of the local softball season last night when he turned back the Fillmore Specials without a single safety to give Lone Star a 9 to 1 victory in the second game. The lone Fillmore run came in the second inning as the result of three Lone Star errors. Last night's victory was the eighth consecutive win for the Ixme Star team. The league leaders have not lost a
game .
In the first game Midwest walloped the Merchants 16 to 4 and took over •second place in the National League race. The Merchants, playing with several of their regulars out of the lineup, made thirteen errors which had a big effect on the Midwest score.
Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas, the G. O. P. presidential nominee, will carry everything east of the Mississippi river and north of the

The rebels, hurled back by the loyalists in a series of fierce mountain clashes, have succeeded, apparently, in reforming their lines and are again in position to meet attack with attack. Government forces seemed still to hold the initiativi all over the north. Urgent appeals for assistance broadcast again and again over the radio from Seville the chief rebel center in the far south, pointed to a desperate situation there despite rebel sorties on Malaga, on the southeast coast. Predictions of early victory for the rebels ceased, and Gen. Gonzalo Queipo de Llano, commander in chief in the south, appealed instead to all rebel sympathizers to join him including those he said were ‘‘hiding in idleness” in Gibraltar. He appealed for arms from the British. German and Italian governments. to he delivered to the Seville area. Gen. Emilio Malo, the rebel commander in chief in the north, seemed to have succeeded in withdrawing his men to new base lines, while the rebel advance guards continued to fight for Guadarrama mountain passes commanding Madrid. It was believed that he has concentrated his greatest force and has entrenched it for a long defense if necessary, in the region of the ancient walled city of MedinaccP, once a Moorish stronghold, 95 miles northeast of Madrid on the road to Zaragoza. the rebel northeastern center which government troops are near-
ing.
In the Guadarramas proper, the rebel advance forces were holding positions on the far side of the Guadarrama ridge, with their chief strength at t> ■ Somosierra pass, on the road to Burgos, and Son Rafael on the road to Segovia. There seemed no doubt that the rebels’ main, if not only, apparent hope of decisive success lay in a smashing victory in the Guadarramas, and there was no sign that such a success was near. In the south, the tone of rebel statements indicated clearly that their position right now is had: in the San Sebastian area in the far north the government had strengthened the positions it holds though rebels rallied for a new attack; the government seemed unchallenged in its possession of almost the entire
east coast.

T\\ STATISTICS INDIANAPOLIS. July 28.—“Declarations that taxes in this state will bo higher nert year than ever before, are based upon assumptions with which I cannot agree.” said Harry Miesse. secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers Association, in a statement issued today. "They indicate a belief that the public’s battle for the elimination of waste and extravagance in government has been lost and that the meaning of economy has been forgotten. For my part. I am convinced that the people have not yet begun to fight. “Thus far we have been hearing from the persons who wish to spend the taxes. Wait until we hear from the men and women who will have to pay taxes before the money is available to be spent. It is foolish to infer that just because public officials ask for more tax money than they ever had before, that the people will grant these funds without question. Tt will be the purpose of our organization to arouse the public to a realization of its power under the laws we have obtained for their use and to protect their interests. The threatened orgy of spending can and will tic stopped because the citizens never yet lost a battle after they became thoroughly aroused. “One of the peculiar things about .11 these discussions of proposed budgets and rates for next year is that the officials continually speak of needing more and more. Virtually nobody in office hints that he might he able to do with less. The structure of government has been built higher and higher, new functions have been authorized; new ways have been devised to spend. We have all the old machinery that was created by the general assembly many years ago and whenever we suggest that doing away with some of these ofiecs is a possibility, we are met with militant, organized opposition. We have dscarded the horse and buggy in actual use yet we are told that certain types of antiquated government, needed when transportation was a problem and communication a task, are to be retained along with the modern facilities and the newly creatrd governmental functions. ‘ "Suppose we begin thinking seriously of what we can do without. We urgi upon the men and women of^ndiana that they exact definite pledges of economy from the candidates who solicit their votes, and then prepare ot demand that each of these pledges be redeemed. Meanwhile, the immediate need is for organization to com-
