HOOVER To DROP
INQUIRY INTO

In the meantime, however. the
Department Of Justice will continue
its investigation, under the "crini.
nal conspiracy" laws until President
Harding has an opportunity to con.
slider the evidence already as
sembled by Acting Attorney Gen.

Secretary Hoover and other Off
Gals of his department are said to

bate that has broken out between
the national committees OF the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
over the import duty on sugar
feeling that It viii be difficult to
find who is responsible for recent
increases in prices while this argu-
ment is in progress.
Hoover has requested Stephen B.

NEW DANCE LAW
At TER JUNE FIRST.
NO LIQUOR ALLOWED WITHIN
1000 FEET OF DANCE HALL.

Planning and executing a public
dance will be more than the secur-
ing of a suitable floor and hiring
a competent orchestra, after the
first of June, for then the new law
regulating public dances goes into
effect. This law was recently
passed by the state legislature, and
it gives far more drastic regulation
of public dances than anything be-
fore attempted.
Toe long to quote in full, brief
synopsis Of the salient points of the
law will be interesting. A public
dancing place, within the meaning
of this act, is any room, place OF
space open to public patronage
where dancing is carried on, and to
which an admission charge is made,
or fee charged for dancing. Be-
fore any public dance is given, the
person or persons in charge must
first secure a permit. This permit
must be secured from the govern
ing body of the municipality if in
an incorporated village or city. and
from the township board or county
board under other circumstances.
Strict regulations regarding the con-
dition of the building in which the
dance is to be held, it's cleanliness,
lighting and other details are in
Guided before the permit can be
issued. "its.f- Il
Sale of Liquor.
Sale of intoxicating liquor any
where within 1000 feet of the
place where the dance is held, or
the giving of it away by any per-
son, or the drinking of it by any
person makes the holders of the per-
nit liable, if this action is brought
to his or her knowledge. In every
case, where a public dance is held,
a police officer shall be present, and
shall have his fees paid before the
dance begins. He is appointed by
the body that grants the license,
but paid by the party giving the
dance.
Girls or boys under the age of
16 may not attend public dances un-
less accompanied by parent or
guardian, and young people over 16,
but under Is years. of age, must
have with them written consent of
parent or guardian, unless accom-
panied by that chaperone. So
called moonlight dances" are for
hidden under the terms of this
law, which forbids dimming or ex-
tinquishing lights while the dance
is in progress. II :

than in other places which are MAX
ing necessary improvements and
that the future would care for the
payments.
AS the money would have to be
raised by bond issue, it is the
opinion Of not few that the coun-
ell should have submitted the affair
to vote Of the people in the shape
of an election for bonding and that
the expression at that time would
more fittingly express the general
opinion of the taxpayers as whole.
The meeting was not as evpres-
sive of general opinion as vote
on the matter would be but the
council was of the impression that
sentiment in regard to the matter
would be obtained by this means as
vane to somewhat indicate how
the wind was blowing on the sub
ject of bond issues in general and
this oneSAin particular.
The columns of the Miner are
open to anyone wishing to air his
views on the matter and we hope
some will do so and argue their
side either for or against.

s16.4 AUTO TAX
AVERAGE FOR 1928.
CUT OF MORE THAN $I.so FROM
AGREED $1s AVERAGE TAX
RESULTS.

Every 81 of the average motor
vehicle tax in Minnesota gives the
owner the use of more than $780,
900 of trunk highway betterments.
Motor vehicle taxes will average
1894. Class averages will be
1882 on 378,552 passenger auto
mobiles, 1888 on $47,221 trucks
and 1884 on 800 commercial buses.
Foregoing figures are based upon
the new motor vehicle tax rates
adopted recently by the legislature
and effective next year, together
with estimates by C. M. Spear, st.
Paul., statistician to the legislative
committees. The new car and truck
rates with added revenues from
trailers, motorcycles, dealers and
chauffeurs' licenses and so forth are
expected to produce $7,111 900 for
good roads next year.
New depreciation allowances of
10 per cent year on all classes,
instead of rs per cent after three
and so per cent after 5 years, and
the new list price basis meant re-
auctions of 100000 and necessitat-
ed retention of the $12 minimum
and advance to 2A per cent of the
rate on higher priced cars. Pas
senger cars are to be taxed 2&
per cent with minimums of Si2 on
cars weighing 1000 pounds or less
and SIS on heavier cars. Trucks
take the same rate with minimums
ranging from SIS to $135. In the
commercial or hire vehicle classes,
both buses and trucks pay at the
rate of 10 per cent, with minimums
of $3.50 on those with Is or less
seats and $3.50 on those with more
than Is seats, and trucks the regu-
lar truck minimums.
Because of the 100000 or more
added to the good roads fund by
every dollar of tax levied on each
automobile and truck, friends of
the highway program questioned
whether the interests of car owners
would not be better served by rails
ing the average to the agreed $18
figure. T hey contend thai the
money now being paid in good
roads taxes by car owners is less
than would go for more gasoline,
tires and repairs except for the bet
ter roads.

HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS PLAY.
"cOME OUT OF THE KITCHEN
TO BE GIVEN NEXT FRIDAY.

This delightful three-act comedy
will be presented by the Senior class
of. 1928. The play deals with an
aristocratic Virginia family, the
Dangerfelds, and displays with un-
usual sagacity the courage with
which the young Dangerfields face
a both trying and difficult situation.
1t is difficult to decide which one
of the characters is the best, be-
cause they all have such dron and
unusual experiences which bring out
their distinctive characteristics.
Coal-black Mandy! Who could re-
sist her kind, "mah lii lady" or
"honey chile? You love ner for
her faithfulness to the Dangerfelds.
You enjoy her because of her super
stitions-to say nothing about her
dimensions.
Mrs. Falkener is a perfect would
be-aristocrat" but as far as calling
her a lady-well! She is fond of
.voicing her opinions as often as cir
cumstances permit. Her daughter,
Cora, isn't particularly pleased to
have her mother express her opin-
ions so freely; yet, in spite of all
this, she tries to please her. except
when it comes to the choice of a
lover.
Olivia seems to transform the
kitchen for even Weeks is willing to
turn the ice cream freezer, nor is
he the only man who seems to
have a perfectly plausible reason
for coming to the kitchen. Crane,
the Yankee millionaire, appears to
find frequent interviews with the
cook necessary.
Charles, Olivia's youngest brother,
merry, spirited boy of seventeen
takes the role of boy of all err
rands and it is in the kitchen that
he confides to the others that he
would ''like to poison Tucker" the
Yankees guest, though he can still
whistle as he shines fuckers boots.
The entire cast of characters is
being taken by the following seniors.

MASS MEETING
WELL ATTENDED.
CITIZENS PACK THE CITY HALL
TO TALK OVER IMPROVE
MENTS FOR CITY.

A mass meeting of citizens called
by the City Council to discuss con-
templated public improvements was
held Wednesday evening at the
city hall and was attended by a
capacity house. The matter was
quite thoroughly discussed and the
opinions were about equally divided
for and against improvements at
this time.
Some of the tax payers present
stressed the fact shat taxes were
high enough at present and that
while paving of streets, new city
hall and detention hospital were
needed, the matter should lay for a
year or more to see how affairs
would shape themselves. Others
again were in favor of making all
needed improvements at this or any
other time on the theory that taxes
while high, were not any higher
