WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, D. c., May S.-The peo-
pie of Washington, some of whom have
seen many years Of Republican control
are used to seeing the high salaried at
torneys of the corporations come tC
Washington and go away with what
they came for, but surprise is growing
over the fact that under this admins
trationI they not only ask and receive
but, what's more, they get it all.
Wearily the observers wait to see
Harding do some one thing for the
common good, rather than many things
for the good of the heavy campaign
contributors Again the words of the
Bible come home with forceful truth
unto him who hath it shall be given"
The great corporations have been re-
lieved of the excess profit taxes, the
corporation taxes have been so read
justed that the big ones pay less and
the small ones of lesser influence and
ability pay more, the tariff is being so
raised that the rich manufacturers
will receive even more profit while the
consumer must pay for all he uses,
the currency is being contracted at
rapid rate in order to make money,
the merchandise of the rcn, more
powerful and far-reachirg. Encour-
aged by the applause of the privileged
classes, the administration even goes
so far as to turn over to the Standard
Oil Companies the great ground re-
serve of fuel oil which the Wilson ad-
ministriaton set aside for the use of
the navy in the years to come. The
great Teapot Dome region in Wyoming,
known to contain many millions of
barrels of the precious oil, has beor
given to the Sinclair Consolidated Oil
Company. The administration prob
ably trusted Standard Oil of indiana
now controls the Sinclair Company
through stock ownership, obtained
while Harry Sinclair was in Europe
on business. When he got home he
found that control Of his company had
passed to the Standard. So it is witt
the great California reserve; it is now
in the hands of Pan-American Pstro.
leum, controlled by Doheny, close ally
and partner with the Standard cf
California.
When Harding won the election one
Of the demands made of him was tha
Senator Fall of New Mexico should be
Secretary of the Interior; the preda-
tory corporations desired nothing
more than this, SO far as the public
domain was concerned. They knew
Fall and knew he would do. Clrtainl'
they are not being disappointed With
such grab-fest proceeding right out
in the public view, men are justified in
wondering what is being done with the
public properties in Alaska, where
minerals of untold value are known to
exist, and in which every citizen of
the country has an interest, as in the
public oil lands of Wyoming and Cal
ifornia.

To Widen State Roads.

Enlargement of the National Pike
BY widening il from 80 to 80 feet from
Baltimore Md, to Columbus O., is un-
der consideration by the State highway
departments Of Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. This gigantic road
improvement, if carried out, would
give TO the communities through which
IT runs the first really modern and ad-
equate motor highway in the United
States.
The proposition as understood in
wolves the widening of the highway
every time stretch of il is repaired
or improved. In this manner portions
Of it can be gradually built up TO the
new 5O-foot width and in the course
Of five years, in which repairs would
have 10 be made to every mile. the
road would be practically doubled
for car capacity. The change would
necessitate the expenditure of many
millions.
1t IS imperative, however, to give
more room for automobiles on this
greatly Travelled route. No former
connection of the limits OF car travel
can be used to measure the capacity
required for the future. Ten years
ago the sight of transcontinental
tourist was rarity. Today the coast
10 coast car is so commonplace as to
escape notice.
Recent Checking" of the travel on
the pike in the mountains has devel-
oped some startling figures. On 4
recent Wednesday, with rain fall and
heavy wind all day, a total of 2,sO6 cars
passed a given point on the mountain
side. On a good Sunday as high as
600 cars have been counted in an hour.
More room for travel and less for ac-
cidents is imperatively demanded.

We Lose The Last Game.

shepherd College closed its 1922
FOOTBALL season Thanksgiving day by
losing a hard-fought game to Western
high School, of Washington, d. c.,
by the score of IS to 6. The college
entered the fray with the odds in its
favor. After the first few minutes of
play, Walker recovered tumble and
raced IS yards for the only touchdown
registered by the gold and blue during
the encounter. w H. S. only made
one touchdown on straight football.
Inc others were made by the aerial
route We hate to criticise, but the
fact that our backfeld men did not COW
er up on the visitors passes lost the
game for us. The district lads out
weighed the local aggregation almost
oy twenty pounds. 1t was a clean.
hard-fought game and the victory went
to the best team. Rider and Knode
were hurt during the course of the af.
ternoon, but were able to return later
on Floyd Flickinger was not So for
'uhate. IN some manner he splintered
small bone in his left leg Just above
the ankle. Flick played a mighty good
game for the length of time that no
was hitting on all six" This. wa
think is the only serious injury that
mas occurred to any member of tho
college eleven this season. Red Har-
ris, you all know, played his usual
game-football.
thus the curtain dropped with
bang on the second year of football AZ

that We look back over those two wears
II is true that we only won one game
last year-that was the game we want
ed, though, from Martnsbure High

defenders turned in FIVE wins out of
eiSht starts. One game was lost to
High, S. V. A. and West

games are as follows: S. C. 10, Fred

VIII be seen that S. C. scored 100
points to 10 by their opponents. An
mother thing that will be noticed is that
no matter If we won or lost, the old
punch was always evident in the fac,
mat we scored in every game. The
