TruckerCase
Continued;To
Try Phases
ACTION TO DETERMINE
RIGHTS OF CLASS 7
TRUCKS

The case of the State of Min
nesota against Earl Bliss, which
has aroused considerable interest
among members of cooperative
associations and truckers was
continued Wednesday.
Bliss was arrested April 80 on
the complaint of Walter R. Pal
mer, an independent trucker, who
charged that he was transporting
goods other than farm and agri-
cultural products in a truck bear
ing a class T license. Bliss is
manager of the Redwood Coop
erative Shipping association.
The case has twice been con-
tinued and was scheduled for
hearing before Judge T. F. Reed
Jr. Wednesday morning. 1t was
postponed, however, when D. B.
Rumble Of st. Paul, attorney for
the shipping association, came
here to confer with George A.
Barnes, county attorney.
It was decided that the case
now pending would be dropped
and three separate phases of the
rights or liabilities of co-opera-
tive associations transporting
goods with T license trucks would
be tried.
1t appears that paramount in
terest in the case is in the issue
to determine definitely the scope
of operations of individuals or as
Sociations transporting farm
goods with T license machines.
The points particularly invol-
we'd will be which individuals
qualify as farmers and what
goods are farm or agricultural
products or goods enroute to
farms. The judge will also be as
ed to decide the qualifications of
bona fide members of co-opera-
tive shipping associations. The
cases will probably be heard soon.

Railroad Tax
Boost Opposed
by Lions,Club
HOLMBERG ELECTED TO
CLUB PRESIDENCY
AT MEETING

Members of the Redwood Falls
Lions club forwarded resolutions
to legislators from this district
Monday asking that they oppose
efforts to have the gross earnings
tax on railroads increased from
five to seven per cent.
The action was taken following
talks by A. r. Quasi of Fairfax
and Matt Nahum of Morton who
have taken an active part in the
campaign to save the M and st. l.
railroad from dismemberment.
Although they stated they are
primarily interested in saving
the M and st. L which would be
taxed an additional $4,000 if the
change is made, Mr.. Quasi said
that of IL major railroads operat-
ing in the state, five are broke and
only one has paid a dividend in
recent years. Efforts to place the
matter before the people in the
form of constitutional amend
ment were. defeated at the
regular session but may come up
again at the special session.
M. L. Holmberg was elected
president of the club with George
Hanson as vice president and E.
N. Tersteeg and T. F. Reed as di-
rectors. Scott Schoen was re-
elected club secretary.

COMMUNITY BUILDING
TO BE CONSTRUCTED
THIS SUMMER

The community house for In
dams on the Lower Sioux agen-
cy, projected for over year, will
become a reality this summer.
George A. Barnes, county at

to cover the cost of building the
structure and WPA labor will be
used. There will be no cost to
Redwood county.
1t is expected that work on the
basement will be started this

employed for the most part.
The building will include a
main floor recreation room and
stage measuring 40 by 26 feet
and Is by 13 foot wing to be
used as cloak room and entry
way to the basement.
Downstairs there will be a kit
chen, sewing room, storage space
