is a beautiful white star with
greenish tinge while Dubhe is yell
low in color.
These last four stars get their
names from the fact that the Great
Dipper, as we shall see later. is part
of a larger constellation, the Great
Bear. Megrez means "the root of
the bears tall" Phecda, "the thigh
'of the bear" Merak, the "loin of the
bear" Duhbe means simply ''the

ALL BONDS

Survey Shows Tax Exempt

By HERBERT OUICK.

HE advocates of the Mellon
proposal to amend the Con
- stitution of the United States
so as to permit Congress to tax Sc
curities now exempt from taxation
are put in a deep hole by the report
of the Federal Trade Commission.
They have insisted that these Sc
curities are bought by multimillion-
aires to avoid taxation. The report
eighth of the tax-exempt bonds are
in the hands of people with incomes
of over $4,000 a year. About a
quarter of them are in the hands Of
corporations-most of them banks,
one feels sure, in accordance with
the banking laws-and the great
balance about among the folks with
incomes of less than $4,000 a year.
And one must have a lot more than
$40, 900 a year to rank among the
malefactors Of great wealth.
And that ends the great argument
for the amendment.
Change Argument
The advocates Of the plan to sub
ject our States, cities, counties and
our farm loan system to Federal
taxation on their bonds are now
driven to the argument that the tax
exempt securities allow a great vol
ume Of money to go into 'non-prO-
ductive" or static" investment.
While money for all safe business
is as low as now, this is an argu-
ment lacking on force.
But what really is done with the
money raised by the sale of tax
exempt securities? The farmer pays
off an old mortgage. or he buys ma
terials for improvements. In either
case the money goes back into ac-
tive business. A city paves, or
builds waterworks or sewers or
schoolhouses. or State builds
roads. The money employs labor or
buys materials. In all cases It helps
it were loaned to one Of the Mellon
concerns or any other big business
which isfhghting for the amendment.
Plot Deepens
The desire for the amendment is
based on quite another and a CON
cealed ground. It does not grow
out Of any scarcity Of money, or
high interest rates on taxable Sc
curities. The plot is deeper and
more secret than that. 1t grows out
Of a desire on the part of the big
interests to give Congress the power
TO cripple the States and municipal
corporations and the Federal farm
loan system by taxing their bonds.
The power 10 tax is the power to
destroy. What the proposed amend
ment seeks TO do is TO give the big
interests the power TO destroy the
States and the counties and schooI
districts and many other agencies OF
the people in their service TO the
people, and 10 turn that service over
TO the big interests.
Remember that when you vote for
your Senators and Representatives.

White Sox Manager and For.
mer Cub Star Dead on
Pacific Coast

Los ANGELES. Calf, Sept. I6.
Frank Chance, manager of the
Chicago White Sox and former
Cubs star first baseman is dead
here.
For several months Chance had
been recuperating in Southern Cali
fornia from a breakdown suffered
in Chicago last spring in an at.
tempt to resume active management
Of the team.
He was at his apartment early
last night when another sudden
attack caused his removal to the
Good Samaritan Hospital, where he
died within a half hour.
Chance was born in San Fran.
cisco in 1879. In the years of
1894-95 he played with the univer.
sity Of Washington baseball teams.
The following two years saw him
in independent ranks.
His first venture in the major
league baseball came in 1898, when
he Joined the Cubs, where for five
years he was recognized as a ca.
pablo catcher. Often when not en-
gagged behind the bat, he would be
sent to the outfield because of his
hitting ability.
1t was in 1903 that Chance was
sent to take care Of first base, and
Tor eight years thereafter he was
the class Of the National League.
When in 1905 Salee sold the Chi
cago Club to Charles w. Muir.
ply, the latter appointed Chance
manager Of the Cubs. The follow.
ing year he led the team to the
league championship, winning the
record number of 116 games.
In 1907 and 1908 the team re.
peated the clinching Of the league
pennant and both years defeated
Detroit in the worlds series. In
1909 the team finished as runner.up
In the old circuit, but in 1910
Chance again won the i1onOrs. It
was in this year that the Athletes
won their first worlds series. The
two following years saw his teams
We'll down in the race.
In 1918 he broke with Murphy
and left the National League, to
sign as manager of the New York
Yankees, at a figure which was
until then higher than any baseball
manager had ever received in the
sport.
He managed the Red Sox in 1924.

Shaute has speed and curves and
the heart of a lion. This combina
ton has proved too much for the
Griffs on at lesat three occasions
this season and the Washington
players, while sympathizing with
him in his hard luck, are pleased
not to have to face his stuff.
With Shaute out of the Cleve-

which of Speakers staff will huri
the third game against the
Griffs. COveleskie and Smith are
counted upon as sure to pitch
in this final series of the cam

hurler will not be known for a

"All I can say is that Washing.

Iris Speaker today. 'I am using

all right with me but Harris and

victory over the New York Club
seem i'll founded. Three games
have been played in Detroit and
Cobb used his three leading hurlerss
