NOT FATAL SAYS COURT
Taxes Levied "GIaringIy Irregular
But Not Unconstitutional"

st. Paul-The Minnesota automobile
tax law under the Babcock amendment
was declared constitutional in de.
cision handed down by the Minnesota
Supreme Court.
The court declared that while there
are glaring irregularities in the taxes
paid by automobile owners, the respon.
sibility for the fairness, justice of a
tax measure rests upon the Legisla-
ture, and the court may not declare a
measure invalid merely because it
does not come up to their conception
of proper method of taxation"
The case was given in the case of
Charles N. Dohs of st. Paul against
Mike Holm, secretary of state and
registrar of motor vehicles. On April
30, 1921, Mr.. Dohs purchased sec.
ond-hand car for $2.350. When he ap.
piled for license in May, the factory
list price of the car purchased was
$500, upon which amount he paid a
per cent tax under protest.

FARMING IN ENGLAND BETTER
Farming in England Becomes Better
Every Year.

London.-"Many men who ten years
ago were farm laborers now drive
their own motor cars"
That sounds like an extract from a
story about California or some other
American state where farmers some
times make lot of money. But it
isn't. 1t is taken from report of the
big profits made in Hampshire, Kent,
Lincolnshire and a few other counties
of this old land by farmers who raise
fruits and particularly Strawberries.
Such tales are not often heard in
England. English farmers, as rule,
take more delight in telling tales Of
woe than of we'll being.
Giving details of this agricultural
prosperity, the report says: "In one
case a man cut up field Of Is acres
in acre plots and offered it to the
laborers Of the parish. He had ar
ranged the payments to extend over
ten years, but nine of the Is purch-
asers paid for it on the spot. Within
four years all the rest paid up. One
of them during the last three years
had sold 1000 pounds forth of straw
berries from his one acre plot.
"It is not to Strawberries alone that
such men turn their attention. They
make good profits out of plums, apples,
cherries, gooseberries and currants."

TO TAKE OVER BARGE LINES
st. Louis to Twin City Fleet Planned
as GoItra Breaks Contract.

Washington-The federal govern.
ment is expected to undertake imme.
diate operation of its own fleet on the
upper Mississippi from st. Louis to
the Twin Cities, as result of develop.
ments in the negotiations with Col.
Edwin F. Goltra if st. Louis.
The War department informed
Colonel Goltra that he must complete
contracts for 10 barges and four tow.
boats for use on the Mississippi or
that the government would undertake
to operate the line. Advices from St.
Louis were that Colonel Gotlra would
ignore the ultimatum.
The government plans to put eight
barges and two tow boats into oper.
alton at once. At first, it is intended
to operate the line as far north as
Davenport, Iowa, and later to extend
1t to the Twin Cities.

TROOPS SHOULD NOT BE USED
Gompers Issued an Emphatic Warning
Against Use of Troops.


Washington.-The country is drift
ing into a state of responsibility and
the situation resulting from the rail
and coal strike is the gravest concern
in every quarter, Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, declared.
Gompers issued an emphatic warm
ing against the use Of troops in the
coal strike, declaring this was no time
for the "rattling of sabers or the
mailed fist"
The veteran labor leader predicted
failure Of President Harding's plans
to resume operations at the mines.
The striking miners, he said, will
not dig coal under such a plan, and
non-union miners Or strikers cannot
be obtained in sufficient numbers to
man any considerable number Of
mines. Gompers sharply attacked the
administration charging there was a
close bond of sympathy revealed in
the statement of government officials
and employers.
Striking at the presidents state
ment hat the mining Of coal was the
greatest need Of the country today,
Gompers asserted that the nation
could not put anything ahead Of JUS
tice.

INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR
Barring Bad Weather, Harvest Viii
Beat Last Years Record.

St. Paul-Barring radical climatic
reversals in the next ten days or two
weeks, the Northwest will harvest a
grain crop considerably in excess OF
last years and in many sections bid.
ding fair to rank with bumper produc.
tions.
The most favorable outlook in re.
cent years is from representative sec.
tions throughout Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, and Montana.
Black rust is reported as "virulent"
in only one section-in North Dakota
in the Fargo territory-and the minor
showing of the rust in other sections
is declared to have no material effect
on the grain, unless weather favorable
to its development persists from now
until harvest.
Already the binders are moving into
the wheat fields, and only in isolated
sections are there predictions for a
less than average crop. It is recog
nized, generally, of course, that with
harvest still two weeks away in many
sections, and nearly six weeks distant
in parts Of Montana, adverse weather
conditions could raise havoc.

''The delay in settling the coal strike

In answer to the question as to
what he thought of the administra-

to an end Pulliam declared:
"Washington has been sitting back
too long trying to satisfy both sides.
The situation now demands that dras.
tic steps be taken at once or this
country will suffer greatly from the

FIGHT BREAKS ON
SENIORITY RIGHTS
Union Chiefs Forecast Bitter
Struggle as Truce Parley
Ends.

Minneapolis - Negotiations which
had reached stage indicating that
the shipments strike in the Northwest
would end were broken off when R. A.
Henning, representing the men, an.
nounced that his district would re.
main in the fight until a national
agreement had been reached.
Conferences which began July 6, one
week after the men left the shops,
failed of their object because of one
point. That was the reported refusal
of Eastern roads to restore seniority
rights to striking shopmen in the
event that they returned to work.
It was stated at strike headquarters
that all ether differences could have
been settled across table with the
individual roads, but the ultimatum in
the East against restoring seniority
was the rock upon which the North.
west peace plan was wrecked. Strike
leaders declared that the failure OF
an agreement under this plan meant a
bitter fight.
Little hope was held out at strike
headquarters that the negotiations
could be reopened with any expecta.
tion Of an agreement.
Following the refusal of the strike
leaders to accept the terms of the set.
tlement, two more Twin City roads
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific, issued ultimatums fixing dates
when the men must return to work
without forfeiting seniority and pen.
sion rights.

The dwelling house of Mrs. Wayne

fire about $50 o'clock Wednesday
evening. The blaze. starting from
the roof, thought to have been caus-
ed by burning SCOT, enabled the
neighbors to save some OF the con-

haps the larger portion of the con-

ing.
The dwelling was two-story
building, comparatively new and one
of the best farm homes on the North
side OF the river. Mrs. Stevens did
not know of the fire until called ov-
er the phone by neighbor, and sucn
headway had been attained as to
make saving of the building utterly
impossible.
The property was partially insur-
ed, we understand.
