The sun blazed like a burnished disk in a clear sfky and the fans in the bleachers were grateful for the light westerly breeze. The crowd came late.

The band played "The Star-Span-gled Banner," and the Yankees took the field. Some little time was lost clearing the field of the photographers nnd band. Then Governor Miller threw out the ball.

TAX, TARIFF

BILLS TO BE MAKESHIFTS Leaders Admit They Are All at Sea Harding Might Change Things if He Would Lead. LACK PARTY DISCIPLINE By MARK SVLXIVAN WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. All that is being Eaid about the condition of things in congress is true. At least, all of it Is true except a good deal of what is said in the. way of defense or excuse. When one prominent Republican senator states that the present tax bill is mostly a temporary one, and that a new and permanent bill will be passed next year; and when an other prominent Republican senator says that they can't pass a permanent tariff bill yet because the conditions are too unstable to make accurate estimates, both those explanations belong in the category of reasons invented after the event They illustrate that apnorism or astuteness which says, "Never give your reasons for doing a thing before you do it, because you will be able to find much better reasons afterward." If the Republicans really intended not to pass a permanent measure or a permanent tariff measure until 1922, they ought to have said so during the campaign, or they might have said so in President Harding's inaugural 'address. The fact is, of course, they fully intended to have passed one of these measures some time ago and to have passed it before the end of November. As to the tariff bill. there is some soundness in the theory that it is impossible to pass now a measure which will work satisfactorily for several years to come. Will Hays' Theory This theory was first put forth by Will Hays in a speech he delivered at' Cleveland in September. He said that so long as the conditions of foreign ex change are so chaotic we must go along with temporary measures. Even so, this is a reason which wa discovered after the event. The Republicans fully . expected to write a permanent tariff this year. To overcome the fluctuations in foreign exchange, they invented the device of "American valuation." Mr. Hoover then pointed out to them that this device would not work satisfactorily, and thereupon there wasn't much to do except to wait. As to taxation there is no excuse whatever for writing a make-shift measure three years after the end of the war with a complacent gesture postponing the writing of real peacetime tax measure until four years after the war is over. No Measure At All The taxation measure which the senate Is now considering is not a measure at all. It is the original war time measure, with the addition ot amendments which cumber it rather than clarify it, and which repel business men rather than satisfy them. Even so nobody in Washington can say that the taxation measure, as it 111 yen approximately as it now stands, is the one that will ultimately be made into law. The lack of leadership in the senate is such that It is possible at any time for a group to arise which will write a materially different kind of measure. It is this lack of strong party discipline in both the lower house and the senate which i3 at the root of the whole matter. It may be that this lack of submission to leadership is the fruit of an agitation that has been going on a long time. Flying to Pieces Most of the politics of the years immediately preceding the war were concerned with breaking up party discipline, with robbing "Uncle Joe" Cannon and "Boss" Aldrich of their pow. er. Then, during the war, for purposes of compact defense, there was a resumption of solidarity. Now everything is flung to tieces. As to what will come out of it, nobody can say. Nobody can see any change in sight But "a change wiil come, simply because things cannot go on as they are. Otherwise, the government will come to stagnation or De me tootball of a number of purely seinsh groups workins: in com tunation with no more exalted idea of salesmanship than is expressed in tne slogan, "We want ours. The most obvious cure, of course, would be for President Harding to assume leadership himself. If he has mat in mind, there is as yet no out ward sign of it.

Informal application for a charter of incorporation was made yesterday by the realm of West Virginia, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, according to Houston G. Young, secretary of state. Mr. Young declined to issue the charter, but said he made it plain to the applicant, who did not give his name, that the organization "will not be granted a charter in this state." Secretary Young did not give his reason for the rerusal. He added however, that he had informed the applicant that "the laws of the state are such that the state supreme court can issue a writ of mandamus compelling the secretary of state to grant the charter." .- , . - St

HOUSE LEADERS UNEASY ABOUT SENATE DELAYS; THINK ABOUT EFFECT ON ELECTIONS NEXT YEAR

PALLADIUM SEWS BIKEAU WASHINGTON, Oct 6. Majority leaders on Capitol hill are beginning to view the legislative situation with uneasiness. The slow progress the senate is making with its program is responsible for their misgivings. The i house remained idle all of last week i and all this week in order that no greater burdens of legislation be added to the load the senate is now staggering under. During the recent recess of con gress the senate finance committee remained in Washington working on the revenue bill which had been passed by the house. When the committee had completed its labors the word went forth that the bill had been greatly improved and that it would be passed by the senate in its amended form with very little delay. It has now been almost two weeks since the recess period expired and the debate on the tax bill has ju?t gotten under headway. Furthermore, there are prospects that the measure will be discussed for some time to FEDERAL COMMISSION ASKS REORGANIZATION OF PANAMA POLICIES (Bv Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Oct 6. Through reorganization of the administrativemachinery in the Panama canal zona, with radical changes in existing policies affecting the employment of la bor, physical operation of the canal and railroad, pay of. employes and other important subjects, is recommended in the preliminary report submitted to Secretary Weeks by the commission which, recently investigated conditions in the canal zone, at his request. The commission estimates that an annual saving of $5,000,000 would re suit from adoption of its suggestions. Chief among the recommendations is that the governor of the canal zone be directed "not to make agreements or understandings with the canal employes or any . class thereof, for any period of time, but that the wages be periodically adjusted in accordancn with the law which bases the canal wage on the pay of similar employes in the government service in the United States," and that the governor shall "not deal with labor organizations as organizations, but shall deal with committees of emplayes." Nine Moros Are Killed In Constabulary Skirmish MANILA, Philippine Islands, Oct. 6.

The state administrative board and members of the prison board are expected to decide to rebuild the. institution at once. Only the prison dining room, kitchen and a furniture factory building escaped the flames. After a checking up of the prisoners, officials announced 'that out of the 680 convicts only one had taken advantage of the fire to effect an escape. . ' Patrol Walls State troops and a company of National Guard are patrolling the prison walls and officials anticipate no trouble with the convicts. An investigation indicates the fire was caused by defective wiring in the administrative building rather than by a workman's blow torch, as at first believed. ; The prisoners are being housed temporarily in the furniture factory building. - Should it be decided to build a new cell block immediately it is un likely that any of the convicts will be transferred to Jackson or Marquette, these prisons already - being overcrowded. A few transfers may be made, however, in order to bring to Ionia prisoners . in other institutions whose trades fit them for work on new buildings here.

FRANK PETRO RESIGNS AS SUPERINTENDENT OF COUNTY INFIRMARY Frank Petro, for the past eight years in charge of the county infirmary, west of Centerville, has presented his resignation to the board of county commissioners, to become effective at the end of the fiscal year, March 1, 1922. Mr. Petro will move to his farm south of Centerville, where he ill devote his entire time to raising hogs. Announcement of Mr. Petro's intention to leave his position as manager of the county institution was not a complete surprise to the county commissioners, as it was known that he was contemplating a change, on account of his wife's health. During his stay on the farm, he has built it up in many ways, and persons who are acquainted with his work there are reluctant to see him leave. Has -made Improvements Building up of the various improvements around the 300 acre farm is not the only way in which it has been improved during his stay there. When he first took over the management in 1914, there was a nondescript herd of ' . . . m j - M a. 1 1 cattle. ioaay, one 01 ine une&i uerus ! of purebred shorthorns in this part of j the state may be found there. Twelve i milK cows are Kepi aua Live or sn mrnish the milk supply for the institution, which houses 62 inmates at present. Only five head of horses, enough to handle the necessary team work about the place, are used. Over 300 head of hogs are on the place at the present time. About 50 head were sold recently, and another 175 head of spring pigs are being fattened. Two meatless days per week are a part of the regular program for the inmates of the farm. Milk, eggs, and ! vegetables are supplied in plentiful amount by the various divisions or the farm, however, so there is no question of there being plenty to eat. Had Pleasant Keiationsmp " "We have always got along nicely out here, and there has been very little friction during my sta3'." said Mr. Pero. in discusing his coming change, Thursday. "Both the county officials and the people have co-operated with me in a very satisfactory manner." Members. of the board of commissioners and other county officials were entertained at the county infirmary in the course of the duties Thursday at noon. The quarterly inventory ot the institution was being taken. The officials started the task shortly after 10 o'clock. Name Dinner Guests Judge W. A. Bond. County Auditor Brooks.

The last inventory of the personal property of the farm, which includes all equipment and stock, was taken last July. It showed the total vame outside the land to be approximately $21,000. Despite the fall in price of hogs. It was believed that the inventory for this quarter would show but a little change from this figure.
