TAX REDUCTION

Ancld, ~. ~.
January ., 1924.
Editor Tribupc:
The talk of an initiated bill for
tax reduction seems to have alarmed
some people, especially some of our
educators. They take the view that
it is practically going to close all
our high schools and put us back
twenty years.
No one has any desire to close
the schools, we are trying to make it
possible to keep them open by re-
ducing the taxes so the property
owners will be able to pay them. The
fact OF the matter is that the time
has come when those who make their
living by serving in occupations sup
ported by taxation must share IN the
reduction that the property owner
or producer has had to suffer from
the slump in prices of his products.
The farmer has been oblged~to take
u reduction for the price OF his
wheat from Il war time average of
$40 per hushcl to about 81. (about
normal price,. If a cut in taxes is
going to close the high schools, how
do you expect the farmer to continue
his farming operations with ii 15C
per cent cut in his prices ant.,pay {;
raise OF from 200 to 300 percent in
taxes?
In 1914, as of June Both, our com
mon and high school finances were
as follows:
Taxes paid S5,127,752OO
Outstanding war
rants 49,. 49,, 066.0O

SCALE CITY WALLS AND KILL INVADERS Recent Attack Recalls Romance
 Of Ancient Ages

Shanghai. Feb. PA siege where fin the inhabitants of a city were re- duced almost to actual starvation and which ended with a frontal attack against the walls, recalling vividly the romances of the middle ages, has just been completed at Chungking, recap tured not long ago from General Yang Sen, one Of Wu Pei-fu's hcnchmen. The attackers were S2echwaneze, some of them natives of the city it. self.
 Not more than 900 men participated in the attack. but such was their in- trepidity that they effected a landing. under gunfire from boats and sealed the walls without other covering fire than the minor missiles of two small pieces of artillery.
 Yang had held possession Of the city for several months, though his line Of communications on the Nanstze river had been cut and all supplies shut off. Living conditions within the town were terrible. There was barely enough rice to keep life in the in habitants bodies. What there Was had reached a price four times that normally charged. People without funds and even some who had money 1. were near the point of death at the ! time Of the attack.
 Chungking is built on hill and its walls proper are little more than plat forms on which the defenders may stand and be sheltered by parapets. Nine gates pierce these walls and Ii was against one of these, facing 2 stream which flows alongside the city. that the preliminary attack was made. When this had assumed considerable proportions, about % large sampans or iunks. loaded with men, pushed of from the further side of the Yangtze, which flows along the other side ot the city, AS these approached the shore the attackers masscd in their bows and sprang for the land. Gun fire dropped some but the others kept on and, the defenders being in large part occupied in stemming the attack on the gate on the other side of the city. scaled the wall and met the de- lenders hand to hand on its top.
 Within two hours they controlled the city.

team today 1t was long jump bui
the Hoosiers were glad to leave these
parts.
Lost in Ninth
The Saints won the Wednesday
contest here when the Tribe hurlers
''choked up" in the ninth. Three
runs were rushed across and Nick
Aliens boys won, to 7. F'itzsim-
mons and Petty were guilty.
For the locals, the veteran Joe
Riggert was the hero. He batted
for Wade in the ninth and won the
days 1aurels by cracking the fence
with a solid swipe. Wade is a south
paw hitter and when he came up
Fitzsimmons was jerked and Petty
sent in. Manager Allen withdrew
Wade and called for Riggert, a
right.handed batter. Riggert deliv-
cred and drove two runs across.
Louisville, St. Paul and Indian
apolis are now battling in near
three-way tie. The Millers cut
down the Colonies and the Saints
checked the Hoosiers. It's a wild
scramble.
The Tribesmen have had several
opportunities to take the lead re-
Gently, but they have slipped in the

Ernie's Two Homers
Ernie Kruger poled two home
runs Wednesday for the Tribe bat
ting feature. His second circuit
swat came in the eighth and placed
his team out in front. The Indians
scored five runs in that rally and
it certainly was a pleasant shock to
the fans when the Saints came from
behind in the ninth.
Christensen opened the Saint
ninth and popped out. Morse singled,
but was forced by Neun. Dresser
singled. sending Neun to third. Haas
beat out an infeld hit, scoring
Neun Petty relieved Fitzsimmons.
Iaiggert batted for Wade. Bang

Umpire Finneran in the sixth in

claimed that Dixon, who was bat
ting, interfered with Catcher Krue-
ger. Bush appeared to be correct
in his contention, but Finneran stood
pat and ordered Ownie off the field.
Bush slipped into the bleachers
and gave his signs" from there
until Umpire Connolly spotted him
in the eighth and ordered him to
go to the clubhouse.
