SMGOT HAS SIMPLE
PLAN FOR TAX BILL
Senator's Measure Would
Levy On Only Six
Sources

Washington, Aug. 30.--A new ba-
sis of taxation to take the place Of
the House revenue measure and prac-
tically all present tax laws was pro-
posed today by Senator Smoot, Re-
publican, Utah. who announced he
was preparing a bill embodying the
plan which he estimated would yield
$3,S95,OOO,O00 this year. He added
that he would take the question up
'with the Senate Finance Committee
when it begins consideration Of reve-
nue. questions Thursday
The use of only six sources of taxa
ton including a tax on manufactdr-
ers' sales. instead OF the more than
thirty-five now on the statute books,
was advocated by Senator SmoOt.
The six wells from which the Utah
Senator proposed to pump revenue
and the amounts which he estimates
each would yield annually follow:
Income taxes (waximum rate of 80
per cent? $S3O,OO0,OOO
Ten per cent tax. on net corpora
ton profits, $445,OOO,OOO.
Tobacco tax (present rates., $255,-
100000.
Estate taxes, S15O.OOO,OOO.
Manufacturers sales tax 6 per
cent?. $1,000, 100000.
While the six sources would pro-
duce only $&.2SO. 100000 Mr.. Smoot
estimated that the other $615.O0O,-
900 would be obtained from collection
of unpaid taxes, receipts from war
salvage and the old tax on withdraw
ais Unpaid taxes, he figured, should
add $340, 600 900 10 this years reve-
nue., war salvage receipts should be
around O0.OO0,O00 and the liquor
tax sholld produce another $4,000
900.
The $S95,O0O,OO0 anticipated as
the laws yield will exceed the gov
eminent commitments at present by
$434,7OO,00O according to Mr., Smoot.
The surplus, he said, could he used
by the Treasury to meet other de-
mand which might be made upon It
One of the arguments which Mr..
Smoot said could be made in'favor Of
his program was its simplicity. amy
body can make out his tax return"
il Congress adopts his suggestion, he
said, adding that it would result in
saving perhaps of $4,000, 900 in tax
collections and would do away with
about two-thirds of the employees of
the revenue service.

won the double header at Riverside
park Saturday. The youngsters play
the game with the grace, style and
earnestness of a team of old heads.
If they stick together for another
year or two and continue to improve
and work as they have this summer,
they will make the stick get mighty
hot before another club can get
ahead of them.
The McHenry Majestics together
with some one hundred and sixty
seven loyal rooters, chartered a spe-
cial car Sunday and via the Illinois
Central journeyed to Grayson Springs

with nine scalps dangling from their

You can't beat a ball club with back
ing like that, you may make more
scores than they do but you can't
beat them. The Majestic fans are
loyal thru thick and thin and they
root so hard that the team just cant
go back on them. More spirit like
that and we could have a big league
circuit right here in Ohio County.
Our good friend and enemy Jake"
Stevens, left these parts recently for
the Mountains to twirl the Jenkins
ball club to the championship of "the

fans at Jenkins and for that reason
we wish the championship on them,
as we'll as success to Jake.

hurley TOBACCO CROP
2OO,OOO,OOO POUNDS

Lexington, KY, Aug. 31.-The to-
bacco crop of the hurley district Of
Kentucky, which is now being cut
and housed, is better than was antici-
pated earlier in the season, accord
ing to reliable reports received by
prominent tobacco warehousmen Of
this city.
Plants that were early put out re-
ceived a setback to some extent from
the excessive heat and drouth in June
and July, il is stated, but the late
plants were more fortunate and have
been brought out by the timely rains
which visited Kentucky during the
latter part of July, and this part of
the crop is said to be of extra quality.
Well-posted tobacco men here as
sert that the crop as a whole will not
be as large as that of 1920 for the
reason that the acreage was material
ly reduced in many counties of the
hurley district, but that the quality
will be superior to that of last year
if favorable weather continues and
the maturing process is not interfered
with.
1t is estimated that the yield this
year is about 60 per cent crop in ac-
reage, which means that it will ag-
gregate more than 200,OO0.0O0 MS,
as compared with approximately
500, 100000 lbs. last year.

BASE BAIL BRIEFS

The Island Station club scattered
hand bills all over the country an
nouncing that the semi-pro cham
pions Of Akron, Ohio had been Sc
cured for a two game series to be
played last weekend at Island. Is
land went to some expense loading
up with q goodly bunch Of stars. The
self-styled Akron club rolled in Sat
urday morning primed to tame them.
At five o'clock that afternoon the
teams were still playing, the score
was II 90 in favor of Island and it
was only the fifth inning. However
the game stopped shortly thereafter.
Some fan recognized ball player or
two as being from greensboro and
after more noseying around it was
discovered that the team was to the
last man from greensboro. Bats and
bottles flew thick and fast, the i'm
personators started and they were
kept on the run until they were three
miles down the l.. e N. tracks. The
Island fans didn't even allow them
to get their clothes and they didn't
stop running until the last enraged
fan had been winded.

ed for the C'towners in both games,
seemingly doing better in the Sec
ond than in the first, at any rate the
score so indicates.
The Beavers play a series of two
games this weekend with Island Sta
ton. This series will determine the
1921 championship. Each team has
won two games, the fifth game being
a tie-up affair. These games are
to be played Saturday at Beaver Dam
and Sunday at Hartford.

The Provo ball club suffered a
clean defeat at the hands of the wy
sox boys, Saturday. In the words of
a Wysox fan, "the Provo lads came
over with their minds made up as to
the result, but they went home with
their original idea very much scram-
bled." John Fulkerson hurled for
WysoX and gave the fans a clever ex-
hibition of what a good man can do
with a good team behind him. The
score was to 2. The entire Wysox
team played bang-up ball and are to
be congratulated for laying our mu-
tual enemy under the sod.
The local management has an
nounced that the fans will have an
to see a good game of
ball every day of the Ohio County !
Fair.
It is apparently up to McHenry |
Beaver Dam or Centertown to claim
the championship of the county |
These three teams should arrange TO
get together and by series of three
or five games eliminate ali but one |
team, grab the all-star Ohio County !
team again and windup the season |
with a grand finish. Fair week !
would be a mighty good time to de-
eide such a championship.

NEIGHBORS SHOCKED
 AT SWIMMING HOLE
Boys Scorn Bathing Suits-Use
 Profane Language

The old swimmin' hole' of song and fable has lost some of it's romance for New Britain people, according to re- ports floating in from Myrtle street for the past several weeks. People residing in the neighborhood of the old needle shop dam complain that boys who use this bocy of water as their oathing place do not pay enough attention to the rules of common de- cency and polite society. Th " claim that the boys wear no bathing suits and that the language some of them use shocks not only the sensitive and cultured ears of the neighborhood, but also the more hardened natures of those who pass by from other streets.
 Not wishing to interfere any more than I ecessary with the boys and their enjoyment, one public spirited resi- dent put a tent near the water and of tered the boys the privilege of its use every day. The Y. M. C. A. physical department also put a man there every day for several weeks to help keer , the boys cooled down. The neighbor- hood boys, or those wnose parents live within hearing and seeing distance o1 the dam, are said to be very well be hayed, but gangs of strange and rougher boys frequently drift in from other sections and the neishborhood S reputation suffers from their visit.
 The factory which owns the dam
 recently considered a request to put 6 fence about the pond but has decided that it cannot be done at this time
 Requests that the city take over the policing of this section and keep the boys within the bounds of good be- havior arc under advisement.
