was convicted OF one-and drew a life

WOMAN'S PLACE IN SPORTS

There have been through the centuries Ger.
tain learned discourses womans place in
politics. the home, the commercial world and
SO on. Woman, however, has refused to stay
put. She has stepped out and found her own
place
This is particularly true in the world of
sports. A few years ago not many branches
OF athletics nor many games Of any sort
were open to the fair sex, except as garnes
which they might behold spectators only.
Baseball. boxing and football are practically
the only games that have not been generally
taken UP by woman. She has become pro-
ficient at tennis, golf. swimming hunting,
ANGLING and trap-shootng and she has shown
that she can row In q racing shell, drive a
racing car and even hold the reins over a trot-
ting horse.
At golf woman has made for herself place
as well defined as the place she occupies In
tennis.
The girls in the high schools Of the land

brothers.
But they'll never shine at baseball
For they'll never learn to throw

Think FOnd's
Example Bad

THE Interstate Commerce Com
mission has refused to let
Henry Ford lower freight
rates over his railroad. Ford is
ordered to restore the old rates.
We hope that Mr.. Ford will 90 to
the Supreme Court upon this issue.
We do not believe that the Com
mission has or can have the power
to compel common carrier to
charge more for his services than he
desires to charge.
We are not debating either the
statutory right or the custom of the
Commission. We believe that any
statute clothing the Commission
with such authority is fundamental
ly unconstitutional, provided the
proposed rates are reasonable"
The general welfare" clause
can, indeed, be stretched to cover
almost any aggression upon the
rights of individuals and States,
but the regulatory power intended
to prevent extortionate rates does
not and cannot carry with it the
power to forbid the cheapening of
transportation service, which is pro.
motive of the public welfare.
The motive back of this refusal
to let Mr.. Ford give shippers
cheaper rates is clear enough. 4
The other common carriers are
charging almost prohibitory high
rates, sanctioned by the Interstate
Commission. If Mr.. Ford is per-
mitted to charge less for freight
carrying, and makes money from re-
duced. rates, then the unreasonable
ness of the rates the other railroads
are permitted to charge will at once
become plain.
If Ford can operate a railroad
more efficiently and economically
than professional railroad men can
operate other roads, the public
should find it out.

Sales Tax
Fair Tax

rHE sales tax is the only fair tax.
See how the others work. Take
the income tax. Those who
make money pay an income tax.
Those who do not make money do
not pay an income tax.
Yet both have had the protection
and advantage of government, for
which taxes are levied.
That's not fair, is iti
Take the excess profits tax. Those
who make big enough profits pay
that tax. Those who do not make
big enough profits do not have to
pay that tax.
Yet both had the same advantages
and protection for which taxes are
levied to maintain government.
So the excess profits tax is not a
fair tax.
The Government gives to each the
same advantage it gives to the other
police protection, courts, laws,
sanitary regulations, schools and
thousand other things.
And then it makes the smart and
efficient business man or wage earn
er pay for the advantages it gives
to the stupid and inefficient business
man or wage Garner.
In other words, the Government
offers a bonus for stupidity, extrava-
gance and inefficiency.
The protection and advantages of
government are given to all alike,
and then the ones who do the most
to help production and trade and
employment are made to pay the
whole cost of the protection and
advantages.
That's not fair.
That's very unfair.
On the other hand, the sales tax
falls on each and all alike in exact
proportion to the way each lives and
spends.
That is fair and square taxation.
And in the long run the fair and
square thing is always the most
satisfactory thing.

The Nation for the Bonus.

THAT twenty-five States have
either begun the distribution
of bonuses to their veterans,
or have provided by law for a bonus,
while all the remainder of our COM
monwealths, except three, have rec
ognized the imperative duty of Civ
ing aid to veterans in some form are
facts not to be ignored by Congress.
By State legislative act $685. 500
600 has already been provided for
bonuses. In States that have not
made cash appropriations valuable
privileges such as aid in buying
homes, assistance in settling on
farms or aid in vocational educa-
tion, are provided. In several
States the cash bonus has been
voted by the Legislatures, but its
actual appropriation awaits the re-
suit of Statewide referenda.
This practically universal recogni-
ton in the States of the duty they
owe to the men who served their
Nation in its moment of need does
not in the slightest degree relieve
Congress of its concurrent, or rather
its more imperative, duty in the
same direction.
For the war was fought by and
for the Nation; the men who fought
it enlisted in National army and
wore a Federal uniform. 1t is for
the Nation as a whole to recognize,
so far as that may be possible, their
devotion.
