REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA

Because there are some facts which
are not subject to specific proof, Demo-
Gratis NAV have hard time trying to
make political capital out of a fact which
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon omitted
from his recent statement designed 70
show that federal taxes have been appre-
ciablv decreased under Republican man
agement. By the same token it would be
hard TO show that there IS no necessity
for the increase in state and local taxes
which Mr.. Mellon cited to make a con-
trast with the alleged saving effected
hy the federal government under the
guidance of the COP.
Tic secretary of the treasury under
took to capitalize half truth when he
gave comparative figures descriptive of
the tendencies of taxation in this coun-
try, since 1913. Whereas, he pointed out,
federal taxes. amounting to S53.7S per
capita in 1920. had been reduced to
S3249 per citizen by 1922, state and
local taxes had increased tremendously
during the same period. As compared
with the figures for the wear 1913, those
for last wear showed increases of several
hundred per cent in the taxes levied by
states and cities New Mexico seems to
have headed the list with an increase of
533 per cent, while in Texas the jump
was only about half as great-216 per
cent.
One might easily accept these figures
on state and local taxes and deplore the
tendency thew represent, and still dis
agree with Mr.. Mellon as to the signifi-
canoe of the figures on federal taxes.
So far as direct taxation is concerned
the American people pay less into the
Golfers of the federal government now
than they were required to do before
the present administration came into be,
ing. 1t is also probably true-Mr. Mel
lon states it as a fact-that the tota
per capita tax paid by Americans is
greater than that imposed upon English
men, although the levies of the nationa
government are much higher in England
than in the United States This is &C
counted for by the vastly greater loca
and state taxes in this country
But how about indirect taxation
More specifically, what of the govern
ment's tariff revenue? Of course Nj
Mellon had nothing to say about that
Technically, import duties are not hste
as taxes. Nevertheless, they make
draft upon the pockets of the America
people. When the federal goYernmen
i gets revenue by indirect taxation, it ca
afford to- reduce its direct taxes. Re
peal the Fordney-McC umber tariff law
and the Republican managers of thi
country's governmental affairs would nc
point with so much pride to the cut
tIev have made in direct taxes.
However. this defect in Secretar
Melons showing of economy" on tn
part of the Republican administrator
cannot be used to justify the cnormou

SALARY SLASHES
TALKED IN BIG
LEAGUE CAMPS
Major Stars Face Decrease in
Fancy WageS-UsuaI Re-
tirementS' Are Out.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press StGH COrreSpOndent

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Business
wasn't so good around the major
league circuits last year. The pen
nant-winning clubs and several OF the
western teens made money, but the
usual bumper crops of cash weren't
general by any means. At least the
magnates would have that believed.
The result is very few raises for the
ball players. Several of the club
owners will ask their athletes to suf-
fer along on a smaller stipend until
things get better" Others who can
afford their usual payroll may do the
same thing to feel out the new union.
Whatever the reason, the wave Of
economy which has brought the
majors and the minors to the point Of
open war no doubt Will result in a
great epidemic of ''houdouts' as
soon as the athletes get their CON
tracts. The club owners are waiting
until the last minute to send out new
contracts to prevent the union mem
bers getting Ogether and comparing
notes on the various salaries offered
The usual threats Of retiring to pri-
vate business instead Of playing ball
are being made. Jake Daubert, Gin
cinnad Red inf1elder, has officially
announced himself as ready to enter
the coal business If he can't get S10,-
600 a year and George MOgrfdge,
Washington pitcher, in looking for
other business.
Dutch Reuther, accused by Squire
Ebbets of being the prime mover in
the Baseball Players Union. is hold
ing out for $4,000 and Zach Wheat,
Andy High and several others on the
Brooklyn Robins are not content with
what they have been drawing.
John McGraw seldom has trouble
with his players. The Giants are gen
erous and the boys are all satisfied
with their places. The Yanks are
the most liberal spenders in baseball,
but the Yankee owners are going to
reduce salaries this year. Colonies
Rupert and Huston are not hard-up
but they are going to take crack
ag1inst several of the fancy-priced
players who looked like 10 cents a
dozen last season and during the
world series.

For six years Russell, as a member
Of the Chicago White Sox, was one of
the leading southpaws of the Amer
lean League.
Unlike Ruth and Sisler, Russell did
not give up pitching at the height OF
his career. An injury to his pitching
arm caused him to be Internationally
released. He drifted back to the
minors. Joe Cantllon gave him a
chance at Minneapolis.
Russell started to poke them high
and far. No one paid much attention
to his fielding blunders. Carrying al
most as much avoirdupois as Babe
Ruth, naturally Reb was not In George
Burns class as an outfelder.
But Reb could hit he could swat
home runs and home-run swatting
was the fad up in the majors.
Thus Russell losing the sting to
the left whip, swatted his way back
to the majors. Pittsburgh bought him
from Minneapolis.
Many Of the experts insist il Babe
