Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1917-02-09


Omaha, Feb 8.-To the Editor of
The Bee: There was recently intro
duced into congress revenue bill
by Hon. Warren Worth Bailey of
Pennsylvania. 1t was framed along
different lines from others that have
been introduced Though it will not
posals in it that ultimately will find
favor among the people.
Mr.. Bailey's bill provides for the
raising of $2O0,OOO,OOO, apportioned
among the states, territories and Dis
trict of Columbia on the basis of ,their
respective populations in 1910.
The constitution provides that "All
direct taxes shall be levied in proper
ton to population" This provision
is Ineligible only upon one theory.
That is that 'direct taxes" here means
direct taxes upon the several states.
To say that direct tax upon the
citizen may be levied in proportion
to population would be self-evident
absurdity.
1t is not presumed that this method
Is absolute in its justice. A state, for
instance, might have class of popu-
lation far less capable OF forming a
basis for taxation than another of the
same population. Georgia or Ala
bama, with large population of dis
franchised negroes, could hardly be
said to be as capable of contributing
its equal share of federal revenue with
Illinois or Michigan, largely made up
of great industries, even though the
population numerically might be the
same. On this account it might be
that the single takers contention that
such taxes should be raised upon the
value of the land would more nearly
meet the demands of fairness, since
it is recognized fact that land values
truly reflect the general character and
enterprise of the population, But it

WHAT SHALL BE THE RIGHTS
OF A CHILD BORN OUT
OF WEDLOCK?

When a girl who is not married
brings a child into the world what
shall be the rights of that child I'M
der the laws Of the state of Illinois?
Shall such a child stand on the
same level, having the same property
rights as any child regularly born
from a regularly married wife and
husband?
These are questions the Illinois
legislature is threshing out in con-
nection with a bill concerning chill
dren born out of wedlOck. It is house
bill $40, introduced by Rep. S. P.
Roderick, endorsed by the Illinois
Committee on Social Legislation. A
brief for it by Judge Harry M. Fisher
of the morals court was made public
today.
The new law proposes to take the
word bastard" off the statute books.
The theory is that a boy or girl born
out of wedlock can't help it that the
parents didn't have a license to get
married, and therefore the sins of the
parents should not be visited on the
heads of the children through the
use Of the word bastard"

PUNCH TO WIN FOR
SOX, X,SAYSROWLAND
Expects Hard Battle From
Giants-To Rely on
Two Pitchers
COLLINS ENTIRE INFIELD

NEW YORK, Sept 29.--Clarence Row
land manager of the White SoX, does not
believe that the Ban johnson circuit so
far outclasses the National League as to
make White SoX worlds series victory all
most certain.
Rowland believes the Giants will prove
the most worthy representative the National
League has had since the New York Club
almost trimmed Boston back in 1912. He
believes Ferd Schupp and Slim Sallee will
give the White Sox oodles of trouble, and
he declares Poll Perritt will bear plenty of
watching.
Rowland, however is eXuding confidence
because he believes his team carries the
most consistent punch, light though il may
be, in the big leagues. Admitting the power
in the Giants attack, he pointed out that
the White SoX always have been able to
win when victories were needed
MY pitching staff is excellent" he said,
but it is not so good as that of the Red
SoN In speaking of pitching staff, ref
erence to Boston must include four men
who have been at their best all summer.
Ruth, Shore, Mays and Leonard have
pitched the Red Sox to their spot My
pitching staff, speaking of 1t as a staff, is
just two men"
And there Rowland stopped. The two
men are still among the mysteries Whether
he referred to Cicotte and Russell or Cicotte
and Faber was not disclosed. Undoubtedly
It was one of the two combinations, with
the odds heavy that the pair will do all the
White Sox curving in the coming big
contests.
Rowland also picked out Eddie Collins
for some praise.
Charley HerZog Is a great second base
man." said the White SoX lie tder, but those
critics who were picking Herzog as the
equal of Collins don't take into consideration
the heights Collins is able to reach. He is
the greatest short-series player in baseball.
and il will come out in this series He is
my whole infield. He carries those boys
along in the tough spots He is not hitting
at his Cld-tme speed simply because he is
sacrificing everything to win ball games.
The old punch Is there--if anything, he is
better balplayer than he was in Phla-
delphia."

SCHALK, CATCHING FOR WHITE SOX,
MCARTY AND RARIDEN FOR GIANTS
Chicago Backstop Will Probably Work Through
Entire Series While New York Men Will
Have Chance to Rest Up
By GRANTLAND RICE

DIAMOND W. SCHALK, the Harvel
~ Marvel, is only twenty-five years old.
Yet he has served no fewer than six years
under the Big Top and is now an old story
in the record.
Schalk, in this series, must tackle single
understanding either the gloved or the
barred hand-two Giant sluggers in Lew
McCarty and Bill Rarlden, who will COM
bine their repertoire for the series.
Schalk's Ability
For the last two years Schalk has been
the most valuable catcher in baseball He
is no slashing hitter, but he is often
timely tntry at bat. Leaving his batting
out for the moment, in all other ways he
is one of the games stars
Schalk is not only n fine mechanical
catcher arrayed with a stout young arm
He Is also tireless worker, keen hustler
en- aggressive fighter and cool, quick
thinker
He is a rare type to have back Of the bat
racing the field. He not only keeps his
pitchers working at top speed. but he in
jects pepper into the entire play
Schalk belongs to the weii-knit stocly
tribe. He Is under the average height, but
Is well put up, and cat is very little
quicker.
He is also good for 1876 or 40 games
year, rare attribute IN any catcher.
He has caught more games in the last
five years than almost any other man has
caught in the last six or seven.
McCarty and Rariden
In Lew McCarty and Bill Rariden Nc
Graw has all the advantage upon attack
McCarty will bat .2SO to Schalk's 225. Rar-
iden is good for .265 or .27O.
Both Giant catchers can wallop the ball
and with the pair on hand the Giant often
sive gathers in number of increased points.
McCarty suffered a broken leg early in
the year, and while he has been back in
the game for a spell there is still the sugges-
tion of limp. He is first-class catcher
in all mechanical ways, a cool worker and
one of the gamest of them all.
McCarty is more of hustler than Rari-
