BILL BRENNAN
AND MARTIN TO
MEET JULY 9TH
Has Flynn Giuen Up
Hopes of Den1p-
sey Clash?
By FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus
New York. June LIT looks as
though Leo Flynn had given up
hopes Of having Bill Brennan. his
heavyweight meal ticket, 20 against
Jack Dempsey. At any rate he has
signed up for his fighter, whom
he has kept in cotton wool for
some months. to meet Bob Martin
of the y. E. F, at Ashland. Ky, on
July 4. However, Bill isn't taking
many chances since the bout will
be a no decision affair.
As for Martin who has been
nursed carefully along the past six
months, he will have a big chance
to skip into the limelight. decision
or no decision. If he could stow
Brennan away he would immedi-
ateIy step into fame as an oppon-
ent for Dempsey and would make
himself d popular fighter even
we're he TO hold an edge over the
big fellow.

just about do the business.
"Well, this is SIMPLE" you might
imagine they would say-these fel-
lows in control of congress, "we'l
just clap that excess profits tax right
on again. now that we find we need it
after ALL"
But this would be very bad guess.
No such idea occurs to the politicians
in charge. They were put there to
take the taxes off wealth and thew pro,
pose to be faithful to their pledges.
Congressman, the president and the
secretary of the treasury are all very
busy just now trying to find some way
of raising money for the veterans
WITHOUT taxing wealth or the prof
iteer. Some want taxes on gasoline
and autos, tobacco, theater tickets,
etc. Reed Smoot, the senate's boss on
financial matters, and Mr.. Mellon,
multi-millionaire secretary of the
treasury, want "sales tax to make
the whole public bear the burden. The
president wavered about some, not
knowing what to support, althoug gh he
finally came out in favor of sales tax.
The sales tax plan is an opening
wedge It would be used in the future
to take tax burdens off the rich and
put them on the poor.
60 THE "soldier bonus" will be
~ useful to Mr.. Morgan and Mr..
~ Mellon and their friends. It will
help to establish the fright principle"
in taxation.
But here comes this blamed "farm
bloc' again, and at this writing it's
members are getting ready to make
fight to restore the excess profits tax
and to kill all these fancy new taxes
that are being proposed. They say
they will not stand for Mr.. MELONS
plan. They say there's $600,O00,OO to
be had from excess profits taxes and
that it is wrong to obstruct business
with these burdensome consumption
taxes when this is the case.
Now if you think the farm bloc is
wrong about this and that the prof
iteers ought not to pay the soldiers
adjusted compensation, you should
write and tell Mr.. Smoot and Mr..
Longworth that you are with them.
But if, on the other hand, you are will
ing that the profteers should paw,
maybe it would be good idea to write
to Senator Ladd or Senator La Fol
4ette or Congressman Sinclair or some
of the others of the "farm bloc'' and
tell them to stay with the fight.

papers you have noticed that the
boys who served their country
are going to be remembered.
Congress is getting ready to>pass what
nearly everybody calls a "bonus" act.
1t is not very fair to the boys who
packed a gun and wallowed in the mud
and picked cooties off their under
clothes and got shot up in the trenches
or fought through the flu in miserable
barracks in this country all for the
thirty dollars a month-to call it that.
A bonus is something extra-a gift
or donation = something that hasn't
been earned. He was poor soldier
who didn't earn more than thirty dol
lars a month and the kind of board
and room the boys got in the army.
There is another name for the thing
that puts it on a better basis. It is
adjusted compensation" which is to
say that the country admits the boys
were not paid enough and that they
gave up lot and set themselves back
in life several years and that they
ought to be given something Of what
is coming to them so that they can
make a payment on home or finish
their education or get a start in bust
ness. y.
It is fine thing to pay the boys back
in part for the service they rendered
to the country at the country's call.
They did not make the war, but they
fought it. They carried the load, the
big end of it, at least.
XTOU will have noticed that the Re-
publican caucus, which is run
ming congress, decided a few
weeks ago to get up a bill to pay the
"bonus." The committee in the house
Of representatives at Washington that
fixes up the tax legislation is working
out the terms of the bill.
This may surprise you if you re-
member what happened when the new.
revenue bill was before congress not
so very long ago. You saw in the
papers then that some people were de-
manding that congress pass pay bill
for the veterans of the war, but that
the president said mo" and the secre-
tary of the treasury said mo" They
said it wasn't the proper time to do
this. They said other legislation the
general tax or revenue bill, for in
stance must be gotten out Of the way
first. Harding went before congress
and made a speech about it. It was
considered a notable speech and a
great effort. He said that he recog-
nized the great service the boys had
done, but that they could wait while.
The National leader., 1922-03-06

:
You should remember. It was to
take the brakes off business" In
other words, it was to give the poor
profteers chance. The administra-
ton, just then, was working at the job
of getting the excess profits tax re-
pealed and the surtax on big incomes
cut down. The poor rich men were
having to pay too much of the coun-
try's expenses. The boys with the
million-a-year incomes must be reliev-
ed Of some of the load, so that the
country's business could 60 on prop
erly and so that there would be money
to invest. The excess profits tax,
which takes for the government a part
Of all trust makes above 8 per cent,
must be Topped off. Otherwise the
profiteers would stop profteering, and
where would the country be then?
COME pretty good economists,
~ some excellent sharks with fig
~ ures and authorities on business,
went before congress and told them
that the excess profits tax didn't inter-
fere with business at all and that it
didn't make prices higher because it
didn't affect the expense Of those who
were making only a fair profit. But
congress cut it off, anyway.
There were some who said ''let us
keep this tax on the profteers while
longer SO that we can pay the boys
their back pay or bonus" The presi-
dent and the secretary Of the treasury
didn't say that They said to the
veterans who were asking for the
back pay, "wait while" and they said
to congress, take the tax off the prof
iteers and: cut down the taxes on the
big incomes so that our rich men can
have a few pennies left to build new
factories and railroads with
And the tax was taken off the prof
iteers. Also, the tax on big incomes
was reduced; but not as much as the
administration wanted it reduced.
The EARN bloc" got in the way and
made the administration and Wall
street very angry. That little group
Of western senators who have made
so much trouble for the big fellows
were in on this.
But now that the excess profits tax
is out Of the way the majority in con-
gress has taken up the case of the vet
Grams. It may be because they want
ed to do it, and then it may not. It
may be, on the other hand, because
they have felt fire under them.
A FTER they decided to provide for

ATHLETIC FIELD TO
BE CHOSEN BY THOSE
WHO SUBSCRIBE FUND

Subscribers, themselves. will de-
eide where the proposed athletic
field will be located. Jack Cam
eron, promoter of the project, ex-
planned last night. He suggested
several sites which might be OBJ
tanned through negotiations.
Among them were a part of Wash
ington park, which might be Sc
cured from the board of education;
the location at First street and
Mountain road and the field at
Fifth street and West Atlantic
avenue. As the field will be used
by the two major baseball clubs,
the Grays and the new club soon
to be organized, as a rule only on
Sundays, this use will but seldom
conflict with other athletic events
which might be scheduled on the
field by schools and other athletic
organizations.
MY part OF the movement is to
see il enough pledges can be Sc
cured to insure the success of the
new field" MIR. Cameron stated
last night. and when the project
is completed in this respect, it
will be up to the subscribers to
manage the details" Mr.. Cam
eron stated that the subscriptions
to date were encouraging.
