JUAREZ TEAM IS
TOHAVE STRONG
SNAPPY PLAYERS

4 c Burton Marshall, writing in the
81 Paso Times Sunday about the
Neam which the Juarez club will en-
ter in the Copper league this season,
has the following summary to Of
fer:
With an all-Mexican baseball club
that displays strength in practically
every position President Bob eUrias
and his associates on the Juarez
club are preparing for the finest
start in the history of the city
across the river.
Juarez adopted the policy early in
the season of keeping it's negotia-
tions fairly well under cover, but
news of the team that was released
yesterdays indicates that the In
dams will be contenders in the Cop
per league pennant fight.
1t is in the pitching staff that
Narez is resting most of its hores
fdr, an upper berth in the league.
which opens formally on April 8
with game between Juarez and Ell
Paso. Forgetting all about the
mound stars who carried the team to
a pennant last season, Urias has
signed three twirlers who from all
reports are big league material.
FfguerOa Looks Good.
One of these is Figueroa, the MAJ
allan sensation. Figueroa is big
right-hander who relies largely on
a smoke ball. The Indians are con-
fident that he will sweep through
the league in the same fashion as
Liz Smith followed last season. They
figure him as the act of the new
mound staff.
Julio Molina is the second twir-
Ter imported from southern Mexico.
Molina is also a right handler and
comes to the Juarez club with big
reputation which he established in
Mexico City.
The third member of the trio is
Fred Carrizosa of California. In ad-
dition to being a capable southpaw
hurler, Carrizosa is a hard-hitting
outfielder. He received a tryout last
season with Sacramento in the Coast
league.
Mfnjarez Coming.
The best news heard in the JuaIez
camp since the league organized was
received yesterday when Chuma
Minjarez, the star second baseman
of last season. advised Urias that he
IS ready to return from east Texas
and play with the Indians. Chuma

Never in the history Of Cook county
nor of Chicago have the big politicians
been wrought up or heated up to the
same extent as they have been for the
past three or four months.
For the biggest and wisest and the
long-headed politicians have eagerly
and willingly branded each other as
bare-faced liars and all kinds of liars
and through the columns of the daily
press they have freely accused each
other Of boldly walking away in broad
daylight with hundreds Of thousands
of dollars in dead easy money, and be-
fore the hard and bitter fighting comes
to an end April Is, we expect to see a
big bunch of politicians rounded ur
and headed for the Cook county jail
house.
1t seems that the bitter fighting be-
tween Senator Harding and Mr.
Devine will continue to be the main
headlines in all the leading newspaper:
and they are receiving thousands and
thousands of dollars worth of free ad
vertising while the newspaper boys are
engaged in the pleasant task of holding
the bag.

But along with that he sent an at
tack on Devine, whom he termed ''the
hand-picked candidate of political
banking combine that hopes to con-
tinue its lucrative brokerage business
in public funds"
Challenge Unanswered, Harding Says
To Harding's challenge and promise
to put an end to what he calls an in
-terest collecting system m the treas
ury that costs the city and school
board in the neighborhood Of $2,000,-
600 year, Mr.. Harding remarks that
Mr. Devine makes no reply.
"The list of political bankers who
have found control of the county treas
ury a road to fortune m the past and
who back Mr.. Devine as a means of
continuing that profitable control for
the future reads like roll call of Sena-
tor Deneen's political organization, I"
Harding said. :
"As directors of banks that handle
these public funds behold Roy o.

son of a provident father, Isaac N
Powell, and Percy B. Eckert, law part
ner of Mr.. West, with other less i'm

That Mr.. Devine's insinuations
against me are maliciously false let me
once and for all state the facts. My
father died in 1916. At the time of his
death my own personal holdings oi

ing Mr.. Carr's incumbency resulted in
a saving of s750OO0, despite the fact
that the work has been increased
10 per cent each year.
The cash registers and auditing ma
chimes installed by Mr.. Carr have en-
abled the County Treasurer to audit
and balance his records daily, and this
year, for the FIRST time. he will be able
to make complete and final distribu-
ton of all taxes collected at or before
the end of the fiscal term, December
lst, 1926. This will prove a tremend-
GUS benefit to all the taxing bodies in
the City of Chicago and Cook county,
as it will enable them to retire their
tax anticipation warrants at an earlier
date, thus saving thousands of dollars
of interest which had heretofore ac-
crued and in addition making il possi-
bic to meet all their financial obliga-
tons promptly. This in itself is the
most remarkable improvement ever
achieved in the Office of the County
Treasurer.
These cash registers and auditing
machines above referred to were the
first machines manufactured and in
stalled for the collection of taxes.

Actuated by an earnest desire to help
the school children and to relieve the
financial difficulties of the Chicago
Board of Education and other school
boards of the county, County Treasurer
p J. Carr and his assistant, Jacob
Lindheimer, went before the last gen.

ton Of an amendment to the state law
providing for the payment to school
boards of interest earned on school
taxes.
The passage of the above amend
ment in a very commendatory resolu-
ton by unanimous vote of the Board
of Education of Chicago, copy of
which was sent to Mr.. Carr and Mr..
Lindheimer.
The new amendment to the law in
effect since July lst, 1925, has enabled
the County Treasurer already to turn
over to the Board of Education of Chi
cago $107, 900 in interest earned as OF

tricts outside of Chicago in Cook

I assumed the burden of paying off
these back taxes and this was done as
rapidly as was possible in view Of the
tangled condition of affairs and the
litigation in which it was involved. At
the present time practically every niece
of my fathers property has been
cleaned up of taxes. The insinuation
that friendship of the states attorney
has enabled me to compromise in a
tax settlement is absolutely false.
"The taxes on this property of my
father have been settled upon exactly
the same basis as all others who have
had to struggle with back taxes and
forfeitures, that is upon the payment
of the taxes in full, plus interest to
date of forfeiture plus penalty of rs
per cent, plus costs.

One Auueduct Pier.

The preservation Of the north span
Of the Aqueduct Bridge is public
question in a large part of Washing
ton west Of Rock Creek and Is prob
ably of considerable interest through
out the city. The Georgetown Ctti-
zens' Association has made urgent re-
quest that the span be converted into
a recreation pier about one hundred
and eighty feet long and forty wide.
Many citizens desire the span saved
for sentimental reasons. 1t is a relic
of old Georgetown. The early Wash
ington and Alexandria canal aqueduct,
which was converted into a toll bridge
and then remodeled and opened as the
Free Bridge" is closely bound with
the history of the city. During all
the years of the bridge many harsh
things were said against it. but 1t
did it's office as well as a bridge Of its
strength and size could. 1t served
the public faithfully. AS seen from
the river it was not an evil-lookine
bridge. One may say that the gray,
tall piers were handsome. At any
rate, the bridge became a feature of
the landscape-one of Washington's
views" Elders remember the bridge
when they were boys, and there are
few boys in Washington who have
not some pleasant recollections of the
bridge which will be brighter and
pleasanter with the passing of time.
There is a great deal of force in the
feeling that the north pier. out Of the
way of freshets and commerce, and
which does not mar the westward
view from the Key Bridge. shall be
saved. AS recreation pier it would
have considerable use. 1t would give
excellent views of the river, the Po-
tomac islands, the Virginia bank and
a long stretch of the Washington
water front. It would also give rest to,
and be a happy lounging place for
mothers and children in the close
built part Of the city near 1t.

pendent" candidates for the general
election. An Independent candidacy.
except on rare occasions, is particu-
larry futile in this country.
Would the nominations of Senators.
under a general convention system.
be cleaner and less open to corruption
than under the primary system? 1t
is doubtful, particularly in view of
the fact that the convention system
was abandoned in some of the States
because of corruption under the con-
vention method. One thing is certain:
Interests or persons bent upon con-
trolling nominations could control
them by the expenditure of less
money in conventions than in State
wide primaries.
The States themselves could return
to the convention system Of nominal
ing Senators, If they desired. No ac-
ton by Congress. no amendment to
the Constitution, would be necessary.
To return to the election of Senators
by State legislatures, which prevailed
until the adoption of the seventeenth
amendment to the Constitution, would
require another amendment to the
Constitution, ratified by three-fourths
Of the States. That Is not likely.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
clean elections, primary or general.
Under any system corruption may
creep in If public officials and the
electorate become lax or Indifferent.

The District Airnort.

The District Chapter, National Aero
nautic Association, has proposed to
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission that 1t allocate or
set aside an area of land within the
boundary Of the District on which an
airport for the District could be con-
structed in the near future or when
the need arises.
The chapters airport committee
suggested, in lieu of anything else,
the area south Of Benning road, which
Is occupied by Lake Kingman. This
has been found to be unsuitable for
the purpose, as the Anacostia Park
project has gone too far to make any
radical changes. The District Chap
ter, however, has received great en-
couragement from the United States
engineers Office for the District, and
possibilities now are open for the &C.
QUESTION of one of three sites within
the District boundary.
Action on site should be taken at
the center of the city are utilized for
other purposes. AS it is recognized
the District must have municipal
airport in the future, there is no time
like the present to act for the proper
location to avoid it being situated far
out in Maryland or Virginia when it
is decided to establish an air terminal.
It is necessary to have the port
within a few minutes travel Of the
center Of the city to avoid losing
much of the time gained by aircraft
travel. The port would be the center
of all but military flying, would serve
to encourage private ownership and
operation Of aircraft, would be the
base for aerial sightseeing tours. a
stopping place for cross-country aerial
tourists, headquarters for commercial
projects, a stop on a mail or freight
line and, by it's cleanliness and ar
rangement, could take its place in the
park system of the District of Colum-
bia.
