EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fifth of 20 daily articles explain- ing the new federal taxes, ‘Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.) Every time you toast a slice of bread on your electric toaster, heat the coffee in your electric percolator, turn on your AC radio set, sweep your rugs with the vacuum cleaner, turn on the lights in your home or do any of the countless other things that household electricity accomplishes in this modern age you are helping Uncle Sam balance his 1932 budget. If you own an electric clock you are paying taxes 24 hours a day—all of which may seem perfectly shock- ing, but it is merely a part of your “current” expenses. For there is now a tax of 3 per cent of the cost on all electricity used for domestic and commercial purposes, designed to yield an additional $39,000, 000 for the government this year. The law says it must be paid by the con- ‘sumer. Collection of this tax, however, need cause you no worry. Your electric company and Uncle Sam attend to Sixty-seven Per Cent of Phe- nomenon Will Be Visible From Bismarck Urbana, Ill, July 30—@—The eclipse of the sun Aug. 31 will be visi- ble throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. From all parts of North America the dark disk of the moon can be seen on this day cross- ing in front of the sun. But the total eclipse can be viewed only along a strip a hundred miles in width, the track of the moon's shadow over the earth's surface. 100 Seconds to Pass This track begins near the north pole, where the shadow strikes the earth at sunrise. It runs southeast- ward across Hudson Bay, Queebec, | New England, and then out into the ocean, where the shadow leaves the earth at sunset. After traversing the northeast cor- ner of Vermont the center of the shadow will move swiftly past Lan- caster and Conway, N. H. and will / reach the coast about halfway be- tween Portsmouth and Portland. The shadow will arrive in this re- gion about 3:30 p. m,, eastern stand- ard time, and will require only a min- ute and forty seconds to pass over any point on the central line. Will See Corona Crowds of people-will assemble along > the track of the shadow on the after- | close. noon of August 31 to watch the rare spectacle of a total solar eclipse. To- tality will last only 100 seconds at any © place, but if the sky is clear it will be ’ a sight well worth going a long way to During this short interval the moon will hide the sun completely. Day will be turned into night. Stars will come out. The mysterious corona and probably some of the flame-colored » prominences surrounding the sun will burst into view. Preceding this principal feature of the exhibit the partial eclipse can be Been, beginning in New England about 2:20 p. m., eastern standard time; and ‘after totality the moon will not with- draw entirely from before the sun’s disk until 4:30 p. m. ins Lasts Only A Moment t the edges of the shadow track, § miles from the central line, the tal eclipse will last only a moment. southern edge across New Eng- land is a line from the top of Lake mplain to Salem, Mass.

If you buy electricty at a flat rate, you must pay the tax whether you use the current or not, since the levy is based on rate instead of on consump- tion. In many cities, the average house- hold electric bill is about $5 a month. |: This means a tax of 15 cents a month, or $1.80 a year. The law says the tax applies to electrical energy “for domestic or commercial consumption,” which means homes, stores, etc. It ex- empts electrical energy furnished for “industrial consumption.” Such ex- emptions include electricity used for manufacturing, mining, refining, building construction, railroads, tele- cial telegraph and radio facilities, Newspapers are officially classed as industrial enterprises and are there- fore exempt from the tax. Also exempt is electricity used by the federal government, states, cities, counties and towns. + pte | Weather Report | ee | FORECASTS ay For Bismarck and vicinity: Partly cloudy tonight and Sunday; warmer tonight.

MIGHT TEST STATE LAW FOR MINIMUM WAGES FOR WOMEN Chief of Workmen's Compensa- tion Bureau Says It May Be Unconstitutional Minot, N. D., July 30.—(AP)—Out of‘a situation in which wages lower than the scale approved by the Workmen’s compensation bureau are being paid to female workers in a chain mercantile establishment in Minot, under which it was recom- mended to the state’s attorney’s of- fice Saturday that a prosecution be instituted, may come a test to deter- mine whether the North Dakota law setting minimum wages for women in certani lines of endeavor is con- stitutional, Chairman R. E. Wenzel of the North Dakota Workmen’s Compen- sation Bureau Saturday laid before the state’s attorney’s office a recom- mendation that prosecution be insti- tuted against the firm. The bureau chairman said girl clerks are being paid as low as $5 per week for a 38-hour week. “It may be that the law is uncon- stitutional, as the manager undoubt- edly has been advised,” chairman Wenzel said, in urging that a prose- cution be Jaunched with a view to having the state supreme court hand down a ruling. The chairman said that somewhat similar legislation enacted in other states has gone be- fore the United States supreme court and the highest tribunal has ruled the laws illegal. The evidence on which chairman Wenzel made his recommendations to the county prosecutor’s office came out this week in the course of hearings conducted at the Ward county courthouse, dealing primarily with the question of whether or not the present minimum wage schedules should be reduced. Approximately 30 persons—em- ployers and women employes—testi- fied before chairman Wenzel, all of the employers favoring a lowering of the minimum scales, while expres- sions from employes ranged from favoring no changes to not more than a 15 per cent reduction in the mini- mum scale. The hearings were con- cluded late Friday. Next week, similar hearings will be held at Grand Forks, the follow- ing week at Fargo and the next week at Bismarck and Mandan.
