The proposed tax bill for the Di strict Of CO.

vides for drastic change in the Districts methods
Of tax collection.
Under the proposed Law, the present business
privile tax and the intangible property tax would
DO repealed. In their place would be substituted
per cent. sales tax, a corporate income tax, q
levy earned and ,uearned income SIS 900
(Which would exempt the salaries Of laTrakers)
and special utility tax. AS at present contem-
plated the sales tax would exempt purchases under
25 CENTS with exemptio ns for food, medicine gaso-
line and liquor, although member Of the House
District Committee, sentative Dan licGehee Of
Mississippi has indicated that he will press for the
removal Of all exemptions.
That the provisions Of the present Law. so far
cidedly unjust hardly be open to question. AS
anyone who has had speaking acqlai ntance with
business Will testify, gross profit, the spread
between the selling price Of articles and their
prime cost, is criterion Of net profits. The
snail matter Of overhead, which is disr garded in
the tax gross receipts, may be quite inc onse-
quential in businesses whereas, in others, it
represents a major portion Of all costs and may
dissolve greater part, all Of the gross profit.
The repeal Of such tax monstrosity should be well
come to every informed person.
The opposed alternative however, may we'll prove,
from social viewpoint, antidote with effect

allay, for it will further reduce the p,rcia sing

'Footrace May Be
Feature of 1899
AN.Star Game

NEW YORK, May 16. CUP)-
There's been considerable talk in
the baseball dugouts these days
about speed and who's the fastest
runner in the major leagues.
Foot races were revived last year
by Larry MacPhail as added attrac-
tions at Brooklyn's night games,
and Don Gutteridge, Cardinals
diminuitive speedster, won the un-
official National league title by
defeating Ernie Koy of the Dodg-
ers by several yards in 100-yard
test
George Case, Washington flyer
Is regarded by most critics as the
fastest runner in the American
league on hte straightway. In l9
games this season he has stolen 8
bases TO top both majors.
There's agitation from several
quarters for Case and Gutteridge to
match strides in the all-star game
at Yankee stadium July Il. Bill
Terry, Giants boss, is one who ia
vorS putting on a foot-race at the
aQ-Star game as an added attraction
with possibly cash prize from the
gate receipts as an incentive for the
racers.
THE all-5tar game is the logical
place TO stage race between the
fastest men in the majors" said
Terry 1T would be a great at
traction for the fans to have two
or three of the fastest men from
each league compete in a race be-
fore the game.
Terry believes George Myatt,
Giants infielder, can step in the
same class with Gutteridge or any
one else. Hes a fast starter and
has as much early speed as any
body but he may not be able TO
keep up with Gutteridge past the
50-yard mark. Last year Myatt
stole ten bases in 43 games.

paigning in the west.
II the YankS can win 8 out of
10 in the vests own back yard,
they are more than likely to do as
good or better in their own baili-
wick. Unless the Boston Red Sox
keep up their stiff pace, it appears
that the American league race isn't
even going TO be a contest after
mid-seaSon.
The Yanks plastered two straight
shutouts on the Athletics in Phila-
delphia before settling down at
Yankee Stadium for a fortnight's
stand. Red Ruffing stopped the AS
with four hits Sunday, and Wes
Ferrell and Johnny Murphy COM
bined to let them down with five
Safeties yesterday. After going sew
Ell frames, Ferrell complained of
pain in his arm. He went out with
20 lead. Murphy held the AS
hitlesS the last two frames.
The Red Sox's hope of giving the
YankS battle received a shot in
the arm when Fritz Ostermueller
came through with his first victory,
a go triumph over Washington.
Ostermueller gave up eight hits,
and had the Senators BANKED un-
til the eighth when he eased up
behind nine-run lead. The de-
feat dropped Washington to sixth
place as the idle Browns moved up.
Joe Vosmik, Sox left fielder, had
a perfect day at the plate with Il
for 4" He hammered out a double
and triple, two singles, drove in
two runs and scored three.
