THE public service corporations OF
West Virginia have paid taxes the past
year to the amount OF s. Ola, SSS SO. This
looks as il they are doing pretty nearly
their fair share. But justice will not be
done in the collection OF revenues IN this

1T is announced that strenuous effort
will be made at the coming session OF the
West Virginia Legislature 10 enact what
is known as the full crew lava measure
that would compel the railroads of the
State to place upon all OF their trains an
extra trainma1. II is to be hoped that
our legislators will have the courage TO
vote against such requirement and
allow the railroads TO be the judges OF
the size OF crews needed to man their
trains. We are informed that il this law
should be passed it would place upon the
b. & O. Railroad alone an extra burden
of $4,000 year-amounting TO conSid
erably over million for all the railroads
OF the State-and there would be abSo-
lutely nothing to show for the expenditure
OF this vast sum except the carrying OF a
useless employee backwards and for
wards. These are the times when rail-
roads should practice economy-it will
be unwise and disastrous to pile unnec-
eSSary burdens upon them.

The New York Post says that a definite
propaganda against President Wilson and
his administration is in progress in this
country, and that il is the work of certain
prominent Democrats who are antago-
nistic TO the President chiefly because
they are unable to use him as they desire.
We can very readily believe that this
is true. Its signs are manifest. Added
10 the Democrats above referred to are
certain others OF the party who are being
deceived and miSled, and OF course the
Republicans as an entirety and a very
considerable part OF "oig business" that
finds better picking under Republican
methods than under Democratic rule.
This country has been sailing along for
good many years on a false business
basis. The Democratic administration is
doing The necessary but unpopular work
of setting matters straight, and ifthe peo-
pie and wise they will keep President
Wilson are his administration on the job
until the work is completed.

OUR State authorities say that from
million to million and quarter of ad-
ditional revenue will have TO be raised
for West Virginia by the Legislature soon
to assemble, if our institutions are to be
properly supported. There ought to be
no difficulty in finding this revenue-in-
deed, the answer is easy Put proper
tax on the production Of coal, gas and oil
Every class of property in West Viz
ginia is paying far share OF taxation ex-
cept the corporations that are growing
richer and richer by drawing from their
natural fountains these three great sources
OF wealth. The railroads are faxed, per-
haps, 10 the limit; farm lands and other
real estate carry heavy burdens; no item
of personal property escapes. And vet
no Legislature has ever been able 10 pro-
vide a method OF properly taxing coal and
oil and gas, the very things that ought TO
pay the greatest proportion.
We do not believe that there ought 10
be cheesepanng economy in West VIZ
ginia when there is available such per-
fectly proper source of revenue as pro-
duction tax on coal and gas and oil.

Pitcher Who Cut Mar
guards Winning String
Defeats SuperbaS.
ROBBIE'S MEN LOSE
CHANCE TO CLIMB
Dell, Appleton and Pfeffer Rush
Into Fray, but Chicago
Will Not Be Denied.

Chicago. Aug. 11.-When Roger
Bresnahan wants a man to encourage
his hirelings or check a winning streak
of the foe. he is sure TO call on Jimmy
Lavender. For performing special du-
ties Lavender is the cream of the
Windy City guards. It was Lavender
who checked the meteoric career OF
RUDE Marquard. of the Giants, IN l"lZ.
Ii has been Lavender who has per
formed other deeds of merit since that
time, and it was Jimmy Lavender who
stopped the Brooklyn Superbas at West
Side Field this afternoon.
He shone forth as savior, for he
not only prevented the Superbas from
sweeping the series. but put an END
to a campaign which has Melted Rob
bie's men eight consecutive victories
over the Bruins. There might have
been lacking the technique and care
full detail of the master in his work,
but it served, and the score was D
20 2.
First place in the pennant race IS
leading the Superbas quite as merry a
dance as did second position IN the
carly stages of the campaign. victory
to-day would have raised BROOKLYN TO
a tie for first place with the Phlllles,
who had day of rest.
The Cubs borrowed a page from the
Brooklyn book and simply rolled over
the foe. They charged in close forma-
ton, smashed down a lead Of one run
and then proceeded to spread havoc
in all directions until victory was as
sured They did all their heavy work
in the second inning. when mad vol
lev of hits and one of those uncaHny
throws which so often accompany pat
ting rallies were all iumbled up into
q merry melange. In the other eight
innings they were unable to break
through the defence of the visitors,
but what did il matter?
WheeZer Dell and yes, YOU guessed
it Ed Appleton appeared in their ia
nous brother act. Later on, and not
because OF any weakness of Appleton,
Jeff Pfeffer hurled a few over the
plate. Roger Bresnahan and other
witty Chicago coachers invited Apple
ton TO throw them the ball. but the
Texan has a good memory. He stead
fastlv declined to repeat his s.. Louis
performance. Ed SAYS he will live that
throw down if he has 10 die doing IT.
Dell had an extremely interesting eH-
perience in the two innings he had
charge. He was slammed for four per-
fectly good hits, gave a base on ball
and made a heinous error trying to
force a runner at third. His throw
passed over Getz's head. Heine Zim-
norman singled and went 70 second on
a safe wallop by Williams. McLarry
hunted, and Dell, by way Of getting
Zimmerman at third. hurled TO the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-12
Attendance at Park of Tip
Tops Picks Up When
Scale of Prices
Is Cut.

Two jitney baseball-10 cents-was
instituted at Washington Park, BROOK
lyn, by the Brooklyn Federal League
Club mana, cement yesterday, with al
most three thousand spectators attend
ing the game between the Tip Tops
and the Kansas City Packers at the
cut rate prices. The game furnished
an exciting finish. as the Tip Tops
came from behind in the ninth inning
after two men were put to bat out
three runs and win by Z score OF
to 6.
Organized baseball checkers were
distributed about the grounds to record
the fans enterinr the park Their hg-
ures in the case of the blcacher crowd
in centre field. in which seat could
be had for 10 cents. varied consider
ably. The Brooklyn officials announced
that there were 1884 persons IN the
stand, but the rival reckoners pulled
the total down to 507. However. the
stand was filled. with onl- few empty
spaces being seen.
The 25-ctnt section contained $40
persons. while the 50-cent stands. IN
the rear of the graz dstand numbered
1853. Seventy-hvc were seated in the
reserved seats behind the boxes. which
contained twenty-four onlc okers at 81
each.
Robert B. Ward, president of the Tip
Tops. declared that he was pleased at
the attendance at the low admission
prices. He stated that the public
wanted cheat baseball and that the ex-
pertinent would prove successful. lie
was certain that there were many new
faces in the stands.
During the early innings Of the game
the Tip Tops displayed the bad field
ing that hos characterized their play
ing for the last week. Five errors
were charged to Lee Magoe's men. and
all of them gave the Packers five runs
One of Magee's two misrlays allowed
two Kansas City runners to scamper
over the pate. while Fred Smith also
made two ioozles, and harry Smith
the catcher. threw wildly over second
base Kansas City played a sparkling
fielding game, Kenworthy ard Goodwin
cutting down many hard balls around
the keystone sack
Nick Cullop, of Kansas City and
George Walker, of the Tip Tops, were
knocked out of the box. George Wiltse
succeeded Walker in the sixth, and his
pitching during the remaining innings
gave the Packers only one hit. Wiltst
entered the game with the bases filled
but force out at the plate and another
at second base turned the Kansas City
nine back without run being scored
Fred Smiths wild toss in the seventh
gave Kansas City its last run.

and Williams betook himself to thir J,
McLarry going TO second. Archer shot
safety to right, Williams counting
and the others advancing, while Pie

After Lavender was called out on
strikes Good flied long and deep to
Wheat, McLarry scoring. Fisher
banged triple TO left, tallying Archer
and Phelan. Schultz ended the night
mare by grounding to Daubert. That
was all the scoring done by the Cubs,
but one good inning covers a multitude
of goose eggs. Appleton was effective
during the FIVE innings he pitched and
allowed only two hits. Pfeffer had il
easy in the one frame he labored.
Now Lavender, as told before, did
rot pitch a perfect game. He WIS
nicked for eight hits. and many indeed
held the scorer too critical in giving
Bob Fisher an error. But the Cubs
we're in behind their pitcher to the last
and took a keen delight in moving
down hard hit balls. Heinie thinner
man and Bob Fisher were especially
active.
The initial Brooklyn tally came in
the second frame. Wheat doubled to

He scored on Hummel's long fly. In
the eighth Casey Stengel hit in place
