MONEY FROM NIGHT BASEBALL IN
FL CENTRIC USED TO ADVANTAGE
Question Asked By Some Doubling Fans Receives
Answer From Official OF League That
Ought To Satisfy All

and the umsires. The players re-
ceive no remuneration whatever
for playing.
The balance of the income is
used for very beneficial purpose,
that of correcting and developing
the health of local children. The
money SO expended is handled
through a so-called milk fund"
under the able supervision of Guy
A. Weakley, city superintendent CT
schools.
Here are a few of the typical
instances in which a baseball game
has had a healthy and happy af-
feet upon some unfortunate young
ster:
Case l. Dental defects and in
fection were corrected.
Case 2. Eye trouble was detect
ed, corrected and glasses furnished.
Case 3. Chronic infected tonsils
were removed.
Aid Summer School
Besides these cases of direct do
nation, the proceeds also aid in
buying material and equipment for
summer health school. This
school is conducted by Miss Edith
Eickes, local school nurse. Through
the work of this health school, the
number of absences from regular
school is greatly reduced. In one
case, a child had been absent "a
times in one school year, but the
year after he had attended this
health school, he was absent only
once. The records of 40 children
were watched, and absences were
reduced from 432 days to 208 days
per school year. This increase in
attendance brings additional money
to the local system from the state
school fund.
The players, many of whom trav-
el from neighboring towns, are out
for the sport of the game and ask
no compensation. They and their
team sponsors deserve much credit,
as do those men who give their
time and energy in making the Ell
Centro night ball association one
of the best.
The fans may be assured that
whatever donation they make will
serve a triple purpose, it gives the
fans amusement, it furnishes the
players a sport, and best of all it
helps the needy.

RACE AGAINST
TIME STARTS
IN CONGRESS
Administration Hoping To Have
New Legislation Enacted
Before July First
REBELLION IS THREATENED
House Inclined To Balk While
Senate Makes Open Threats
OF Filibuster

WASHINGTON, June 25. UP)-
President Roosevelt drove his tax
the-rich program forward in con-
gress today despite rebellion in the
house and threats Of senate fill
buster.
Schedules of proposed higher tax
es on large corporations and per-
sonal fortunes were drafted.
Schedules designed to carry out
President Roosevelt's program and
add $340,000,000 a year to federal
revenues were drawn up by Chair
man Pat Harrison of the senate
finance committee and treasury ex-
pertS.
Racing against ti,le in a drive
to enact them by July l, Harrison
called his committee to meet at 4
p. m. to consider new rates.
In accordance with Mr.. Roose-
velt's demands, Harrison said he
would try to put the higher inher-
itance, income and corporation tax
es through as an amendment to
the pending nuisance tax extension
resolution.
4ic GCllCdIlNc SCIItuultS QTdWU up
by Harrison and the treasury COW
cred each of the Presidents major
proposals. They provided:
l. A graduate income tax on COR
poration profits ranging from 10
per cent on net profits of $4,000 to
approximately 17h per cent on
profits from $4,000 900 upwards.
The present rate is a flat one of
1871 per cent. Mr.. Roosevelt had
suggested a graduated scale from
10& to 16A per cent.
2. Higher levies on private in
comes over $1,000,000, ranging from
go per cent at $1,000,00O to 80 per
cent on $10,000,000 or more.
3. Taxes on inheritanees of $780,
600 or more, graduated upward as
the present estate tax.
Harrison said a provision prob
ably would be added to place a tax
on those who receive gifts. This
would parallel the present levy on
those who make gifts and would
be designed to close up any possible
loophole i'll the levies.
