LICENSING OF
TENT SHOWSIS
LEFT TOCITIES
Attorney General Shafer Re.
verses Previous Opinion
on the Subject

[ Reversing q previous opinion OF his
office on the subject, Attorney Gene.
raj George Shafcr has held that the
licensing and control of travelling
tent shows. carnivals and circuses lies
in the hands of local municipal
officers rather than in the law en-.
f0rcement division Of his office.
The opinion was given in response
to request by the Anne rican Legion
post Of the city Of Grafton for in
formation on the subject.
Reviewing the provisions of the
laws relating to the control Of thea
ters and theatcr operators the Opin-
ion holds that it was the intention
OF the legislature in passing exist
ing licensing laws to license the
person operating a theater or motion
picture house and the place, the
particular building in which it was to
be held.
Not Contemplated
ut is not likely that tent show
or a travelling show renting build
ing but for a short period, or shows
which provide their own shelter. were
contemplated at the time the act
was passed. the opinion holds.
Otherwise the legislature would
have used much broader language
than 'theater' and moving picture
show
ut is my opinion that the act is
not broad enough to deprive cities
and incorporated villages Of the right
to fix by ordinance the terms and
under which tent shows,
travelling shows and all such amusc-
ment ventures which desire to, may
operate within their limits for
short period Of time.
"Thc evident intent Of tho lcgis-s
laturc, as I view this act. was to
license the place where thcatcrs and
moving picture shows are conducted
and did not contemplate licensing
The party operating the place. except
IN conjunction with the license for

ing picture or thcater is operated.
Where there is no particular place
designated for the operation of such

ssucd by this department except for

PROPOSAL NOT
TO RAISE TAX
TO 3 CEN rs
misleading Statements Being
Used to Defeat 2.Ccnt Tax,
Proponents Say

The proposed two cent gas tax bill
Will not increase the present one
cent tax law to three cents according
10 an opinion rendered by the office
OF Attorney General Geo. Shafef. The
opinion was rendered to Gov. A. G.
Sorlie at his request and for MS in
formation. During the past few
weeks the governor has received a
number of inquiries from citizens
asking this question. II seems that
certain parties interested in defeat
ing the proposed law have been busy
circulating statements alleging that
attorneys have examined the propos-
Cd measure and claim that it raises
the tax to three cents by adding two
cents to the present one cent gas tax.
The opinion given in full below CON
clusivcly refutes these erroneous and
misleading c0ntcntionS
Hon. A. q. Sorlic, Governor,
Bismarck, North Dakota.
Dear Sir:
In your favor Of May llth, address
Cd to Mr. Shafcr. Attorney General,
you have asked whether or not the
proposed initiated law fixing tax
OF two cents per gallon on gasoline
will work repeal of the old one cent
tax statute, or If the two will be
concurrent, thus resulting in three
The, i"'tiat'4 ''rw in Section 10
"All acts or parts Of acts in con
flict with the provisions Of this act
arc hereby repealed"
Section II, Chapter 81. Session
Laws 1923, which is the old one cent
tax law, provides:
"All taxes imposed under the pro-
visions Of this act ,xon gasoline
shal be in lieu of Il othcr state or
local taxes upon such product
1t is evident from the last quoted
section that the intention Of the Icy
islaturc was such that it would not
have enacted the one cent tax except
Tor the inclusion therein Of said Sec
ton IL. For that reason such sec
ton is so coupled with the entire
chapter that its repeal must work a
repeal of the entire chapter. 1t is,
Of course, evident that there is con.
flict between Section IL. Chapter 31l
Session Laws 1928, and proposed in
itiatcd measure.
It is, therefore, the opinion Of this
office that if the proposed initiated
measure is enacted into Il law it will
effect repeal Of the one cent tax up
on gasoline, leaving but two cent
tax thereon.
Very truly yours,
John Thorpe,
Assistant Attorney General. |

SUPREME COURT

At the opening of court, Tuesday
morning, Maurice p. Adams of Can
aan pleaded nolo to two indictments,
one for assault and battery upon his
daughter and the other for killing
sheep.
The next case taken up for trial
was State VS.. Marion Clark OF ROCK
wood on the charge OF adultery with
one John Swedberg of lockwood.
Mrs. Mary Swedberg of lockwood
was the first witness for the State
and testified that her husband owned
and occupied camp on Brassua
township and that becoming suspi-
cious that all was not right at the
camp, she went to the camp on
Thanksgiving evening in company
with Mrs. Belle Smart of lockwood.
When they came to the woods road
that led to the camp, she saw Mrs.
Clark's car parked by the side OF the
road. They went to the camp and
after knocking, opened the door and
found her husband and the respon-
dent in compromising condition.
Mrs. Belle Smart, the second wit
ness, was willing to talk upon the
stand and tell things just as they
were. She was unusually emphatic
in her testimony and was a most
, roborated the testimony of Mrs.
Swedberg in nearly all the details.
Mrs. Clark, who is a registered
guide and spends a large part of her
time in the woods, took the stand
in her own defense. She claimed
that 1t is the woods custom to stop
at any camp when night comes and
when she went to the Smedburg
camp there was no one there. She
entered, got her supper and retired
when Smedburg arrived later and
it was decided that she should sleep
in the bunk and that he should sleep
on the floor and that was the condi-
ton of affairs when Mrs. Smedburg
and Mrs. Smart arrived. The jury
were out but 30 minutes and return
ed verdict of guilty.
The next case was State VS.. George
Murphy of Bog Brook Township,
who was indicted for breaking, en-
tering and larceny from the camp
of Marshall p. Viles. III. J. Phillips
OF Skowhegan was appointed by the
court to defend Murphy. Mr.. Viles,
the first witness for the state, testi-
fled that he and his party were at
his camp early In November on q
hunting trip. He said that when

Miller, guide who was camping
nearby. leaving the food on the camp
table and giving the key to Mr.. Mil
. Ter with permission to occupy the
camp If he desired. Herbert Miller
the second witness, whose home is
In Wells Beach, said that he was q
guide in the hunting season. He
testified that he locked the camr
shortly after the Viles party left and
went hunting and that returning
later he found the lock broken and
some food stolen.
After some search he found the
tracks of some person and followed
i them for about two miles until he
came within sight of the respondent
He did not try to stop him but went
back to camp as it was getting late
The only witness for the defense
was Murphy himself, who testified
that he was not in that section and
did not commit the act. The case
was given to the jury at o'clock
who after being out one hour re.
ported a disagreement but was or.
dered to reconsider by Judge Bas.
