candidate for judge of the
supreme court of the state of Ne
braska at the next November elec
tion. I seek a second term and am
in excellent health and will see many
of you during tie summer and fall.
When I me to th estate I stopped
a short time in Omaha, later settling
at Lincoln and subsequently remov
ing to Kearney where I was twice
elected as district judge and served
a little mort than eight years, and
where I lived at the time of my elec
tion as judge of the supreme court."

'MONEY SLACKERS'
MUST PAY TAX OR
BE PROSECUTED
Federal Officials Say Number
of Nebraskans Have Not
"Come Across;" Only 10 .
Days More.
The government will prosecute a
number of tNebraskang unless they
"come across" in accordance with the
war income tax law, federal officials
say.
"We are about 20.000 returns short
of the number estimated for Nebras
ka, said Internal Revenue Collector
Loomis. "They are coming in at the
rate of about 800 a day, but April 1,
the limit of time, is only 10 days
away, t seems evident that there is
considerable attempted tax dodging
going on.
"I want to say that the government
has a thousand various agencies at
work to detect these 'money slack
ers.' Some of them may think their
little schemes are safe. But they may
wake up to an unpleasant realization
that the hand of the government is
manifold and strong and active.
No Excuses Go..
"We are going to prosecute the tax
slackers just as vigorously as the
draft slackers. No excuse will get
by. A vast amount of publicity has
been given to the law and there is
no reason why anyone should fail
to make his return. Just as soon as
the time limit is up our inspectors
and various other agencies will put
their hands on the dodgers. They
will be brought in and will discover
that it is a dangerous and expensive
thing to try to defy the government.
"It is every loyal citizen's duty not
only to make his own return, but also
to notify the department ot any case
in which a person is trying to evade
th tax. And we have received hun
dreds of such notifications from in
dividuals."
The law nrovides a fine of not more
than $1,000 and imprisonment of not
more than one year for a person who
fails to make a return or who makes
a false return to the federal tax col
lector. AH single persons with in
romes of $1,000 or more and all mar
ried persons with incomes of $2,000
or more must make the return.
