while Sharkey and Jack johnson are

Georgetown Ready
To Take on q. w. u.

A game of football for next
Thanksgiving Day was ar
ranged today between repre-
sentatives of Georgetown and
George Washington, in session
on the Hilltop. Graduate Man
ager Charles Cox, Of George
town, and Graduate Manager
David A. Baer, of George
Washington, talked over pre-
liminaries after satisfactorily
agreeing to the engagement.
When football was reinstated at
the downtown school recently
and Baer assumed his mana
gerial duties, talk of a football
game between the two schools
was started. Officials of both
institutions are known to view
the situation favorably, hat will
make no declaration. The man
ayers got together yesterday
over the phone and arranged a
meeting for today. It was
understood that Catholic Uni
versity wanted q game with
George Washington for the
holiday, but may be asked to
take an earlier date. The last
meeting between the teams was
ten years ago..
The severance Of relations with
Virginia has robbed George
town of a big game here.
Financially the Georgetown
George Washington meeting
will be a big thing for both in
stitutions. The managers have
agreed to the game and will
take the matter up with the
executive boards Of the insti-
tutions. = decision is expected
within a week.

LONDON LOOKING
FOR ADDITIONAL
REVENUE SOURCE

London, Dec. 1s.-What can we tax
next? Is the question which financial
advisers of the government are puz-
cling over as the time draws near for
next years budget. With the cost of
the war steadily mounting, any pro-
posal that bids fair to realize a few
thousand pounds per year without in
justice to individuals and without in
creased cost of collection is worth
careful scrutiny. The new French tax
on all who buy extravagant meals at
cafes and restaurants is being favor
ably watched from the English side
of the channel, and at the same time
public revenue are being examined to
see If they can be made to yield more.
A writer in the Economist, suggests
a revision of the numerous license du-
ties, other than liquor licenses. For
example, manufacturer of wood al
cohol now pays an annual license Of
10 pounds, 10 shillings, while a manu-
facturer of petrol or gasoline only
pays one pound. "The number of
firms involved is less than eighty"
says the writer, ''but it is believed that
they could safely stand considerable
increase in charges. A similar increase
is possible in the case of dealers in
these commodities. Almost as much
more could be obtained by increasing
the licensing fee for selling patent
medicines from five shillings to a
pound. These licenses, moreover, are
at present collected only in Great
Britain and could be extended without
great injustice to Ireland as well.
1T must be said,' writes another
| tax expert, that so small an annual
duty as five shillings ought never to
have been imposed for any purpose.
| The cost of collecting such sum once
q year is altogether out of proportion
to the revenue secured. Even the dog
tax, which at present rate of rs Sd
/ ($1.S5) yields nearly 100000 pounds
| yearly, could certainly be increased
| without appreciate. hardship
The present license fee charged for
| dealers in tobacco is IS sd per year.
1t is proposed to increase this to one
pound, representing an increase in
revenue of nearly 100000 pounds.
A doubling of license fees is recon-
| mended for real estate agents and
dealers in gold and silver. The former
| now pay from two to ten pounds, the
latter from two pounds, six shillings
to five pounds, fifteen shillngs. An in
crease of about 10000 pounds year in
the treasury's receipts could be ob-
tanned by these increases.
Playing cards, which at present pay
three pence pack, may be expected
to suffer an increase to perhaps six
| pense.
Other licenses which are likely to be
increased are the duties on male SER
wants, on carriages and motor cars
the gun licenses and the licenses in
connection with the hunting or preser-
walton of game The tax on male SER
wants may also be supplemented by q
new tax on all households employing
more than one female servant The
tax on male servants at present is
fifteen shillings a year.

JAP. PROFESSOR
WR|TES|MPRESS|ON
OF THE PRESIDENT
BY Assoc1ArEp pRrss.

TOXIC, Japan, Dec. 19.-The ref1ec-
ton of President Wilson has caused
DIR. Inazo Nitobe, of the Imperial Uni
versity, to write some "reminiscences
when he and Mr.. Wilson were fellow
students in the graduate department
of political and economic science in
Johns Hopkins University.
'Mr. Wilson showed even then that
he was a man apart said DR.. Nitobe
when he went to Johns Hopkins he
specialized in political economy. He
was about % years of age, four years
older than 1 and older than most of
his class. His demeanor was always
gentlemanly and dignified and he al
ways impressed US by his maturity.
In our seminars the students would
often turn to him on a debated cues
ton and ask What about it, Will
SOM"
DR.. Nitobe recalled that President
Wilson was a great admirer Of Bag
ehot. the English essayist and that
when he wrote his Congressional
Government he had in mind Bagehot's
phrase Parliamentary Government
or governments in which the executive
work is strongly Influenced by COM
mittees of the legislature. Mr.. Wilson
often read papers in the seminars
which latter appeared in his book Ind
which caused him to be widely known.
"On one occasion" explained Prof
Nitobe, "our professor gave me 'Aris-
totle's Politics. the main points of
which was to tabulate. When I came
TO Aristotles references to milk as
an essential in the proper nourishment
of the young, 1 was in a quandary
whether or not 1 should put it down.
l did so, but was somewhat chagrine6
when my fellow students laughed at
my including milk as one of the es-
sential points of Aristotle's education
al scheme. Wilson, however. took it
most seriously and / remember that
was greatly comforted by seeing him
copy my tabulation with great care.
And in a book called The State which
Mr.. Wilson wrote later, and which has
been translated into Japanese, I was
very happy to discover that he gave a
resume of Aristotle's political doc
trines and that the points which he
brought out were almost Identical
with the tabulation which had caused
the other men TO laugh"
