II Keokuk has no bad luck during
August the team should carry off the
pennant It looks as II the city has
never been represented by fightir~
baseball team such as Belt has
gathered together for the pres
ent season and with any kind
OF luck the city should have
her first pennant winner. The only
team to be feared at the present time
Is Hannibal, but when the teams are
compared one by one Keokuk looks the
best. Burlington has shown off form
during the past two weeks.and 1t looks
as IL Egan and his men were surely
Slipping down and Will remain In third
place for time.
The Indians are going we'll at the
| present time and in fact have been for
| a long time. even as far back as the
road slump which carried US to fifth
! place, the lowest We have been during
the season. The Indians are going
well In the pitching department and
1 the hits are being turned into runs
The team In It's present running may
win the pennant as the White Sox did
| a few years ago, not by smuggling the
ball, but by clever inside work which
Oxen carries team to the front In
| the face OF great odds.
There has been considerable talk ir
Keokuk about not wanting pennan'
winner as it spoils baseball in city
This is true in some cities which have
no real baseball enthusiasm. but i
would not be the case In Keokuk
And anyway. what's the use OF beat

then halting; having q goal in view
which means success and triumph, bu
always holding off and not wanting t
reach it. Keokuk wants the pennan
and that is what the fans are support

Sporting Tips

Keokuk now has a nice lead over
Hannibal which should carry her
through the present series, even II an
unlocked for slump arrives
The Hawk-Eye dope went wrong as
it nearly always does. The slump
or downfall at the hands OF the Cans
has not yet been seen on the horizon;
willie Prough was the man who put
the finishing touches on Prout's men
Yesterday, sautting them out Prough
has been scored against fewer times
than any pitcher In the league and has
the greatest number of strikeouts to
his credit.
Hannibal got six hits but they were
so widely scattered that nothing re-
suited in the way Of a run.
| If the Indians can maintain the
nresent pace they will widen the gap
| between first and second place.
Burlington has not won many games
since taking the first d uble header
in this city two weeks ago. Kewanet
took four and 1t looks as II Waterloo
VIII have easy pickings also

was in a box that caused him more

Both Were Effective.


Both Kraft and Prough were efiec-
tive. Although the visitors found Da-
vie for safe drives at two stages OF
the game, he had them guessing the
remainder of Ne game and his curves
were hard for the Indians to connect
with. He had good control and had
the speed. but it just happened that
the visitors got to hitting EN- out at
critical times. He pitched nice game
and allowed but five bingles.
On the other hand. the work of
Prough in the box was even more eff
fective than was Kraft's work. Had
It not been for the fast fielding of the
Indians outer gardeners, the Cans
would have scored at least one run.

The Cannibals had several chances
to score but were una lie to pull
single man around the sacks for
count. In the very first inning. with
two mea on bases, pretty double

ed things. After two men were down
in the first frame. Evans reached sec

Gator holder, Pat Wright, he was out

was forced around to third base and
attempted to steal home. but OyIer at
second made pretty peg and cut him
OF the pan By six inches. In the eighth
inning Prout started things by laying
liner down in left field. But he stuck
to first until two men had died and

HANNIBAI., July so: The Indians
got the scalps of the Cannibals n the
nrst game OF the series, but the man
eaters. after their four square meals
Al Jacksonville, were not hungry
enough to even want a lunch on the
Indians. It will be different. however,
today. The Cannibals have gone a
wboIe dav without food and today they
will be so hungry that the Indians, I'M
der Pa Belts supervision, will be run
ming around the ball park looking LOT
knot holes to crawl out of the park be-
fore the game is half over. The game
was a fast one and the. visitors won
out by hitting the ball at opportune
times during the different intervals OF
the game. Kraft was on the mound
for the Cans and he let the visitors
down with Ave hits. The hits were
punched. however, and came just at
the proper time Prough was gotten
at for six bingles. but his were all
scattered Both teams fielded pretty
game and. although each club was
credited with one error, the game was
an exciting one all the way through
the work of Kraft and Prough being
two OF the features of the game. The
first inning passed without maj
crossing the pan. but in the SECOND
the visitors scored two runs.

beth, and was brought later by the
colonists to New England. It spread
gradually westward through New
York and into Ohio. where It is per-
petuated in the Kelly law of 1916.
This law was taken over by the leg
islature of Minnesota almost in its
entirety and in their turn the legis-
latures of North Dakota have taken
over the Minnesota law and establish.
ed it in this state as the basis OF
their taxing system. s9....>. -.
The general property tax was Gre
ater in the days of simple things
Property existed in the form of hand
and houses, live stock, tools and i'm
plements and household goods. 1t
then fitted the conditions fairly we'll
but since the coming Of the ,corpor.
ate organization, new kinds of wealth
have made their appearance, and
q general breakdown was resulted In
the efficiency of the assessment sys.
tem
The law in North Dakota requires
the local assessors to determine and
fix the true and full value, but 1t
creates no special machinery to keep
the assessment uniform. AS time
goes on, local assessors use their own
Judgment about the standard of val
ne, and. as the pressure from their
constituents increases they tend
more and more to conform to the To-
cal opinion about the making of as
sessments. The result is that many
views come to exist, almost as many
as there are assessors. Towns boards
of review attempt in a perfunctory
way to equalize the assessment be-
tween individuals; the county board
as between localities, and the state
board as between counties. But this
elaborate machinery for correcting the
assessment fails to reach the funda-
mental difficulty, which is, the I'M
equal standards of value created by
the local assessors. In addition to
this, the law as applied to certain
forms of personal property appears to
be unavoidable, and the attitude OF
the local assessor tends to empha-
size the difficulty. It has been sug-
gested that tax ferrets be employed
to find out who has personal prop
erty, and it has been urged that heavy
penalties be placed upon men who
have violated the law. But where
this has been tried, men and capital
have left the state, with q resultant
injury, to the community which they
left. II the law had been right In
the first place and the assessor had
had a full knowledge OF values, in
the second instance, no injustice
would have been created. ts,sf% y
The question, then, is, What can
you put up in the place OF g general
property tax? No one has urged the
abandonment sof the real property tax,
and such notifications Of the person
al property tax as to have been ,sug-
gested from time to time have been
put forward for the purpose Of avoid
ing the Inconsistencies Of that part
Of the general property tax law. IN
der the North Dakota constitution no
changes can be made in the general
property tax as 9 method of collect
