That is what Sir Henry Drayton pointed when he formulated the new tax amendment. Just to make the foolish and the rich pay for their "luxuries" or in other words needless extravagannn E For those who have not followed {the present much talked of "Budget" iat Ottawa, let me say that Sir Henry I? the Minister of Finance- in the Government at Ottawa. and the budget as brought down and passed calls for very much increased taxation on many "luxuries' The daily papers have been full of reports, and their editorial col- umns overburdened with comment as to the wisdom of the move. Perhaps the editor of THE INDEPENDENT will see fit to publish some ot the details of the budget, if not you can glean all you wish to know and more perhaps from reading the said daily papers. The sum and substance of the whole matter is that it you want to spend your money like a drunken sailor you are still at perfect liberty to do so. But if you read the message that Bir, Henry Drayton is handing out to you you will realize that the late war cre- ated a tiebt in Canada that must be1 paid-Canada generally pays her debtsl and it is those who have that it Shall be taken from to pay that debt. Some four weeks ago I wrote an article which was headed "Protiteertng on Hamilton Market." I was called down plenty much for that heading, but the article was not intended to “knock” the farmer.

The forming ot ers on this league was first mooted in Beams- ville, where a strong team is already for the at practice. The idea was broached tn Hart.

It is to be hoped that the eastern boys go ahead with their ideas and get the new enterprise swinging as soon as possible. They can depend nnnn " that” Before the summer is over there is going to be baseball history made. It sure was a day of surprises.

Farrell, the baseball mo- gul of the Fruit Belt, organized the GRIMSBY Soft Ball League, he start- ed something that has become more infectious than the small pox. The child of his brain has not only grip- ped GRIMSBY and the surrunding township in its mighty grasp but ithas spread to other parts of the country. Beamsville has been smitten with the bug and it has even spread to Vineland and Jordan. The large 'crowd present had a good afternoons fun and lived right up to the ground rules. Three um- pires handled the game and there was practically no wrangling of any-kind. more runs and then Norton Would tighten up. 'Wray Fisher started the game tor the Outlaws hut Was weak at all points. He could not find the plate at all. In the third stanza the Vets started a Vimy Ridge charge on his offerings and scored four runs :before the derrick was put into ac- tion. Norton twirled the rest of the game and while far from being in good form, served up a nice brand of ball. tune or UIU’DlteS a trimming and for the first inning it looked like they might win the game, but here again the surprise box was open.ed for when "Smoke" McBride started to heave it was plain to be seen that he had all his old time steam control, curves and everything else that is needed. to win ball games. In the second round the Metal boys lost their nerve completely and al- lowed tour runs to cross the platter. For the next four rounds they were floatin garound in the atmosphere. E. Walker's arm turned to glass in the third frame and he went to first and “Chuck” Walker essayed to do the twirling. The 'big 1ooy twirled a nice game hut received rotten support from his fielders. The whole gang acted as though they were afraid of the cars. The Metal eate/s are a far“ better ‘team than they showed to be on the holiday and we cannot ac- count for their poor showing, against what the dopesters claimed to be the weakest _team in the league. The Club boys played a nice consistent game all through and gave McBride excellent support both in the field and at the bat. Just why _Dave 1i'isher's crew of desiperadoes failed to win the second game is absolutely beyond our com- prehension. He has a well balanced team of good fielders and good hit- ters but for some unknown reason they tailed to connect. with Ches Fisherls delivery and he. had absolute ly nothing on the ball at" all. This game was not nearly as fast or as interesting as the first one, al- though there was considerably more hitting and base running. Two or three times the barrage that m more runs and The biggest surprise of the opening day proceedings was the defeat of Dave Fisher’s fast aggregation of Outlaws, by the War Vets. How "Timmy" Farrell ever whipped that team ot his into winning form like he has, had everybody's goat. In this game the Vets won out by 17 to 12.

They have a couple of weak spots that will have to be strengthened. Nervousness was the main thing that was wrong with the Metal Craft boys. They were scared of their own shadows for the first three innings and by that time the Club had the game on ice. Reeve Farrell pitched the first ball but "Boots" Hughes was mean enough to whale it out to centre field. Hats were dotted to Reeve Farrell for his splendid work on first for the Club.
