many years. They better get wise
to the game laws, however, for
the conservation commission has
ruled that the season does not
open until June /.

HURLEY NINE WINS FIRST
HOME GAME OF SEASON
IrOnwOOd Quality Shop Team Defeated
by 6 to S Score. Bessemer
Here Tomorrow.

Hurley won the first game OF the
season on the home diamond by
taking the Quality Shop nine of
Ironwood into camp last Sunday
by the score of 8 to 5. A fair-sized
crowd was in attendance.
Both teams presented patched
mp lineups and many changes in
positions were made during the
game, which was replete with ex
element but from the point of good
baseball fell little short. Numer-
GUS errors graced the score sheets
when it was all over, both sides
contributing its share.
Ironwood third baseman, Bon
azza, scored the feature of the game
when he lined out a three Dagger
with the bases full in the eighth
inning and cleaned the bags. The
rally threatened to put the skids
under Hurley, but as the visitors
had but one run TO their credit up
to this inning the four runs in the
eighth brought their total to but
Eve, one run short of tie.
Lubi and Schwab divided the
pitching honors for Hurley. Iron
wood gathered in seven hits, FIVE
of which came with Lubi in the
box and two when Schwab served
'em. Ironwood used two beavers,
Wennersten and SEVERN. Hurley
hit the ball for IL safe ones.
In their first time up Hurley
scored one when Secor lead off with
a hit, stole second and scored on
an error. Hurley scored another
in the fourth and in the fifth added
three more on four hits. In the
seventh Faul singled, stole second
and scored on Schwab's single,
bringing Hurley's total score up to
six.

Keep Ont Capital.
Reiterating arguments that the ef-
feet Of high surtax rates is to keep
new capital out of productive enter
prise, and to.prevent normal business
transactions with the, rasult that nat:
ural industrial development is re-
tArded, Mr.. Mellon adds:
The idea seems to, be prevalent
that in taxing large incomes, only the
person receiving the income, and who
Is to pay the tax is really concerned.
This is a mistake. For whatever the
government takes, In the way Of tax,
out Of any income, which would 9TH
erwise be saved and invested. and
thereby become a part Of h capital
and Of the wealth Of the nation. at
fects not, SO much the individual from
swhomoit is taken as it does the whole
people of the country, in the direct
loss Of productive capital.
After all. the wealthy Of the coun-
try, upon which all the activities and
the property Of our people depends, is
made UP of the private property of
the Individual citizens-of all the peo-
ple-and anything that unnecessarily
takes away from the accumulated
property necessarily injuriously affects
the people as a whole"
Corporations Fix 1t.
Discussing the proposed adjustment
OF the tax on business profits, Mr..
Mellon suggests no specific rates, but
calls attention that the repeal of the
excess profits tax made necessary an
increase Of 2 1-2 per- cent in the cor
poration income tax and that this with
the capital stock tax make the total
levy on corporations approximately Is
per cent.
When we remember" he writes
that the great bulk Of the business
Of the country, both large and small,

and that the net income must largely

ject to surtax, in the hands Of persons

the resulting taxation to persons en-

heavy. For instance a stockholdel

pays about rs per cent on hts divi.
dends; while a stockholder subject tc
also per CEN surtax would be taxed
about IS per cent on such profits"
