Banks who hit homerun which scored
three runs Banks failed to score as
he was called out to retire the side for
not touching second base on his trip
around the paths.
Ely got to Sowa, the Duluth pitcher
for a total of eleven base hits. Krall
scattered the six Duluth hits he yielded
and was especially effective in the
pinches, meanwhile getting scoreless
support from his mates in the field.

team in the seventh and eighth frames,

homerun, after the locals were behind,

10 to 6 victory over the travelling
Giant Collegians Negro baseball team
in a game played here Sunday.
Pirtz started on the mound for Ely
and worked five innings allowing but
four hits but received shabby support
which accounted for six runs for the
visitors. Joe Krall took up the mound
duties in the sixth and held the colored
team to but two scattered safetieS shut
ting them out during the last four
innings.
With lead of to and unable to

jerked their starting pitcher, Yates, at
the end of the sixth inning, who up I'M

was still effective. Payne, their speed

Ely in check but was promptly shelled
by the locals in the seventh with two
singles and then a homerun by Joe
Krall to give the home team three
runs and the lead to 6. In the eighth,
Ely counted three more times on two
doubles, a triple and single, which

For O'Hara the verdict came as
the elimination of series of calam-

November jury in Macomb county,
adjacent to Wayne, found him guilty
of bribery in drainage transaction

California Gold First
Found on Sutter Ranch

1t was on the land of John SUIT
ter, Swiss emigrant to California,
that gold was discovered. Sutter
had gone there in 1889, and by the
time California became United
States territory following the MeXi-
can war he was the owner of an
immense tract which he called New
Helvetia and which, from his "fort"
located at the junction of the Sac
ramentO and American rivers on
the site of what afterward became
Sacramento city, he ruled practical

Liberty League Hits at
Share-Wealth Schemes

4 MEXICAN LIBERTY LEAGUE
n has issued a document concern
ing plans for sharing the national
wealth, calling them mot only i'm
practical but utterly impossible"
Reminding that wealth is not
money, but land, buildings, industry,
railways, raw materials, manufac-
tured goods and metals, the league
said the most feasible method of
dividing it equally among all the
people would be for the government
to issue securities against all prop
erty and then to take oyer it's man
agement.
Actual division of wealth might
give a city apartment dweller an
unwelcOme pig or sheep" the state
ment added, while the farmer might
receive an equally unwelcome piece
of urban property. Division also
would destroy wealth, the league
argued, because separate units Of

have no value"

No UPSETS
The proper treatment
for q bilious child
THREE STEPS
| 70 RELIEVING

A NY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the
sensible way to set things rightl
The ordinary laxatives, of even
ordinary strength, must be carefully
regulated as to dosage.
A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need.
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving of their own
accord and need no help.
This treatment will succeed with
any child and Dith any adult.
The doctors use liquid laxatives.
Hospitals use the liquid form. If it
is best for their use, it is best for
home use. The liquid laxative most
families use is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. Any druggist has it.

New Farm Bill Pushed
for Early Adjournment

T EADERS in congress hope for
IL an early adjournment, by May
l at the latest, and therefore they
pushed the new farm bill forward,
trying to get it through both houses
by the end of of the week. In their
desire to get away from the Capital,
they already had decided to let the
proposed permanent neutrality leg
islation go by the board.
The farm bill as rewritten by the
senate agriculture committee is
based on the soil erosion preven-
tion scheme. Some Democrats
joined with many Republicans in
opposing the measure, one of them
being Senator Walsh of Massachu-
setts. In a statement issued to
the press he declared it was a dan
gerous" bill comforting "autocratic
and blanket authority" on the sec
retary Of agriculture. He said the
measure was neither valid in law
nor valid in economics"
Chairman DoughtOn of the house
ways and means committee said he
expected definite word from the
White House or treasury soon on
the amount and kind of taxes that
might be proposed to finance the
new farm program.
Speaker Byrns said he could see
no reason why the tax measure
should not emerge from the COM
mittee by the end of February.
He and Douglas insisted they
had no advance information on
what the administration might pro-
pose. Many congressman who are
usually well informed said they
looked for a recommendation for
levies to raise more than S5OO.OOO,-
600, perhaps through excise taxes.

Long Newspaper Tax Is
Held Unconstitutional

NOE again the Supreme court
~ of the United States comes to
the rescue of a free press. Unan-
imously the nine justices ruled that
the Louisiana law imposing a puni-
tive tax on the advertising of the
principal newspapers of that state
is unconstitutional. The law was
passed by a legislature controlled
by the late Senator Huey Long.
The court said of it:
ut is bad because, in the light
of its history and of its present
setting, it is seen to be a deliberate
and calculated device in the guise
of a tax to limit the circulation of
information to which the public is
entitled in virtue of the constitu-
tional guarantee.
"A free press stands as one of
the great interpreters between the
government and the people. To al
low it to be fettered is to fetter
in view of the persistent search
for new subjects of taxation, it is
not without significance that, with
the single exception of the Loui-
siana statute, so far as we can dis
cover, no state during the $50
years of our national existence has
undertaken to impose a tax like
that now in question.
"The form in which the tax is
imposed is in itself suspicious. 1t
is not measured or limited by the
volume of advertisements. 1t is
measured alone by the extent of
the circulation of the publication in
which the advertisements are car
ried. with the plain purpose of pc
nalizing the publishers and curtail-
ing the circulation of selected
group of newspapers.

statement follows:
after a thorough survey of the
Ohio situation l am convinced that
the people of that state should be
given an opportunity to express
their choice in the Presidential prf-
mary of May II. Under the So
called 'favorite SON plan this priv
ilege is denied them.
'TO obtain an expression of pop
ular will it is my intention to place
at least eight candidates or dele
gates at large in the field
II shall make number of
speeches in Ohio and present the is
sues as l see them"
1t is understood by his friends
that the senator will make a con-
test for delegates in almost every
state having a preference primary.
He says the G. o. P. conventions
have been dominated by the old
conservative leaders through the
operation Of the "favOrite SON.
scheme and this control he intends
to destroy if possible. 1t is his
opinion that only a liberal Repub-
lican can defeat President Roose-
welt next fall, and few will deny
that he is the OUTSTANDING liberal
in his party.

Rigid Policy Announced
on FILA Mortgages

HOUSEHOLDERS defaulting on
l. 4 government-guaranteed reno
walton and mortgage notes will be
no more gently treated by the FED
eral Housing administration than
are tax delinquents by the Treasury
department. Stewart Mcdonald,
FILA administrator, says there has
been a general misunderstanding of
this matter, and so he enunciates
this policy:
"When a borrower under the
mOdernizatiOn credit plan defaults
on a loan, the lending institution
files claim with the housing admin
istratiOn for the insurance on the
loan. The matter of collecting the
defaulted obligation then is turned
over to the Federal Housing admin
istration.
In such cases it will be the pol
icy of the Federal Housing admin
istration to be just as rigid as the
Treasury department in the collec-
ton of taxes. The collection ma
chinery is well organized and, while
every reasonable consideration will
be given to borrowers in default,
the public must not get the impress
sion that the housing administra-
tion will be lax in performing its
duty.
There is no reason to assume
that borrowers in default will be
treated like tax evaders, but rather
along the same lines as an individ-
ual who is in default of tax pay
mentS."

a resolution for investigation by

saying they would not use the canal
even if no tolls were charged. They
asserted the expense Of employing
