TAX $500 TNCOUESp
Another Resource Uncovered for the
Government FInancIers.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir: As
. taxpayer and one exceedingly harassed
by the various national. State and city
imposts. let me extend thanks TO you for
the attitude THE Sun has taken on the
subject OF Government extravaganza.
What We need in this country Is not
more taxes but more economy. What we
need is less pork barrel and log rolling
and more-I am about TO say, ] will say.
some approach to--statesmanship. What
We need Is less demagogism and some effort
to relieve the community OF the awful
load Of taxation 1t Is now carrying.
But II we must have more taxes piled
upon us, why not extend the present In
come tax to include all incomes over
s5002 In time of war the State calls
upon all. rich and poor. to give their
time, their lives. to the country; why.
then, should any one object to paying his
share OF the public burden OF taxation?
The returns from the income tax show
that the wealth OF this country Is not In
the hands OF a few. 1t Is widely scat
tered.
VIII any real American object to be-
Ing treated as man, not pauper. and
to have to bear the same burden as others
bear? I think not
I believe In America and Americans.
/ do not think that the man who would
seek the opportunity to give his life or
limb for his country would seek to evade
the payment OF a few dollars tax. Yet
these few dollars paid by many would
relieve the business man OF an intoler-
able load. and its payment would be re-
paid many times to the poorer man In the
help 1t would be to him In salaries and
wages.

MUSIC'S ASYLE.
The American Beethoven" on the I'm
cOuragement OF Orchestras

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir. An
editorial article In THE SUN mentions the
sad fate OF the greater number OF music
societies and orchestra associations
Though the state Of affairs is lamen-
table, | think ! can suggest means TO
inaugurate a substitute mode OF encour-
aging musical performances OF high
class quality and also OF insuring a bet
ter attendance.
As this is mere letter shall simply
give an outline of my idea:
Let one very wealthy person. either a
gentleman or gentlewoman. pay for a
suitable hall In "A city or village. This
established, call the hall Muslc's Asyle.
Allow any musician and small societies
OF quartet pieces, small orchestras, to use
the hall for private or public rectals.
They can play whatever they like. Ad-
vert!se. through friends and the press,
the day and hour OF each performance
Charge no more than 20 cents seat,
which money receipts go to the must
clans, to no one else. The ushers &c. to be
taken from the musicians themselves The
only expenses for the players would be
for the lighting during evening recitals.
This idea OF mine would draw more
music lovers to the concerts for the rea-
son that charge OF 81 or SO is too much
for real music lover TO pay. Also an
unknown musician would have freedom
to show his powers. a composer could
have his works produced by his friends
and a new symphony would find an audi
ence more easily.
This might seem Utopian. However.
why should the box Office superseds the
real appreciation OF those who cannot af-
ford the high admission fee? Let music
be produced and composed for muscs
sake.
think the reason why the societies
have been obliged to give up their reci-
tails Is due TO the fact that their entrance
charges were too high. 1t was money
made fair music Nit away. II all could
hear II Just for the delight of II ! think
larger audiences would be seen to go.

The stormy Petrol In New York waters.

To the EDITOR OF THIS SuS--ST' II Mr.
Dolbesr who inquired In Tue SuS about
the stormy petrels. Will take a Coney Island
or, better a Sandy Hook boat on a quiet
afternoon In July or August, he will see
thousands OF these birds In the lower bay
While sailing there have noticed them In
quantities every summer. They come In to
feed and are more commonly scen In good
than In bad weather. II Is very interesting
to watch them apparently run on the water
they fly with their feet down touching
the water. They are very common out at
sea but quite as common In the lower bay.

the little gray guls have shown up, but not

DEFEATED BLOOMER
GIRLS Il TO 3

once upon a time there was a
baseball team, called THE BLOOM
Err GIRLS. who claimed that they
could play ball. This team was
composed of three men and six girls.
There was a little town in Florida
called Lakeland that had ball
team and the GIRLS CD had heard
they We're easy picking so one day,
March 90 1914, they journeyed ov-
er to this little town and crossed
bats with the Lakeland baseball
team. Well when the smoke had
cleared away the score was l l to 8
IN favor of Lakeland A better day
could not have been picked out for
the game, just cool enough. just
warm enough, friendly clouds OBJ
scuring the sun from the players
eyes. The game opened with the
Boomers at the bat and they start
ed off well, getting a run in the
first inning. Lakeland got three in
their half of the same inning. The
Boomers added two more in the
third and that was ,he limit of their
scoring. The Lakeland boys got
six runs in the second, two more in
the third making total of eleven
and then they thought they would
get some bunting practice. OF
course we cannot take yesterdays
game as sample of what our boys
are going to do this season but they
seem to have more snap and team
work than ever and with the prac-
tce they will get before the regular
season opens it looks as though
Lakeland will have the best ball
team it has ever had. 1T is worthy
of support and We hope every lover
of the sport will come to the front
so that every Thursday afternoon
this summer we can all look for
ward to a real ball game.
