N. L. Champions Play Six
Games in Four Days
With Braves; Giant
Pitchers Erratic.
BY LEO Fl. PETERSEN
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 49,
Western teams of the Ma
tional League began their
second invasion Of the east
today.
The st. Louis Cardinals, current
pace settlers, face a schedule which
calls for twenty-one games in SIX
teen days before they return to
western soil. If the 1880 champions
can finish that assignment by win
ming the majority Of their games
they will become heavy favorites to
repeat their performance Of last
year unless the Chicago Cubs or
New York Giants turn In a pro-
longed winning streak.
There is nothing to indicate that
the Cubs are going to bowl over
Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn and
New York with any great degree Of
consistency.
Mound STAFF Wobbly
Furthermore, the New York pitch
ing staff appears too wobbly for
John McGraw's club to have any
marked success against the Cardi-
nails, Cubs, Pittsburgh and Cincin-
natl.
The Cardinals, holding a three
game advantage over the second
place Giants, began their invasion
by meeting the Boston Braves six
times in four days. Following this
series they go to Philadelphia for
four contests in three days; Brook
Ign for five games in four days;
New York for four tits in as
many days, and back again to Phila-
delphia for a double-header.
Clark Stops Pirates
In addition to testing the strength
of the Cardinals, the current in
vasion Of the western teams may de-
eide sectional supremacy. Thus far
each section has won "A contests,
while dropping the same number.
Brooklyn's 2 to 0 victory over
Pittsburgh Wednesday pulled the
eastern clubs up to 500 average
in their competition with western
teams. Lefty Clark allowed the
Pirates only seven scattered hits in
registering his second consecutive
shut out. His batting also was a
factor, for his double drove in one
of the two runs Brooklyn got off

tional League contest scheduled.

LAST SMASH AT
CAPONE THUGS
Grip of Gunner to Be
Broken Completely,
Officers Promise.
BY RAY BRENNAN
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 18.-The United
States government began today to
mop up what is left Of Al Ca
pone'S gang.
With the Big Bullet" himself
under plea of guilty, leaving his
lesser lights to shift for themselves,
the government sent scores Of
agents out into the underworld to
round up the sixty-eight other
gangsters indicted with their chief
and charged with 5000 violations Of
prohibition laws.
Federal prosecutors promised that
this final thrust against gangland
would snap the last bond that has
bound Chicago to the underworld.
Many to Be Sentenced
BY the time the gang leader en-
tiers Leavenworth penitentiary
shortly after June 80 many of his
thugs, liquor peddlers, torturers,
vice-mongers and gunner also will
be under sentence, federal agents
predicted.
Acting under orders from Wash
ington, the government agents de-
scended almost simultaneously on
many underworld resorts in Ca
pone's badlands,'' the district i'm
mediately surrounding State and
Twenty-Second streets.
If the gangsters disclaim connec-
ton with Capones liquor syndicate,
which flooded the midwest with
5000, 100000 worth of beer in the
last decade, they will be turned over
to A. P. Madden, chief of the in
ternal revenue department intelli-
gence unit in Chicago.
Case Is Strengthened
Maybe we will be able 10 = :
that many other gangsters in add
ton to Capone defrsuded the gov
eminent in neglecting to mail their
income tax returns" said Madden.
The same overwhelming mass of
evidence which put sudden fear of
the law into Capone likewise is
available against his sixty eight
hirelings, federal agents pointed out.
"Scarface APs' plea of guilty was
believed to have served to strength
en- the case against them.
By United Press
NEW YORK, June 18.-The gov
eminent agents who broke the gang
of Scarface AL Capone invaded
Americas largest city today to begin
a new drive against public
enemies" numbered here at some
1900.
Elmer E. Trey, chief Of the special
intelligence section Of the internal
revenue bureau, who obtained the
evidence which forced Capone to
plead guilty to evasion of income
tax and violation of the prohibition
laws, will direct a picked squad of
expert income tax investigators in a
drive here against racketeers who
have grown wealthy from liquor,
narcotics and operation of shady
night clubs.
Investigators have been porting
over bank records and other docu-
ments which might shed some light
on the vast incomes of public
enemies" in New York's underworld
for the last two months.

thus get more Of the money out
amongst the producers where it right
fully belongs. The farmers have pro-
duced an abundance of agricultural
products and the laborers in the cities
have produced manufactured articles
in abundance, but the trouble is that
neither has the money with which
to purchase that which they have
produced. Putting men to work on
a public works program will give them
buying power again and will make it
possible for the farmer to sell his
products. We are in mess now and
it is the quickest and best way out
of it. And then hereafter more at
tention should be paid to the proper
taxation of those who can we'll afford
it and who are getting the greatest
protection from government, so that
we do not go through another rs years
of wealth Capitalization such as in
the past quarter century. The fed
eral income tax, Inheritance, estate,
and gift taxes, can properly be used
as a means of wealth decentralization
without taking the initiative away
from anybody.

THE MONEY QUESTION
Editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
Concerning the silver question that
is coming more and more to the front
as one of the issues that will help
to solve the present mess we have
gotten into, it is surprising to OBJ
serve the general misunderstanding
of this issue and the general effect
most people think it will have. The
two problems preventing any eco
nomic recovery is the concentration
of wealth and the high Indebtedness
governmental and private. At the
present commodity values there is
enough outstanding debt to enable a
few people to control the entire re-
ceipts from business just by collect
ing interest.
Contrary to the general view, going
on a silver standard or part silver
standard, would not only help the sill
yer states, but would raise. all COM
modify values in relation to gold, our
current standard. The old sixteen to
one ratio between gold and silver ad-
vocated by Bryan is not generally
understood. If we adopt this ratio
or any other ratio consistent with the
production of gold and silver, silver
would have the same coinage rights
as gold now has and this would tend
to put more money in circulation and
forcing the coinage of more money
and lowering the buying power of the
dollar. The idea that person would
have to carry lot of silver around
is of course pure nonsense put out
by the powers that be in order to de-
feat the issue. Paper money, OF
course, could be issued as we'll with
gold and silver standard as with gold
alone a standard.
The silver standard is one of the
most important issues necessary to

PUT MEN TO WORK

Conservatives and reactionaries are
largely those who warn against en-
larging on public works program at
this time with the statement that 1t
will raise taxes and that they have
to be paid. Needed public works
should be started as soon as possible
for the simple reason that it Is much
better people earn their Irving than
to be asking aims. and it creates a
healthier condition. And as long as
their is plenty of wealth in the coun-
try why in the name of common sense
should it not be put into circulation?
As long as there is so much unem-
ployment the market for agricultural
products will not be good.
Concentration of wealth is largely
what has put the country into this
dilemma. OF course a national public
works program will have to be paid
for out of taxes, but let 1t come from
the proper source, the income, In

ARMISTICE DAY

Thirteen years ago on November II
by mutual agreement the great World
war ceased. The men climbed from
mud soaked and rodent infested
trenches to breath the air that only
a moment before had been permeated
with the smoke from many guns. 1t
was an air of freedom hat they
breathed. Freedom from facing the
Internal machines sent by the hellish
side of nations to destroy loved
comrades. Hundreds upon hundreds
of brave men gave their lives in that
struggle only few short minutes be-
fore the order which would have saved
them for their loved ones. But the
sacrifice had been made and those
left on both the losing armies and
the winners had carried on until this
grand awakening from wars awful
dream was to send them hOmeward
to the pursuit of rebuilding a wrecked
humanity.
We did not forget those who made
the supreme sacrifice. We have car
ried on these thirteen years. The
American Legion was organized to
carry on in peace for the benefit of
the ideals brought forth from the war.
This organization, with its auxiliary,
annually stages programs of celebra-
tons for the peace that that day had
brought to the world.
We hope that these celebrations
may always take place and carry with
them more and more an impression
of desire for peace to future gener-
ations. For only those who went
through the struggle, both at home
and in the trenches, can know of the
horror and the futility of war. Co
operation in the world can gain more
than arms. On this glad Armistice
day, programs should be interpreted
as not only time for rejoicing but
also as a demonstration against war.

should pass some form of legislation
as for instance the McNary-Haugen

HOW ADVERTISING HELPS

Advertising by the individual mer-
chant makes a great difference in the
prosperity of a whole town and COM
munity. The business house which
does not advertise is not only losing a
great opportunity to increase the
business of that particular business
but is putting brake on the prog
ress of his town. Newspaper adver-
Using brings people to town. The
more merchants of that town who use
this means, the more people go to it
to trade and do all their buying. One
or two business concerns cannot
shoulder all the burden. In towns
where they do, the trade is going over
the good highways to other towns
where cooperation is better.-(Wins-
low Qnd.) Dispatch).

THE COST OF DESTRUCTION

During the Christian Press Con-
gress in Koln, Germany, it was
brought out that the World war, &C
cording to the best statisticians, had
cost 80 millions of human lives and
400 billions of dollars. To make this
tremendous cost more comprehensive
it might be illustrated in practical
figures. For this amount there could
have been built house at a cost of
$4,000 with furnishings at $1,000, con-
structed on five acres of land at 500
per acre. Each family in the United
States, Canada, Australia, Wales,
Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium,
Germany and Russia, could have been
presented with such a home.
Furthermore after doing this there
would have been enough money left
to give every city with a population
of 100000 and over in each of these
countries library costing $4,000, 900,
a hospital costing the same amount
and university at an erection cost
of $1O,0OO,0O0 Then from the re-
mainder an amount could have been
set aside which at per cent inter-
est would pay yearly salary of $1,000
for all time to 125,OO0 instructors
and $4,000 nurses with still some
money left over.
What an amount to be paid for de-
struction Of the cream of humanity!

Andrew Carnegie advocated a pro-
gressive federal inheritance tax that
would confiscate all of a decedent' s
estate except a moderate allowance to
immediate heirs. Mr.. Carnegie made
the points that the accumulation of
great wealth can occur only through
the appropriation by the individual of
values produced by society so that
the return of his wealth to the nation
was but just retribution; that no
injustice was done to the decedent's
heirs, since by no labor of their own
had they earned title to their
ancestors wealth, and that in so far
as equality of opportunity" and "dem-
ocracy" were American ideals the
heirs could not complain because as
it was their opportunities would be
better than those of laborers' sons,
that inherited wealth was more often
a curse than a boon to rich heirs;

THE CRIME OF BANK ISLANDER
minneapolis JournaD

A recent arrest in Minnesota serves
to call attention to the fact that in
this state it is misdemeanOr, punish
able by fine or Imprisonment or both,
falsely to charge any banking concern
with actual or threatened insolvency.
by the 1929 legislature, and the case
now to be tried is said to be the first
to arise under its provisions.
SOlvency is the most vital trait of
any banks character. 1t is as truly a
SANDER to spread false reports about a
banks solvency as to asperse by lies
the honor of a man or the virtue of a
woman. Many bank has had to I'M
dergO run of its depOsitors, because
of whispered reports of it's insolvency
passing from mouth to mouth, all en-
tirely false yet capable of doing un-
told damage. In some cases perfectly
solvent banks have been closed be-
cause of such ISLANDERS, not being able
to realize on their liquid resources
quickly enough to Withstand the sud
den runs. Such an occurrence means
numerous tragic losses in the COM
munity-all because of whispered
ISLANDERS.
The Minnesota law is a good one
and should be rigidly enforced. 1t
furnishes an effective antidote, much
needed in days like these, to the poi
son of whisperers who go about pour
ing it into mems ears.

1t is time to reduce some of our
swollen fortunes. These fortunes,
many of which have been accumulated
by methods at least very questionable,
if not downright dishonest, constitute
the greatest menace to the well-being
of this country of ours. The only
country that is safe from its own peO-

they are getting a square deal. The
people of this country no longer be-

their conception of a square deal with

the belief that they are not getting it.

THE FATHER OF GOOD ROADS
(The Minneapolis Tribune)

1t is probable that it will be with
justified reluctance that history will
ascribe to any one man the sponsor
ship of the good roads movement in
Minnesota. But it is equally certain
that it will find few men whose right
to the title, father of good roads,"
was better dOcumented than that of
the late Robert c. Dunn. Not only
was his name connected with one of
the first laws that looked to road
building as a state as we'll as local
problem, but his influence counted in
shaping the states biggest road pro-
gram which saw it's beginning only
little more than decade ago.
The name of Bob Dunn, and his
contribution to Minnesota's road sys-
tem, is to be recalled today at the
dedication of bridge across the Rum
river not far from Princeton, the vii
lage to which he came in 1876 and
where he was the editor of a news
paper for AZ years. The name of Bob
Dunn is prominently linked in Mime
sofa with that of journalism, politics,
conservation and good roads. In all
of these fields he made the courage
of his leadership felt.
Through his newspaper Mr.. Dunn
carried on a continuous campaign for
systematic and a statewide plan of
highway construction. At the time
there was nothing that suggested a
comprehensive road program in Min
nesota. When the Elwell law failed
to bring the results that had been
hoped, Mr.. Dunn advocated a consti-
tutional amendment levying a one
mill state tax, the proceeds of which
were to be distributed among the
