The maximum then that the taxpayer
can pay under the bill Is s1.00 per
$1,000 Of assessed valuation. The
increased value of all property due
to new building and farm improve
ment will more than offset this
amount. All building and improve
ment will also become asscssiblc and
taxable under the provision, thus les
sening the small tax throughout the
state. As soldiers begin to sell their
property and the mortgages are as
sumed by men not qualified to come
under the loan feature n higher rate
OF interest will be received by the
state and the difference between the
bond interest, probably 8 per cent,
and the interest rate per cent or
per cent will eventually equalize
and absorb the entire overhead so
that there will be no tax collected for
the administration OF the act.

K. F. Oil Possibilities
Louded In s. F.

II has been learned that the Croc-
ker National Bank and the San Fran
cisco Loan Society are parties to the
leases of the Churchill lands which
were recently leased to the Northern
California OIL Co..
These strong financial institutions
and the Churchills are very closely
allied with the California Oregon
Power Co, and the derrick which is
already erected Is located on tho
Churchill ground J, c. Thompson. 10.
cal manager OF the row"r Co, Is one
Of the directors of Tho Northern Cal
ifornia Oil company.
There are persistent street rumors
to the effect that tHHsr institutions
have greater interest in the North
crn California than the officers rf the
company seem willing 10 admit. The
directors and officers are all well
known local capitalists " the sue
cessful type who would naturally be
chosen by the interests mentioned, to
be responsible for the local manage
ment and control OF the company.
The company was quietly orgnniz-
ed and went about the erection Of the
derrick. purchase OF machinery and
other preliminary work with the evi-
dent assurance OF being amply firan-
ced.
Captain Siemens is hcav stock
holder and one OF the directors. which
indicates to certainty that he be-
lieves that the showing in the Klam-
ath Oil Co.'S. well fully justifies the
drilling OF more wells and the in
vestment OF more money in oil devel-
opment. Siemens put a lot OF money
into the klamath Cos we'll. and de-
velopments have fully demonstrated
his wisdom. and unless all signs fail
his holdings in the company will
friends followed his lead and have
made five and ten-fold profits in
klamath oil Co. stock and It is freely
predicted that his friends and the
public generally will follow his lead
again and that the present offering OF
Northern California stock will be
quickly grabbed up.
II looks like a good tip for every
body to get in when real financial in
terests. with real money, go into oil

 keiIy's Latest Fight.
 kellys most recent fight was d draw affair with Jimmy Coniey,' ot Brooklyn, really good fighter Con- ley has fought many of the top notchers, and kelly's feat in holding him to a draw is certainly many points in his favor.

 Stuffy Makes. It So
 The Stewart boy made it one more stolen base in the melee against the Chicks Wednesday afternoon He might have gone still further towards his new goal of 75, had it not been for the heavy field. Stuffy confided Wednesday that he was ambi tious of reaching the 75 mark before the end of the campaign. He has three more games in which to reach this mark With 69 to his credit now il would mean he would have to steal two bags per game, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. That's really asking too much of the dice.
 Local Boys Win Flag
 Bill Pierre, Birmingham boy, who is managing High Point in the Piedmont league. and Red Holt, also Birmingham red head, who is playing first base NiAN ooiiiN dES are wearing smiles. Bill and Red helped shove High Point through 10 the league leadership in the last half of the season. They are now booked to meet Greens ooro, winner of the first half in post-season tilt for the league championship. Red Holt goes to the Yankees when the flag-chase enus in the Piedmont, though he VIII probably have to wait until spring before he shows Miller Huggins his wares as first sacker.
 Ezekiel Has Jack
 Ezekiel Lohman, who stepped m and helped pitch the Memphis chicks to a pennant this season. IS going to buy big high powered roadster with his share of the Memphis Fort Worth series money. Zekea would be more conservative but for the fact that he has become an oil magnate, and can really afford to loll 2 little in the lap of luxury. Zeke has 40 acres of land right around in the oil belt of Texas. and says he could easily sell his holdings in minute for $500 an acre Ezekiel is too wise for that, how ever. Hes going to hold on to that acreage until gusher comes in.
 Empires Ask Players Share
 Empires Cy Pfirman and Bull dog Williams, two of the small est and most capable umpires in the Southern League have been selected to handle the games be- tween Fort Worth and Memphis, but they don't know what kind of an arrangement is to be made as to pay. The two fellows as serted Wednesday they would ask for a players share each from the series. One fan re- marked:
 "I hope the Texas League sends two boys to help you two little fellows perserve order"
 Whereunon Williams made snappy detort: "The bigger they are the harder they fall, brother" /"

By HENRY VANCE

No custard pies were thrown at Redwood field Wednesday after noon, nut the athletes might as well have resorted to this type of slap stick farce. They exhausted all the other stunts in the catalog in try ing to make a comedy out of the af- fair, which the Barons won, 8 to |.
 Polly McLarry played right field, and occasionally would come in to help Tommy McMillan look after short, leaving the vast space in the right garden unguarded. Rhino Will Hams pitched until the assignment became too Imaginable, and then he swapped places with Camp, who was playing first base. These swaps, a muddy field drizzling rain and only few dozen spectators in the stands all collaborated in making the seven Inning struggle joke affair. The only bright spot of the battle was that the athletes rushed through seven innings of ball and then glad " retlreo when Cmps Iflrman called off further combat on account of the raindrops.
 '> Comedy Stuff
 The field was as soggy as a plum pudding, the ground was treacherous and skiddy, nobody seemed to have their minds on baseball and fans joined in the laughter as skids, slips and comedy stunts were uncorked At one time the rainfall became too much for McLarry and he sat through one whole inning, huddled against the right field wall in an effort to dodge the raindrops.
 Abbott is giving his pitchers rest. and as a result of vacationing on the pitchers staff he allowed Rhino Will Hams to pitch Wednesday. Rhino didn't seem to care whether the Bar ons hit or missed. He lasted through
