WAR TAX BRIEF.

In order to meet the deficit in
the Government s income, caus-
ed by decrease in revenue re-
ceipis from mportations, due to
the European war, the Democrat
ic party plans to raise temporari-
ly $l07 100000 a year by direct
taxation. More than one-half OF
this tax is to be raised from in
t0xicating beverages-beer, whis'
key. cordials, and 50 forth. Two
fifths of the other half is to be
raised from financial transactions
such as bonds, dcbentures, stock
certificates issues, transfers and
so forth, promiSory notes, convey
anceS and so on, while the re-
mainder, $5,OO0,000 is to be rals'
ed from cosmetics and chewing
gum, and another $5,OOO,0OO is d
be- raised from tobacco.
The Republican party is op
posing this tax, and by 50 doing

qnate money to meet It's legih

Score on Valiant Visitors Who
Registered "a Points

plunge Davis went over for touch
down, near the corner of the field.
Davis punted out to w. Abbott, who
missed his try at goal.
Scoring Should Have Stopped.
As far as earning any more touch
downs, Norman's scoring should have
been checked after the second touch
down. Their advance was stopped at
this point as far as line plunges and
end runs we're concerned, but disas-
ters followed in rapid succession
Davis snatched forward pass out
bf the air when it was descending into
the 'arms of Chickasha player, and
went 80 yards for a touchdown. W.
Abbott kicked goal
Second half Spectacular
The spectacular part of the contest
was in the second half, but to exactly
appreciate it to the fullest, one should
have been a Norman rooter. Two long
runs by Abbott featured in the second
half, one of which was for almost the
entire length of the field for a touch
down when he Intercepted forward
pass and outfooted the Chickasha
squad for a touchdown
Chickasha came back strong at the
opening OF the second half and for
time things went lovely. Chickasha
kicked, and Norman was Immediately
forced to punt Business picked up
wonderfully and an important slug
ging match among the players was
quelled by the officials, Norman re-
ceiving the penalization. Pool inter
cepted forward pass and was pulled
down after short run. He immedi-
ately gained six, Norman being again
penalized, making it first down Ham
ilton gained three, Whitaker gained
four, a forward pass failed, but on the
last down Pool made the distance. The
play was forced into Norman terri
tory where Chickasha was held and
forced to punt Norman Immediately
returned the kick. the ball going to
Chickasha's Is yard line Chickasha
returned the ball to within ten yards
of the Norman goal and were penal
lied. Thrown for loss twice, the for
ward pass was again attempted, but
w. Abbott re-intercepted and ran IS
yards to touchdown, with the Chick
ashac Ian trailing. Davis kicked goal.
Play continued with practically the
same results, Chickasha stopping the
Norman advance, forcing them to kick
and in turn being held for downs Just
to show that he had many such stunts
in his system, w. Abbott again snatch
ed Chickasha forward pass out OF
the air and in a straightaway so yard
dash won by a nose and registered the
final touchdown of the game. Davis
kicked goal, making the score "a to 0.
There is no getting around the fact
that the Chickasha team fought hard.
They fell down, however, in at least
| two methods. Their attack was not
directed in the proper manner, and
they attempted too many eyebrow
/ tackles. Had they gone low the Nor
man advance could have been checked
and held. They evidently learned
lesson which should prove profitable.
Summing it all up, the best team won,
but won by a greater score than they
were entitled to.
