A voice from Indianapolis refer ring to the wholesale slaughter oi the, favorites at Merton, inquires What good are they after they are seeded?"
 The inference is that there must be something wrong with the seeded" stars of golf when seven out of eight of them disappear abruptly from the national amateur championship on the very first day of the match play.
 Anyone not familiar with the situation might be pardoned the suppcsition that it was all for the best interests of the No. seeded contestant, the one and only Robert T. Jones, jr. To all intents and pur- poses, the thousands at Merton witnessed a one-man parade, a solo tournament.
 Yet not even the all-conquering greatness of Jones could account for or obscure the fact that on one day Von Elm, Voigt, Willing, Oui- met, Perkins and others fell by the wayside before the attack of the Iittles, Seavers, Colemans and Me Carthys.
 It was something like the spread of a plague. Upstarts quickly got the idea that this seeding" busi- ness was not to be taken seriously Forthwith they smote the unsus- pscting ones planted in the match play draw with the idea of making it easier to advance.
 Jones, on his way to the grand slam" played only one member Of the original first ten" in the U. $. C.. A. ranking list-Jess Sweetser, who had to play three extra holes even to qualify. Bobby's first round opponent was the No. 20 man in the field, Ross Somerville of Canada. In the finals Jones played Gene Romans, No. IA on the ranking list before-ha
 
 E. Had everything worKed out at Merior according to Hoyle and the U. s. G. A., Jones would have played Johnny Goodman, George Won Elm and either George Voigt or Harrison R. Johnston in the finals. The great Georgian met none of them. He evened an old score with Jess Sweetser by swamp ing the New Yorker in the semi finals, but Jones had played Voigt onlYs in the British Amateur and he has yet to settle an account with Goodman for the upset the Nebraskan sprang at Pebble Beach.
 sectional qualifying play will solVe the problem of making the United States Amateur Golf championship safer for the star competitors and assure them at least a chance In match play. It may be put into ef- feet in time for the 1881 tourna- ment. events having been brought home somewhat sharply at Merton to the games ruling powers.
 The failure of Jimmy Johnston to qualify by the margin of a sin gle stroke, despite a great come back. illustrated the unfairness of the present scrambled type of tour nament. Johnston had no one to blame for his poor golf at the out set. but himself, yet it seemed he was entitled at least to chance to defend his crown.
 The main object of sectional quail ification, however, will be to eliml- nate the necessity of the l8-hoie sudden-death matches. The field probably will be limited sufficiently to allow for all match play at 36 holes.

forestry payrolls. by also creating for
ests upon what Is now unproductiye
idle lands.
Under present conditions where cut
over and virtually worthless lands are
of necessity assessed and taxed as far
MS possible equally with other real
property this land lies idle, and ulti-
mately reverts 10 the counties because
the owners cannot afford to pay tax
assessments. The land goes off the
tax rolls, When reforested, under
present conditions the taxes are such
that the property cannot stand the
drain. SO there is no attempt being
made to reclaim II.
The adoption of the proposal will
ultimately bring about q policy of
reforesting In the state OF privately
owned cut over lands, resulting In tax
profits to the county and state and
creating new products the harvesting
of which will make rev payrolls.
Christmas trees, now being cut in vast
quantities among young trees, will
provide new sources of revenues under
the yield tax idea without interfering
with the stands of second growth
timber, II scientifically handled This
means that within very few years
after planting not only will there be
the regular tax yield on the acreage
valuation, but the yield tax on the
value of the products, as well as pro-
viding work In the forests, a payroll
return.
The entire state will reap the benefit
in the creation of new wealth produce

PROPOSED BILL WILL
INCREASE REFORESTATIoN


One of the first tax bills to be pre-
sented to the Legislature next winter
will come from the Washington For
estry Conference through Its tax COM
mittee.
This bill takes advantage Of the re-
Gently ratified amendment to the state
constitution which authorizes the re-
classification of property for tax pur-
poses.
The bill provides for the assessment
of logged off or cut over lands, suit
able only for reforesting, at rate Of
one dollar an acre. Lands In Eastern
Washington are to be assessed at a
rate of SO cents per acre.
The land when producing, either
timber, Christmas trees or other forest
products will pay a 10 l-2 percent yield
tax. The bill can be called new
forest payroll producing" bill.
The adoption Of this measure has
two fold purpose:
l. 1t will encourage reforestation of
cut over lands, and will prevent such
lands from reverting to the counties
and thus being taken off the tax rolls
for non-payment Of taxes.
2. It will provide, through encour-
agement Of reforesting, new timber
products, creating and perpetuating

100000 annually. Latest researches
indicate that the present annual cost
of bootleg is s2,S4SoOo,oOO, or 1884,
100000 more than was spent in the
days of the saloon. When it is con-
sidered that prices are from $50 to
800 per cent higher now, it would APP
pear that there is less drinking than
before, but it is next to impossible to
estimate the quantity of homemade
beer, wine and other liquid cheer that
is being consumed.

The Best Way Out

While fnanciers lawyers and officials are
debating the insult proposal to take over the
street car lines and put few million dollars
into new tracks and cars, the real need is
law which will permit the people to operate
their own transportation system.
The plan of buses suggested by George
Marott, veteran merchant, has the merit OF
vision. Invention will make the present
street car system obsolete.
The day has passed when banking groups
successfully can brighten populations with
the threat that money for public projects
will be withheld. They no longer can con-
troll progress for private profit.
The plain truth is that private ownership
and operation has been so bad that investors
find the assets of the street car company re-
duced to the point where minor securities
have little or no value, unless the people con-
sent to mortgage future generations to pay
interest on values which no longer exist.
The eternal franchise is an effort to put
several millions of value into bonds and pre-
ferred stock after the real value has been
dissipated and destroyed
Every city must have a transportation
system of some kind. This city wants the
best. The city of the future is not likely for
ever to maintain surface lines that clog the
streets.
No utility organization, no matter how
large, has a monopoly on operating genius or
honesty. 1t is idle to believe that the lines
will stop if this proposal is turned down. Inc
public can employ as good, if not BETTER
talent than has been furnished IN the past'
for the evidence is quite clear that private
management has brought bankruptcy
The one way is for the city to take over
these lines at their real value, operate them
as long as necessary, and substitute more
modern methods as invention furnishes
them.
The people pay the bills. They are paying
now for all the high finance and mismanage-
ment of the past. If they are forced to pay
for such things, the mismanagement and
high finance should be of their own making.
The indianapolis delegation to the legls-
lature should be a unit for measure which
will give the city legal power to own and OPP
crate it's own transportation system.

BEETHOVEN'S BIRTH
December Is

ON Dec. Is, ITO, Ludwig Won
" Beethoven, a German COM
poser, called the unsurpassed mas
ter of instrumental music" was
born in Bonn, Prussia, the son Of
a church singer.
In his fourth year he was COM
PEELED by a father whose desire was
to exhibit his son as a musical
prodigy. to practice daily on the
harpsichord.
When II, Beethoven appeared in
Holland as a piano virtuoso and
then went to Vienna to study with
Mozart.
There he was received in the best
Of society, had excellent patrons
and made rapid progress in the
study of musical form under Mozart
and Haydn.
BY the time he was 30 he had
written twenty sonatas. numerous
trios and quartcts. and his first and
second symphonies.
About this time he was troubled
with a defect in hearing, causing
his subsequent compositions to be
tinged with passionate melan-
choly.
In the symphony" as one critic
wrote. music finds its highest in
tellectual dignity: in Beethoven, the
symphony found It's loftiest master
