School Singers in Concert
Thursday, March 20.

On Thursday, March 20, the j. G.
and high school choirs under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth Wilkin are
presenting a concert for their yearly
program. The choirs are to be ac-
companied by the high school orchestra
under the direction of Mr.. Frank "
Di Nino
The reason for not presenting an
opera as has been done in the past
few years, is that operas do not give
all of the singers an equal chance. To
overcome this, Miss Wilkin has decided
to present concert in which all OF
the singers will equally participate.
The concert will consist of modern
and popular songs by Sigmond Rom
berg, Victor Herbert, and other well
known composers.

The interim committee report on tax
matters in the range towns has been
made to the legislature. The report
embodies everything expected by the
ranges and bills to be introduced &C
cording to the interim committee
report will probably be of a very
drastic nature. Up to today only ex-
cerptS of the recommendations made
by the committee have been given the
public but enough has become known
to show that the committee has gone
into the matter very thoroughly.
In answer to the statement made
that the relief costs on the ranges
were brought about by the large num-
Der of men laid off at the mines, the
committee stated that an analysis of
the pay rolls of the cities of Virginia,
Hibbing and Ely showed this to be
only campaign material. In Virginia,

TEETH SHAY IN B!LL ON
 GOLD TAX
Move 10 Remove Penalties Resisted Today in
 Senate Session

An attempt to remove penalties from the bill of Senator c. II. (Alabam) LaBoyteaux putting teeth in the gold tax act was defeated by a vote of five to three in the Sen ate today.
 Senator Henry Roden proposed that the 10 percent penalty for non-payment by January 31 and 15 percent penalty for non payment by March 15 be stricken.
 Senator O. D. Cochran argued against removing the penalties, saying that many companies had neglected to pay the tax on the advice of lawyers who question the legality of the act and that these fellows wouldn't be so eager to wait" for someone to drag them into court and make them pay their taxes if they knew they would have to pay penalties along with them.
 They've taken the gold out of the ground. They have it. There isn't any reason why they shouldn't pay this tax" Cochran declared
 The bill passed through second reading today.
 Music Boxes
 An amendment by LaBoyteaux to exempt music machines from Rep. Harvey J. Smiths "juke box" tax bill was rejected four to four. The bill would license coin-operated amusement devices $15 per year.
 Opposing LaBoyteauxs proposal, Senator LeRoy Sullivan of Nome de- cried these machines which blare cut their jazz music through thin walls into the street"
 But complained LaBouteaux, lots Of machines you put nickle in to get music to dance by"
 Smiths bill to raise the tax on hard liquor from 50 cents to $50 per gallon was continued in second reading until Monday.
 Rep. Leo Rogge's bill to require that applicants for licenses to prac- tice medicine must be U. s. citizens was reported favorably from com mittee. Rep. James V. Davis bill to require the Health Department to pay for physical examinations for food handlers received an adverse report from committee
