VARSITY

Stroke and Captain J. Mckay Lott is
the nephew of the captain (the late
Joseph Mckay of winning Columbia
crew which the writer coached few
years ago. Lott is long, 1.-the and sup
pie and, moreover, has the proper
psychic control Of himself and his
crew. Saacke at No backs up stroke
wonderfully we'll. This is very good
sign, for when stroke and No. are
together the boat is fairly sure to
make speed.
Aside from these two stern seat men
Hyde bulks big as a polished and po-
tential oarsman.
Thus much for the complimentary
stuff.
One of the faults of the Columbia
crew is that the men buck" t. e. that
they meet their oars-that they expend
physical energy in bringing the torso
up to the oar handle instead of pull
ing the oar into the chest and thus
making more propelling power.

William J. Deegan. secretary of the
Mackay companies, in discussing the
governments action, said last night:
"That claim is ten years old and is
now trotted out for a purpose. The
case is merely difference of opinion
as TO the amount OF depreciation to
which we are entitled We allowed
7 per cent on our submarine cables.
but the government claims we are en-
titled &c only ? per cent. The income
tax people have no experience with
submarine cables and we are sure that
the testimony Of experts will prove
that 2 per cent IS a ridiculously low
figure for such properties. There is
nothing else involved in this case. but
the matter of depreciation, and every
business man knows what 3 difficult
thing that Is. This merely IS q test
case instituted by the government to
ascertain what depreciation should be
allowed on submarine cables, because
it is thing that has never before
been judicially determined"
The total for taxes alleged due Is
more than $s7.7s1, according to Mr.
Cafey.

Up to the present time about
100 persons have paid the dog
tax in Claiborne county, but
there are at least 5000 other dogs
that have not been registered.
The least that an evader of the
law can get off with, if hailed to
court for failure to pay the tax,
is SAG, and it will be lots easier to
indict a dog tax dodger than it is
to indict a boot-leggar.

ey if your sheep are killed, proper
steps must be taken within five
days after your sheep are killed,
and the law sets out just what
you must do, and how to do it.

him and charge it up to the dogs.
