To thwart this Johnston stole on the
first pitch. hoping to draw a throw that
would give Gardner chance to score.
Brooklyn refused to fall for il. Catcher
Miller sent a fast return to Grimes and
Gardner stayed OH third. Johnston
could have easily reached second When
about ten feet from the bag he stopped
dead. Grimes whirled toward second
and a good throw would have easily
retired Johnston. but he threw to CEN
terfield, and Gardner scored. That run
spelled the finish to Brooklyn.
The old dope is all right il every
thing runs to form, but it seldom pur-
sues that course on the ball field.

The moral miracle performed by
our co-operators at Rochdale is that
they had the good sense to differ with

other without separating. 49,. -. --..,.
In most working classes, and indeed,
in most public societies of all classes.
a number of curious persons are found
who appear born under disagreeable
star. They breathe hostility, distrust
and dissension. Their tones are all
ways harsh. Their organs Of speech
are cracked and no melodious sound
can come out of them; their native
note is a moral squeak. The restless
convolutions of their skin denote a
difference of opinion" their very lips
hang in the form of carp" and the
muscles of their faces are drawn up
in the shape Of an amendment

attempting patiently to improve that

seeking strength to use it in mutual
defense, they look for weakness to ex-
pose it to the common enemy. They
make every associate sensible of per-
petual dissatisfaction until member

Fiction. They believe that co-opera-
ton is another word for organized If

blind the way, imparting courage to
the timid and confidence to the de-

the toes Of the gouty, telling the fear
full that they may well be afraid, and
assuring the despairing that it is all

SEVERANCE TAX TO
CREATE SOLON FIGHT

Tuesday began a busy week at the
State Constitutional Convention at Ba-

The severanre tax bill was reported
back and a warm fight is anticipated
between the administration leaders and
the owners Of Louisiana's natural re-
sources.
The severance tax bill was reported
cent tax on the value of the natural
resources severed from the land.
A flat provision is contained in the
Pleasant sub-comittee report which fix
es a rate Of 3 percent on oil and gas,
and two percent on other natural re-
sources. There also is a provision for
royalty tax Of two percent as lieu
tax on enhanced land value and a di-
vision Of the three percent tax by which
the parishes producing oil and gas re-
ceive percent up to $300.000
1t is understood that the administra-
ton leaders will request the taxation
committee TO rescind its action in a.

request. if made, is likely to meet with
stiff opposition, as delegates from gas

permanent Improvements such as roads
and bridges.
A compromise may be effected, by
which the three mill levy is written in
to the constitution to become effective
January. 1925. and to be distributed
one-half mill to the parishes and two
and a half mills to the state general
fund. Such compromise would en-
able the governor to carry out his ar
rangement with natural resource inter

percent, which is in addition to al
other taxes, during the life of his ad
