Federal Exemptions
To N. ID. Tax Studied

A survey Of all federal agencies
In the state to determine which en-
ployes will be eligible to pay the state
income tax is being made by r. "
Hartl. income tax deputy in the state
tax commissioners office.
Hartl obtained an opinion from At
torney General p. O. Satire to the
effect that the source Of their income
will govern whether employees Of sew
eral quasi-federal agencies will have
to pay the state income tax.
While some OF the employees get
their Jobs through federal agencies,
It was explained, the salaries are paid
through state or private funds. For
instance, he said, federal government
grants to the state highway depart
ment go into fund with state monies
and are paid out through county
warrants which are liable to state
income tax laws.
Hartl asked specifically regarding
the FERA, Hole, national re-em-
ployment service. reconstruction H.
nance corporation and federal farm
loan associations.
Any worker receiving q national
treasury check IS not subject to the
tax but II payment Is made through
private or state checks, the employe
will be liable for payment Of state
income taxes, Hartl said.

LARGE CROWDS SEE
ELKS CIRCUS HERE
Well Balanced Performance Is
Fully Up to Standard Set
In Past Years

Having played to capacity cr0wdS
on Thursday and Friday nights, the
ElkS annual circus packed 'em in"
Saturday afternoon for the childrens
matinee, one Of the high spots in this
annual contribution to Bismarck'S
amusement.
The same show was presented for
the children which made such pro-
nounced hit at the opening Thurs
day and again Friday night It will
be given nightly until Thursday next
week, except Sunday.
Meanwhile. the performers pre-
pared to give special presentation
at Bismarck's two hospitals ON Mon
day afternoon. Action was taken by
the Elks committee In charge in an
effort to brighten the lives Of those
in the hospitals who are prevented
by their physical condition from at
tending regular performance in the
World War Memorial building.
Such acts as can be presented in q
relatively small space will be taken to
the hospitals, including the clowns,
the animal acts, some OF the acrobats.
Herberta Beeson, tight-wirc dancer
and the jolly Tars on the bounding
rope.
In any review Of the show it is dif-
ficult to pick q high spot, for each act
is different and superb in its way.
For breath-taking daring, Kora and
the slide for life vie for top honorS
with the japanese acrobat who stands
on his head on the flying trapeze
Each stunt causes the spectator to
wonder at the skill which q human
being can acquire.
Herberta Beeson on the tight wire
Is a poem In grace and agility and
the two performers on the bounding
rope give q very entertaining per-
Torrance. The tumbling acts also are
unusually good.
Although the trained dogs are as
clever as such animals usually are,
top honorS in this class must 60 to
the trained bears. Bruin Is so grace
fully clumsy-or clumsily graceful
that he makes q hit from the time he
first ambles out on the stage. His
popularity Is undimmed by the skill
with which he goes through his tricks.
The clown section Is fully up to the
high standard set by Elks circuses in
the past. Some Of their gags are
masterpieces Of drollery, the best OF
the lot probably being the Hindu
magician trick. which must be seen
to be appreciated.
All in all, the circus is not only q
high class entertainment. 1t is I'M
usually we'll balanced.
