COLLEGES LINED UP
IN FOOTBALL FRAY
Many Stanford Men to Oppose
Blue and Gold in Christmas
Day Struggle

BERKELEY, Dec. 21.-The. football
enthusiasts of the bay region are pray
ing for bright sky and a CHEEKY day
Christmas in order that the big game
scheduled between the Springfield and
the Scenic elevens will come off as
planned at the State league grounds
in Oakland.
Since the announcement making
known the participants in the struggle
was given out enthusiasm in this sec
tion has been at a high pitch The
football followers are busily speculat-
ing as to the chances of the separate
teams, and on all sides an eagerness
to witness the biggest American foot
ball game of the season is being ex-
pressed
The fact that two Stanford stars of
former years-"Babe" Laumeister and
"Bulr' Chalmers-oppose the blue and
gold men makes the Struggle some
| what of a personal matter between
| California and Stanford. and goodly
| dash of spice is added to the interest
by the fact that the two clubs Will
have their most notable stars of past
years in the fray.
Cal Haffey, who was captain of the
blue and gold Rugby squad three years
ago, and Babe" Carpenter, one of the
strongest punters yet turned out by
the University of California. are show
! ing up big in practice and will hold
| their own for the Springfields against
Schofield and Sinclair, the former a
| Scenic club man of note and the latter
! probably the best all around man
turned out by the Berkeley high school
| in a decade.
The Scenic team also boasts Mill and
! AL Hartley, who almost single handed
brought victory to the Berkeley high
| in the 1908 campaign. The two Mackie
| brothers will be in the running again
| for the Hillsiders, and all along the
| line the team boasts an aggregation
| of veterans.
| Hardy, Haffey, Bowman, Fairbanks,
Twitehell, Sorensen, Rathbone, men
who took big part in putting Rugby
on its feet at the university, have taken
just as kindly to the American game
for the time being and win try their
mightiest to bowl over every Scenic
sent against them.
| Carpenter will in all probability be
used at the left guard position for the
first half and Fairbanks will be given
/ the chance in the second half. Nc
| Elrath, the fast Oakland high man,
has been secured for the left half post
and Kern VIII help him out if the
| going is too strong.
| The clubmen are going about their
work with a snap and an enthusiasm
that justify in every respect the rep
resentation of their legion of hackers.
On all sides the fact is appreciated that
| there is a strong tug between Rugby
and the American game for popularity
in this section, and this game will de-
eide several points in dispute.
Although the tickets were placed on
sale only yesterday, 1t looks as though
a new lot will have to be run off to
4 17aoaf the demand COacb McAndrAvvs
| of the Springfield squad is being asked
| by inquirers all over the state about

kept busy answering queries as to the
/ fighting worth of the Hillside squad.

If you have varicocele. loss of

Your face tells the story much
palmer than words.
Do you intend going through life
with all the earmarks of bnghted
manhood, to be stunned and de-
spised by men and women?
There's no excuse for you remain
ing just piece of a man. Nature
intended you to be physically per-
feet. but you have broken Natures
laws and now you are paying the
penalty. The best thing you can do
is to get busy and remove the cause
of your ailment before it is too late.
Don't make the mistake of dosing
yourself with worthless drugs in
the hope of getting cure. What
you need is new strength. nerve
force. vitality. You can't get that
from drugs.
Electricity is Natures remedy for
men like YOU That's the only med
icine you require. Build up your
strength and vitality by the daily
application of Electro-Vigor-
Electro Vigor is a scientific de-
vice for infusing electricity into the

No chronic disease or weakness
can exist where there is plenty OF
electricity, for this force removes
the cause of the trouble.
Electro-Vigor does not shock or
blister. 1t generates steady, un-
broken current of electricity. and Is
always charged. ready for use All
you have to do is adjust il correctly
and turn on the power to the proper
degree of strength. From the first
moment the glowing electric stream
courses through the nerves and vi
tails, carrying new life and force to

NOT ALL
 BillIONAIFES.

4 writer in an English newspaper discussing rich Americahs expresses the belief that all those who are met with in London are not Astors, Van derbilts, Morgans or Rockefellers. even though they do throw their money about in lavish manner. He says that the American spends more lavishly than the Englishman under any circumstances, not because he is more generous, but because it is a habit, induced by the conditions un- der which be lives" Lavish expen- allure by no means indicates gener- osity. but when it is an ingrained habit with a people it may be fairly assumed that they are not as greatly wrapped up in the almighty dollar as some English writers say they are. If they were they would not be so careless in getting rid of their dol lars.

TAXING CORPORA TON INCOMES

Both because President Tat is de- servedly classed among the distin- guished jurists of the country and because several eminent lawyers sit as advisers in his cabinet, his mes tax of ? per cent On the net income of corporations has been received in spirit of respectful deferenee tc the weight of legal opinion by which it is supported None the less the lay mind, at least. Is in state of hopeless confusion regarding the fine legal distinctions which must be con sidered.
 The constitution forbids the con- sress to levy direct tax and the supreme court of the United States has declared it may not impose an income tax, or at least that the clause in the Wilson German bill that attempted to do so was uncon- stitutional. But MT. Taft says "an excise tax measured by per cent on the net income. of corporations and joint stock companies will be constitutional. He gives reasons for his opinion which are anything but convincing to those who are not learned in the law.
 We are told that the decision of the supreme court in the case of Spreckles Sugar Refining company against McClain seems clearly to establish the principle that such a tax as this is an excise tax upon privilege and not a direct tax upon property" What privilege is taxed is not explained. however. says the St. Louis Republic. It cannot be the privilege of corporate existence, for that privilege is not granted by the national government. It is accorded by the states individually.
 An excise tax, of course, is simply an internal revenue tax. and the Will son-Gorman income tax was just as completely an internal revenue tax as a tax on the income of corpora tions can be. The only perceptioie difference seems to be that the gen era1 income tax was levy on gross incomes and what Mir. Taft proposes would be a levy on the net income of corporations. The difference s' the individual benehciaries who ar' shareholders of corporations may no he of material importance. but it ma' sarve ,o sustain the proposition be to-e the court which condemned th'

 President Taft acknowledges tna he is in accord with his immedia' nredecessor in respect to the desirS bility of finding way by which th natioua, government can acquire su perrisory control of corporations.

FORTUNATE MIR. MEYER.

fFrom the Springfield Republican,
 It appears that Henry White. am bassador to France. is 10 retire per haps at the end of the year. He is charged with falling short of the re- quired qualifications of being able to know an American when he sees one" which is declared to be an es- sential diplomatic service under this administration. If such is to be the rule, Mir. Meyer may be reckoned fortunate in being safely under cover in the cabinet
