Taxing with AMMAN Who travels al
the time among farmers. Says he,
"they ail complain bitterly Of tho high
taxes" And no wonder. Yet II seems
foolish to expect lower taxes when we
constantly increase appropriations.
Our state legislatures never meet
without creating new bureaus, com
missions, and officials. Congress dips
. big fist into the U. s. strong box at
every daily session. The public inter-
est charge grows. The bodybuilding
program increases. Asmultitude Of In
dividuals and organizations clamor at
the gates Of every public treasury, The
result of all this, in nearly every coun-
ty in the United States, is q burden
some increase In local taxes which
seems to fall more heavily on the
farmer than on business men or sal
aried men.
Now Secretary Of the Treasury Mel
lon ia proposing q S-cent letter, a
stamp tax on bank checks, and q tax
Of $40 on automobiles, with, perhaps,
scaling down fthe surtax for eX-
cess incomes The farmer will not
benefit by a reduction Of the surtax.
He would be annoyed, but not ruined
by the $40 automobile tax, or Scent
letter postage. The stamp on bank
checks would probably prove more of
q nuisance to him than any Of the
other proposed measures. 1t is neither
safe nor convenient to carry consider
able sums In cash through the country,
and a large percentage Of farmers
have acquired the checking habit.
They cannot pay frequent visit to the
savings bank for deposits and with
drawals, as the city wage Garner may;
and they cannot run across the street
to the bank for change and accommo-
dalton as the country town business
man would find it possible to do. II
the farmer uses the bank at all he will
want to write checks. And he will not
want to bother with pasting two-cent
stamp on every check.-Farm Life.

 ARE ADMITTED
 AS EVIDENCE
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO. July 26.-Judge Hugo Friend. presiding at the trial of the alleged baseball conspirators. yes terday ruled that the confessions of the baseball players before the grand jury are admissible as evidence in the case. He informed the states attorney, however. that if further evidence is presented to show that the confessions had not been made voluntarily. he would instruct the jury to disregard them.
 When the stenographer who took Cicotte's confession before the grand jury began reading the confession at the baseball trial today, so many ob- jectons were raised that the court adjourned temporarily while the at torneys conferred. Indications are that it will take the entire day to revise the confessions for presenta- ton to the jury

DUBLIN. July 26.-The Irish Bull letin, the official organ of the Dali Eireann in an editorial in yester- days issue, said: ,~.
 Nothing less than national inde- pendence will content the Sim Fein leaders. The Irish people will agree to nothing which denies the ancient unity of Ireland or seeks to impose on the nation alien domination of any kind" .:
 The editorial repudiated any wish to CoerCe Ulster, and the article is taken more as an expression of i'm. patience at the patronizing air soma London papers have assumed than an indication of a breach of the negotia- tions looking to a settlement of the Irish question.

JUNEAU, July 26. - Many marine dangers. hidden in ocean grave yards" along Alaska's coasts are 10 be removed by eight naval radio cam pass stations which will be built dur ing the next four years. From the stations ships ct sea can get their bearings and in fog and storms can proceed safely along the coasts.
 One station being built this sum- mer at Soapstone. Point, Yakobi is- land. where ships from southwestern Alaska enter the Inside passage southbound to Seattle. In the past ships have lost many days waiting for thick weather to clear so they could get past Soapstone point and into Cross sound. With the stations in operation, they will be able to pick up the entrance to Cross sound by wireless.
 Another station now under con struction is at Cape Hinchinbrook, at the entrance to Prince William sound, on which Valdez and other southwestern Alaska points are To- cated
 According to present plans the Soapstone station will be opened next October. after a crew of trained men is assembled and tests are made with ships at sea. The Cape Hiuchinbrook station will be completed later.
 Care is being taken in construction of living quarters for the men at the stations, for the points are isolated and the government is trying to offset some of the disadvantages by attrac- tive housing. There will be a dorm itory, baths, electric lights and other facilities. Both stations are located in parts of Alaska noted for hunting and fishing.
 Two stations are to be built each year until the eight are completed
