Douglas Bon1eisler
Defeats Kunhardt
I'm Class B Squash
Yale Club Player Proves
Easy Victor in Straight
Games, 1873. 1910. 1877

Douglas Bomeisler, the sturdy Yale
Club player, breezed through to an easy
victory in the final of the Glass p in
vitation squash tennis tournament at
the Squash Club yesterday afternoon,
defeating Kingsley Kunhardt, of the
Columbia Club, 15--8, 1910, 15--7
Kunhardt was erratic and made many
errors, while Bomeisler played well
rounded game throughout.
Had kunhardt been at his best it is
doubtful if he could have coped with
Bomesler's hard drives along the side
walls and straight I'D and down the
court counted for points often, as did
his cross court shots, which the Colum-
bia Club man could not handle with
any degree of success.
They played fairly even during the
first half of the opening game, the
score being all, when Bomeisler
speeded up. From this stage until the
finsh Kunhardt was held to lonely
points, while Bomeisler ran to 10 and
out.
In the second game Kunhardt led at
Is, but another whirlwind finish by
Bomeisler settled the issue, the Yale
man scoring 10 points in six hands.
Not all Of these were earned, however,
for Kunhsrdt missed often and re-
peatedly slammed the ball into the
tell-tale.
Bomeisler took the lead early in the
final game and won as he pleased, as
the point score which follows will in

The Poor Mans Taxes.
lDillon Heraldl.

Once upon a time some wise
man said there We're two sides to
every question, and it is worth
noting that other wise mep have
not been able to prove that he was
wrong. 1t is hard to make the av-
erage man believe there are two
sides to the tax question because he
has heard only one side Of it. But
there is another side to. this much
discussed question and lets take a
look at. it. The cry that the poor
man pays the bulk of the taxes is
misleading. a poor man is not sup
posed to own anything and the man
who does not own property cannot
be a taxpayer. If. anyone will take
the trouble to look over the coun-
ty treasurer's books they will find
that-the great bulk Of the taxes are
paid by wealthy men and men in
moderate circumstances. We have
an idea some demagogue raised the
"tax-burdened-p cry. and
as the poor men outnunlber the
rich men ten to one the Cry prov
ed so popular that it stuck. The
poor man who pays road and poll
or small property tax is the very
man who should advocate high
taxes for public improvements.
When he pays ST for good schools
and efficient teachers the rich man
pays 500; when he is taxed 81 for
building modern highway the rich
man pays 500. The poor mans
children have the same privileges
at the public school and the poor
man himself gets just as much
benefit from modern highway
as the richest man in America.
Nine-tenths of our taxes go to pub
lie schools and good roads, and the
politician who poses as the poor
mans friend and breaches the gos--
pei of lower taxes is fighting tn.
very man ne is pretending to help.
That is the other side of the tax
uuestion-but not as the dema-
gogue sees it.

INCOMES IN { s.
SOUTH CAROLINA

The number of federal. personal
income tax returns for the calen-
dar year, ended December 81, 1920,
filed in South Carolina, was 1904
representing net income amounting
to s109,246,657 and tax (normal
tax and surtax) of s3,236,s75.
AS compared with 1919, the.
above figures show a decrease of
4,252 in returns fled, as well as a
decrease in the total net income
amounting to s3S,442,175 and a
decrease in the tax. of $1,955.145.
The proportion of the population
of the United States who fled per-
sonal income tax returns for the
eGa1endar year ended December 81.
1920, was SIS percent; whereas
the proportion of the population of
Souti, Carolina fling returns was
1.95. The average net income per
return for the United States was
S3,2S9.40, whereas for South Car
oIina, it wasNs3 $1,000, and the av-
erage amount OF the personal IN
come tax per return in the United
States was s14S.0S, while for South

FEDERAL AID FOR
ROAD BUILDING
Approximately s1OO,ooo,oo0
To BE Spent During Year
States Must Pay Half

Washington, July 9.-Approxi-
mately s1G0,000,000 will be spent
for good road construction through
out the country during the fiscal
year which began July 1. This
viii be brought about. by the
continuation Of federal aid for
roads under recent authorization
Of an appropriation of almost $780,
100000. for distribution among the
several states Under the condi-
tons of the aid each state must
match the sum allotted it.
AT the same time the postofice
appropriation bill, signed by Presi-
dent Harding June Is, authorized
appropriation of s65,00e,000 for
the same purpose to be expended
during the period, if, the states
adhere to the stipulation and ex-
pend like sums, to. s320,900,000.
The funds will be administered
by the secretary of agriculture
through the bureau of good roads.
! It is. estimated that the $780,
100000 appropriated viii result in
the construction Of more than 25,-
600 miles Of road, which, added to
the $4,000 miles that are expected
to result from previous federal ap-
preparations, make a total of H.
600 miles, or nearly 40 per cent
Of the estimated 10000 miles Of
good roads on the. system Of fed
eral aid roads now being outlined.
With the aid Of the $3.50, ,000,-.
600 previously appropriated by the
government, 1900 miles of road
had been completed on last May
81 and in addition nearly 1850
miles were under construction, in
volving more than s287,500;000s of
federal aid. To match this fund
the states have appropriated ap-
proximately s3S0,008,000, making
a total of s667, 500 600.
The average cost per mile Of all
types of road constructed with
federal aid has been s7,120, OF
which 43 per cent has been the
cost to the government. The new
legislation, however, reduces the,
maximum. participation on the part
of the government from $4,000 to
s15,250 per mile for the first
fiscal year and $4,000 thereafter.
The appropriations are to be used
on construction of a connected
system of primary, or interstate,
and secondary, Or intercounty,
roads.
It is further provided that the
states receiving aid must maintain
adequate highway departments,
must maintain the federal roads
when completed, must construct
roads sufficient to the traffic antici-
pated, and must match amounts
allotted by the government. Other
wise, the federal funds for new
projects will be withheld.
Plans for the proposed system
have already been received by the
bureau of good roads from all but
eight states, and the state systems
are being coordinated so that when
joined together they will serve the
best interests of the whole eoun-
try. In the meantime only pro-
jects certain to be. on the proposed
system are being approved.
The apportionment to be made
to the various states for the fiscal
year which began July I is ap-

s3sf, 100000 Increase in the Cost
of Clothing.

1t udS USSu COuSSl SdIlsSly SSt1-
mated by experts in the clothing
industry that this extraordinary in
crease in the tariff on wool will
add 1851, 100000 to the clothing
bill of the country. It will make
every suit of clothes and every
overcoat cost about $500 more to
the consumer; and the increased
cost on woolen clothes for women
and children will be proportionate.
And to what purpose will this
great burden be added to the peo-
pie?
The government will get ap-
proximately s74,250,00 in duty.
The American wool growers will
set about s41, 100000 in protection.
And the rest Will come out of the
pockets-and out Of the mouths
Of the people.
A further proof Of the Unequal
ity and injustice of this provision
Ia proof that it is not intelligent
ly nor fairly drawn-is in the fact
that under this bill wool is wool
regardless of the grade. The cheap
er grades, which now cost IL
cents a pound in foreign markets,
and the finer grades that cost so
cents a. pound, are treated as one
commodity, and each would be
increased 33 cents a pound.
The great volume of this $751;
coo. 900 would have to come out
Of the pockets of the masses who
are already under the economic
necessity of buying the cheap
er grades of woolens.
Only a Few Will Benefit
Even the farmer who raises wool
on a small scale would find that
the increased cost of clothing for
his own family would more than
Offset any Increase he would get in
the selling price of his wool. No
one in America could possibly ben
eft by this tariff but the compara-
lively few WOOL growers on Il large
scale-and even they would get
comparatively small amount Of pro-
lection out of this vast increase in
clothing cost. to the people.
Nobody in America. except pos
sibly a few large wool growers
whose self interest would be serv-
ed at the expense of the great mass
Of people. could want this high
tariff on wool. 1t serves no great
purpose for the benefit Of the peo-
pie, and it would add to the eco
nomic burdens of millions who cam
not sustain it.
it is a matter OF inclaculable inn
portance that the voters of this
country wake up at once and bring
such pressure to bear upon the
senate before this bill is passed
that they will realize how unfair
and iniquitous this high wool tar
if really is
