TRIALOF FORD TAX
Case OPENED HERE
Plaintiff Seeks $55,56O From
State as Alleged Over
Assessment

Action of the Ford Motor company
against the state of North Dakota to
recover SIS, ,580.58, which the plaintiff
alleges was unlawfully assessed as in
come tax in 1921 and 1922, was under
way in Burleigh county district court
Tuesday forenoon.
The Ford company claims the in
come tax assessments made against
it by the state in 1921 and 1922 were
not made in accordance with the 1919
North Dakota income tax law.
E. B. Cox, counsel for the plaintiff,
said that in a similar suit instituted by
the Standard Oil company, the Circuit
Court of Appeals of the eighth district
held that the method used by the
North Dakota tax commissioner was
not provided for by law and that the
comparative property method of al
location rather than the comparative
sales method was proper.
Attorney Is Witness
Gordon Cox, tax attorney for the
state tax commissioner when the tax
was assessed, declared on the witness
stand Tuesday morning that the ratio
between the sales of the Ford COM
pany in North Dakota and the sales
of the company throughout the world
was used in determining the income
tax which was assessed.
T. H. ThoreSen, state tax commits
sioner in 1923, granted the Ford COM
pany's application for the refund but
had no funds with which to make
payment.
An appropriation bill for the pay
ment was passed by both houses OF
the state legislature in 1929 but was
vetoed by Governor George F. Shafer

/ But Rowena would not under any
circumstances accept more than her
proper half. She Immediately set
about dividing it, piece by piece, one
for her and one for Peter.
"I suppose we could sell it for old
silver" he said.
ooh, you'll put it to good use some
day." said Rowena. When you are
rich and famous and have a studio
apartment of your own-hrst thing
you know you'll be giving those fast
supper parties that artists are noted
for-one for you, and one for me
-
why not keep it together in the
box until the trip is over?" he asked.
We won't be giving any fast suppcrs
Oh the trip, at any rate"
You can have the box," she said.
I'D rather divide it if you don't
mind. Then each of us will be re-
/ sponSible for his own share and if it
! is lost or stolen neither of us can
blame the other.-One for you and
one for me-"
AS matter of fact, Rowena was
already planning to pawn her share
of it right there in Spokane. She
had no more than glanced inside the
tat letter from Buddy, but that
glance suficed to tell her that she
needed money. She hoped to get
enough for her share of the silver
to take care of the distant demands
and buy herself new suit as we'll.
She was really getting shabby. Daily
motoring was hard on old clothes.
And how she yearned for the hatter-
ing silver fox packed away in moth
balls way back on Third Avenue!
This really puts us in frightful
Jam, said Peter. Il suppose we can
bluff through the reception and ball
Iall right-we've had plenty of ex-
perience. But I don't see how we
can dodge the bridal suite. And
won't it jeopardize the annulment?
OF course, | can lock myself into the
slttlng-room = but would anybody
believe it?"
Nobody in the world" said Row.
ena cheerfully. WELL after the ball
is over, you'll have to go out alone
for little walk and get lost. Then
you go to some other hotel and reg
lstcr-don't forget to have witnesses |
and stay there all night. You can
meet me here again tomorrow morn
ing. And be sure to get receipt for
your room.-Oh, Peter, don't you
Just adore those kissing Cupids?
Have leiss-I mean a candy"
Il think I'd rather have the kiss"
said Peter boldly. after all,
groom should be allowed to rush in
where a hotel manager dared to
tread"
I'm very particular" said Rowena
firmly; "And I'm developing a vast
partiality for hotel managers"
His mind relieved as to how Row.
ena was going to take it, Peter saw
fsome of humor in the situation and
they made great sport of their pre-
dicament, They laughed over the
howery telegraphic congratulations
and dispatched fippant answers col
lect. They called the Rackruff sales
rooms by long distance telephone to
thank them for the lovely thought
and Mr.. Rack was so pleased that
he had the charges for the call re-
versed. They tossed a coin for the
cocktail shaker which Peter won,
considerably to Rowena's regret, for
she was sure she could have raised
enough on it to make sure of the new
suit which she needed for the recep-
ton that afternoon.

"Of course, you both being famous
characters, authors and artists, all of
our best people will turn out for it,

clubs plan to be there en- maSSe. The
Rackruff dealers are all in sweat
over it and say it's the best break
they've had since the war when the
Army used lot of their machines in
France. They're coming for you at
ree-thirty.-Look. This little floral
offering here came from them
Pretty nice, Ell? We're going to bor-
row it tonight if you don't mind, to
put down behind the orchestra in the
ballroom. Pretty nifty!"
The little floral offering was an
immense ring of yellow roses, with
the words Peter and Rowena"
spelled out on the inner side in scar
let rosebuds.
How marvellous" said Rowena
soberly.
"How unusualr' added Peter.
"And now I'm going to leave you
folks to rest and clean up for the
big doings," said Mr.. Meeker. "If
there's anything you want, you Just
ask for it. If we haven't got it, we'll

Well, guess I'll Just kiss the bride
and be on my way"
"You did kiss the bride,' Peter
reminded him.
"Well, Pm partial to brides and l
give good measure. It's rule of the
house." he said jovially.
And once more Rowena tilted her
owlishly solemn face to be kissed.
When he had gone, and the door
was closed and locked behind him,
Peter looked at Rowena Rowena

emn stupefaction around the flower

"Of all the damn irnpositions-" !"
he began.
But to his surprise, a sudden rip

gled in her throat and burst from
her lips in delighted peals.

I should have warned him. How do

"Oh, I suppose those idiots put it

urally they would try to sell cars at
the expense of our feelings. We
might have known they'd CONNER

"Oh, Peter, isn't it the corkingest
