ON DAILY MISCUES
Who's Your Choice to Throw Game Away for
Washington Today?--Ready Letter Writers
Still Hard at Work
By THOMAS S. RICE.

When tie Washington ball team
can't lose a game. by absolutely re-
fusing to hit a Atcher, one of its
bright Young men can be counted
upon 10 turn off a miscue that will de-
liver the goods The idea OF Mcbride
making an error yesterday with two
out that caused the tribulatIOn of a
to . score against Les Miserables is
something too much for the ordinary
mind to ponder in peace. Mcbride has
shown rare form this year i'm picking
out DAYS when Washington was away
behind to get the errors out Of his
system. but as Johnson was going
pretty good yesterday, lie felt the
stern call of duty and took it on him
self TO toss Cleveland the opening for
winning. Charles Street is about due
today to give the enemy the needed
runs il our twirler happens to show
fash of form, and Conroy or Dono-
hue would be good selections for to-
morrow. handbook on which Wash
ington player viii make the fatal bull
every day is a good suggestion for
the gamblers.
A couple Of hits for Unglaub and
none for DeIehanty.
Walter Johnson is unfortunate in
being a good pitcher with a poor
team, than which no more discOurag-
ing proposition could face mortal
but the team is not losing all the
games in which Johnson comes out at
the short end. He is a wonder, all
right, all right, but he is not infalli-
BILE, and more than once this season
he has weakened when things broke
badly. That was the case yesterday.
After Mcbride made an eXcusable er-
ror Johnson exploded and the result
ing Cleveland runs were due to his
wobbly pitching. This is not a
knock, but a plain statement for the
benefit of those who have a tendency
to weep over the fate Of our young
Finger and would have us believe
that with a frst-class club he would
be unbeatable.
Ty Cobb has stolen more bases than
the whole Cleveland team put together
Seems like the st, Louis Browns
have been trimming those SOx for
something ike a couple Of weeks. Chi
cago is one team the Browns have
sewed up in sack. and as they keep
right along taking games from COuQis-
KEYS men, while our AIisera bles are
! losing TO anybody who asks them tC
play, St. Louis is getting further and
further from the cellar and Washing
ton deeper and deeper into it. This
unexpected finding of 2 soft spot has
done a great deal to pull the Browns
out of the mire. and they are begin
ming to look like real professional
But they start against against New
York today, and later meet Philadei-
/ phia and Boston, which viii come
pretty near starting another line OF

TAX CONFERENCE.

a n interesting gathering called the lnterna-
\ tional Tax Conference is being held IN
Louisville. Experts taxation arc giving their
views on the best methods of raising revenue for
the support of the government
Many of the members are opposed to the Taft
corporation tax and the conference no doubt
expresses the views of large number of voters
who disapprove of that tax The supporters of
the tax. and particularly Mr. Taft, urge that Il
is designed to give the government an insight
into the workings of the large corporations, those
which are presumed to iuggle stocks and bonds
and to violate the Federal laws No doubt there
has been much such violation, and not only that
but the government has been defrauded by some
corporations in its dealings with them was
shown by the recent custops scandal IN New
York
But the advocates of TIE corporation tax over
look the fact that thouSh binds of smaller corpora
tons which have practically no relations with
the government, which do not make a practice
of violating the laws and against whose methods
of business not word can be said, are also TO
be subjected to the inquisitoria proceedings OF
government officers. Perhaps it is this feature
OF the bill that has aroused the condemnation
of the tax conference.
The president Of the Tax Conference is also
opposed to the movement for the propos-
ed income tax but in this he conflicts with Mr..
Lawson Purdy, the New York expert, who is an
authority of wide reputation. Mr.. Purdy read
an instructive paper before the conference in
which he agreed with the opposition TO the cor
poratou tax but declared himself in favor OF
the income tax if modelled after the English
law.
Mr.. Purdy made the same point that we have
urged several times in discussing the matter
that the corporation tax is partial income tax.
And that is what it is-a discriminating tax
which strikes the income of only certain kind
OF wealth. MIR. Purdy says it has the vices OF
the income tax without the merits of an in
come tax law scientifically framed.
The views of Mr. Purdy should be OF interest
in Delaware as we have frequently heard hin
quoted with approval by some OF our Whining
ton public men. In fact we have heard Mr.
Purdy quoted as being opposed to the income
tax, but he declared at the Louisville meeting
that the United States should at least have th
power to levy such a tax.

Naturalization Of Highways.

Christian Science Monitor.
Among the influences that work for a
better standard of civilization is that
which finds expression in the good

OF a vigorous national life. eConsider-

the efforts for highway improvement
have asserted that roads are local, not
national concerns. Questions of econ

national I'm their scope, are intricately
dependent on public roads. 1t is diff
cult to believe that these things can
be made merely local issues. Inter-
communication between the various
sections indicates a community of in

England has shown a doubling and treb

roads have penetrated.
Distinct advances in the art OF road
building have resulted from the past

probably be thrown on the subject by
the Cleveland deliberations. Macadam

The law committee Of City Council last
night made a report to that body to the
effect that as soon as the revised ordin-
ances of the city We're in the hands OF
Council, a meeting with the members OF
the New Castle County Grange, with re-
spect to the street market laws, would be
arranged.
The county grange, through its presi-
dent, Hervey Walker, sometime ago asked
for a conference with the members OF
Council for the purpose Of re-arranging
the market laws.
Chairman McGovern, Of the law com-
mittee, said City Council two years ago
engaged counsel to codify the city ordin-
ances, and this work would be completed
at an early date. .le thought these ordin-
ances should be in the hands of Council
