TAXATION PROBLEMS
Ur TO CONGRESS
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-This
winters session of Congress promises
to bring a spirited contest over GER
tain aspects of Federal taxation.
During the war period, when the
public understood that the country
faced an emergency, less attention
was paid to what might be called
the scientific equilibrium of taxa
ton. The public knew the govern
ment needed none to keep up Its
vast war expenditures n the Ike
were paid, generally without very
much question. With the war over
and the people showing a growing
tendency to analyze such matters,
the various taxes are coming i'll for
close scrutiny to determine their
fairness and their relative wisdom.
Three vital points will be up fer
discussion during this winters ses-
sion and, in all probability, there will
be legislation on some if not all of
them. They are: first, the question
of surtaxes: second, the tax exemp-
ton of municipal and state securi-
ties, and third, the taxability of I'M
divided surpluses. On every one OF
these questions, members of both
houses are divided, so the session
promises 10 SoAle llfeiy la
contests.
The question of surtaxes is II
involving the economic law of dim
inishing returns. Another way OF
stating the matter is to say it in
wolves killing the goose that lays the
golden eggs.
Surfaces are paid only by COM
paratively wealthy people and by
great corporations. To become liable
for surtaxes means that a large in
come is being enjoyed. There are
two schools of thought on the ques-
ton. One is that the people and
corporations who RI getting big in
comes should be taxed to the limit.
The opposing theory is that such tax
alton is a discrimination and will
inevitably defeat itself by provoking
all manner of legal evasions OF tax
es. This theory is that a rich man
or corporation will pay a good round
tax If he thinks it fair and the gov
| eminent will get much out
of such payments. but that il he
thinks the tax is unfair he will do
everything he can to defeat its pur-
pose. Secretary of the Treasury Mel
Ion declares that the government will
get a bigger revenue out of q mod
crate surtax than out OF what may
be regarded as an eXtortionate sur
tax.
Many Ways to Evade Surtax
One of the highest officials of the
government recently boosted that he
knew a hundred ways to evade the
s~urtaxes. This in all probability was

JACK M'AULIFFE OLD RING
 , WARRIOR HAS THE STAGE

Jack McAuliffe, former lightweight champion of the bare knuck1e days, who is proud of his title as the Oniy retired, unbeaten champion, is getting back in a war-like mood over stories printed in New York that he, his rec. ord and his title are the bunk.
 II was the recognized 133-pound champion for twelve years. I held the title longer, defended it more times and went through more finish lights than any other champion of any other class" Jack says in self defense. cF,rb5
 When I started fighting in the professional ring in 1885 there were only four classes the featherweight, lightweight middleweight and heavy weight and the featherweight dfvis-. ion didn't amount to much.
 There was no recognized worlds lightweight champion until 1886, my Mitchell refused to fight. Edward Hofske, a writer on the Boston Po- lice News gave mo @ belt to defend as the lightweight champion and retained 1t by knocking out Bill Fra zier in twenty-one rounds in Boston. October a9. 1888.

 Later in 1887 the Police Gazette presented me with a belt in recogni- ton of the worlds lightweight cham the money on Blue Wing in the Brooklyn handicap and he was sec ond by @ whisker.
 The editor of the Police Gazette got the belt out of the pawnshop, had 1t done over and presented 1t to Ter ry McGoVern. Sam Harris. who used to manage McGovern, still has the belt.
 "I never kept track of the belts. Money used to go easily in those loose days and I was usually in need of cash, so I hooked them just as soon as got them. When friends would ask to see them l would tell carry around and that had them locked up in. the safe.
 When I retired in 1897, a big do- ings was arranged in the old Wallick theater. The late John L. Sullivan, master of ceremonies, was to an Kid Lavigne as the next champion. He went through with a long speech and then turned to me and asked for the belt. told him I would give 1t to him after the show, I was all dolled up in the full dress and I near wards, when I handed Lavfgne a hook ticket for the belt.''

BRIDGEPORT HIGH ELEVEN WEAK ON
 DEFENSIVE LINES
By CHICK CREATION.

In loosely played game at New field Park, yesterday, in which the football team which repr esents the High school, proved itself to be woe fully weak in all departments of the game with the possible exception of offense, the Naugatuck aggregation defeated the Bridgeporters in the Red and Black second tilt of the season. 6 to O.
 The Valley team was decidedly lucky at that. The game was vir- tually handed to them on a silver platter when Howie Seeley, who oth- erwise played brilliant game at halfbacR, got off a miserable punt on Bridgeport's first attempt at a kick. The pigskin travelled less than ten from the ground at any time during its flight. The ball never left local territory on Seeley's punt It was recovered by a fleet Naugy forward on the high schools thirty yard line. Then after a series of plunges and return kicks the ball finally reached the locals 20 yard line in the hands of the River center.
 Frosl this position on three line p1unges and a short end run the Naugy backs ripped through for the first counter The scrimmage after the touchdown resulted in a poor kick from placement by Heating.
 Team Needs Tutoring.
 The locals showed a wonderful spirit on the attack. Jakobowsky tearing the opposing line to shreads. This boy with proper coaching will be. a star. Howie Seeley and Frank face, played a marvellous game. The team as 1t is now stands to loose every remaining game on it's schedule un- less the coaches drum a little knowl- edge of the sport into the players. That appears to be all that is needed, p1ain football training.

Long Johns pitching bones were laid to rest last July Pat Moran or obsequies. He had pronounced Johns pitching days over, the dirge was droned and the baseball world soon forgot that John Scott had ever lived.
 Scott Surprise of Game.
 Then some world being communi- cated with spirit land and Scott learn ed there was dearth of pitchers lie turned over in his musty cofhn, pugh- eight pound advantage over him. The earth. He liked it, decided to stay, got a job, and showed faint signs of ma teria1izing. John McGraw of the Giants needed pitchers and ne Woulu have them, even if they had to be resurrected.
 So the gaunt figure of John Scott appeared yesterday on the mound they call the pitchers box. Versed as he was in the tricks of the beyond, he put em where the Tanks couldnt see them. Everywhere a Yank waged his bat there was an emptiness. some times long John let them tap them, depending on the support. and his de- pendence was well placed.

 The Giants scored their runs or the third game in the third and seV- Hntfis innings. The phantom opened the third with a single over second. Bancroft then sent hot grounder to Ward, who kicked it into center. The blow might have gone for a hit, as Ward had to make a great awe to get behind it, but the scorers called 1t an error. It sent Scott to th1ra. Groh then bounced high one 10 Hoyt, who tossed to Dugan catching Scott on the way home. Bancroft got to third and Groh to second while the out was being made.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 7-Captain Jordan and Quarterback Charlie OIIearn of the Yale football team, will not play against North Caroline today because of injuries. Bench will take the captains place, while Beckett will run the team at quar- terback. The loss of these two men from the lineup probably will be felt, as the Tarheels are here with a strong team.
 The team arrived yesterday after noon and will have a workout ina the Bowl in the morning. It is report ed that the North Carolina eleven is much stronger one than that which faced Yale last year. Without O'Hearn and Jordan Yale may be pressed hard to win.
