AUTO TAX. LAWS ARGUED.
New Jersey Statute Before the U. S.
Supreme Court.

Constitutionality of New Jersey auto
mobile license tax laws, Involving taxa
tion powers of states and traffic privi-
leges of nonresident motorists, was
argued late yesterday before the Su-
preme Court of the United States, in a
suit in which the American Automobile
Association and National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce were represent
ed by counsel.
Whether states have authority to
raise, through motor license taxes. road
maintenance revenues, and whether
automobile pleasure touring is inter-
state commerce" were said to be new
and undetermined questions presented.
The case came up on an appeal by
Frank J. Kane of New York, from
conviction of motoring in New Jersey
without paying the registration license.
The New Jersey courts upheld the state
laws. declaring that the license taxes,
though designed to raise revenues.
were not unconstitutional. nor, as to
non residents. state interference with
interstate commerce.

Track TEAM At HIGH SCHOOL
ABOLISHED AND AT
TENTI0N TURNED TOWARD
TRACK TEAM

No baseball team will be organized
at the high school this year but in it's
stead there will be track team, some
thing that has not been attempted
here for years, but which the school
heads believe will be success.
Baseball has never been a success
full sport for the high school here, as
the season is too short. The players
have hardly had chance to work out
we'll before the had to disband, as
the school term end approached. With
track team more students can lake
part and more interest is thus created.
The boys have already begun prae.
ticing, using the grounds in back of
the, high school. Petrus Liljedahl, as
sisted by Herman Bakken, are in
charge Of the work. All of the appa-
ratus except that which will be made
by the manual training boys, has been
received.
st. Cloud has track team every
year and other high schools in this part
Of the state will very likely have track
teams this year. An effort will be
made to have a track meet here some
time in May.

COUNTY BOARD BUYS CLOCK
WITH MONEY LEFT FOR THAT
PURPOSE BY THE LATE
JOSIAH PAGE

A clock will occupy the tower Of
the court house here on or about July
l, the board of county commissioners
having purchased one at their monthly
meeting Tuesday. The new clock will
cost $2,0l5, just $15 more than was
willed the county by the late Josiah
Page for that purpose. It will take
two months to make the clock and
about month to get it installed.
Several representatives of clock
manufacturers were at the meeting on
Tuesday, the clock being purchased
from the E. Howard Clock Co.. It will
have four dials, each 6 feet in diameter
and will be placed in the tower so
that the dials will be just below the
edge of the roof. The dial is Of the
wooden type. Fixtures for lighting
will also be placed, but it is not the
intention to use lights at the time the
bell is installed at least. The bells,
one for the hour and one for the half,
will be 1000 and 500 pound bells, re-
spectively. ,
Just below the dial of the clock q
large brass plate bearing the inscrip.
ton of the donor will be placed. This
accompanies the clock, at no additional
cost. -" ,.a,

SPRING THAWs CAUSE OVERFLOW
The spring thaws have opened most
of the small creeks in this vicinity
and they are causing the river to rise
continually. Below Royalton the wa
ter has overhowed the banks, as the
result of ice foes coming down the
Mississippi river and blocking up the
channels Men have been kept busy
dynamiting the ice to keep it moving.
There is grave fear that the Royalton
bridge may be washed out and every
.precaution is being taken to avoid
this disaster. If the ice moves out
rapidly it is feared that the piers may
be torn out. The same. trouble was ex-
perienced at Motley, but the water
was held back by piling sand bags
along the banks of the river. =
