Pitching, or lack of it, has been inating factor in the success re of the eight contending When Washington made its sensa- tional spurt to the top of the Ameri- can League standing, it got air tight pitching. The team presided over by Stanley Harris hasn't a batting punch like the Yankees; it must get good pitch- ing, and make the most of it. The Nationals backed up the good pitching with a strong defense and did just enough timely hitting to give them the edge. Pitching put the Washington club in the race. ss eal ie Lack of consistent pitching has kept the Yankees, three times pen- nant winners, from being far out in front. : Father Time is beginning to slow up some of the veteran Yankee hurl- ers, No doubt it’s a good thing for the American League race as a whole, Brilliant pitching, from three or; four recruit twirlers, has kept the Detroit team up in the race, Like- wise the failure of some of the ve- terans has proved a great handicap. The Tygers,have a powerful offen- sive. Usually give their pitchers a pretty good working margin. De- spite this, several pitchers banked on by Manager Cobb to be very helpful have failed to come through. With the race two-thirds over, the St, Louis Browns have stepped to the front in the Johnsonian organization, This year is just one thrill after another in the American League. |The Browns are now having their inning. In the first half of the season St.’ Louis suffered from lack of pitching. The great Shocker just couldn't hit his stride. Dixie Davis was troubled with his old fault, wildness. Van Gilder was unable to: win. The sensational work of the rookie, Wingard, and the fine showing of Dave Danforth saved the club. ‘With the arrival of warm weather the veterans on the St, Louis staff seem to have struck their stride. The Browns cannot be overlooked in the home stretch of the American League pennant derby. A pitching revival has put the club | back in the running. CHARGED WITH HAVING STOLEN PHONOGRAPH Ft.

Editor Tribune: SD Following is a letter that \I re. { PEOPLE’S FORUM | From left to right they are: Bob Johnson, Bill Hargraye, Peckinpaugh, Eddie Johnson, Ralph Peckinpaugh, George Mogridge, Wal- ter Johnson Jr, Roger Peckinpaugh not extentied a road poll tax on the tax list for at least 12 years, and the parties that have been in the office longer thanéthat are not in, and our records do not show of any road poll tax that has been extend- ed. The City Officials are not col- lecting a road poll tax either. There will be due a school poll tax as 1 have stated and every elector is ob- liged to pay this school poll tax. Relative to who is responsible for collecting the taxes will state, that our County Treasurer tries every procedure to notify the parties of taxes and if he does not succeed the matter is turned over to the Sheriff, and after the Sheriff is through with the delinquent taxes he turns them over to the County Auditor and the auditor makes an effort to notify the delinquents, and we, as a rule, collect considerable delin- quencies, If there is any further informa- tion you desire, I would be pleased to hear from you, but I want to thank you for this road poll tax in suggesting details, as I assure you that I appreciated the detailed ex- planations you rendered me, Yours truly, F, F, DOHERTY, County Auditor. The fact that the city of Fargo does not collect a road poll tax is not conclusive for there is a law on tha statute books requiring every male person over 21 and under 50 years of age to pay an annual poll tax of $1.50, or by one day’s labor on the public highway, except those exempted by law. A brief history of the road and school poll law may be of interest ut this time. Back in territorial days the legis- lature in 1883, passed a bill or law, requiring each male person over 21 and under 60 years of age to pa poll tax of $1.50 in money, or by 10 hours labor on the public high- ways, In 1885, the territorial legislature amended this law making the age limit 50 years, and reducing the hours from 10 to 8 hours. In 1887, the territory needed money for the support of the common schools and a bill was passed rfaking it the duty of the county clerk of each county at the time of the annual assessment and levy of taxes to levy a tax of one dollar on each elector in the county for the support of the com- mon schools and a further tax of two mills on the dollar on all tax- able property in the county. Both of these laws were in force when the territory became a state in 1889. When the constitution was being framed there was quite an argu- ment, pro and con, about levying a poll tax, see pages 475 to 477 of the debates of the constitutional con- vention. Section 180, of the state constitution reads as follows: The legislative assembly may pro- vide for the levy, collections and Walter Jr. and Joe Martina Jr. The manager, who appears in this picture dressed funny enough to get a laugh out of the kids, is Al Schacht, Nick Altrock’s partner in comedy, disposition of an annual poll tax of. not more than one dollar and fifty cents on every male inhabitant of this state over twenty-one and un- der fifty years of age, except pau® ers, idiots, insane persons and In- dians not taxed, The first state legislature in 1890 embodied, or ‘re-enacted the terri- torial revenue laws, the section re- quiring the county clerk to levy a tax of one doll on each elector, being changed to read county audi- tor instead of county clerk. In 1897, the state legislature pass- ed a law to conform to the wording of Section 180 of the constitution, that each male person in the state over 21 and under 50 years of “age should be subject to annual poll tax of not more than $1.50 except those igi are exempted by the constitu ion, When the vote was given to the women they were assessed each, one dollar school poll? As the law stands today there is a road poll tax of $1.50 against each male person over 21 and under 60 years of age; there is also a school poll tax of one dollar which is char- ged against each elector, both men and women, and as a result of the conflict or illegality of the law, there are over forty-three hundred dollars delinquent’ road and school poll taxes in the city of Bismarck, from 1918 to 1923, inclusive. Now, if the state constitution is to be interpreted correctly it would appear that only one poll tax can be collected, and that is the tax as prescribed by the constitution. An annual poll tax not to exceed one dollar and fifty cents on all male inhabitants of the state over 21, and under 50 years of age, except those who are exempt. If the legislature has the power to enact more than one poll tax law, they could keep on indefinitely and ass laws levying a poll tax for roads, school, bridges, for the sup- port of the poor, ete. the position taken by Mr. Doherty appears to be correct in this, that the city’ of Fargo is only attempting to collect one poll tax, but which is the legal tax, the poll tax as described by the constitution, or the one dollar tax levied against each elector, a law that enacted in territorial days and that has been carried on the statute books since that time. Yours truly, W. A. FALCONER, City Assessor. ROOSTER KILLS CAT Kingston, N. C., Aug, 14.—Heat- ed warfare between a cat and a rooster at the home of Jack Howard here ended in the death of the cat recently. Howard separated the fighters and went into the house to get first-aid materials for the cat. When he returned, he found that the rooster had renewed the hos- tilities and killed the cat.

Commons London, Aug. 14.—Premier Mac- Donald has talked more in the House of Commons than anyone else, and is 31 columns of the official report of the Parliamentary Gazette ahead of his nearest competitor. Accord- ing to the record from January to the Easter recess, the Premier's speeches covered 126 columns, William’ Gra- ham, financial seeretary’ to the trea- sury, being next with’ 95 columns and Sir Kingsley Wood third with 76 columns. Lloyd George only, fills 47 columns, and Henry Asquith 36, while Stanley Baldwin takes fifteenth place with 46 columns. It is noted that the Clydeside mem- bers are comparatively reticent, Tom Johnstone and Neil MacLean filling only 30 columns each. James Kirk- wood is not mentioned, because only those who can fill 20 columns are re- corded. In the matter of asking questions, Commander Kenworthy easily holds first with 239 questions, or 108 more than Sir Kingsley Wood, who is sec- ond on the list. With power and office comes crit- icism, and this is indicated by the number of oral questions answered, the premier having 561 answers to his credit, Minister of Health John Wheatley 288, and Minister of Labor Tom Shaw 282. NEW P. 0, MAY BEESTABLISHED A new postoffice probably will be established in Burleigh county, known as’ Fairview, 14 miles north of Bismarck on the road between the Wilton road and the river road. The postoffice department has ask- ed for applications for the position of postmaster, and the residents of the section who petitioned for the postoffice are hopeful that it will be established, with the postoffice at the farm house of Frank Koche' The petitioners asked that the post- office be served from Bismarck, hold- ing that there would be little gain if it were served from any other point. People in the Fairview region some years ago got mail through a star route which went from Bismarck to Sather, Wogansport and Painted Woods, This system was changed and mail carried from ‘Baldwin ~ to Painted Woods, and then this was discontinued.
