The locals will soon get under way,
The first try-out has taken place, as
the Turn Table Rangers have now
completed their spring practice
Although no meeting as yet has been
held for tho organization Of team
IL is expected that the boys will get
together this week. Mr. Ball, who is
expected to manage the team. has
been busy at Dover the past week, and
for this reason IL was not deemed ad-

be formulated.
The sessions Of the Turn Table
Rangers are annual for this place
Everybody gets a chance TO timber up
Some tall limbering up has takeT
place already. The boys have gotteI

State II they do, remember 1910, whe
the locals rode roughshod over every
thing In the state, and could not
halted either until they had the chan
pionship of the State safely place
away in the strong-box.
With the material available tn
year, there are several combination
that can be worked to a fine advaI
tage, because there is plenty Of mat,
rial both for the infield and the on

can rest assured that the locals wi
have some slugging team in the field.

out TO Edge Moore any Saturday

how they ought to run their ball club.
It's better to hear 'em say There he

Elsmere begins the pennant race
away from home in the Church League
and will also finish it away from tho
pennant.
The middle weight title in basket
ball is still in the air. Most of the
fights this season have been about
even.
Clarence Foster may yet make up
his mind to finish the church basket
ball league season in time TO let the
boys practice for the 1917 football
season.
Some provision should be made TO
secure employment for the rockies
that come here to try for Dave Gear

About the only thing left for all the
72-year-old men who are rejected by
the navy is to play with Bill Wintrup's

property from the date that the as
sessment is madc, and chapter 406
defines the procedure for collecting
them. Under the present law taxes
are not lien on pcrsonai property,
and, because OF this, assessors have
often encountered much difficulty in
collecting them.
Another important law passed pro-
vides that tax levics shall lie in dol
lars and cents instead of mills. Tho
object OF this measure is to put an
end to the practice pursued in GER
tain districts of levying the same rate
In mills each year, regardless of an
increased valuation.
Chapter 227 reduces the interest
on certificates of delinquency from
10 to IL per cent, and chapter 231
increased the time within which petit
tions for reductions may be filed
with boards of equalization from one
week to Is days. A law was also
passed leaving 1t discretionary with
county courts when lands acquired by
a county shall be sold Under the
present law such lands must be sold
each year whether the market is good

Recent Important
Tax Legislation

Probably the most important taxa
tion measures passed by the recent
legislature are chapters 150, 400 and
4O7. The first provides the machin-
cry for holding elections when it is
necessary to increase tax levies be-
yond the 6 per cent tax limitation
amendment, and the other two create
lien on personal property and de-
fine procedure for its collection.
Under chapter $50 it Is provided
that elections may be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November of each year to vote on
the question of increasing either
state, county, municipal, district or
port taxes in excess Of the amount
prescribed by the per cent amend
ment Provision is madc that before
an election can be called, the tax
levying body shall certify that a ne
cessity exists for an increase. This
chapter also repeals the Bingham
law, for, with the 6 per cent amend
ment in operation, there is no further
need Of IL.
