Y it from the remarks being cast
hither and thither by organ
ICED baseball, the Federal League is
& minor league proposition But or
gained basebalfs own little rules
give the Federal League a major
league status.
These rules show the difference be-
tween a minor and major league. A
league that has to conform to a sal
airy limit and whose players are sub
ject TO draft by teams in another
league is a minor league A league
that has no salary limit and whose
players are not subject to draft is
major league.
Therefore the Feds slack up as a
major league. They pay unlimited
salaries and their players are not
subject to draft
7 T may be recalled that early in Jan
uary when the Feds began to loom
largely on the baseball horizon some
of the magnates of the organized
majors thought that a way to combat
the Feds would be to abolish the draft
rule. as applied to the Glass "A
teams, let these leagues pay unlimit-
ed salaries and thus lift them 20 the
major league classification.
For a time it looked as if the plan
would go through but some of the
magnates Of the majors were so sure
that the Feds would blow up before
the 1914 season opened that they
thought the move foolish one, Yet

mates declared that the players of the

AS the action to be taken at that time
Is entirely dependent upon the will of
the delegates who attend the con-
vention, it is uncertain what will be
done in the way of making nominal
tions. The Mitchell convention voted
to place a full state ticket in the field,

among the progressive workers of the
state to nominate only a candidate for

GROSS EARNINGS TAXES
NOW DECLARED ILLEGAL

Sioux Falls, s.. d., May Am i'm
!portant decision affecting South Da-
kota is that just handed down by Judge
Sanborn in the United State circuit
court of appeals. reversing the decision
or Judge Elliott of the federal district
court about a year ago in the express
rate cases. Between $780, 900 and $780,
900 in state taxes is involved and by
the decision the state is enjoined from
collecting that amount and can only
procure the nominal tax of about SO, 900
on the actual property owned by the
express companies within the state.
The action was brought by the
American and Wells-Fargo Express
companies against the state. The de-
c1sion as handed down, based on con-
stltutlonal grounds will affect the rail-
roads n telegraph companies doing
business within the state as we'll as the
express companies. The decision makes
assessments on actual property within
the state the only method of taxation
and the gross earnings of the
cannot be considered. The contention
of the express companies throughout
the litigation has been that they should
be taxed upon the value of the prop
erty owned by them within the state.
Whether or not the case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court by the
state a not yet been decided.

RUMoR OF SHORT LINE;
TWIN CITIES TO HILLS

Gettysburg. S. D., May Sired La
Plant. of Forest City has just return
ed from Chicago with the rumor that
the Northwestern railway will extend
its line directly west to Forest City
and across the Missouri river. This
would give a direct lin from the Twin
cities to the Black Hills and would
save about 100 miles in transit.
From Gettysburg the railway runs
south and then makes a circuitous line
to Pierre from Blunt. Should the con-
templated extension be completed it
would make the line through Redfeld
from Minneapolis and Chicago the
main line and save fully two hours IL
not three in the journey to the Black
Hills.
The Forest City Press says 1T is
rumored on good foundation that the
old grade to Forest City will be used.
This grade was built some years ago
and will nee little Improvement to
make it ready for the rails.

Mr.; Rockefeller did not appear at
his offices today. His secretaries said
that. although he was not ill ne was
greatly broken up by the ordeal Of
criticism he had undergone in con-
nection with h Colorado mine strike.
They said Mr.. Rockefeller felt he had
been made to bear the brunt of
criticism and he hoped in the near flu
ture to devise some plan whereby he
may relieve the situation, so far as the
demonstrations against him are con-
cerned.

Sinclair and another woman she had
gone to prison rather han pay a fine

Upton Sinclair has inaugurated a.
hunger strike. He says he has eaten
nothing but an orange and a dish of
ice cream since Monday.
Last night Mr.. Rockefeller issued a
statement characterizing as Infamous
any allusion to conditions in Colorado
as "Rockefeller's war" The conflicts
in Colorado were not between mine
owners and strikers, he asserted, but
between h strikers and the state
troops.
For more than an hour Berkman and
other spectators denounced Rockefeller
in the bitterest terms. Then. singing
French and Italian airs, the crowd fell
into marching order and swept north
ward toward Union Square. They
hooted the capitalists name as they
marched. Banners bearing the letters
II. w. W. were conspicuous in the
line.

GIVES METHOD OF STARTING
BLUE GRASS PASTiIRE

Bookings, s. D., May "a Douglas
county inquirer asks if a blue grass
pasture may be started as late as June
Is. The following reply is offered by
Agronomist A. N. Hume, Of the state
college:
Blue grass should be put in earlier
than June Is in your locality. 1t may
be put in much the same as timothy
with small grain. In fact, it may be
put in with timothy and with a very
light seeding of oats. Use one-half
bushel of oats per acre and mixture Of
grass seed, say five pounds of timothy
with 10 pounds of blue grass.
II am aware that this is q rather
heavy seeding Of blue grass. In fact.
o may use less of the blue grass il
you decide that 10 pounds is too ex-
pensive. However. a thick seeding is
more likely to give a good stand. These
grasses put on in the early spring with
a thin seeding of oats will cover the
ground Immediately. In order to give
the grass the best possible chance. cut
the oats for hay. Thus you have some
o from the land the first al The
grasses will v he land the second
year. The blue grass will gradually
take advantage Of the timothy"
