THE TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill is now in the house
which will consider the additions and
subtractions of the senate. The pros-
poets are that the corporation tax of
two per cent will be changed to one per
cent and passed in that form. AS we
stated in this paper two weeks ago, this
IS by far the most important measure
that has been before congress for many
years The amount of the tax is of little
account, but the principle involved, will
open up the business of corporate trusts
SO that abuses may be seen, and when
seen will be but little trouble to cor
rect.
On the other hand, the corporations
that are doing legitimate business will
be able to make that showing, which
will be business benefit to them equal
to the amount of tax paid, if not more.
Before any disease, whether of the
physical body or the body polite, can
be cured it must first be correctly dag
nosed; heretofore, while we knew there
were evils we did not know how to get
at them because we did not know Just
what they were-and the trust people
wouldn't show us, now they will have to.

About two years ago Mr.. w. A. Myers
left this office to 60 west and take charge
OF the Maxbass Monitor. Since that
time Mr.. Myers has not only made good
as first class editor but has prospered
SO that he not only now owns the Moni.
tor but has also purchased three more
weekly papers in that vicinity. Accord.
ing to the accepted rule, weekly paper
is self-evident sign of the poverty of
the publisher, like the poor mans dog.
So we hardly know whether to congrat
ulate Mr.. Myers on his acquisitions or
not. -Four papers ought to be four times
as bad as one paper. However, there
was once Jew who insisted that he sold
all his goods at ten per cent less than
cost. Somebody asked him how he
could continue in business at that rate.
he replied, "Vell would go bangrubt
right away, if I didn't sell SO many
goods. Perhaps that explains Editor
Myers quadruplet prosperity.

The complaint made by a correspond

is certainly aggravating to have to pay

question specifically; that ought to be
and perhaps will be a question for the
courts. Incidentally we may notice
that under our law for ditchine the

One of the arguments that the corpor-
alton people put up against the proposed
income tax is that it would give the de-
tails of their business to the public.
This woulo be rather hardin some cas-
es--but as every private citizen of North
Dakota is required by law once each
year to give sworn and itemized state
of his personal belongings to the assessor
and has to pay taxes on such whether he
has any income Or not, he feels as
though the corporations would still be
better of than he, as they will only have
to pay on net incomes.

"'TOWN BALL" so YEARS AGO.

Fifty years ago there was game call.
ed "town ball'' which was the predeces-
sor of the present game of base ball. In
the old town ball the diamond was a
square and the batter stood half way
between the first base and home base.
Generally the first base was but few
steps from the batter's position and
therefore the batter after striking had
seldom much difficulty in making first.
The distances between bases were
made at the time Of the game, according
to the nature of the ground and the In
clination of the players. The pitcher
stood at any distance from the batter he
chose and threw the ball in any manner
he chose and as often as he liked until
the ball was either hit by the batter or
until he had struck at it three times.
In the latter case the striker was out
provided the catcher had caught the
ball each time the striker struck.
There was no umpire to call balls on
the pitcher or "giver" as he was then
called.
One man out put the side out. The
number on either side was unlimited ex.
cept they were equal. The captains at
the beginning Of the game won first
choice by "fisting' the "batstick," by
which one threw the batstick to the
other who caught it with one hand; from
this point the second placed his hand on
the hand Of the. first, and then alternat.
ing until the top was reached, the man
whose hand was at the top getting the
choice Of the first player, then the other
captain chose and so on until all the men
available were chosen. The outfield
scattered anywhere they chose, but
there we're no basemen on bases as there
were no forced bases in those days.
And here was perhaps the greatest diff.
ference in the old game, for then all the
putting out when men were running
bases was done by throwing the ball at
the runner, though Of course the same
thing could be done by touching him
with the ball while Of the base. Thus

PEMBINA, n. D, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1909.

like this county is a matter that should
be first taken up as whole. So far al.
most all the ditchlng has been local to
separate communities. Further, sys-
TEN t'iat would cover the whole county,
with drains interdependent on each
other Is problem for trained engineers.
There will undoubtedly be several hun
dred thousand dollars spent in dtching
in this county in the near future-and
we haven't even good surveyor residing
IN this county.
The system by which contiguous lands
pay for local bitches is wrong. Ditch
ing in level county like this is and
ought to be at least in part a county
matter. That is, the county as whole
should pay a far share of the cost of
ditcElng, taxing the local lands the bal
ancv according to the benefits.
The expense of survey should be paid
entirely by the county and about the
first thing should be to hire one (per-
haps three would be better) consulting
drainage engineer to make general
plan and to have supervision over the
work.
We cannot expect to have anything
but dissatisfaction when we ask three
unframed men to perform duties that
require the highest techical skill. The
gentlemen who compose the present
drainage board in this county are each
good capable men, but if we wanted q
hundred foot span bridge built or even a
shoe mended, we would not be likely tc
do it.
OF course such a board or even one
drainage engineer, would cost some mo.
ney, but that only proves the value o.
such men, and when we are to invest
money by thousands of dollars in drain
age it would be cheaper--c considering
present flood experiences.

lowed to strike until he hit the ball
The ball of those days was home made
affair of yarn and rubber covered with
leather by the village shoemaker. One
of its chief merits was it's ability to
bound, but of course it was comparative
ly soft to the balls now used, as they
necessarily had to be when used as mis-
sles to fire at baserunners.
A foul ball was unknown, though ga
tick-and-a-catch'' was out, as also was
batted ball caught on the first bound.
No such thing as regular teams were
known but the games were generally 10
cal and only played by men on such hol-
idays as Thanksgiving, etc., though the
boys played daily as they do now.
Along in the civil war years the game
was developed into form much as it is
played now. The diamond arrangement
OF bases, basemen, throwing to bases and
touching men ouS were the fundamental
changes that made the game something
more scientific. About this time the
batter had three strikes but only had
them called on him when he struck at
the ball and not until several years after
the war, we think about 1871 was every
delivery made either ball or strike.
These "reminiscences we're IN part
brought up by reading over the Fourth
of July celebration accounts in our ex
changes this week. If any town in the
country didn't have agame of base ball
on the Fourth it was because the ''local
nine" had journeyed to the neigh boring
town to play there and hence it was just
as much interested. The development
of baseball is one of the most remarkable
things of the past half century. 1t has
many pleasing features even for those
who do not care for the game itself,
either as participants or spectators.
One thing is that it is purely Yankee
invention. No other country has game
so universal or so well-liked. 1t is capa-
BILE of the highest exercise of both brain
and muscle, while there is a minimum
of danger.
Withal it is simple enough that the
veriest youngster may understand and
play it, which he does with the utmost
enthusiasm.
Another thing, perhaps the best of all
it is a clean game. Almost invariably
the games are played for all tbs players
are worthwhile gambling on games as
business is utterly unknown. Ever in
the high league teams where players
are hired at salaries far above the ordi-
nary professional or clerical worker,
there IS no scandal of bribery or selling
out. And this in distinction to the SO
called mobile game of horse.racing."
We are glad to see Young America in
terested and playing baseball. 1t is
good for him to play in many ways and
the games he has on the diamond in the
ball park will help him both physically
and mentally to make a better man
for the games he will have to play on
the bigger diamonds of business and so.
