> MAKES RULING ON + TAX COLLECTIONS; | WHY , THERE'S Sheriff. Should Demand Pay-| ment From Tax Debtor Who ; Sells Personal Property 1 Where a person selis nis personal | property and does not retain suffi-/ cient of the property to pay his taxes, the sheriff should take steps to col- lect the taxes, according to an opin- ion by Attorney General James Mor- ris. { The attorney gencral stated the sheriff should demand payment of taxes from the tax debtor and if they are not paid, he should proceed by distraint, first against the property of the tax debtor over and above the; exemptions of the taxable property. and second, against any property which has been sold by the tax debt- or. This can be done under a 1931 legislative act, he said. " Morris’. opinion was in reply to in-} quiries from J. O. Peterson, Devils Lake, Ramsey county auditor, who} cited the case involving the Interna- tional Harvester company, which ob- tained a bill of sale from a farmer last April covering 10 horses, a trac- tor, and other machinery on which the firm had a mortgage. The company then sold this prop- erty, and the sheriff attempted to collect delinquent taxes on the grounds that the taxes would follow the property, Pcterson advised the attorney general. The International Harvester com- pany refused to pay the taxes on the grounds that their mortgage was giv- en prior to the passage of chapter 279, session laws of 1931, providing’ for collection of delinquent personal taxes. This law, Morris said, went into ef- fect March 10, 1931, and therefore be- came effective as to personal prop- erty taxes assessed for the year 1931. ‘The act provides that certain prop- erty is exempt from distraint and sale, namely, personal property con- sisting of household furniture, wear- ing apparel and necessary provisions belonging to the head of a family to the value of $100. As to taxes levied for 1930 and prior years, Morris ruled there is no lieni upon any personal property for these taxes which follows the prop- erty in the hands of an innocent pur- chaser, and if distraint was not made by the sheriff before the bill of sale was given and accepted, the sheriff ‘cannot now levy on or distrain the property for those taxes. Chapter 279 does not apply to per- sonal property taxes assessed before the law went into effect. ¢—_—____—__— | AT THE MOVIES | ¢————____—__————_- CAPITOL THEATRE Eddie Cantor's memorable entry in- to the motion picture firmament by “Whoopee” has been eclipsed in “Palmy Days,” the famous comic’s second screen vehicle which will be presented by Samuel Goldwyn at the Dapitol theatre on Monday. ° Surrounded by myriads of feminine pulchritude Pogany settings, an out- standing cast arid a story in which Cantor collaborated with Morrie Rys- kind and David Freedman, the star of “Palmy Days” projects himself from hilarity to uproariousness in a series of ingenious Cantor situations. Edward Sutherland, who rose to his mighty megaphone status after as- sisting Charlie Chaplin in “A Woman of Paris” and since directing twenty- five comedy successes, has inspired a dash and, movement. in Cantor's lat- est endeavor that gathers whirlwind momentum as it, approaches its side- splitting climax. More than five thousand applicants appeared for the “Palmy Days” chorus when production began. Fifty girls were accepted as the most beau- tiful, and the gorgeous ensembles in which they appear give unique en- hancement to a story continuity through which Cantor plunges goggle- eyed. In a startling swimming pool set designed by Willy Pogany, the chorus engages in applause-provoking frolics Jed by three Olympic mermaids, each an aquatic champion. They are Olive Hatch, Southern California 100-yard champion;. Georgia Coleman, national diving champion, and Dorothy Poyn- ton, runner-up to Miss Coleman. Youthful Barbara Weeks sings, dances and laughs her way through the pic-) ture as an accomplice and coadjutor to Cantor and the elongated Char- lotte Greenwood. “Palmy Days” boasts the presence of three former musical comedy stars. First, of course, is Eddie Cantor, who ended several years as star of musical shows with the Ziegfeld production, “Whoopee.” Charlottee Greenwood, Cantor's foil, starred in such stage productions as “So Long Letty,” “Linger Longer Let- ty,” “The Tik Tok Man of Oz,” and the’ “Ritz Revue.” Walter Catlett, completing the trio has been on the stage for several years. ‘PARAMOUNT THEATRE \ The answer to many a maiden’s| prayer is to be found in the teaming| of Greta Garbo and Clark Gable in “Susan Lenox, Her Fall and Rise,” whi&h opens now at the Paramount Theatre. It was a happy and wise decision that made the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer officials cast this engaging newcomer opposite the famous Swedish star. Gable is right at the top of the lad- der in the estimation of fans and his work in the Garbo picture would seem to assure his early bid for stardom. Garbo is magnificent as the heroine of the David Graham Phillips story which Robert Z. Leonard directed. The dramatic regeneration theme makes ideal material for Garbo. In the opinion of this reviewer she ac- complishes the greatest individual characterisation of all her talkie ef- forts. Would Boost Prices For Pullman Berths An increase of 20 per cent in the cost of @ lower berth when occupied by two persons is sought by the Pull- man company on interstate and in- trastate traffic, according to new tar- iffs filed with, the state railroad com-} mission. On protést, the Interstate Com- mercé Commission at Washington thas suspended the ‘proposed increase, . pending an investigation of its rea- sonableness. The state commission has taken similar action on the pro- posal for an increase on North Dako- ta intrastate traffic. { ' Attorney Lynn of Linton transact- OUT OUR WAY 4 Ss NOTHINGr MUCH To THAT.

WHEAT PRIGE RISE. | PLEASING FARMERS Anticipated Shortage of Bread Grain in Europe Seen as Primary Cause Chicago, Oct. 31—()—Good news] was current for farmers and other holders of wheat Saturday. | Reports were circulated that buy-/| ers of the world’s breadstuffs will have to turn to the United States and! Canada for large quantities of wheat before the next harvests of the north- ern hemisphere. These reports said the grain bins of Europe held only four weeks’ supply. This feeling of an impending short- age, or at least of a restoration of; normal relationship of world supply and demand, apparently had its ef- fect on the trading on the Chicago Board of Trade Friday. Prices went to the season's highest peak. Future deliveries rose from 2% to 2% cents @ bushel, May wheat closing at 64%. Wheat has been crawling steadily upward since the low was established Oct. 5. Future quotations are now 16 cents, or more than 30 per cent, above that low figure, and corn and rye have had even more spectacular ad- | vances., } “The recent upward trend in grain markets has been justified by the de-; mand and is a condition we have been | working toward for some time”, said! George 8. Milnor of the Grain Stabil- | ization corporation. “We who havci been watching the turn af events, are! naturally quite elated at the general! improvement this means, not only in| the country but in creating more) business activity.” —-—____—_—_____—_-° | Hazelton { —___—— 2 By ADALINE LANDSBERGER Mr. and Mrs. H, A.

I: would prefer our major effort to be against the manufacturer and transporter, thus leaving the seller to the local authorities. “That, however, is a general prin- ciple and I have concluded that the federal activity against the seller in! this state has been due to the public! complaints against Mr. Harney.” Ask Chicago Mayor To Close ‘Hideout’!
