The trouble 3 only that 50 many
workingmen get their wisdom from
the small shop-keeper or the saloon
keeper. who in turn. gets 1t from the
capitalist press.
But here are the facts as to taxa
ton, not only for one city, but for
every city In America.
The capitalist class, with the help
Of the small bourgeois, have limited
taxation 70 the utmost. They have
not only limited taxation, but also the
objects for which taxation can be
used. SO as to protect capitalist graft
IA monopOiles and public business.

But the members Of the capitalist
class not only hide their actual wealth
and perjure themselves. but they want
to make an accomplice of the small
bourgeois If possible.
The small shop-keeper also hates to
pay taxes. <SSt because they amount
to very much. but because to him the
taxes represent tribute to the pOliti-
clans, and therefore the politician who
requires the smallest tribute looks
the best to him. even il that politician
should steal. The city or state Is not
a cooperative establishment to the
small bourgeois it is an enemy that
looks out for full weight when be
sells coal, bread or sugar.
The small bourgeois is sti1l very
numerous. And the capitalist class
and their attorneys in court and press
speculate very shrewdly on the ignor-
ance Of the average small shop-keep-
er as to the purpose Of taxation. And
they speculate on his parsimony.

BY SENATOR"

At least two OF the Climbers, accord
ing to the official fielding figures issued
today by Irwin NJ. Howe. the American
Leagues statistician, stand out among
their fellows when II comes to scooping
up the grounders and seizing the hot
shots. Chick" Gandil is the real leader
of the first basemen, while It is a close
contest between Bobby Wallace and
George Mcbride, though his appearance
in more games seems to give Mcbride
the edge. especially when Wallace's s
mark Is but one point higher.
Borton, the White Sox recruit: John
Collins. his teammate, and Doc Johnson.
the Maps big lefthander. are ahead Of
Gandil, but they played but few games
at the initial sack, while the Climbers
star hustled through III contests for the
excellent average OF $780,
Laporte and Morgan did not class
much with Rath, La1oie, Eddie Collins,
Bill Louden, Hack" Simmons, Derrill
Pratt or Steve Yerkes when 1t comes to
holding the sizzlers at the midway. while
only Turner, Baker and Larry Gardner
class ahead OF "Robbit" Foster.
Strunk Real Leader.
Amos strunk. the funny-looking gard
ener OF the White Elephants, is the real
leader among the outfielders, though fol-
lowed closely by Sam Crawford. the
pudgy veteran of the Tigers. Strunk
felded for $50. Crawford for 1854, Ralph
Mattick for .9s2 in lightweight games
and Rube Oldrlng for .9E4 in ninety

McInnes Is Busiest.
"Stuny" McInnes has the most put
outs of all the first basemen, handling
no less than 1883 thrown balls success
fully. Chase Is second, and Gandil
third In this respect.
That George Mcbride covers acres of
ground Is seen by his $40 put-outs and
4sS assists. with only SO errors in l5,
games. However. that little dartins
