years. For this reason, this trans
itory asset should produce a
greater tax than that paid by the
home owner and farmer, who will
| always be with U.S. Under our
! present system of taxation, the
iron mining companies pay a far
| smaller proportionate tax than
does the farmer and owners of
real property"
Hits High Court
Striking at the recent state
supreme court decision upholding
the mining companies in their
right against payment of taxes on
basis established by the state
tax commission, the governor as
serted:
1T has been traditional in this
country that the judiciary never
impose its discretionary judgment
against the discretionary acts of
administrative officers of govern
ment. Yet in its recent iron ore
tax decision, our supreme court
wrote into the law as a mandate
specific formula which our tax
ing authorities are expected to
follow.
I'm doing so, the court, in my
opinion, overstepped its authority
and even went SO far as to pass
legislation. Here we have a good
example of usurpation of power
by the courts.
lon taxes in general" the gov
ernor declared, I'VE may as we'll
face the issue frankly and lay our
plans. 1t is a longtime program
upon which we are embarking, a
program which squares with the
most enlightened theories of mod
ern government.
Increased expenditures for the
new obligations which govern
ment must assume" he stated,
must be regarded as current ex-
penditures and must be met by
current revenues. 1t would be I'M
fair to meet them through bond
issues or through increasing the
states bonded Indebtedness.
If you adopt tax revision pro-
gram in accordance with ability
to pay" he. said, 1--WE need have
no fear that the state will be I'M
able to meet all of its obligations
to its citizens in full This is the
proper method for raising govern
mental revenue, recognized by tax
experts throughout the world.
GAS a matter of fact, the dpst
of all social security should be
borne by tax on wealth-state
and federal. It is perfectly pro-
per for you to urge congress to
revise our national tax system so
that social security will be paid
by wealth and not by the masses
who can i'll afford it."
In recommending a state liquor
| dlspensary system Governor Ben
son said no one can escape the
conclusion that conditions now are
worse than they were under the
| old system when we had the SAL
DON. 1t is quite obvious that liq-
uor traffic in private hands can
not be controlled"
He declared, "the state is inter
ested in the question primarily as
a matter of temperance and social
control, with revenue of second
airy importance.
"Publicly-owned liquor Stores"
he stated, ''offer the most effective
method of meeting the problem"
Among other recommended
tons of the governor were those
requesting that interest rates be
lowered as means of combating
loan sharks" of establishing a
state-owned cement plant because
the cement industry is trust
controlled" of abolition of the
state conservation commission and
of return of the legislature to a
DartiSan basis

New York 1U,P)-The Chicago
Cubs are one of the most interest
ing teams in baseball. They
haven't the dashing, do-or-die
spirit of the Cardinals, out all-in-
all, on and off the field, they
have a group of the mot intrigu-
ing athletes in the game.
Here are a few random notes
on the Cubs:
Gabby Hartnett- Big, blatant,
lovable who can drink as much
beer as any player in the league,
holler as loud and long, and keep
a team on it's toes and fighting to
the last ditch. He's one of the
best hitters, but his average does
not show it because he's slower
than a big truck climbing hill.
A great story teller, a good anna
teur magician and an expert card
player.
Larry French-One of the most
energetic players in baseball. AL
ways doing something, on and off
the diamond. Knows perhaps more
people than any player in the ma
jors. Lives in Beverly Hills among
the movie stars. An accomplished
speaker. One of the best dreSSers
and most handcome players in
league.
Roy Parmelee-The Giants wor-
ried him, and the Cards harassed
him. The Cubs let him alone and
he found himself. One of the
strongest players in baseball. Easy
going. Walks in sleep.
Bill Jurges-Peck's bad boy. AL
ways up to something mischievouS.
Plays game up to hilt which
sometimes get him into hot water
with rival players.
Bill Lee-One of most conScien-

London, June 25.-W.P)- Syd-
ney HullS, London prizefight pro-
moter, today offered 100000 to
Joe Louis to fight Buddy Baer of
California here.
He said IF Louis wins" Joe
would be in line for bout with
the winner of the Max Schmeling-
Tommy Farr bout which will be
held here, probably on Aug. 9, for
the worlds heavyweight champ
ionShip."
Meantime Mike Jacobs, promo
ter of this weeks Chicago bout in
which Louis won U. S. recognition
as world champion by knocking
out Jimmy Braddock, repeatedly
was dickering with H. w. David of

Chicago, June 25.-tU,R)-A mer-
ciless sun blazed down on Wrig-
ley Field, and Charlie Grimm and
his te-uniformed Cubs swell
tered in the heat. Although Man
ager Charlie was drenched with
perspiration, he was in excellent
humor as he lauded the club as
the best he ever managed.
Mopping his brow with a towel
Charlie said, This is my sixth
season as manager of the Cubs,
and this team is the best Of them
all for balance, spirit and speed.
Be.ides, it's a young club. I think
we're going place this time al
though the pennant race is shap-
ing up as the hardest four corner
ed fight I've ever seen in the Ma
tional league. It'll be that way
right down the stretoh,I guess,
with the Cubs, Cardinals, Giants
and Pirates battling it out to the
last game"
Grimm had high hopes that his
Cubs would win the bunting. He
had seen his boys battle towards
the top a month ago when six reg
ulars and second-string catcher
Ken O'Dea were on the Sidelines
with illness and injuries.
Within the past two weeks all
convaleccents returned to duty:
Second Baseman Herman, Short
stop Jurges, and Pitchers French,
Davis and Carleton and Catcher
Hartnett.
80 everything is hotsy- totsy
now" Grimm continued. And the
club is playing swell. Billy Jurges
is going like a ball of fire. I guess
he's the most improved player OF
the club over last seacon. He's hit
ting around $50 and his fielding
is fine. Rip Collins, who has done
fine work at first base and stead
led the inficld, has started to hit
we'll and that is a very important
factor. And Augie Galan is really
going to town in the outfield."
In addition, Charlie said the
pitching staff was doing well. And
he was pleased exceedingly with

Max Schmeling
Worlds Champ

Paris. June 25.-U.P)-The In
ternational boxing union today
formally proclaimed Max Schmel-
ing of Germany world heavy
weight champion because of his
victory last June over Joe Louis.
The I.B.U. pointed out that
Braddock had evaded a scheduled
title meeting with Schmeling in
New York, June 3. The union is
the same organization which once
proclaimed the venerable George
Godfrey champion in place Of Max
Baer.
Gables were dispatches to the
New York state athletic commits
sion and to the British board of
boxing control asking that they
concur in the proclamation. Fur
ther, the I.B.U. stated that
Schmeling's title will be at stake
when Schmeling fights Tommy
Farr of Wales in London, prob
ably on Aug. 9.

the 10 victories already contrlbut-
ed by two young FINGERS, Bryant
and Shoun. He prai1ed both hurl-
ers with the same impartiallty -
but l could see the gleam OF pride
in his eyes as he looked at Bryant,
who may prove the sensation OF
the Chicago mound staff this .ea-
son.
Everyone on the club is mighty
proud of Henry Claiborne Bryant
and his sudden rise to pitching
success. They argue Henry'3 ef-
forts and achievements sort OF
symbolic the fighting spirit OF
the Cubs. They call him young
Bryant. But he's actually Is years
old. He's a tall, muscular, brown
haired chap who packs 1875 pounds
on a 6 foot, 2l2 inch beam. He
throws right-handed, and he's a
fast ball specialist. He was just a
reliefer with the Cubs in '35 and
'36 and he walked more men than
Coxey's army. He had binding
speed but no control. And he
was still wild in training this
spring.
Henry .tarted working on him
self about the time the season
opened. Every day he went to
practice early. He SteppeE into the
pitchers warmup box near the
stands and threw the ball to
Catcher Gabby Hartnett or Ken
O'Dea. He practiced throwing the
ball over the plate-regardlesS OF
speed, curves or anything else.
And he's been doing it every day
since.
As a result, Bryant has walked
only three men in his last 38 inn
ings of pitching. And he register
ed five victories against one loss
this season. He beat Dizzy Dean
in a pitching duel on Decoration
Day. His flinging efficiency is
causing much comment around
the circuit. Manager Grimm sees
him out there practicing every
day, and Grimm chuckles to him

to be hotsy-totSy.

DR.. Sloan Says POultrymen Should
Look Beyond Spring Conditions
In Planning Flock Size

It is called to the attention of
local poultry growers that hatchery
men are reporting considerable
drop in numbers of chicks sold this
spring as compared with 1885. DIR.
H. J. Sloan, professor of Poultry
Husbandry, University Farm, said
today that high feed prices un-
doubtedly are the explanation, but
pointed out that Poultrymen should
look beyond spring conditions when
planning how many pullets to raise
Probable egg prices and feed costs
next fall and winter should be the
determining factors, rather than
present prices and costs, he
emphasized.
Fall and winter egg prices ma
turally will be influenced by the
supply Of eggs during those seasons
Professor Sloan points out. Judg-
ing by the marked reduction in
Matching this spring, there will be
fewer pullets and lower egg pro-
duction during the fall and winter.
Present storage operations are not
excessively heavy, SO prices are not
likely to be depressed by large
storage holdings.
Another fact pointing toward
stronger prices next fall Is the in
creasing demand for poultry pro-
ducts as indicated by a lively out
of-storage movement Of poultry.

watched it grow.
Always, it seems, there was this
splendid mind to guide us in civic
affairs,-that mind with its cog
ency of reasoning, its powers Of
intricate analysis and quick and
sound judgment. We had learned
to depend upon The Doctor.
Today we mourn our loss. The
Doctor has gone out from us but
his philosophy and his ideals shall
linger on to guide us and direct US.

"TIIE DOCTOR"
(By R. J. Malloy)

Sank Centre has lost it's foremost
citizen. Its foremost citizen for
more than half a century! Sank
Centre today mourns it's loss in the
passing of DR.. ]. A. Dubois.
The Doctor would be the fore
most citizen in any community. His
was a character and personality
naturally fitted to make him a
leader Of men. His leadership was
an unobtrusive leadership, not of
the torchlight variety. Rather was
it a leadership that wins mems con-
fidence and mems hearts and holds
them to him irrevocaIbly.
The touchstone of his greatness
lay in his unimpeachable sincerity
and honesty and in his intellectual
brilliance. It lay also in his hum
ility. This same man who could
read a thesis on medicine before
the nations most renowned physi-
clans and receive their applause
and appreciation could rub elbows
with the rank and file Of the cit
izenry Of this community and be
part and parcel Of that citizenry.
In his attachments he reached to
the heights yet his feet were al
ways on the ground.
The writer had known The Doc
tor for only seventeen years. One
could not truly know him in seven
teen years nor in seventy years for
there was much about him to know.
Like the many facets of the per-
fectly cut diamond, each with it's
symmetry and its radiance and it's
beauty, so were the many connota-
tons in the character and the per-
sonality Of this man. He was phil
osopher, poet, orator. He was a
country doctor yet famed for his
knowledge of the science of medi-
cine. He was sensitive even unto
sadness at human suffering and
human woes. Yet withal he was, in
the buoyancy Of his nature, wit and
humorist. He knew how to make a
smile replace a tear in the sick
and the sorrowful. He was physi-
clan not merely of the body but Of
the spirit and heart as WELL
A pioneer! The Doctor was the
true pioneer when first he cour-
ageously drove his horse and bug
gy into this scattered and small
pox ridden community more than
fifty years ago. 1t was his un-
daunted courage and his foresight
then that caused him to remain
and that same pioneer spirit he
carried with him to the last for to
him there was always much to be
done for the alienation Of human
woes and for the civic veal Of Sank
Centre.
