KLEIN, WHITNEY
 MAY BE SNAPPED
 FOR HACK WILSON
Cubs Anxious to Land Phil Duo for Veteran Fly Hawk Wrigley Is Disguised
BY HENRY McLEMORE IYnia.l nnocr GfnfH CorrnsnnnlRn

BY HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Stan Correspondent New York, Sept 1.-(UP)- Lewis Robert Wilson. whose superb folding act this season has earned him the sobriquet of Hack. the old accordion man," is just about through with the Chicago Cubs. Rather, the Cubs are just about through with him.
 Wriglcy Has Enough
 It's dollars to dill pickles that the bandy-legged. barrel-chested, rty-faced, dirtier uniformed out fielder will be grazing in other pastures when the 1892 edition of the Cubs is assembled. For Will liam Wrigley, Jr, the maharajah of the Cubs, has had enough and plenty of Hack and his slump. And when Mister Wrigley has had suf- ficient of a man there's no use in asking him to have a second helping. Ask Joe Mccarthy. Hell tell you.
 Wrigley makes no effort to con- ceal his disgust with Wilson's 1881 performance. Asked whether or not Hack would be with the team in 1892, Wrigley answered:
 "I sincerely hope not. Wilson was a fine player last year but this year he has been a bum. You can't be a playboy at night ana a ball player the next day. l hope some other club.
 May Go to Phillics
 You don't have to read be- tween the lines of Wrigley's state ment to get the fact that Hack Is headed for some other town Which town? Well, reports have 1t that Hack, accompanied by something like $15o,o00 will SC to the phillies for Chuck Klein and Pinkey Whitney. We hope this report is untrue, for bad as Hack has been. he doesn't deserve such severe punishment. Siberia But the Phillies? Never!
 Hero Yesterday, Bum To-day. Babe Ruth's favorite baseball maxim, "one day you're a hero. the next day you're bum, fits Will son like a suit of Klassy Kut kol' lege Kiothes. A year ago the Hackamore kid had 46 home runs and his name in more headlines than Hoover. To-day Hack has I12 home runs and you can't ever | find his name in the boxscore. A Fighter.
 You'd betetr count a million by ones, however, before you have Hack out of major league baseball He proved he had a fighting hear bigger than watermelon ano didn't know what quit meant wher he came back in 19S0 after miserable showing in the l92. world series against the Athletics Remember after the series how they were saying the coal miner never would live down those fl, balls he lost in the sun and Tel run between his legs? And re member how he showed up hi critics by coming back in 193' to prove the outstanding ball play CT of the year?
 If the Cubs do get Klein ant Whitney they will be tough tt beat. With Whitney on third English at short, Jurges at sec ond and possibly Jim BottomleS on first, the Chicagos would have an infield. gentleman, an infield
 And that outfield with Klein Cuyler and young Barton wouldn't be a slouch. This Klein man, whe already hits anything they throw up there, Is getting better witf the passing of each game. A cou' ple of more seasons and he Is like. ly to be the best man in the league.

Hartford. Conn, March 6.-Every one of the one hundred and fourteen posts of the American Legion Tn Connecticut has been provided With the forms and information necessary to aid needy veterans in their ap- plication for loans on their adjusted service com pensation certificates, ac- cording to an announcement maue by department headquarters of the legion in this city.
 Accompanying the thousands of forms furnished to all posts, depart ment officers of the legion have is- sued an appeal for those not in inn mediate need from clogging the overtaxed machinery of the veterans bureau. All ex-service men who are not in need are urged to defer ming application for loans in order that men whose need for help is pressing may be cared for with all possible dispatch.
 Veterans who already have loans outstanding have been instructed 10 secure form 1185 from the nearest legion post. In the case of those men whose loans were through banks, this form should be sent di- rectly to the Veterans Bureau at WaSnlnStOI. III dA oehS where the loan was negotiated through regional office of the bu- reau application for the new loan should be sent to that regional office. Tn cases where loans are already in existence it is unnecessary, according to official advices, for the veteran 10 have his new application sworn to before a notary or other official.
 The national rehabilitation com mittee of the American Legion has calculated that veterans who avail themselves of the loan and do not repay interest on the dates when It is due will consume the balance Of the value of their certificates in in- terest compounded at 1-2 per cent over the life of the certificate.
 All veterans have been urged by the legion and by the United States Veterans bureau to refrain from cor responding, telephoning or otherwise communicating with the bureau with respect to their loans, since such procedure will add to the already overburdened staffs of the various regional offices.
 In this last connection it is point ed out that no provision has yet been made by law or by bureau regulation to increase the forces handling such loans.
 Legion state headquarters has summarized the procedure as fol- lows:

DEATH VALLEY
 WALTER SCOTT"
 IS IN HOLLYWOOD
Man, Who Threw Money Away a Few Years Ago, Is Having Some Trouble With the Government
BY RONALD w. WAGoNER

United Press Staff CorresOnpdent) Hollywood, Mar 6. (UP)-Death Valley Walter Scott has "gone so- ciety" and intends to give Hollywood as big a thrill as he gave the na- tion in 1905 when he travelled in a special train from Los Angeles to Chicago and threw silver dollars to crowds along the way.
 The federal government, accord ing to a statement by Scotty, has some young surveyors messing around" his $2,00O,00O mansion in Death Valley, and he intends to play around in Hollywood until he finds out what the surveyors are up to-" Scotty said that the government plans to build national park in Death Valley, which, if true, would interfere with the Scott idea of privacy.
 Think I'm going to live in the middle of national park after bucking the resert all these years?" asked Scotty. Mot me. The tour- ists would be feeding me like they do those bears in Yellowstone. I'm going to be one of the social lights of this town until Uncle Sam decides what is what with my land." Scotty went on to say that he meant to be a playboy in the film center and intended to stay out "un-. til a. m. or later,," if he could find any excitement.
 Death Valley Scotty first became prominent in 1905 when he had an unlimited gold cache in Death Val ley. He took a special train from Los Angeles to Chicago in A hours,
 54 minutes, record which still | ls, txa ntA A1 Scotty tossed money from the ob- servation platform.
 A few years ago he started building his castle in Death Valley. He ad- omitted A. M. Johnson, Chicago multi millionaire, was his partner, and the myth of Scotty's mystery mine was blasted.

INCOME TAX PUSH STARTED TODAY
 ALL OVER NATION
About 4,OO0,OOO Citizens Must Pay-It Is One Per cent Higher This Year Than the Amount of Last Year

Washington, March 6.-(UP)-An army of approximately 100000 federal taxpayers prepared to-day for the annual "battle of the income tax"
 Wage earners and multimillion- aires alike will pay income taxes at a rate of per cent higher than in 1890, when temporary tax cut was in effect. The change back to the 1929 rate was the only important difference between the terms this year and last.
 Indicating the size of the job con- fronting the internal revenue bureau, 16 carloads of paper were needed to print forms distributed to the na- tion's taxpayers.
 Receipts from income tax collec- tions due at midnight March 16 are expected by the treasury to be con- siderably less than last March de- spite the increased tax rate. Last March the treasury received $559,- 000,000 from this source.
 For the last calendar year the treasury collected in income taxes s2,332,968,393, which was $170,000,- coo less than for the preceding year. In.ome taxes account annually for about half the total revenue of the government. Cost of government is about $4,OOO, 100000 annually.
 Corporations, though numbering only about a fourth of the individ- ual taxpayers, contribute most of the income tax to federal revenues. The corporation normal tax rate is now a flat 12 per cent.
 Owing to sharply curtailed il- comes during. 1880, federal revenues this year will suffer heavily as in- come taxes are paid on the income of the preceding year. Secretary Mellon has estimated the treasury will end this fiscal year June 30 with S600,000,000 deficit.
 Most corporations avail them selves of the privilege of paying their taxes in four, equal installments in March. June, September and Decem- Der, the bulk of smaller taxpayers, however, pay their whole amount in March, thus swelling the revenues of that month beyond any other.
 It cost the government $34, ,352,063, not including tax refunds. to collect income taxes last year, or $1.13 for each $100 collected.
 Severe penalties await the taxpay- CT who fails to file return and pay his income tax on time. Wilful fail- ure to report is punishable by fine of $10,000 or Imprisonment for a year, or both, and penalty of 25 per cent of the tax. Filing of a fraudulent return subjects the tax payer to a $10,000 fine or five years in jail, or both. and 50 per cent of the tax due as an additional pen- alty.

God proposes, man disposes".
Nature gives us many and varied assets.
If we utilize these assets, they become advantages to
our city and to our section.
If we let them lie dormant. they are as much frozen
assets as are notes held by a bank which are uncollectable.
The Valley is capitalizing on its climate. In fact,
were it not for the climate with which nature has endow-
ed this section, the development we see on every hand
would never have been envisiond by those who first saw
the possibilities of this section.
We are capitalizing on the richness of our soil, which
combined with our climate, enables us to send vegetables
TO the market at all seasons of the year, and which makes
our citrus crop of such exceptional sweetness that it ranks
head and shoulders above the crops produced by COM
peting sections.
Our Valley cities. however, many Of them, are failing
to utilize the potentialities of various and sundry natural
advantages placed at their very doors.
Major A. f. Wood, city planning expert, is authority
for the statement that a large sum Of money expended by
the city of Brownsville in building a drive around the re-
SAGA and otherwise improving the shores of that body of
water would be worth more to Brownsville than the con-
struction of a large municipal auditorium.
There are those who would argue the point Of the
relative advantages of the two with Major Wood. None
would argue that the retaca could not be made a beauty
spot which would add materially to the appearance Of the
city and which would give pleasure to residents Of the
city and to our tourist visitors
AS another example may we point out that the city
of San Benito has the same sort Of an advantage in the re-
SAGA which lies within its city limits? Residents Of the
Resaca City have been talking for some years Of improv-
ing the banks of their resaca and of building a drive
around that body Of water. They envision the beauty spot
which will result.
Not a city in the Valley which does not have some
similar natural advantage, lying at its very doors, which
can be made a capital asset of that city.
In some cases the expense would be comparatively
small, in other cases it would be greater.
However, in planning for the future, our ValldB cities
will plan wisely if they include in their plans the utiIiza-
ton Of the assets which nature has given them.
