WINE EXPERT SAYS BRITISH
 TASTE LEANS TO COCKTAILS

LONDON. Jan g, (AP)-The British palate for vintage wines is being strangled by the cigarette and cocktail craze according to London wine ex- pert. who also finds that steady drinking of whs- key will ruin any palate for the mellow products of France, Spain and Portugal.
 In this connection of the leading trade pub cations that the consumption of clarets of all grades "is not tithe of what it 20 years ago."
 "Claret is almost . thing of the past" . wine merchant declared. land should imagine that 1t is drunk by only a small portion of those who did so before the It's place has been usurped by whiskey and soda. Young men now adays do not know really good wine when 1t is given to them They prefer the inevitable small Scotch and splash. though it usually costs them more.
 More people. including women. now drink whis- key and sodas than before in my memory. More bottles of whiskey are sold at the present price of 12 shillings pence than in the days when 1t could be bought for 1 shillings pence"

ROYALTY TAX
FIGHT NOW ON.
U. s. SUPREME COURT LISTENS
TO ARGUMENTS IN OP-
POSITION TO TAX.

Charles Evans Hughes, formerly
justice and secretary of state is
leading the fight before the u. s.
Supreme Court being waged by rs
mining companies and individuals
who refused to pay the royalty tax
of 6 per cent imposed by the state
of Minnesota on the industry. The
hearing is based on the tax placed in
1928 when the law was made oper.
ative. The companies contend that
the law is unconstitutional. The
tax in 1923 totaled $393,986 and
for 1924 it is expected to be $275,.
600.
The iron ore industry of the state
is conducted in 124 mines all OF
which are operated under leases
royalty or other arrangements, ex
cepting four which are operated BY
the owners, it was revealed. 1t wa:
estimated by Mr.. Hughes that In
1923 when the royalty tax law wa!
enacted that $1,000, 900 in royal
ties was paid. He stated that there
are 1900, 100000 tons of ore in the
state, all of which except about one
third being subject to the tax if ths
law is held valid and remains in
force until the ore is mined.
The principal attack on the Law
was based on the contentious that
it taxed royalties from leases 70,
mining iron ore while other lane
leases were not subjected to a SINH
lar tax. Counsel for the appellants
insisted that not only was it discrim
inatory in this respect, but also
they asserted, that it was a double
tax imposed upon some owners OF
Land and not upon others. In sup
port Of this they insisted that the
owner of ore land who leased it not
only paid an adj valorem tax on the
land and its content, but also is re-
quired to pay royalty tax whereas
the owner Of lands who mined the
ore himself pays ad valorem tax on
land and its mineral content without
having TO pay royalty tax.
