viii Test Legality of
State Auto Tax Law
Action In Hennepin District
Court Against Secretary
of State.
IAssociated Press pispatch.l


Minneapolis, June 23.-Mandamus
proceedings were started today in
the Hennepfn county district court
against Mike Holm, secretary of
state to determine the constitution
ality of the Minnesota automobile
tax law. This case will settle dis
pute of more than year over the
question of taxing motor cars which
are in storage and not being used.
More than 200 owners Of such ma
chimes are directly interested in the
outcome, they having refused to pay
the tax, which is imposed under the
law passed in 1921.
Papers in the case were fled by
an attorney for the automobile club
in Minneapolis. The action is
brought by Esther Regan, who asks
the court to order Mr.. Holm to is
sue q license for car on-which no
tax was paid in 1921.
According to the complaint, the
car was placed in dead storage and
was not used at all during 1921.
The complaint contends the law is
unconstitutional, because it provides
for taxation of automobiles, which
are not being used and therefore not
contributing to the cost of maintain
ing the roads of the state.
Hearing on the application for a
writ of mandamus is set for June 25

Much of the ground which had been

year planted to crops. Many of the

mute evidences of the conflict.

New Ulm, June 23.-An instance
where public official overTeached
himself in attempting to perform his
duties, occurred in New Ulm, Tues
day, when William Martin of St
Paul, special auto license inspector
with the State Highway department
induced" John Regelin, Summit av-
enue, to deliver the latter's old and
dilapidated REQ car upon an, order. %
The state official came to New
Ulm Monday and Immediately busted
himself looking up auto owners who
had failed to secure 1922 state Ii
cense for operating their machines.
Mr. Regelin was one of the persons
whom he called on, and In spite of
the fact that the Regelin car was
so badly dilapidated that it was un-
at for use as a motor vehicle, he
Martin sold the Regelin car to
Kretch Auto company for 5 and, it
is alleged, pocketed the money with
out making proper entry thereof in
his report book. AS part of the bar
gain, 1t is said, Mr.. Kretch agreed
to take the inspector over to Searles
Wednesday morning, without charge.
Mr.. Kretsch informed Chief of
Police Alvin Harmening that Martin
had sold him the car, admonishing
him not to mention anything about
this transaction to Chief Harmening.
Suspecting something irregular in
Martins methods, Harmening drove
over to Searles and brought the man
back to New Ulm.
. Wednesday evening, Martin was
questioned by the authorities and
finally admitted he made a mistake"
in his actions relative to the Rege-
lin car. He paid back to Mr.. Kretsch
the amount which the latter had Civ
en- Martin for the Regelin machine
and willingly paid all expenses in
connection with his "sojourn" in

last evening when he talked TO the
county attorney and this the wit
ness readily admitted and then
when asked by counsel as to where
he had obtained the liquor, he ans

in the court room when that state
ment was made and those who had
found the trial beginning to lag In

of the proceedings.

RAIDS NEAR JACKSON
Authorities Seized What Is Reiiev-
ed to be Moonshine

Jackson. June 24.-Marshai J. II.
Nagel and Deputy Sheriff NJ. B. Dunn
believe in the old adage that it is
the early bird who catches the
worms. But in this instance, howev
er, it was early officers who caught
the moonshiners, and fast asleep at
that.
The officers have known f0r some
time that there was a still in opera
ton on Thomas hill and have been
doing some investigating Of late to
learn the identity of the offenders.
o'clock Marshal Nagel and Deputy
Sheriff Dunn, armed with search
warrants, invaded the premises q;
Fred Anderson where they found
Anderson and John Nangle both
sound asleep. Three quarts oc liquor
were found in the house, while three
more quarts Of liquor were seized in
a nearby shed which also contained
a medium sized still.
+ Deputy Sheriff Dunn has keen
sense of smell and it was not long
after he reached the place before he
detected the odor of fermented mash
on the clear air of the Sabbath morn
ing. A search was made of the
premises but without success. The
officers hooked into every room and
Granny for the stuff which Mr..
Dunn's nose told him was on the
place. They were finally rewarded
with the discovery of barrel snugly
hidden away under a large slump of
gooseberry bushes which was two
thirds full of fermented corn mash.
The officers disposed of their find by
dumping the contents of the barrel
on the ground. The six quarts of liq
uor were taken to the county Jail and
stored away as evidence.
Anderson and Nangle were ar
raigned Before Justice ]. L. Damn
Monday morning. who bound them
over 10 the grand jury. Anderson's
bail was set at $500 while Nangle
who had been arrested before on a
similar charge, had his bail fixed at
1,000. Both men secured the neces
sary bonds and are now at liberty
again pending the action of the
grand jury.

ship was arrested late Monday af-
ternoon on charge of having a
quantity Of dandelion wine in his
possession He was brought before

jury appears a certainty If the Off
GERS succeed in capturing mapy more

ors were excused at the last term of

cations are that they may be called
