.bENN|E kAUFF TO
 DESERT TO GIANTS
Ty Cobb Of Federal League Wants
 to Work for lawn KCCT1W.

Bennie Kauff, outfielder of the ln- dianapolis club and the all-round star of the Federal league, within the last week has made overtures to John Nc Graw with the idea of joining the Giants.
 Pretty positive information to that effect comes from Indianapolis. Kautf has sent his contract to the New York club and Harry Hempstead's lawyers are examining the document for a loophole through which Kauff can re- turn to organized baseball.
 Should the New York club find it ld- visable to make a fight for Kauff the legal battle will not devolve upon the Giants management, but ostensibly upon the Indianapolis club of the American association, from which Kauff jumped. After he has been signed by his old club Kauff will be sold or traded to the Giants. Jack Hendricks, manager of the Indianap- oils American association club some time ago asserted that he had arrang- ed with McGraw for a dicker that would hold good in the event Bennie made the flop back.
 Kauff has been referred to as a sec ond Ty Cobb, but such a comparison is rather too nthusiastic. However there is no denying that Bennie last sea- son developed into one of the fastest and best hitting outfielders in the bus mess, and his addition to McGraw's s staff would make the Giants pennant hopes considerably brighter.
 o. B. Has Double Incentive.
 The New York club, as a represen- tative of organized baseball, has a double incentive in it's desire to get Kauff. In the first place, it would obtain one of the most valuable play CTS in the game, who has been adver- tised throughout the country and who would be a big drawing card In the second place, it would take from the Feds their one, bright particular star Kauff has a fine record last season In addition to leading the league in hitting, with a percentage of .366 he stole 75 bases, as against 52 for his nearest rival, Bill Mex echnie of the Hoofeds. Bennie was also in receipt

YOUNG GIANTS WIN.

Dallas, Tex. March s.-The youth ful Giants beat the Dallas ball team to 3 Sunday, and ought to have won 10 to 3. They made enough base hits to have added four more tallies, but wasted runs in two ways. One wastage was due to bad coaching at third. The other was the result of constantly trying the hit and run and the double steal, which was not reprehensible, although it did not pan out.

Because OF imperfections IN the
income tax law numerous amend
mends will be recommended TO the
next Congress by the treasury de-
partment.
Official experts are quietly at work
on this statute. preparing report on
tie cruditfes 1t contains and OUT
lining proper legislative action to
correct them. The law is honey
combed with errors.
| A striking illustration OF this
thread of weakness that runs through
the whole gamut OF Democratic legts-
ilation occurs in one of the most vital
provisions of the income tax law
/. It relates to deductions that shall De
allowed in computing gross income
a basic element in this system of tax
alton
Paragraph B OF the law states that
! 'tin computing income for the pur-
pose OF the normal tax there. shall be
allowed as deductions" among other
things losses actually sustained dur
ing the year incurred in trade" etc
What is the meaning of the words I'm
trade? The courts must decide.
The phrase is capable of an infinite

For instance. 1t is said that II a

making his income tax return any

gross income; but losses from real
estate investment must not be de-
Quoted from gross income
From every part of the country
bitter complaints have been made
against this ruling. and the question
is TO be taken to the courts for final
adjudication. Whether the ruling is
of the statute that reflects upon the
intelligence of the political party re-
sponsibIe for it.
Nothing but heedlessness could
have permitted it. The tax payer
bears the burden of the bIunder. for
! it is a maxim in governmental af-
fairs that every doubt in a law is
by the administrative officers.
Errors in the income tax law are
too numerous to mention in detail.
Witness the fact that in the first few
weeks of its operation thousands
of applications for refund were made.
One of these has Just been allowed,
and is fine example of the laws I'M
certainty.
The department refunded to one
man who had paid $500 as income
tax all but sI2 OF that amour He
had had the help of a revenue officer
, in making his return. yet SO in
definite was the law that for fear OF
violation he paid the government
$500 instead of So.
Examination of the department
decisions on the income tax law
shows mass of contradictory
rulings Over and over again opin-
/ ions were reversed and reversed. be-
cause the terms of the law did not
admit of clear Interpretation.
Every day additional evidence IS
found that adds to the long list OF
Legislative blunders committed by
the Democratic administration. Flu
ture Congresses and the courts must
correct the mistakes. and meanwhile
the people must pay for them.
