COURT R ULES
LAW IS VOID
State Tax on Reserve Title to
Mineral Lands Is Uncon.
stitutiOnal

Decision of the supreme court
that the state TAX on reserve title to
mineral lands is unconstitutional will
not affect the states income. it was
said here today.
The tax was contained in a law
enacted in 1923 and was designed to
tax companies which had sold land
under q deed which reserved to the
seller the right to any minerals
which might thereafter be discovered
beneath the property.
The principa. holder OF such min
eral reserve titles is the :. rthern
Pacific Railroad company. which
sold hundreds Of thousands of acres
with this proviso.
Holders Of mineral reserve rights
refused to pay the flat tax of 3 cents
an acre fixed by law. and the matter
has since been in the courts. The
only loss to the state is the revenue
It might have obtained if the law
had been upheld.
The supreme court held the law
unconstitutional because it levied a
flat tax on suck mineral reserve
+. holdings without any assessment to
show the value Of the property. To
Be legal it would be necessary to fix
. value for the minerals under any
property to which anyone held a
mineral reserve title. and to tax the
minerals in accordance with their
value.
The decision reversed two cases
which had been appealed from the
Burleieh county district court. one
bv the Northern Pacifi railroad and
one by the Northwestern Improve
Ynent con1panv.

TAX CASE SETTLED
Government Claim Of 91 .OOO. GOO Against Charlie Chaplin ComprO- missed Satisfactory to Roth.

Washington. Feb. 9 CUP) - The governments claim against Charles Chaplin, famous film comedian, for more than S1,O0O,O0O back taxes has been settled out of court.
 The internal, revenue bureau of the treasury announced today that the movie star and government at torneys had compromised the amount involved, satisfactory to both sides.
 Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair has approved the settlement. it was stated.
 Chaplin became entangled with the governments tax collection officials last year. just as he was having diffi- culties with his wife. Lita Gray Chaplin. The government attached his bank account to assure payment of the back taxes.
 Officials said the compromise settlement was negotiated in San Francisco. They refused to divulge dstails.

sams purpose. as has been done in previous years. Is that what you consider efficiency?
 You have been quoted as saying I failed to bring in reports. What reports do you refer to! Is it because I failed to report the time on J. Willie Mills truck when it was haul ing wood blocks from tho city yard to your brick yard? h it because I failed to report that MT. Battey was frequently not on the job and the men were working without fore man?
 You also refer to prolonged vaca- tions. assume you mean the time l attended the Road Builders conven- ton at Cle'eland. and gained much valuable knowledge-at my own ex- pense. Do you realize that most of the cities pay the expenses of their superintendents under these con- ditions. and in fact the City of New Britain pays for the conventions at- tended by the chief of police. the chief of the fire department. the city engineer. the superintendent of schools, the superintendent of health and others?
 Much as dislike the publicity that comes with this action. I feel obliged to protest against the attack on my reputation as a road builder and street superintendent. In the past 20 years have worked super vising road construction for the fed cral government and the state gov ernment, and for some of the lead ing contractors Of the state.

CHANCES l.6 THAT L|NDY WILL.CRASH
HE Flown Spirit of St. Louis N,OM Miles
SUFFERED NO ACCIDENT
Air Statistics Prove Odds One-tO- Four That the Youthful F1ier Win Escape Alive If He Is Forced Down.

New York, Feb. g (uP)-The chances were roughly one-to-six that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh would crash before be completed his good will tour of Latin America. For days and weeks. while the 26- year-old tlier hoped from capital to capital in the Central American re- publics. flying over unfamiliar and sometimes unexplored territory, mill lions of persons back home watched his steady progress with anxiety. Over 4O,OOO Niles
 But when Lindbergh climbed out of the cockpit at Havana complet- ing his S.235-mile tour. he had flown a total of more than 10000 miles in the Spirit of St. Louis without the slightest accident.
 Figures obtained by the United Press today from statistics of the air information division of the de- partment of commerce revealed that Lindbergh stood only . six-to-one chance of finishing the tour without wrecking his famous plane and pos sibly injuring or killing himself.
 The figures revealed further that if by chance the fiier had crashed, the odds would have been one-to- four that he never would have es- capped alive.
 He wonid have stood less than a one-to-three chance of escaping with injuries from which he could re- cover.
 But on the other hand, Lind bergh would have had more than a one-to-three chance of emerging from the crash unscathed.
 If something had gone wrong with his plane, in two cases out of three it would have been trouble with the motor. Weaknesses in plane structure. which result in the crump- ling of a wing or the snapping of a control wire or brace. are only half as frequent as stalled engines.

 Surveys by the commerce depart 1 ment in the last year show that there is one fatality in the ranks of licensed pilots for each 1.o26,363 miles of flying. But only one crash in four is fatal to the pilot. l Otu of 1S5 crashes in one period covered by the government surveys 42 pilots were killed. 13 were seri- ously injured, 3S suffered minor in. 1 juries and 62 escaped injury entirely The causes of the 165 accidents were. in 23 cases, weaknesses in the planes structure: in fl cases it wal motor trouble. and in the remaining ones the blame was distributed among the pilots. unsafe landing fields and unknown factors.
