Ticket sellers who resold the paste boa rds at an increased price are re- ouired to give 70 per cent of their pro fits to the government. The state or New Jersey. under provisions of the hoxing law. also collects 10 per cent of the gate receipts. Profits or pre- liminarv boxers and all ring officials also will be taxed adding to the government proceeds of the bout.
 Georges Carpenter must pay his en- fire tax to the United States betore sailing for France. Dempsey may pay his tax in four installments next year the first being due in March, Iaz-' Revenue officials have pointed out that Carpenter also is likely to race anorher stringent income tax on ar rival in France. shrinking still more the earnings of the defeated boxer.

DEMPSEY READY
 FOR WILLARD
The Champion is Willing to Meet Any Suitable Opponent, Says Mir. Kearns His Manager.

New York. July 3.-Jack Dempsey is ready to fight Jess Willard any time the fight can be arranged, Jack Kearns, his manager, announced to- night.
 The champion is going West for q good vacation in few days, and after that, Kearns said, he will be ready 10 to fight anyone who presents himself with the proper credentials.
 Dempsey, happy at his victory over Carpenter and showing no marks of the encounter, passed as quiet day as his friends and fight fans would allow him. He had to give up his suite at the Hotel Belmont. which he oc- cupied with his manager and trainers, and seek a room by himself last night, because of the press of visitors. He was up at z o'clock this morning, and rushed around to the suite to wake up the rest of his entourage. Then he had a hearty breakfatst, and sauntered off with Mike Trant of Chicago to church for early mass.

On his return he ordered his auto mobile and drove uptown, where his three Belgian police dogs are quar- tered. After an affeetionate reunion he motored to Newark to see yester- days fight pictures displayed The rest of the day he motored around and enjoyed his new freedom from train ing camp discipline. After sojourn of a week or 10 days here finishing up some business matters and answering the hundreds of letters and telegrams of congratula tions. Dempsey will leave for his new home at Salt Lake City for a long rest. The last two years have been busy ones for the champion, with little or no chance for relaxation. and Jack longs to have good vaca> ton at this time-Gazette.

 BIG PROFIT
Expenses Bite Deeply Into Total Re
 ceipts of $1,16O,OOO.

New York, July 3-Tex Rickard figured today that his net profit from the Dempsy- Carpenter fight yesterday would be in the neighborhood of $55O.- O0O Expert accountants were busy all day checking and balancing the books used in the promotion of the contest. Rickard said he did not expect final and accurate statement before Wednes- day. but that expenses of all kinds would approximate $9OO.OOO, while the gross gate receipts are expected to ex- ceed S1 .6O0,0O0.
 It also was figured out that Demp- sey earned in the neighborhood of S29. .OOO a minute for his 10 minutes and 16 seconds of actual fighting Carpenters profits as the loser in the contest were approximately S19,5O0 per minute

| legislature. There was no need of
this special election; but the legis-
lature ordered it.. Are the voters
or the legislature to blame for this
special election? At this election
five burdens were added to the
taxpayers besides the expenses of
the election.
On May 21, 1920, another spec
ial election was held by order of
the legislature, and 1852 votes
were cast. There were nine ques-
tions on, and they all carried. Had
both of these elections been held
at the regular elections, most of
these would have been beatn.
On Nov 2. 1920, a general cleo
tion was held, and a full vote
was cost, being 247,S99. Eleven
questions were voted on and ten
of them were beaten. This does
not suit the tax eaters, and the
legislature made another call for
a special election to be seId on
the 7th of this month. This makes
four elections during the space of
two years and five days
Is it not about time for the vot-
ers to throw their politics aside
and beat the party in power and
elect Legislature of different. or
no politics. The trouble with our
state is that too many of our vot-
ers, If the devil was on their ticket
and their father on the opposing
ticket. would vote for the devil
and throw their father.
In looking over the votes cast
by the five members in the legis-
lature from Marion county on S. B.
500, calling the special election of
next Tuesday, we find that four
have voted in favor of the bill, and
one, Mr.. Kay, was discreetly alb
sent. Yours,

Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-06-03
St. Paul. Oregon. June /, 1921


To the Editor: In recent is
sue Of The Capital Journal we
read that our friend, Hon. Thos
Kay, blames the voters and not
the legislators for the high taxa
tion.
The legislators have certainly
gone the limit, There was time
when candidates had some fear OF
being defeated, and they would
promise economy; but that time
is all past. All they need now is
to get the republican nomination
and they are elected. In this. the
voters are to blame. If the par
ties were held more even, the vot-
ers would have a choice, and it
would be an inducement for a
member of the legislature to do
better. The republicans in the
state need good beating. ] don't
say by the democrats. Oh, mo-!
Let 1t be by a taxpayers league,
or by Independents, or by demo-
Gratis. Any one will do.
The tax eaters have discovered
that only a small vote is cast at
special elections, as the taxpayer
is disgusted and fails to vote; but
the voter that has nothing to lose
comes out and gives 3 majority to
the tax eating bills. There we
find the voters are blamed. Well,
In a way they are to blame Why
don't they come out and vote?
But the legislature is more to
blame, and our friend should lay
the blame there.
In two years we win have four
elections-one regular and three
special. On June 3. 1919. we had
a special election. Only 90,Ss7
votes were cast, and heavy bur
dens were laid on the taxpayers.
This election was ordered by the
