MANY PLAYERS ARE LINED UP

New Jersey Skeeters Find No Scarcity of Dia-

NEW YORK, July 14.-It is very doubtful the Jersey City Skeeters will win the International league pennant this year, but it will not be for lack of trying to put to- gether a victorious combination.
 Since Manager Mike Kelly led A strange assortment of 20 players to Lakeville, N. J., for a two-week training trip, following turbulent winter sessions of league officials in an effort to straighten out the clubs financial affairs, 56 players have been on the roster at one time or another.
 Only four of the original 20, three pitchers and one catcher, are still on the team, which has made a good showing despite different lineup almost every day.
 Lefty Perkins, Joe Cascarella and Jimmy McCloskey, pitchers. and Tony Rensa, catcher loaned the Skeeters by Rochester, have sur vived the parade of major league castoffs, players loaned by other teams in the league and just lot

REAL DOPE ON WASHINGTON IS
 GIVEN TO FANS
Jimmy Mahorney, Lucky Bat Boy, Is Sena-
 tors Charm

CLEVELAND, O., July 14.-It's out of the bag. The reason the Washington Senators are setting the American league afire is their l5-year-old bat boy, Jimmy Mahor- ney.
 Suspecting something of the sort reporters here sought out Jimmy, and here is the evidence they found.
 Jimmy once won an Eskimo dog by the turn of a wheel That makes him lucky to begin with.
 And if there isn't something to it, why does Pitcher Alvin Crowder do part of his warm-up before every game by pitching to Mahor- ney?
 Ten-Cent Badge Is Charm
 Jimmy wears a ten-cent badge and every time things look bad Pitcher Bill MoAfee says, Shine it up, Jimmy
 The first day Jimmy wore it, the team won. The next time he wore it the team won, and the same way the third day. That made it a
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-07-14

certain charm. Jimmy is never without it now.
 Once last year he travelled with the team and they won most Of their games. On trips that he did not go along they did not do 50 well. His first trip this year the team had won Is of their last 16 games when the reporters inter- viewed him.
 Gives Players Credit
 But Jimmy is modest. T don't think it's me-" he says. T think it's the way the team is playing. But I guess some of them think I bring them luck. I guess Crowder believes it or he wouldn't have me catch him part of every warm-up. don't think Cronin really believes it, but once he said, Kid, l guess you are pretty lucky"

ROOSEVELT'S POLICIES

From Results of London

QUEBEC, June 8.-The world has
emerged from economic tribulation to
q period of definite hope arising from
the aggressive policies of President
Roosevelt in the United States and
probable results of the approaching
World Economic Conference, according
to M. E. Nichols, president of the Cana

Sky-high tariffs maintained by most

suits of the London conference, Mr..

THOSE INDIRECT TAXES

The direct taxes you pay probably
don't amount to a large proportion
of your income. But if you add
the cost of buying service and commodi-
ties--your total tax bill rises alarmingly.
A report of Southern power COM
pany observes that its taxes-local, state
and federal-amOunted to more than $40
a year for each customer served. The ra-
ito of taxes to gross revenue was more
than II percent. In other words, twelve
cents out of each dollar paid for electric
service went to the tax collector.
The same thing is true, in varying pro-
portion, of everything you buy. Govern
ment accounts for 25 percent or more of
the cost of gasoline. Taxes are major
item in the cost of shipping or travelling by
rail. Taxation is so great burden to the
average business that in many instances it
has prevented expansion that would other
wise have been made, and employment
that would otherwise have been provided.
So, if your direct tax bill is small,
don't think that indicates the cost of gov
eminent is reasonable 1t isn't. It's ex-
cessive, and your taxes are excessive along
with everyone else's. You pay but a small
part of it to the tax collector yourself
the bulk of it is paid for you by the con-
Germs from which yon purchase the nee
essities and luxuries of life. There's no
such thing as levying tax against business
lin the long run, it must all come out of
the public. And that means you.

LOCALIZED SABOTAGE

To raise the price of commodity by
increasing the demand for it at home or
abroad is legitimate; but to raise the price
by reducing the supply through means of
destruction is sheer economic waste.
In the broader sense there is no such
thing as private ownership. The worlds
goods are but lent to mankind.
As individuals we are but trustees.
We may use property, but we may not de-
stroy it,
The government proposes to pay
bounties to cotton farmers who pillow up
and destroy part of their growing crops.
The appeal to the selfish instinct is the
promise of cash reward ia the form of the
bounties and increased price for the pro-
ducts of the fewer acres titled.
But the farmer must also think of the
poorly-clad millions in other countries who
need what his pillow destroys. His moral
code is violated by wanton waste. If only
he had planted fewer acres in the first
place different principle would have
been involved.
lie obstructive ulELHOu VI IEauCillg
acreage is unsound; it is immoral, criminal.
Cotton is not the only commodity
needing an increased price level. House
rentals are down to level which does not
afford the landlord a decent rate of in
terest on his investment plus the taxes and
the cost of repairs; but the government
scarcely would offer bounties to landlords
for burning down all their vacant houses!
There is not an over-supply of houses,
any more than of cotton bales-only re-
duction in the purchasing power of those
who need them. Indeed the government
at Washington recently estimated that all
the present vacancies have been caused by
the doubling up process, and that actually
another half-million of homes is needed.
Legalized sabotage is no better than
legalized arson as a means of economic re-
lief.
