J- ... i At the meeting of the local managers of the base ball association Herman Webber was appointed captain and manager of the team in place of “Ducky’’ Eberts, who left , Monday for Hannibal, Mo., where he will play the remainder so the season. Webber is a favorite among the players here as well as the people and it is thought that he will be able to get all out of the boys that there is in them, Even when Webber was playing with Decatur a few years ago he always made a hit with the local fans and the managers attempted to get him for this reason in the early part of the season. The new captain knows base ball from A to Z ajid he is always full of pep and ginger, which counts for a whole lot sometimes when the game is a close one. There will probably be some changes in the makeup of the team and no favorites will be played.— Bluffton Baiiner. _ —— -——oThe change mentioned some time ago to take place in the Studabaker Bank will come off as scheduled tomorrow, that being the first day of July.

> CORPORATION TAX ' Its Purpose is to Defeat the Proposed Income Tax A TAFT MACHINE One Being Built by the President—Porto Rico Governorship Washington, June 30.—Many of the senators are convinced that there is a prospect of the corporation tax amendment being materially modified before the tariff bill comes out of conference. It is clear that the president, as well as certain of the senate leaders, are using me corporation tax to prevent the passage of an income tax. The president is very much Against an income tax from principle. The house, it will be remembered, voted an inheritance tax. It is among the possibilities that the corporation tax, which the senate is expected to enact, will be dropped in conference for the inheritance tax will be lowered, berhaps to 1 per cent, and the phraseology changed so as to make it less objectionable .to its critics. The strength of the opposition to the corporation tax is being felt already in the senate. Corporations throughout the country are filing their protests. This has given some impetus to a campaign for an inheritance tax. A few days ago the leaders were emphasizing that the Taft amendment must be enacted exactly as It came from the committee. Now, It might happen that if votes enough for an income tax could be mustered in the senate the whole administration plan would be dropped. Washington, June 30.—The Washington Star, in a first column, first page article x charges that President Taft is preparing to use the department positions in Washington to build up a great political machine in his own behalf. The upheaval that is going on in the departments presided over by Secretary Nagel and Secretary Ballinger is declared to be the

first step in this direction. The Star sayS: "When all the departments are reduced to the lowest possible working basis in point of number of employes the building up, it is predicted, will begin. And when that building up starts, According to those who have been keeping tab on President Taft’s political moves, it will be with the set purpose of having ready by the summer of 1912 a thoroughly equipped Taft political machine in the government Washington, June 30.—Former Representative James E. Watson of Indiana had a talk with Secretary of State Knox in regard to the office of governor of Porto Rico, which is being held open for Mr. Watson. Secretary Knox assured Mr. Watson that if he accepts he will be permitted to name the members of his cabinet,who constitute the membership of the upper house of the Porto Rican legislature. A considerable share of the troubles of Porto Rican governors in the past has been lack of harmony between them and their cabinets. —- o-— — A Certain Cure for Aching Feet.

Water For • Irrigation' The water supply is far in excess of any possible need. The reservoir r/ is a natural wonder, holding as it does 60,000 acre-feet of water. This is also augmented by the normal flow of Pine River, which in itself would be more than sufficient. All construction work will be under the direct supervision of the State Board of Land Commissioners and State Engineer. This includes all ditches and laterals. The construction company has also put up a heavy bond with the state for the fulfillment of all water contracts with the settler. Thus you are assured absolute safety under direct state and national supervision on your water-rights. • Each settler under the company’s a contract with the state is allowed one second-foot to each eighty acres. This is equivalent to a depth of nine inches of water each month over the entire farm. Not half of this quantity is ever required, even for crops which demand liberal watering.
