THOUSANDS ENJOY
THE DAY At PARKS
Fine Program Of Sports at Manito--
Some of the Winners.

The bright sunshine, the lure of
he shady hooks of Mantle, and an
interesting program called many
thousands of people TO Mantle park
oday for the annual Labor day
celebration by the organized work
RS Of Spokane.
People began assembling early,
ind over two thousand were on the
ground before 10 o'clock. Every
.ar was crowded to the guards, and
IN some cars men chung to the
tides, while others rode on top. The
presence of the wives and children
Ind the all important dinner basket
gave the affair the appearance of a
arge family picnic.
The rostrum for the speaking
and the athletic arena were located
In the north end of the park at the
base ball diamond. The speaker
stand was placed at the edge of
the thick grove of deciduous trees
that ornament this section of the
park, making it natural assem-
bly, place, an ideal spot for the
exercises. Long benches were dis
tributed among the trees, and here
the women gathered and the chill
dren rested while the heads of the
families yelled themselves hoarse
at the sports in the sunshine.
The morning program consisted
of holly contested game of base
ball between the plumbers and the
r,;,tare II, which aonb IF tho cop
testants had their warm supporters
The roofing was liberal, and the in
terest almost as keen as if Spokane
and Seattle were struggling on the
diamond
The two-mile foot race was run
while the base ball game was in
progress and developed good field
of starters. The finish was close
and exciting, and Run, Billy, run,
greeted each Splinter as he passed
under the wire. The prizes were
s12 for the first, IS for the second
and "a for the third, with an en-
trance fee of 81.
The baby show was held on the
speakers stand at IL a.. m, fol-
babies one year old or under. The
judges were Messrs. Jarvis. Chap
man, Oerter, McElvoy, latch, Miss
Ida Holmes and Mrs. Beshara. The
prizes were $40 for the first, 81 fol
the second. IS for the third, and 81
for the fourth The judges ap
preached the question of picking
the prettiest baby with feeling oil
some awe as to the magnitude OF
the task required of them. as they
felt that there were so many pretty
babies that it was hard to make
a selection.

of things may happen in two years,
they reflected
There may be a fight in Massa-
chusetts. The Bay state has many
strong labor unions who will make
a fight for its passage. The Cen
trail Labor union of Boston has al
ready endorsed the project. Men
who are in favor of it are already
putting legislative candidates on
record as to what they will do In
the matter.
It may pass the house. But
then there's the senate. In Massa.
chusetts that body of 40 men
has done some pretty clever
strangling in the past. They may
do more. Far be 1t from anyone
except the outsiders-to hint
that the upper body of the great
state of Massachusetts would ever
be influenced improperly-still
they have done some queer things
Some corporation measures-but
let that pass.
In this case men at the head OF
the big corporations, the New
Haven and the Boston & Maine
railroads, and the banks, would
have to pay a pretty fair percent
age of the public expenses under
an income tax law.
They are not making any fuss
They never do. They are not out
fighting the income tax amend
ment. Far from 1t. But they get
there just the same. And when
the income tax amendment passes
the lower house of the legislature
as 1t probably will, just watch
what they'll do to 1t in the senate
There 1t will be-so say the well
informed-no sweet, long sleep as
in Connecticut, but a sudden and
violent death.
And as in Massachusetts,, SO
probably, will it be in Maine and
Vermont. The rich, thrifty, money
lending farmers of the Green Noun
tain state are known to be strongly
opposed to taking from their money
bags a dollar more than Is avoid
able-and the newspapers are al
most unit in opposition to the
tax
There is a better chance 70 the
income tax measure meeting ap-
prevail in New Hampshire than in
any other state In Yankeeland
With the largest legislature in the
Union and the pressure OF the
farmers from the lean hills of the
Granite state there Is believed to be
some probability OF its passage.
In Maine. New Hampshire and
Vermont the lines of cleavage on
the income tax plan are similar. In
all the democrats are for it, In all
practically all the republicans-the
prosperous ones-are opposed.

Connecticut Has Already
Taken a Smash, and
There's Nothing But a
Bare Chance That the
Other States Won't Fol-
low Suit.
BY +. J. WILSON

BOSTON, Sept. 6.-What will
happen to the income tax in con-
sentative New England?
Will it last as long as stack OF
Kansas alfalfa in front of husky
Kansas cyclone? Or as long as 1t
takes a hungry coyote to clean up
a Wyoming jackrabbit?
About that long.
However, the income tax's finish
won't be as violent as that, prob
ably. There are nice comfortable
ways of killing an offensive meas
ure without rousing the agitators.
A bill can die in committee. 1t can
be strangled quietly and decently
in the upper house. 1t can go over
for two years consideration and
sober thought as has already been
done in Connecticut. III
But 1t will be killed, that Is cer-
tain, say the best informed people
in New England. III
Oh, yes, some people think
there's a bare chance. In New
Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
But there's nothing at all doing In
Massachusetts. Connecticut hes
already turned the cold shoulder.
And N. w. Aldrich's country estate
of Rhode Island will pass it when
they have ice skating in Alba
| querque. J..
New England has many million
aires, many well-to-do people. The
idea of the sacredness of vested
rights and of property is stronger
in New England than in any other
part of the country. New England
thinks well of Lowell as a poet and
writer, but doesn't agree with him
that property will always take
care of itself while 1t is individual
llibarty that needs guarding"
Connecticut was the first New
England state where the PROPOSE

publican congress had started II off
on the bump-the-bumps. So repub-
lican Connecticut couldn't very well
turn 1t down outright.
! The solution--it was postponed
till the next meeting of the legisla-
ture, two years away. The solons
thought that they needed time to

which there were no handicaps and

THE LARGEST TOMATO
CROP IS COMING

If the fall frosts keep away long
enough Spokane county this year
will harvest the largest tomato crop
in its history. A few years ago the
cultivation of tomatoes, except in
small patches, was unknown in Spo-
kane county. Since the develop
ment of the irrigated districts in
the Spokane valley the industry has
grown steadily until this year there
are several hundred acres of prom
Using tomatoes. The crop is now

will be sold to the canning factory
east of the city limits.
Another industry that has grown
in late years is pickle uclture.
There are numerous patches of Gu
cumbers several acres in extent at
Opportunity that are yielding fine
returns. The watermelon crop in
the irrigated district is also good
and Spokane people can feast on
the luscious melons at reasonable
