The Nonpartisan Leader Newspaper, June 27, 1921, Page 14

What Is the Law? Under this head legal questions of gen- eral interest will be answered. No charge is made for this service. Questions must be addressed to Vince A. Day, care of Non- partisan Leader, Box 2072, Minneapolis, and must reach this office at least three weeks in advance of the date in which the answer is to appear. If an answer by mail i8 required a fee of $1 will be charged. Persons asking questions must sign their full names, but only initials will be used ‘when the answers are printed. NOTE BY MR. DAY I have received a number of in- quiries inclosing a postage stamp for an immediate reply, and desire to call attention of the readers of the Leader to the fact that a reply by let- ter is furnished only when accom- panied by $1. All letters that do not contain this amount will have to wait for answers in this column of the Leader. There is no charge where the writer does not require answer by mail. In answering F. C. H., who in- quired whether or not the gain receiv- ed in increase of value of land when sold was subject to taxation under the federal income tax law, he was advis- ed that all such gains were subject to taxation. This is correct, but in com- puting the gain and loss sustained in the sale or other disposition of prop- erty, the statutes provide that the basis, in the case of property acquired before March, 1913, is the fair market value as of that date. In the case of property acquired on or after that date, the cost price of the property is the basis. V. A. DAY. CHILD’S RIGHTS ‘What rights have an adopted child in the property of the parties adopting it?— MRS. N. O. Such a child has the same rights as though it were the legitimate child of the adopted parents. MINERAL DEPOSIT I know where there is a valuable deposit of mineral on my neighbor’s land, but he knows nothing of it. Is there any way by which I may derive any benefit from my discovery 7—H. W. No, except by buying the land. NOTES ‘When does a note outlaw in Minnesota ? —M. J. G. Six years. INSURANCE I gave a Nebraska insurance company a note for payment of a life insurance policy, but later decided not to take the insurance, notified the agent and never re- ceived a policy or took physical examina- tion. The insurance company sold the note to a bank ‘that is now trying to col- lect it. What can I do?—A. D. It might You must.pay the note. be well for you to present yourself for examination in order that you may re- ceive some value for your money. ROAD SURVEY The town board surveyed a road near my section line in 1877, but established the road on my land at another place. If the road were run according to the survey I could crop about 40 additional acres. Can I compel them to change the road ?2— No. You can petition the town board to change the road for the rea- sons given in your inquiry and they will no doubt make the change. GRAIN SCALES The local elevator company has its scale in a dark place where it is hard to read the weights. What can I do to compel them to put the scale out where we can see our weights ?7—L. A. D. You should call the matter to the at- tention of the state inspector of weights and ‘measures, who has power to correct the matter. CAN'T INVADE LAND Can county commissioners put a road through my farm without paying me for the land 7—H. B. No. It is necessary for the county commissioners to assess and deter- mine the amount of damages before the road can be opened. ~ Co-Operation Win- ning Out in Italy (Continued from page 6) tion is outdistancing the industrial workers of the city in the extent and variety of its co-operative projects. In addition to operating farms €o-0p- eratively, the agricultural workers are entering into contracts with the gov- ernment for building roads, draining swamps and the conduct of other large construction projects. They probably will play an important part in the construction of electric power stations throughout Italy for the furnishing of power for all the railroads and indus- tries of the country. An effort is be- ing made to free the country from de- pendence on England for coal by utilizing the enormous waterpower of the Alps and the Apennines. Unique among the leaders in the co- operative movement is Mme. Argen- tina Altobelli, national secretary of the Agricultural Workers’ federation. She has been active in the movement for the organization of the farmers and industrial workers for nearly 40 years, and has been the national sec- retary of the Agricultural Workers’ federation for 16 years. “Through their organization and through the co-operative movement the agricultural workers of Italy are emerging from a state of the most miserable slavery to a state of free- dom and happiness,” said Mme. Alto- belli in an interview in her Rome of- fice. “With a membership of 700,000 in the federation we have the power to do wonderful things in the way of co- operation. the agricultural workers of Italy in a great body which will produce co-op- eratively and distribute their products co-operatively to the workers of Italy and the world. Important beginnings have been made in co-operative farm- ing and co-operative distribution, and in a few years there will be entire sec- tions where eo-operation will be the rule for all.” “ HOW TO TELL The date on which your subserip- tion to the Leader expires is print- ed on the label containing your name. The label is pasted on the front cover of each issue you get. The date of expiration is printed in figmres. Thus, if your subscrip- tion expires July 11, 1921, the fig- -ures on the label would be “7 11 21.” The “7” stands for July, the seventh month, the “11” for the eleventh day of the month, and the “21” for the year 1921. ° Watch the date of expiration of the label of your paper and see that you get in your renewal in time not to miss an issue. Unless we receive your renewal in advance at $1.50 a year we have to take you from the list. We can not wait for the Nonpartisan league to sign you up for another term in the League, Present business conditions and high costs prevent that. So send us your renewal BE- FORE expiration of your subscrip- tion. Most of our readers send $3 for two years.and thus escape the bother of renewing again at the end of a year. If you later join or renew in the League, you will be credited on your League dues with the subscription money you have paid the Leader. But subscribing for the Leader does not obligate you in any way to join or renew in the League. Your Leader subscription must be kept up if your organized plans ari (‘ito be successfully carried out. — v. > It is our goal to unite all” results come from Leader Classified Ads, Rates are 15 cents per word per issue. of 10 cents per word is made. ship receipt when claiming the 10-cent rate. full rate.

D. WORKERS’ LIVING COST The minimum cost of living for a workingman with an average family of five is placed at $1,742.68 per year by the Citizens’ Bureau of Research of Philadelphia, Pa. The “budget” of the Philadelphia investigators contains no provisions for laying aside money for a “rainy day.” Therefore a workingman would have to make more than $145 a month the year around, with no provisions for losses in earning power on account of illness or industrial depression. The budget was figured on Phila-~ delphia prices, which evidently are much lower than those in the North- west. The workman is allowed only $30 a month for a six-room house, is supposed to buy coal at from $12.50 to $15.50 a ton, gas for $1 per 1,000 cubic feet and to get bread for 8 cents per pound, all of which prices are far below the average in the Northwest. Most of the clothing of the family is supposed to be home-made and all laundry is supposed to be done at home with the exception of one collar to be laundered each week. The head of the family is allowed one suit at $20 each year and one $20 overcoat to last him two years, two pairs of shoes at $5 and other obg‘ects in proportion.. «. Drexel
