II you have been touring
around the country this year,
you may have noticed that it
cost more than last year.
All prices are up. But even
after allowing for higher
prices you may have found
your wallet flatter than ever
before.
It's the new taxes.
All over the country State
and local taxes have been going
up.
There's need for new schools,
hospitals. Fairgrounds and
highways. and demands for
higher pay by the $500. 900
people who work for State ana
local governments. Property,
income and other taxes on res
idents have been raised re-
peatedly and officials are fran
tically looking for additional
revenues.
Including the Tourist
A favored tax is one that
can be levied on tourists, trav-
elers and other passers-by.
The more a city or State can
lay on visitors from Boston and
Hollywood, the less it may
have to nick the hometown
voters.
Travellers should not object
to some taxes. They demand
police protection. good high
ways. pure food inspections
and many other services when
in q strange community; it is
only fair they pay a share.
However. some communities
have been laying it on a bit
heavy. judging from travellers
complaints. Occupancy taxes
on hotels and motels are stiff
In some places and they hit
travellers mostly.
In many places traffic fines
are imposed more readily on
tourists than on others, al
though some officers seem to
take greater delight in giving

Farm tractor accidents now take
more than 1000 lives annually.
o. T. Hogsett. extension safety
specialist at the University Of
Illinois College of Agriculture. sug-
gests that all operators be prop

OF tractor accidents.
Remember. too, that fatigue is

Hogsett says.
Excessive speed is the No. /
cause Of tractor accidents. Defec-

quick turn can bring tragedy if
your speed is too high.
Teen-aged tractor operators
have far too many accidents.
Work with these youngsters, and

The testing team has tested over
5000 head of cattle and have al
ready received reports back on 2,743
tests. There are only IL places in
the county representing Is animals
that have the disease SO far" Ellis
stated. These nimals Will be
slaughtered and the herds rechecked
until two clear tests are reported
within a 80 day period.
The test teams are working only
two days week now, SO it will
still be some time before the tests
are completed and the county can
be certified 'brucellosis free"
There are only seven states in the
nation that are brucellosis free. &C
cording to recent department OF
agriculture news release. The status
is reached when blood-tests indicate
that the disease is present in not
more than one per cent of the
states cattle and not more than
five per cent OF the herds.
The movement to test and get the
state free of brucellosisis is very
active in Virginia. Cumberland

LEGISLATIVE RECORD

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from Saturday
least an implied interpretation of the Revised Organic
Act. both by the legislature and by the signing governor,
to the effect that under the Resolutions OF the Leglsla-
ture providing for inquiries and investigations ttne only
type of legislative action referred to IN ACT NO. ool may
empoWer a legislative investigating committee 10 1unc-
tion in the interim between sessions; otherwise II Would
have made no sense for Act No. sc to provide speclncaly
the procedure for enforcement when a contempt \ COLI
mitted before a committee when the legislature IS not
in session
Having considered the merits OF the question pre-
sented we now turn to the specific facts which preelpl-
tated it.
Bv Resolution No. 80 adopted by the first legislature
on lime E. 1856. which was the 59th day OF It's second
roo1l1ar session. it was recited that information had come
to the legislature which, it correct, Indicated tnaI puDlc
monies had been paid out OF the treasury lllegany' pau
ticularly in connection with travel expenses OF severaI
officials of the government; wherefore II was resolved
that the Finance Committee of the legislature be, and
it is hereby, authorized, to initiate ana complete q
thorough investigation of expenditures OF the Govern
ment Of the Virgin Islands made curing the nscal years
1855. 1856 and 1857" Since it was obvious that sucn Il
vestigation could not possibly be completed before the
adjournment Of the regular session OF the LEGISLATURE on
the following day, Resolution No. 80 directed the finance
Committee ito make a full and complete report to the
legislature. at it's next session, regular or special Fur
thermore. the Finance Committee was authorized 70 en-
plov legal counsel and other assistance, up TO a
maximum Of $4,000.
The legislature duly ADJOURNED sine ue ol June :
1856. Thereafter, on July 10, 1856, the Standing Commit
fee on Finance directed a subpoena to Mr. Percy lie
Jongh, Commissioner of Finance, appellant herein, direct
ing him or a duly designated representative to present
to the Committee on Finance on the afternoon OF July 10,
1856, "copies Of all Vouchers and Schedules OF Payments
covering expenditures made by the Department OF FIN
ance Of the Government Of the Virgin Islands for the
period July /, 1854, to September 80, 1854, :" The
Commissioner declined to honor this subpoena, not on
his own authority but pursuant to Executive Order NO.
IA issued bv the governor on July 5, 1856. This Executive
Order was directive to all commissioners and heads OF
executive and administrative departments forblddlng
them, without the governors written approval, to appear
before any interim committee OF the legislature or 70
s1nnlv to such committee any requested information,
books or records. The recited ground for this directive
was that the Virgin Islands Legislature had no power
or authority to create any committee or committees to act
for the Legislature after it had adjourned sine die, and
any such committee has no official standing or legislative
mnctions."

, 1957-11-18

States Attorney, on behalf Of the Commissioners, filed a
motion to dismiss on the ground that the petition failed
to state claim upon which relief could be granted. After
further proceedings the District Court issued an order
denying the motion to dismiss; and on September IT.,
1856, the District Court issued its final decree ordering
the Commissioner of Financet to appear before the Finance
of the legislature ION the fifteenth day from
the date of service Of a certified copy Of this Decree upon
him, and to respond to the subpoena duces tecum of the
said Finance Committee, dated July 10, 1856 and here
tofore served on the said Percy De Jongh.' The decree
further recited that it was without prejudice to the right
of the said Percy De Jongh to raise before the said Fin
ance Committee and, if subsequent occasion should arise,
before this Court, any claim that in the circumstances Of
the case the demand for information is unreasonably and
improperly comprehensive 1t is from this decree that
the present appeal has been taken. For the reasons already
stated we are of opinion that the decree must be affirmed.
A judgment will be entered affirming the decree of

But back to the question: so
many women" Mr.. Gartenhaus says.
think mink is mink-and IL the pelt
bears this name, it must be the best.
This is a completely wrong concep-
ton. There are almost as many
different qualities in mink as there
are colors in the rainbow. We, Of
course, always advise our customers
to buy the best fur of its kind
which. incidentally; is ALL THAT
WE OFFER. If you can't buy the
best mink, we urge you to buy the
best in any fur you can afford q. Z.
Persian, muskrat, even mouton.
'If you do decide on mink, first
pick your shade. And here. you
have virtually every hue imaginable
to choose from-all in beauteous
natural color. They are doing mar
velous things in breeding ON the
American ranches. and you can find
your color whether it's blue, grey,
black, white, brown or any variation
thereof. We do not sell blend-dye
mink, and we advise against any
one buying it.
Let me right now reiterate Q
point our store always makes: Buy
your fur from a man who clearly
labels the name of the animal,
country of origin. whether dyed or
natural, and has prices that are
clearly visible--no codes!
when it comes to the style to
choose, it's no different from any
other wearing apparel you would
buy. 1t depends on what the gar
ment will be used for sheer,
dressy glamour or casual, cookbook
ing warmth. etc. Buy a mink style
that suits your figure. much as you
would dress.
whether you buy a custom styled
or ready-made mink coat is strictly
up to the customer. However. we
gladly style any wrap to suit an
individuals needs and ideas. Our
customs styling includes such services
as personal selection of mink bum
dies, pattern designs and try-on
fittings, finest craftsmanship and
style details. All of this is handled
in our own work rooms, as well as
re-styling, remodeling and repairing
of mink garments.
"To digress a minute, let me ask
you to remind an your listeners to
always have re-styling and remodel-
ing handled by a reputable furrier.
Making over fur is no simple tai
loring job. 1t must be done by q
man who knows skins-and can cut
original fur patterns. Only master
furrier can tell you whether it's
worth having your older mink re-
styled. Many times 1t is not.
IF you want to know when 70
buy mink--it's the same as with any
other fur. If you're looking for the
largest up-to-date selection and
want to use a lay-away plan, BUY
NOW, IN AUGUST. A reputable
store can give you an honest saving
in August. But, If you want last
seasons" styles, you'll have to wait
until next January and February
sales"
Well, that certainly answered the
question for my inquisitive fair
lady" listener, didn't it? told her
she wouldn't have to look any fur
ther than Gartenhaus for an honest,
reliable, skillful furrier-and I'll say
the same to you right now. YOuu
