when IS A BASEBALL
PASS NOT A PASS?
War Tax of $6.16 Will Probably Be
Charged on 'Deadheads"
Next Season.

New York, Nov. S.-A baseball pass
in the future will cost the holder s6.16,
accoding to John B. Foster, secretary
Of the Giants, who has suggested
plan for simplifying the collection OF
the government war tax on amuse-
ments. which. IL perfected and adopt
ed, might work to the convenience OF
the government, the amusement pro-
moters and the patrons alike.
He suggests the sale and circula-
ton OF stamp books of the various
denominations necessary to meet the
different admission prices, which
could be used at all amusement places
and would probably be very much
like the present postage stamp.
The idea is that these stamps could
be used at a ball game, theater or
other amusement place, and the hold
er would have less trouble while the
government would have uniform
system of collection. At the same
time the amusement promoter would
have an easier time accounting for
the tax. The only thing necessary
for the success Of the plan would be
some means of canceling the stamps,
to prevent their use over again.

AND WHY NOT THE
CAMOUFLAGE BALL!

We have had the spit ball. emery
ball. shine ball and various other
weird deliveries, but when the sol
diers who are playing the national
game behind the trenches return we
may expect something new. They are
likely to bring back with them the
camoufage ball.
The pitcher viii provide himself
with a glove in which are inserted
watercolor paints, and as soon as the
new sphere is tossed out he will color
1t to resemble the background. This
will render it invisible to the batter.

Wealth Must Pay

There is little doubt that under the
system Of taxation as 1t developed in
this country for fifty years after the
Civil War an undue share Of the bur
den of taxation rested upon the masses
of the people. The present movement
represents a swing Of the pendulum in
the other direction and an endeavor to
readjust the tax system by imposing
upon accumulated wealth a larger
share. Like all reactions this seems
likely TO 20 further and faster than is
desirable or warranted. This is espe-
cially true in the present crisis, when
the financial needs Of the government
are real and urgent. Under such cir
cumstances considerations that at
other times would have weight are
brushed aside by imperative necessity,
and the most lucrative and easiest
sources Of revenue seized upon. A
carefully balanced and scientific tax
programme, which shall take into &C
count the claims and needs of the
states as well as the Federal govern
rnent. and Of different industrial and
economic groups. will probably have
10 wait now for calmer times. but il
is an ideal toward which all thought
full men may we'll set their faces

u. S. Leads in Shanghai Trade

For the first time the United States
has assumed the lead in the aggregate
trade between Shanghai and any single
country. Complete figures for the cal
endar year 1915 show that England and
Japan Low rank second and third, re-
spectively. What this means in rela-
ton to the entire trade of China is
brought out more clearly when one con-
siders that more than AZ per cent OF the
total trade of China in 1915 was trans
acted through the port OF Shanghai.
Furthermore, the United States
bought more Chinese products in 1916
than any other two countries combined,
and there is every reason TO believe
that II ships had been available 10
transport freight at more normal rates
the total for American-Shanghai trade
would have beer far greater. An UNI
precedented number of American man
ufacturers and exporters have been
establishing connections in that city
and others have sent their personal
representatives TO investigate condi-
tions or to co6perats with their already
appointed agents. - FOREIGN Trade

Germans Kill
Half Their Pigs

BERLIN, July 81 correspondence
German food experts have come to the
conclusion that a dead pig is better
than a live one, at least in war times.
Intimate and exhaustive studies of the
porcine appetite have disclosed that the
pig is mans chief competitor in con-
Stunning valuable foodstuffs. Conse-
quently about half the pigs in Germany
have been killed.
The War Food Bureau to-day told a
correspondent Of The Associated Press
that while the number of swine within
the empire was diminishing census
figures of the last quarter showed that
the nation was richer by a hundred
thousand head of cattle than it was on
March l. On June l il was said there
was within Germany total of l,400,
900 head of cattle, while on December
/, 1912, there were 2l,l00,000
The German bureau also claims that
the killing of Of pigs has not jeopar-
died the future resources of the ma
tion, as pigs are rapid breeders and
females have been spared to a large
extent.
The experts who recommended the
wholesale killing Of pigs pointed out
in their recommendation that the pig
in peace times was literally fed grains,
potatoes. cabbage and beets, which just
now form some Of the principal articles
of the German diet. The feeding Of
grains to pigs was regarded as being
especially deplorable, it being found
that in the case of barley, for instance,
four-ffths of the nutritive value of the
grain was lost when so expended. Bar
ley now has been diverted TO other
consumers, where, it is declared, it
will prove 100 per cent efficient.
