PARENTS SEEK
GIRLS RETURN
FROM. MANDAN

A determined fight by the parents
of minor Minot girl who has been
committed to the state training
school at Mandan on charge of de-
linquency. to release the girl from
that institution, has been carried to
the North Dakota supreme court.
The effort on the part of parents
of the girl to bring about her re-
lease originally was launched in Mi
not. after the minor had been Or
dered committed by Judge John c..
Lowe, when counsel for the parents
presented to Judge Lowe a petition
for writ of habeas corpus for the
girls release. which was refused.
Counsel for the parents then went
to the supreme court with petit
ton for writ of habeas corpus
and for writ of certiorari with the
result that Chief Justice A. M. Chris
Hanson has issued an order to show
cause, directed to Sheriff A. S. Spich-
er of Minot and w. F. McClelland,
superintendent of the State training
school returnable on April z, why a
writ of habeas corpus should not be
issued, by virtue whereof the girl
would be released from -imprison-
ment and restraint
The defendants are further di-
rected, in the order to show cause,
the reason and the time of the i'm
prisonment and detention Of the girl.
1t is the contention of the peti-
TONER for the writ, as set forth in
the legal documents, that the court
in committing the girl to the train
ing school acted in excess Of jurisdic-
ton and also among other things
that the girl is entitled to trial by
a jury in the county where it is
claimed any alleged otfenses have
taken place.

The proposed reduction on the tax

considerably sharper than that grant

Of approximately 40 per cent of the

man Of the House committee, who

Congress, has now been won over

campaign in favor OF reduction
OF surtaX rates to this figure is ia
be carried on this summer. This will
be done under the guise of mission
airy work for tax reform" rather
than as a straight campaign for re-
duced surtaXeS.
Every effort will be made, when
the Congress reassembles,. to get
quick action on this issue of reduced
SurtaXes.
This will be urged as desirable
in order that the new rates may be
made effective before the next as
sessment is due.
A further reason will be that ac-
ton on the revenue measure is de-
sired before developments that may
reasonably be expected during the
session have aroused animosities
that might endanger its chances of
passage. p
Once the revenue bill, with its
cut in the tax on big incomes, is
out of the way, a deadlocked Con-
gress won't much matter. For that
is the dominating domestic issue
on the administration slate.

Patrolman Charles Reynolds is re-

The change in the police depart

"Rowdyism on the streets, drink

NEW TAX BILL
WILL NOT BEAR
MELONS NAME
Measure To Be Given New
Dress Before Introduced
in Congress Again
BY HARRY e. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

Washington, April 3.-The mel
lon tax plan, providing sharp re-
auctions in surtaX rates on incomes
of 100000 and over, is to be given
| a new dress and new name before
| 1t is introduced again in Congress.
In all essentials it will still be
the tax child of Melons dreams
which he sought in vain to have
adopted and legitimatized by the
last Congress.
But the Mellon paternity, which
was stressed when the bill was pre-
viously before Congress, will be
evaded, if not actually disclaimed.
Although Congress is not in ses-
sion, preliminary steps for the shap-
ing of the new tax measure will be
taken during the summer by men,
bers of the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House and Finance Com
mittee of the Senate
Recognizing that opposition to the
original mellon" bill was furthe red
by the fact that it originated with
the secretary of treasury rather than
with Congress-, and that the secretary
would benefit personally thereby by
some hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, administration leaders are
agreed that the new bill must bear.
on its face at least, due evidence Of
it's congressional origin.
Wherefore, we will have not the
mellon" bill again, but the "Smoot-
Green" bill, with the Mellon theories
present but cloaked under a congress
sional patronymic
The mark at which the tax re-
ductionists are setting their sights
is maximum surtax rate of rs per
cent.
The present law established sur
taxes running to 40 per cent on in
comes over 100000, as against 60
