xne most ajjproveu mecnous are Del
ing taken by the tax commission to try

gnake the taxes equal,” said Professor
Toung, “the state tax commission in
onjunction with a committee of the
tate legislature, in past years have tried'
o get an amendment passed to the state
onstitution which will free the legisla
ure of the responsibility and get tax
laws modified so the existing faults in
he tax system will be removed.
“An elimination that is necessary in

atisfaction.”

DIAMOND DUST
John Telford, who officiated as head
spear hurler for Bill Hayward’s 1914
title holders, has jotted his John Henry
to a contract for mound duty with the
Tacoma Tigers. Marse Russ Hall—skip
per of the Tiger crew—counts on Tel
ford being one of his regular boarders
through his summa cum laude record in
the defunct Tri-State organization.
Washington has already opened her
gloom campaign for baseball. “Bud” Mc
Dermott, who guarded the initial sack
last season for the cellar champs, had
just about annexed the keystone cushion
when he was knocked entirely out of
this year’s running through a disastrous
Ty Cobb to third base. This ruined
Brinker’s “Tinkers to Evers to Chance”
combination and the bleacher bugs see
little chance for repairs^
ur7-v,u m__f .
the White Sox down south this spring
that “Pants'” Rowland has shifted Wea
ver to third base and stuck the ex-Stan
ford star in his shoes at short. The rail
birds figure that Terry has everything
but stiekwork and, if he can touch .350
in that line, fandom will forget there
ever was a Bancroft or Maranville.
“Skeet” and Lyle Bigbee proved too
unseasoned for Coast League service
and will be shunted to the northwest for
the coming season. Tacoma and Spo
kane are both in the field for the Ore
gon boys but it is probable that Nick
Williams will have first choice as he is
McCredie’s official farm.
Dode Brinker thinks that he will pos
sess the hitless wonders of the confer
ence this season. Outside of Capt.
Thompson, Dode says that he’s mighty
shy of men who can even hit the ground
with their caps let alone sting the pill.
O. A. C. ought to be about a 10 to 1
shot for that California trip if the ad
vance information, which has been leak
ing out from over that way, is half the
truth. While the other squads of the
conference are almost depopulated of
veterans, Coach plus Captain Loot is
overburdened with ripe material and will
open the season with a bunch every bit
as strong as the last year western
champs.
Stanford took on Wolverton’s Seals
the other day and had the Coast League
champs worried all the way to nose out
with a 4 to 3 win. Gus Hoever, who serv
ed them over for the collegians, had the
Seal fence busters eating out of his hand
so we figure that some of those Federal
castoffs ought to be signed up by north
ern diamond aspirants before the great
California invasion.
Don Rader, who has led a varied base
ball career since departing from the
haunts of Bill Hayward and other ath
letics, seems to have nabbed the utility
berth at Vernon. Rader was going great
guns at the close last year but the ad
vent of innumerable Fed stars has rout
ed him from Patterson's regular crew.
The students of the New York univer
sity school of commerce have formed an
organization for the. regulation of under
graduate activities, the object being stu
dent self-government.
