Rangers Victorious Over
Gilbert.

The Ranger A. C. basketball team
won a close contest from the Lopp All
Nation team of Gilbert at Gilbert last
Friday. The final score was Rangers
81, All Nations SO. The Rangers staged
a brilliant second half fight to edge
out the Gilbert boys.
With an offense that puzzled the
locals, Gilbert outclassed Ely by wide
margin in the first period and took a
long lead of 16 to 6. Solving the Gil
bert drive in the second quarter the Ely
team outscored their rivals but were
unable to catch up to them. Gilbert
led at the half % TO a.
Opening the second half with a
vicious driving offense the Ely team
took the play away from the Gilbert
five. Nice teamplay coupled with some
excellent shooting enabled the locals in
tying the score at 26 all just before
the third frame ended In the final
minutes of the quarter Ely scored three
points and held % to 26 lead as the
period came to a close. The lead
changed several times in the final
stanza and at times it seemed as if one
team or the other had the game on ice
with a four or five point lead. With
the score tied at 80 all, the Rangers
counted two field goals and free
throw to bring their total to 81. Gil
bert came back with brace of baskets
in fast succession to come within one
point of the locals. Just as the final
gun sounded, Gilbert was awarded a
free throw and with a chance to tie
up the game and force it into an over
time period, the Gilbert man missed,
bringing the game to an end.
Teamwork won the game for the
Rangers. The locals had no individual
stars, each man playing good game.
In scoring the Ely team divided honors,
Nicholas, Pluth and Banovetz each
scoring eight points while Gerzin
garnered nine Zgonc for Ely, played a
fine defensive game at guard and came
through with four points. Bratulich
Kukar and Connors starred for Gilbert
on offense with Mattson shining on the
defense.

FEDERAL TAX
LAW REVISION
SEEN CERTAIN
Next Session to Bring On
Necessary Action, Says
Senator.
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON. June 20.-Whole-
sale revision of federal tax laws TO
equalize the burden among the mil
lions of contributors to the federal
treasury was proposed today by SEN
ator William H. King Dem, Utah)
chairman Of a senate finance sub
committee charged with inVestiga-
ton Of the revenue laws.
King told the United Press that
what he called leaks" such as we're
revealed by investigation of the
J. P Morgan 81 Co. partners, none
Of whom paid income taxes in 1881
and 1882, had demonstrated the
necessity for general revision Of the
tax laws.
A hodge-podge of emergency tax
legislation is on the statute books.
Congress spent months last year in
an effort to balance the budget with
a combination of special sales taxes
and income tax increases.
Revision Is Looming
The treasury continued to spend
more than was collected, and the
session Just ended extended So
called nuisance taxes for another
year and devised new emergency
levies to amortize the administra-
tons $3,300,000,O00 public works
program.
Kings committee will undertake
to lay the foundation for more
equitable taxation. His colleagues
are Senators La Toilette (Rep.
Wis.,; Reed Rep., Pa; Barley
Dem., KY, and Byrd Dem., Va)
King said congress can not escape
general revision of the revenue law
next session.
He said it might not be possible
to obtain a meeting Of the full SUBJ
committee, but that he would pro-
coed alone within the next fort
night to get the inquiry under way
1T is my hope that we will be
able to get rid of most of the NUS
ance taxes enacted in the emergency
revenue act of 1892" he said. That
could be done either by increasing
income taxes, or by means of a gen.
eral sales tax.
Likes Sales Tax Best
Personally, I don't want to in
crease the normal rate on income
taxes. The men and women earn
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 are the
backbone of the country, and in my
judgment, they are paying enough.
But there is pressure both foI
increased normal rates and for a
general sales tax The sales tax
problem is complicated by the fact
that many states recently have re-
sorted to that source of revenue and
if the federal government enacted
a sales tax law we simply would be
adding to the duplication which
already exists between federal and
state taXationS.
In my judgment, however, a sales
tax would permit reduction in the
income taxes.

Ry Science Scruice
CHICAGO, June Weather
service for fiers, now one of the
most actively pursued of the ap-
piled sciences, is no new thing under
the sun. 1t had at least the germs
of beginning in the earliest balloon
ascensions, Willis r. Gregg of the
United States weather bureau told
fellow meteorologists at a joint
meeting with the American Physical
Society here today
In 1874, an American physician
named Jeffries took meteorological
observations during the course of a
balloon ascension, and other OBJ
servers, especially in France, soon
followed his example.
Nearly three generations later,
with a carefully planned series OF
observations made by sergeant Of
the army signal corps during a
balloon fight made especially for
the purpose, the foundation was laid
for the use of balloons, especially
of small unnamed balloons carry
ing recording instruments.

WHEAT CONF AB
A|MSL|STED

Continued decline in wheat
prices since the last international
wheat conferences several years
ago, has intensified the wheat
problem, the Department of Agri-
culture said today in a statement
on the international wheat con-
ference which opened yesterday in
Geneva.
Production continued to outrun
consumption through 1880 and
1881. In 1882, with short crops
in Russia, the Danube basin, and
the United States, production and
consumption were just about bal
anced. AS a whole, however,
world supplies of wheat are still
excessive, and the marked ad-
vances in prices which have re-
Gently occurred in this country
have not been accompanied by
paralleled advances in foreign
markets.
The problems which will have
to be faced in the discussion of
the experts at Geneva are many
and varied, and include: Should
an agreement for wheat control
operate through acreage, through
production, through exports, or
through a combination of these?
Should similar agreements by the
