UNCLE SAMS NEW TAXES WHERE THEY HIT YOU—AND HOW! Editor’s Note: This is the sev- enth of 20 daily articles explain- ing the new federal taxes. (Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.) Xt is indeed a hair-splitting job when Uncle Sam sets out to raise an additional $12,000,000 by means of a 10 per cent tax on furs. ‘The experts who made the new tax law, designed to balance the budget, have figured this out in great detail. Of course, furs—as such—are taxed at 10 per cent, but what about fur- trimmed dresses, coats, etc., in which the fur used therein represents only @ portion of the total manufacturer's sales price? Ah, says Uncle Sam: “In order to determine if the tax applies in the case of any article it must be determined whether the value of the fur ... is exceeded in value by; any other single component material, exclusive of labor charges, for manu- | +. If a fur-trimmed coat is com- posed of materials, the cost to the manufacturer of which is, cloth $10, lining $5, findings (including buttons, braid, thread, etc.) $3, and fur trim- ming $15, then the cost of the fur trimming exceeds in value any other single material and is therefore the component material of chief value used in the coat, thus bringing the sale price of the entire garment with- in the scope of the act.” Conversely, it would appear, if the cloth or any other single component. in the garment cost more than the fur trimming there would be no tax. Not only is a 10 per cent tax now added to the cost of a fur coat—which but furs used for other purposes such as rugs, robes, etc., are also taxable. A bearskin rug for the living room, for example, costs just that much more. Repairs to furs are not taxable un- less new fur is used, and then the tax applies only to the price of the facturing or producing the article. WOM TAX Fue COATS ‘AND OTHER new fur. Wolfgang Von Gronau to Continue His Airplane Adventure to Japan + Detroit, Aug. 2.—(4#)—Capt. | Wolfgang Von Gronau, who has | conquered the Atlantic ocean by | air three times and now has de- signs upon the Pacific, expected to continue his flight across the continent Tuesday. Japan is his ultimate destination. Repairs were made Sunday at the Pontiac shops of the Trans- American Airlines corporation to the motor of the plane, which came to Detroit at the end of a tow line Saturday after a forced landing on Lake St. Clair.

Floyd B. Olson late Monday granted the request of Wisconsin authorities for the extradition of Harold Ross of Duluth, who is wanted to face a charge of robbing a bank at Cameron, | Wis., July 15. The governor heard Floyd Prill, deputy constable at Cameron, whe} shot and killed one of three bandiis who held up the bank, identify Ross @s one of the group. Prill shot and killed Emmet Jones of Duluth and said that Ross was one of the other bandits. Prill said Ross shot at him but he escaped by taking refuge behind a tree. He said there was no question in his mind that the bandit was Ross. A group of Duluth witnesses, in- cluding his father, Thomas H. Ross and his mother, testified that Harold ‘was with them in Duluth at the time! of the Cameron robbery. | Andrew Nelson, attorney for Ross, | said he would seek a writ of habeas corpus in Duluth to prevent Ross’ ex-/ tradition. | Governor Olson twice before issued | ‘writs on extradition on Ross, once for | @ robbery at Minot, N. D., in 1931, and} @gain last October when he was wanted for a bank robbery at Stone) Lake, Wis. Both times he was liber-| ated by an order from the district court. | Bismarck Nurses Reduce Fee Scale!

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1982 GERMAN TRAINING SHIP SINKS; 69 CADETS DIE STATE 10 RESERVE EXHIBITION SPACE AT WORLD'S FAIR Decision Reached at Meeting of North Dakota Commis- sion Here Monday Action to reserve space in the state's building at the world’s fair at Chicago in 1933 was taken at a ‘meeting of members of the North {Dakota world’s fair commission here late Monday. Members of the commission who attended the meeting were Governor George F. Shafer, chairman; Joseph M. Devine, commissioner of immigra- tion; Joseph Kitchen, commissioner of agriculture and labor; Mark Con- nolly, New England; and Mrs. E. B. Goss, Minot. Other members are Alex Stern, Fargo, and Robert Byrne, secretary of state. The reserved space will take $9,00C of the $18,000 appropriated for the North Dakota exhibit, the commis- sion secretary said. Much of the remaining $9,000 will be spent in pre- paring the various sections of the exhibit and for transportation. General discussion centered on the composition of the state's exhibit. Members were agreed the general crops this year will aid greatly in preparing an exhibit which will re- flect the possibilities of North Da- kota and ts soils. The exhibit will take on three main features, reflecting the state's agri- cultural resources, its growing indus- tries and its historical background and scenic spots. On the industrial side will be the bentonite, tile, brick, pottery, natural gas, dakolite, flax fibre. presented in the various grains, vege- tables, grasses and fruits. The grains and grasses exhibit is being prepared at the Agricultural college, Fargo, with aid from Prof. T. Jackson, in- structor at the state industrial and normal school, Ellendale. Russell Reid, superintendent of the state his- torical society is in charge of the his- torical display. New Reduced Rates For N. P. Announced New reduced rates on groceries and general store supplies in less than ;carload lots from North Dakota job- bing points to meet those established by the Milwaukee railroad from Aber- deen and Mobridge, S. D., now are effective on the Northern Pacific road, | it was announced by the state railroad commission. ‘The commission cited as an exam- ple the reduction on first-class freight, including fresh fruit and cer- tain grocery items from Bismarck to Mott. The rate is reduced from 68 cents to 40 cents per 100 pounds. Sec- ond and third-class commodities are not reduced, the special rate being 40 cents, while the maximum fourth- class distance rate is 35 cents. The railroad made the reduction following negotiations with the North} Dakota commission. Negotiations are continuing with other railroads to ef- fect similar reductions, according to Ben C. Larkin, chairman of the state commission. 525 Automobiles Sold In State During July New automobiles sold in North Da- kota during July totaled 452 passen- ger cars and 73 commercial vehicles as compared to 595 passenger and 88 commercial sold during the same pe- riod in 1931. The month's passenger car sales raised the total for the year to 3,007 as compared to 6,184 during the same period last year, the total to date in commercial cars to 495 compared to 1,127 during the first seven months of 1931, according to figures compiled from registrations at the motor ve- hicle department by Commercial Serv- ice, Inc., Bismarck.

While several grabbed the speaker others pursued other alleged com- munists but captured only one, Frank Garloke, also of Johnstown, a large fat man who was unable to make speed. Later others were picked up but were released. Mayor Eddie Mc- Closkey, who had been in the van of efforts to thwart communists all day and night, arrested Anthony Andri- assi, Johnstown, in front of the city hall. He, also, was freed.

It will be the 30th park to be- come part of the state’s park system. Among persons interested in the project and who probably will attend the meeting are L. G. Dawes of Rhame, who donated the land on which Fort Dilts is situated; C. H. Cramer and S. P. Grane, Marmarth; Dugald Stewart, Bowman; Mark Con- nolly, New England; and L. Skjelset and H. T. Anderson, Rhame. It is planned to construct a graded road from the main highway to the Dilts site. After the meeting at Rhame the group will drive to the site, which has been fenced off to preserve the spot. Tentative ar- rangements call for addresses by a number of prominent North Dakotans and a band concert as part of the dedication ceremonies. Fort Dilts is located between Mar- marth and Rhame in Bowman county and was used by the Captain J. L. Fisk expedition as a refuge against hostile Sioux Indians in 1864. The tract donated to the historical society is about 525 by 685 feet. The ditches and walls of the old fort still are in- tact. ‘Double Increase’ in Coal Rates Attacked A formal complaint attacking the so-called “double increase” to North and South Dakota, Iowa and Nebras- ka on dock coal has been filed with the interstate commerce commission by the Northwestern Retail Coal Deal- ers’ association. of the states of Minnesota and Wis- consin to permit the emergency in- crease of six cents per ton to be ap- plied on coal from the head of the lakes to intra-state destinations in Minnesota or Wisconsin. A formal petition of intervention in support of the complaint has been filed by the North Dakota railroad commission. When the matter is set for hearing, a representative of the traffic department will submit exhib- its and testimony for the purpose of Tauer’s Produce Co.
