LEGALITY OF TAX METHODS for the regular four year college groups. t The increase has taken place in every division of the work. At Standard Oil Company Claims Tax Commission Should Use Special Procedure Whether the method used by the state tax commission in spportion-| ing the income taxes of foreign cor- porations is legal is the question in- volved in a law suit now pending in federal court between the state of North Dakota and the Standard Oil company. The Standard Oil company con- tends that it has the right to compel the state tax commission to adopt a special method of allocating its in- come, contending that its business in this state is casily separated from the business conducted outside the state. The tax commission contends that the same method of allocating income applied to other corporations should be applied to the Standard Oil com- pany. The company holds, in brief, that the income tax paid by the com- pany in North Dakota should be determined by the relation which property owned and business done in‘ the state has to the total property $100,000 Involved Clarence Darrow was} notables of the literary and legal vate the 70th birthday of the fa-{ w is shown with her husband, with: EXECUTED SHE WHITE WOMAN IN U.S. TO PAY THE SUPREME PENALTY th which to contrast determined young struggling determined there time; and determined ho break past the g: nee—theirs is a determination , ene feels, will pass when the day’s work is done; Mrs. Snyder's is indelible, as though graven in stone.

ARMY RATIONS ARE CHANGING, LIST REVEALS Only Half Pound of Beans Per Man Needed For Sum- mer Camp at Devils Lake ‘Army rations, like army are changing. \ Time was when the festive bean was the piece de resistance of most army meals. In the late war it was flanked by “canned willie,” “gold- fish” and other items familiar to the memory of many veterans, but| it no longer holds the position once accorded it. The schedule of supplies issued by, the adjutant general’s office for tac summer encampment at Camp Graf- ton, Devils Lake, shows that only’ half a pound of beans is allowed for each man for the two-week period. Included in the list of rations onj which bids have been asked are 100; f lima beans and 500 pounds beans, and-there will be more than 1,200 men in camp. Despite the downfall of the bean, however, there will be plenty of food to sustain the soldiers after a hard day of drill. Experts connected with the adjutant general's office explain that a greater variety of food is of- fered now than formerly was the case and hence fewer beans are needed.
