DID VOTERS
GET STUNG?

Did Everett voters hand themselves
gold brick when they voted for ;
modified form of single tax last Nov
ember? Or did the State Tax Commits
sion override the will of the people
by an arbitrary order to the county
assessor? These are the questions
that are agitating the minds of single
takers and some people who are not
single takers. 1t will be recalled that
Everett voted to eliminate $3.50 of the
valuation of improvements from tax
alton, to take effect on 1918 tax levy;
252o more in 1915, and so on until all
improvements were exempt from taxa
ton. Then came the order from the
Tax Commission to the county asses
sor to make up the tax rolls for 1913
on the same old basis of taxation.
Single tax adherants do not seem
to know just where they are at Not
a man jack of them but believes the
approved ordinance to be constitutions
al, but how to get it into operation,
aye, there's the rub. The Tax Commits
sion takes the ground that no munic-
ipality has the power to exempt city
property from state and county taxa
tion and that the rolls must be made
up as the laws of the state require
1t holds that no exemption should be
allowed until the court of last resort
has passed upon the constitutionality
of the exemption.
City Attorney Davis is anxious to
get the legality of the ordinance test
ed but is at loss how to get into
court with the matter Mr.. Davis says
that there is no power vested in city
authorities to compel any officer to
perform duties not laid down in the
law governing such county officers
AS the exemption does not apply to
1912 taxes, it is apparent to him that
there is no way for an individual tax
payer to get action this year to test
the exemption. The Legislature might
have given municipalities increased
power in taxation matters, but it
didn't In Mr.. Davis opinion there is
no way to get the exemption tested
until next year when the 1913 taxes
are due. Then he believes a taxpayer
might tender his taxes, less 25Go on
improvements on his city property,
and in event such tender is refused,
bring mandamus proceedings and thus
get the ordinance into court. Single
takers think there is some other way
out but up to date no one has offered
a solution and there the matter stands.

GRAND LEADER
COMPANY DECIDES ON
MINIMUM WAGE SCALE

The Grand Leader Dry Goods com
pany is the first store in Everett and
the second of its kind in the state of
Washington to act in accordance
with suggestions brought out by the
discussion now progressing regarding
minimum wage scale for women,
This company today said that it had
established a minimum wage, to be-
come effective Immediately
Forty-eight clerks are employed by
the Grand Leader Dry Goods com
pany, and while not all of that num-
her will be affected by the establish
ment of the minimum wage plan,
nevertheless new clerks will come
under the ruling and receive benefits
from it.
The company's plan as outlined,
is to place the minimum wage at IS
a week. This scale does not include
apprentices, but has to do with EN-
ployes who have had some expert
ence in the business. Apprentices,
however, will not be paid less than
Sc a week, or 81 day, during their
period of probation and schooling in
salesmanship.
Messrs Hackman and Hochstadter,
of the Grand Leader Dry Goods COM
pany, arrived at the minimum wage
decision after talking the question
with their employees. Hereafter wages
paid will run from Sc a week to ap-
prentices, and from $S to s25 a week
to experienced people.

British Professional Golfer
Has Chance for Big Money

II shall never forget the first time
/ met James Braid; it was at Sand
witch in 1911, and he was then open
champion.
HE DOTTED his cap and l, of course,
mine, and he said sir" so often that
l, being just a boy, grew little con-
fused. Then l asked some one why
the professionals all stayed outside of
the pretty little railing surrounding
the Royal st. Georges Club at Sand
witch, and was told that no profess
sional was ever allowed in a club
house.
II also learned that no professional
was ever addressed as Mr.. These are
small things, but utterly at variance
with anything | had known in Amer
lea. over here I had sat alongside
professionals at many banquets in
club dining-rooms, and, although the
professionals duties keep him mostly
outside the club house, | had never
heard of any rules upon the subject.
1t is true, that many American club
members are such ardent golfers that
they spend their golfing time on the
links and avoid the clubhouse.
From the money point of view, the
big British professional has a great
advantage over the American, but !
am sure there are more clubs in
America that furnish a comfortable
living for the average pro-

HERE'S MINOR LEAGUE MANAGER WHO

Down in the Blue Grass League,

Bashang. the little fielder who gets a
spring trial with Detroit. "the mana
gers are very firm and positive in
their ways. They want all the credit.
They want to show that the success
of their team is due wholly to their
exertions, and they are always there
with the alibi in case they fall. One
Blue Grass leader had an elaborate
set of signals-about 575 of them-and
every movement he made had some
bearing on the proceedings of the
game. His signal to steal a base was
to dust his shoes with his handker-
chief, and one afternoon, with the
bases full, two down and his team
two runs behind, he was raging and

Snowy Bakers Countrywide
Hunt for Australian Hope

age from IS to % years and weighed
all the way from $50 to 23O pounds.
Apart from what the securing of
the highways and byways of Austria
liza may bring forth, Baker, has three
ex-amateur heavyweights in process
of development just now. These are
Gordon Coghill. former amateur
heavyweight champion Of Australia;
Albert Pooley and Harold Ewers.
The last-named is a West Australian
who was unearthed by the American
colored pugilist, Sam McVey, during
tour of the Western country. Nc
Vey made pupil of Ewers and
coached him along. Ewers stands 6
feet and is spoken of as fellow of
infinite promise.
Coghill won his spurs recently by
defeating sgd Fitzsmmons, of New
Zealand nephew of the veteran
Bob Fitzsimmons. The two heavies
met in the first of a series of elimina-
! ton bouts at the Rushcutters Bay
Stadium in Sydney and Fitzsimmons
was knocked out in the fourth round.
| Fitzsimmons was put down twice in
the thifd round. and although he bat
tied pluckily, was so palpably marked
for defeat in the following round that
his seconds threw up the sponge.

There is vast difference in the
position of the professional golfer in
this country and in Great Britain,
writes Chick Evans.
whether it Is better in one coun-
try or the other depends on ones
point of view; the whole British atti-
tude toward amateur and professional
golf seems strange to an American.
Here amateur golf attracts the great
est attention and the open tourna-
ments, which are few. are attended
by comparatively small galleries. In
Great Britain however, there is
regular schedule of exhibition
matches and many tournaments for
the professionals. 1t has often been
said that the winning of the British
open means $4,000 or $4,000 to the
winner. Large galleries follow all the
matches and extraordinary interest is
shown.
Everywhere appear public enthusi'
asm and admiration for the leading
professional players that is unknown
in this country; pictures of Braid,
Vardon and Ray, with long chroni-
cles of their golfing feats fill the Brit
ish golf magazines. Yet, in spite or
the extraordinary attention showered
upon them, the British professionals
never overstep the bounds fixed by
caste

PLENTY OF CRICKET FOR
METROPOLITAN DISTRICT

NEW YORK. April 29.-Although
the retirement of the Belmont Cricket
Club will reduce the number of games
in the Halifax and Philadelphia cup
competitions this season, there will
otherwise be a big revival in cricket
in this city.
The visit of the Australians for
three games at the end of June and
the beginning of July is sure to
arouse interest. Montreal will play a
weeks cricket here from July to IL,
and on September and the
Schenectady Cricket Club will play
Germantown and Merton, respectively.
The Incognito Cricket Club, of Eng
land. will play a series of. games at
Haverford, Mannheim and ST Martins
in September, and, as the visitors will
bring strong team, some first-class
cricket should be witnessed. The
Halifax cup competition will open on
May II and the Philadelphia cup COM
petion on May 10.

SAN FRANCISCO, April %
"Snowy" Baker, the man who mas
succeeded Hugh d. Mcintosh as Aus
tralia,s leading fight promoter, is
possessed of the ambition to discover
an Australian born husky who can
be developed into the greatest world
beating heavyweight of all times.
In pursuance of his quest. Baker
has departed from the methods usual
ly followed by sporting managers IN
search of ring talent He has ap-
pointed agents through the land and
has advertised over the whole of Aus
tralia's 5000, 900 square miles of ter
ritory.
He has set forth that when choice
has been finally made for all the
would-be champions who have made
application and undergone inspection,
the fellow chosen will live in clover
for two years.
He will be clothed, fed and paid
good wages. and all that will be re-
quired of him viii be to pay strict
attention to the men employed to
teach him the science of ringmanship
and adhere strictly to the tenets OF
correct living.
Baker recognizes that the hunt for
his idol will call for all the patience
he is endowed with He expects set
backs and disappointments, and has
made up his mind not to be discour-
aged or turned aside from his pur.
pose.
According to news brought by re-
cent mail there were 200 applications

the managers face became one OF
frozen horror AS the ball went wild
the face was suffused with joy, and
as the players crowded whooping
round the bench the face bore a LOOK
of naughty superiority.

had come in from third, when 1 saw

was plumb crazy, but orders is or.
ders, and so in l came.
That's right, my boy doomed the
manager imperiously. When / give

seems right or wrong. I'm doing the
thinking for this club. I'll take the
blame if anything goes wrong, and
all you fellows need to do is to obey.
OF course, it might seem to you
youngsters who are not wised up on
the beauties of the inside game that
took an awful chance when / gave
that signal, but l had it all figured
out. l knew that pitcher was a ner-

I. MCARTY
FAVORED BY
FIGHT FANS
Moran, However, Is Said to Be
Fit for Tomorrow Nights
Bout.

NEW YORK, April 29.-All ar
rangements for the final staging of
the big bout tomorrow night at the
st. Nicholas A. C. between Luther
McCarty, the new heavyweight cham
pion, and Frank Moran, one of the
foremost contenders, have been COM
pleted by the Mcmahon Brothers,
who are staging the most important
pugilistic encounter of the week.
There have been many heavyweight
contests staged in this city, but few
have been offered the local fistic fans
where the admission price has been
within reach of all, such as the ten
round bout that is offered the local
patrons of boxing tomorrow night at
the big arena on West Sixty-sixth
street.
The fact that this will be MeCarty's
first appearance since winning the
championship has created unusual
interest on the part of the fans, who
are really anxious to see just how
much mccarthy has improved since
his last appearance here. q
1t is safe to predict that the fans
will see much improved boxer. The
former cow-puncher has developed
into what really looks to be about
the best of all the present day heavy
weights. He has been an apt pupil,
and has rounded into such a degree
that he may be called a fairly clever
boxer for big man.
His best asset is left hand,
though he counters with considerable
force with his right. Moran, on the
other hand, may furnish the uneX-
pected-a knockout-though it is not
likely to happen, as McCarty's foot
work may keep him out of danger
during their ten-round iaunt.
