NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-If Jess Wi lard is going to fight Jack Dempsey again, and it seems he is, next spring, Jess ought to go out first and beat one or two good heavyweights to show that he's still in the champion ship class. l have mentioned this before, but it might as well be men, toned again.
 If Willard is put on with Dempsey again, without first proving that he has fair chance to win,. the ma 'ch will not deserve public support.
 Willard was a great heavyw eight when he whipped Johnson iE Ha- vana, in 1915. He went back rapidly after that fight, for he chang-d his manner of living.
 Before. fighting Johnson, Willard never had much money. He travelled around, boxing often. He trained nearly year for the Johnson fight AS champion he found luxuries he's never known before, grew fat, boxed one 10-round no-decision bout with Frank Moran and after four years of ring idleness fought Dempsey and was knocked out. Since then he hasn't boxed. s E. q $

EDCREN SAYS WILLARD SHOULD
 FIGHT SOMEBODY ELSE BEFORE HE TAKES ON PRESENT CHAMP

In any line of sport, boxing, tennis, golf, baseball football or anything else, constant competition is neces- sary if the athlete is to keep his form and ability.
 Although he has been living on his ranch and may be in much better physical condition than at Toledo, Willard is entirely out of boxing. Only a campaign including months of training and at least two real con- tests could possibly fit him to meet Dempsey With this preparation and his great strength and bulk, Willard might have a chance.
 Naturally proud of his strength ani thinking that his defeat by Dempsey was a mysterious sort of an accident, Willard probably feels that it would be undignified for him to go back to the runner-up class
 But the public doesn't thing of it that way If Willard has confidence in his ability he ought to welcome d chance to prove his right to a return match with the champion. If he has passed the time when he can come back successfully it would be an i'm position on the public to match him with Dempsey at all.

The adoption of the discus and javelin throws by the in- tercollegiate association means that both colleges will have to follow suit and have men proficient in them, so that they will have teams on equal footing with the remaining members of the organization when their annual meet is held
 Harvard and Princeton may also meet in a 15-event program, but that is still to be settled. Whatever meets Harvard programs otherwise for the spring are expected to be fought with an enlarged program

Food Prices in
ID. C.. Hotels

1YOORAYl The cost Of restaurant
meals apparently has started
- down. Gus Buchholz, proprietor
Of the Occidental, cuts his prices.
We hope that the rest of Washing
ton hotel keepers and restaurateurs
will wake up and follow suit.
A few-very few-feeders Of the
public have shown disposition to
lower rates for meals. The rest are
still charging prices that are out
landish.
During the war, they used to tell
us that food was high, and help was
expensive. Government figures show
that food is down. Help certainly
ought to be less expensive, with the
country full of men seeking jobs.
We were told during the war that
we paid-in some of the hotels
a certain percentage for sat
mosphere."
The casual visitor ate luncheon
recently in the grill of a prominent
Pennsylvania avenue hotel. The
atmosphere" consisted of young
women eating biscuit and ice cream,
travel-stained tourists hastily sip
ping soup, middle-aged men eating
noodles, clatter of dishes no end,
and fair service. Cost of meager
luncheon (including tip), 1920.
Visitors to Washington are con-
stantly complaining of food prices.
The reputation of hotels and restau-
rants is, to tourists, the reputation
Of the city.
Washington hotel keepers have it
in their power to make this great
convention center, a place where
folks will like to come, or one which
they shun as collection of gougers.
Think it over.

Poles Preempt
Home Products

Why should America sell
raw materials to European
business men and have
these business men manu-
facture this material into
articles which they send
back to the United States
to be sold in competition
with American manufac-
lures?
It's q good question. But
some countries don't do
that and don't intend to;
couldn't do It, indeed. II
they tried. There is Po-
land. for instance. Stanis-
law Arct, purchasing agent
for Poland in the United
States, puts the matter this
way:
''As all cotton mills are
located in the part of Po-
land which previously be-
longed to Russia, those
parts Of Poland which were
German or Austrian did not
use any of the output Of
these mills, but got their
products from Germany or
Austria. Now in United
Poland these parts are using
the cotton from these Polish
mills which are located in
the prior Russian Poland.
ln are-war times these
mills exported out of Poland
so per cent Of their produc-
ton. Now in United Poland,
with normal consumption,
there will be no surplus left;
and these $50, 900 bales are
required, for home consump-
ton. There Ia, indeed, a
ready market for Polish
goods right on the border
that is, in Roumania, Rus
sia and Lithuania- In pre-
war times that border mar
ket consumed about $780, 900
bales.
TT is absolutely certain
that, to meet these require
ments, we shall have to in
crease the output Of our
mills, and to get not $780,
900 bales, but about 100000
bales a year, provided we
can get them. Our mills are
fitted TO work out this
amount"

Right TeU
of Taxation

THE public expects sense when
Postmaster General Hays talks,
and is not disappointed.
Recall this utterance before the
Fifth Avenue Association in New
York:
''To make business more fruit
ful the Government must abstain
from taking an excessive amount
Of mems earnings in taxes; must
practice the utmost efficiency and
economy and must lay tho taxes
In such q way as to cause the
minimum Of Interference with the
normal processes Of business.
That is plain and pointed. But
Mr. Hays was more specific. He ex-
pressed hope and expectation Of an
early change in our tax system by
which the levy on incomes would
fbe ightened and more Of the burden
rplaced on consumption, adding:
"A citizen should contribute to
the cost Of society in proportion
as he consumes the labor Of So
ciety."
Because this principle is sound we
advocate the sales tax. Evidently
/, in the near future it will have the
active support of the Harding Ad-
ministration.
Indeed, reduced taxes with in
creased economy are needs so clear
that no party can remain in power
unless it supplies both in progress
Sive measure.
