City League Opens League Season
Galueston Grabs Will
Arrive Tuesday; Work
Out at Schuab Field

President H. J. Benson of the
Bears having declined to grant the
rather unique request of President
n. Z. Leopold of the Galveston
Sandcrabs that the Galveston team
be permitted to use League Park
for practice the day before the
opening game of the Texas League
Wednesday, the Crabs will come 70
San Antonio a day ahead of time
anyhow and work out from 1 to 4
o'clock Tuesday on the diamond at
Schwab Field, home of the Alamo
Peck semi-pros, on North Flores
street.
Just what Mr.. Leopold's main
idea is in having his team arrive
here a day early to practice up
for an opener with the Bears is
not clear. Perhaps he just wants
his team to avoid the train ride I'M
mediately preceding the game. Also,
he may want to get his athletes
eyes used to a grass diamond after
Galveston's sandy field.
Anyway, Boss Benson Of the
Bears smelled a rat in the unortho-
dox request and politely declined
to give the use of League Park
to the Crabs before the ,proper
time came. Leopold got in touch
with George Schwab and ar
ranged for a practice session at the
semi-pro park.

LARGE MEETING
Held By Proponents of Referendum Sale of City's
Electric Distribution System at Labor Temple
Monday Night

Despite the inclemency of the
weather and the fact that it was New
Years Eve, it is estimated there were
200 persons gathered at the labor tenn
pie Monday night to discuss the ques-
ton of the referendum on the sale of
the electric distribution system and
the granting of a 25-year franchise to
furnish electric current.
A permanent organization was
formed and money collected to defray
expenses. A number addressed the
meeting Following is copy of the
minutes of the proceedings as given
out by Secretary H. B. Stephens:
Minutes of Meeting held in the Labor
Auditorium by the Taxpayers and
Citizens of Hamilton, Ohio, on De-
cember 81, 1923, to Discuss the Re-
monstrance against the Sale of the
Municipal Electric Light Plant.
Meeting was called to order by Mr..
Lou Nau A motion was made and
carried that Mr. Nau be elected per-
manent chairman, and H. B. Steph-
ems, secretary. This was followed by
talk by B. F. Primmer
A motion was made and carried,
asking the city council to repeal Ordi-
nances 2172, l2173 and 2174, which was
followed by talk by Mr.. Eggleston,
stating that the Trades and Labor
Council had already endorsed the
building of a light plant, and he
thought they would cooperate with
the citizens in keeping the light plant;

talk by Mr.. Atehison.

Ialk Dy MT. AIenlSOn.
A resolution was offered as follows
BY those here assembled in the labor
auditorium: "We request the city
solicitor of Hamilton, Ohio, to assist
in any and all litigations now or
hereafter pending to prevent the sale
of the city electric light plant or dis
tributing system" Motion was made
and carried that the words "those as
sembled here" be stricken off, and
substituted "The citizens and taxpay-
ers."
1t was moved and seconded that a
committee of five be appointed to ar
range with some newspaper to have
them publish facts and arguments
against the sale of the Hamilton mu-
nicipal light plant, and that said COM
mittee be authorized and directed to
make necessary arrangements to help
secure subscriptions to such papers
as may agree to publish said facts
and arguments against the sale of the
municipal light plant and distributing
system" Motion was made and car
ried that the word people" be
stricken out, and substitute "the citi-
zens and taxpayers" Motion was
also made and carried that the chair
man be empowered to appoint a COM
mittee of five to act upon same, and
| that he appoint same The following
were appointed on this committee

weeks session without even the con-
sideration of an important bill. The
senate has been tied up because of
failure to elect chairman of the
committee on interstate commerce.
Opponents of Senator Cummins, the
present chairman, and one of the
authors of the transportation act, are
demanding that the rate guarantee Of
this law be repealed This section
provides for "fair return on the
capital of railroads, and the inter
state commerce commission has ruled
that 5A per cent is fair return.
When congress convenes after the
holidays it is evident that the SOL
diers' bonus and the tax plan, propos-
ed by Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion, will Occupy the center of the stage
The Mellon plan provides for cuts in
the income tax and opposes the SOL
diers' bonus. Friends of the soldiers
bonus charge that the plan is really
intended to relieve the excessively rich
of income taxes. This can not be done
| if the bonus is passed
1t is clear that no legislative pro-
posal ever had such powerful back
ers as the Mellon plan The prop
aganda has reached the screen and
millions of people are daily called
upon to demand that their national
representatives "reduce taxes" This
is the covert way of creating senti-
ment for the Mellon plan.
Wage workers are assured that
money released through the lowering
of high income taxes will be put into
| the expansion of business and thus
create more employment The work
ers are supposed to forget that the
same argument was used two years
ago when big business secured a re-
duction in excess profits, and the in
come tax rate was cut
The Wall Street journal has gone
so far in its advocacy of the Mellon
plan as to urge it's readers to intimi-
date their congressman and senators.
'Let 'em know how many voters in
their district pay high income taxes y
is the thought that the W. S. j. would
convey. This publication also calls
upon it's readers to let their congress
men and senators know that there are
more voters interested in income tax
reduction than in the soldiers bonus.
This line of action is indicative of
how big business will attempt to apply
the thumbscrews to lawmakers.

Another resolution was made and car
ried that the same committee be en-
powered to offer the resolutions pass
ed to the city council.
Motion was made and carried that a
a finance committee be appointed, and
the chairman submitted the names of
Mr.. Murphy, Jake Halperin, Joe
Steiger, Mr.. Bittinger and Mr.. Meyers
as the finance committee. Talks were
made by f. Leisner and DR.. Veriker
1t was moved and seconded that
