Governor Oddie. in an interview
published in the Tonopah Bonanza,
a few days ago, had the following
to say OF the work OF the Tax com
mission:
Il attended a meeting of the Tax
commission yesterday and | have to
say they are doing excellent work.
This year that body will double val

half. We have had some difficulty
convincing some of the large tax
pavcrs but the cattle men and NINE
operators have come to see the stu
alton in the right light and now we
are working on a revision OF land
appraisementS. This will add Si4.-
100000 to the state roll and every
county will share i'll the improve
ment. Nyc. Esmeralda, Ormsby and
Storey counties have always borne
the brunt OF the burden. but the
other, will share it with these COun-
ties. However. it will take several
years to rcadjust values. but when
the revision is completed am con
lident that the taxpayers Will be
satisfied.

TR|-STATE LEAGUE
To HOLD SESSION
Plans Are Under Way to Develop
Young Players Next Season;
Low Salary Limit

On or about January 12 the Tri-
State League will meet in Harrisburg
for the annual powwow. An old-time
gathering of baseball managers and
players is expected. Announcement
comes from George Graham. president
of the Tri-State. that there will be
something doing this year.
All over the circuit star players are
being sold. This is one indication that
the salary limit in the Tri-State next
season will be $1,000. Players who
have good averages will be turned over
to leagues paying higher salaries.
However, among the minors there will
not be many organizations with sal
airy limit far above that of the Tri-
State.
Every manager of the Tri-State is
going after young blood. Major
league leaders will help the Tri-State
land promising youngsters. The Gra-
ham league promises to be big help
in landing players for the National
and American Leagues.

MILLIONS BACK
Of FEDERAL LEAGUE
All Peace Stuff Is Off According
to James A. Gilmore;
Fight to a Finish
By Hoban


Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 31.-With a back
ing of s3,000,00O, invested in Federal
League teams, President James A. Gil
more says the fight must so on until
the finish. President Gilmore was
asked as to the ultimate aim of the
Independent organization.
Recognition as q major league is
what we are after" said Gilmore.
Recognition with territorial rights. [
always have favored peace, but ] want
to tell you honestly, that there never
has been the slightest chance of
peace pact being signed. All that
peace stuff just before the Omaha
meeting was tommyrot.
I'VE are ready to talk peace on our
terms-not organized basebalfs. How
ever, we are prepared to fight for our
rights, and l think we are we'll equip
ped for the battle. We have the finan-
ces and the fighters, and sooner or lat
er we will invade New York with u
modern plant. There is more than
one millionaire in our circuit. As L
said, we have more than $3,G5O,OOO
invested. Now, can you picture, in
your widest dreams, us quitting?
"Withal the only thing said by an
organized baseball man lately that [
heartily approve of was Schuyler Brit
tons suggestion that the organized
baseball parks be CLOSED for the COM
ing season.
"Why shouldn't they close up rather
than face the fight that's in front of
them? Think of how we would starve
to death if all the major league parks
closed? Just imagine, no place to go
| but the Federal League, with the pick
of two major leagues in it's ranks"

FEDERALS Will
WELCOME PEACE
President of Sloofeds De-
clares War is Getting
Burdensone.

St Louis, Sept 26.-President e. A
Steininger of the ST. Louis Federal
league club admitted Yesterday that
the Federal league probably would be
absorbed by organized baseball or
some arrangement would be made
during the off season whereby the
warning baseball factions would bury
the hatchet.
According to Steininger the ques-
ton of seeking a compromise with the
powers that be In organized baseball
has been discussed informally by club
owners in the independent league. 1t
Is the general opinion in the Federal
league. he said. that baseball war
should end.
Weeghman Differs.
If what Steininger SAYS reflects the
sentiment of Federal magnates,
Charles Weeghman Of Chicago must
have been speaking for himself when
he said few days ago:
I'VE cannot afford to listen to peace
talk. We haven't enough major
leaguers to make it certain that we
would be considered a first class or
ganization. Hence. should we enter
organized baseball. we would be given
a classification lower than the Nation
al and American. and this we cannot
afford"
Unprejudiced Federal fans admit
the league is not Of major caliber yet
and they smile when thew refer to
Gilmore's demand that the Feds be
admitted to the worlds series.
1t requires vivid Imagination to
picture such men as Carr. Laporte,
McKechnie and Rauden Of the Hoo
feds as being worlds series material
