Aerial Attack
OF Indians To
Much for S'H.S

Inability of Coach Chief Eg-
bert's backs to fathom the oft-re-
peated aerial attack of the Indians
was directly responsible for the ~
to ~ defeat handed the Salem
High school eleven by the Cinema
wa second team on Sweatland
field yesterday afternoon.
Time and again the Chemawa
pivot man tossed the pigskin in the
ever ready hands of Quarterback
Biddle or one of the fast Indian
ends for substantial gains, and two
of the victors touchdowns resulted
directly from these passes.
With the game scarcely more
than started Biddle scooped a pass
out of the air on Salem's 35-yard
line and raced down clear field
over the line. Biddle was also
responsible for Chemawa's second
trip across the line when, with the
ball on the Indians two-yard line
and thhe Salem lads striving 10
put it across. the little quarterback
intercepted pass and led his pur-
suers the length of the field. The
Indians negotiated their last touch
down in the third quarter via the
aerial route.
Salem came back stronger in the
SCI cond quarter with the score IL 10
against them and for a few mo-
ments appeared to have solved the
| ~ thnir nnn0nentS.
but a slight shift in the Indians
formation once more freeed the air
I lanes to the tosses and they utilized
the pass route for numerous more
gains. Salem appeared at loss to
combat this form of attack.
Gain Through Line
I The high school lads were able
| to complete their passes for SUD
stantial gains only few times
cnce over the line for six points
They were masters of the line
plunging attack, however, ana
gained ground consistently through
the line. Failure of the backs to
utilize the holes opened for them
, in the line was largely responsible
! for Salem's failure to score through
this method of play on at least two
occasions.
One of the features of the game
was the work of the Salem ends
in running down under the kicks
/ and their work kept the indians
out of the scoring zone on several
occasions The individual work oil
| the high school lads showed W
brightly at times but their team
work was not on a par with that
of the Indians, nor was the attack
varied enough to be consistently
efficient. The defense of both
teams was weak

sive. TIE high rate OF return on his
stock also Is proving attractive now
TO investors who would invest only IN
high grade bonds, this demonstrating
that high rates of tax are inclined to
cultivate speculative tendencies, rain
er than encourage caution and thrift.
And even with the inducement of
return, capital has been, to consider
able extent, diverted from investment
in industries to investment in securi-
ties which are exempt from tax.
Repeal Of Excess Profits Tax.
Zone Of the most urgent reforms in
our present system of taxation Is the
repeal of the excess profits tax. This
tax in it's present form though PROB
ably justifiable as means Of raising
revenue for the prosecution Of the
war is both unscientific in principle
and economically unsound. Although
this tax Is In the form of a direct tax
on profits, It Is, in effect most UNI
satisfactory commodity tax. A man
ufacturer or merchant, or other bust
ness concern subject to the tax is re-
|quired to estimate in advance, the
amount which he is compelled to add
to the selling price of the commodity
and to pass the same on to the ulti-
mate consumer, in order to protect
himself against the heavy imposition
Because OF the uncertainty Of the de-
termination of tax owing to the in
I'tricacies and complexities of the law
business concern is apt to overes-
innate, rather than underestimate, Its
Inability. In doing this, it becomes
an unintentional profiteer in protect
ing itself from an undue usurpatior
of its earnings. If we abolish the ex-
cess profits tax, we undoubtedly will
have eliminated potent factor in the
existing high cost Of living"

SCIENTIFIC AND EcoNOM.
ICALLY UNSoUND.

The burden of continued war-time
ederal taxation must be lifted from
American business and industry be-
fore this country can meet the world
demand for increased production and
expansion, according to Morris F.
Frey, tax consultant of the Guaranty
Trust company Of New York. Large
ly increasde production is vital to the
solution of present. unstable social con-
ditiops, Mr.. Frey contends. but bust
ness concerns can not be expected to
accept the hazards Of extensive ex-
pansion and at the same time pay to
the government large proportion of
their profits in the form Of excess
profits and income taxes"
Mr.. Frey advocates the immediate
repeal OF the excess profits tax, which,
though probably justlfiable as a
means of raising revenue for the pros
ecution Of the war, is both unscienti-
fic in principle and economically I'M
sound" He favors general reduce
.tion Of income taxes, and change in
the present method Of assessing pro-
fits derived from the sale of capital
assets. as well as remedy for thu
situation which now subjects interest
on deposits Of foreign banks in Am
erica to taxation. In part, Mr.. Frey
says:
Nothing can help solve the present
unstable social conditions better than
largely increased production, but bus
mess concerns can not be expected to
accept the hazards Of extensive ex-
pansion and at the same time pay to

Fuse cutting and Gaping are gem
orally done In surface buildings By a
man detailed especially for this work.
Fuse is cut practically as needed. and
care Is taken to cut 1t squarely and
clearly with sharp knife. The blast
ing caps are then put on and gently
pressed to make sure that the end OF
the fuse is well seated on the compo-
sition in each cap. Caps are then
crimped with the approved type Of
cap crimper, which makes flat
crimp about ~ inches wide, close to
where the fuse enters. II fuses are to
be used in very wet work, the juno
ton Of the cap and fuse is waterproof
ed by dipping or painting it with a
standard capsealing compound made
especially for that purpose.
The use of less sensitive types of
explosives, in connection with high
grade blasting accessories, Is doubt
less an important factor in minimiz-
ing blasting accidents. The record of
this district, In its comparative free
dom from blasting accidents, Is most
commendable.
Storage Of Explosives.
The storage Of explosives in this
district has been a problem because
of the broken topography Of the coun
I try. Narrow canyons, steep hills and
congestion of buildings at the mines
have in several instances compelled
the use Of underground magazines
Tunnels are driven, apart from any
ether mine workings, back into solid
rock about 100 feet, and a room is
chambered out and lined with cement
or timbers. Boards or wooden racks
are put in to keep the cases of explo-
sives off the floor and away from the
walls. About 30 to so days supply OF
explosives Is stocked. This under
ground storage, although not consid-
cred by authorities as ideal, because
of dampness and limited ventilation
has nevertheless proved to be salts

conditions permit, outside powder
magazines Of standard specifications
are provided; that Is, fire-proof, wea.

ventilated. Blasting caps are never
