TT JUST HAD TO BE"

1t is almost irritating to find so often that athletics lead to a train Of
 thought quite apart from athletics
 which so entices that the temptation
 to comment upon it is irresistible.
 There would seem to be no especial
 reason for discussing the victory at
 football of a team which had been
 expected to win, unless one were in
 spired to do so by the wish to ''gloat," :" and certainly 'gloating" has no place
 in serious comment.
 But there is reason for mentioning
 the victory by the Yale football team
 over Harvard last Saturday in the rain and the mud of the Harvard field. There is no reason to believe that the Yale men were any more courageous than were the Harvard players. Ger tainly Yale showed no superior forma- tions. And surely the Harvard players were fully as strong physically as the Yale men.
 But the point worthy Of uoto is the fact that what was admitted generally to be the better team" did win in spite Of the fact that it had a chance to display none of the speed, and cleverness which made it the bet ter team. When it faced Harvard Saturday the Yale men had to aban- don all previously laid plans and fall back upon straight football and lines of play that were practically untried. There was need for more than the ordinary determination to win. liar yard had that determination as al- ways, Yaic always possesses it. But this year, knowing that practically all followers of the game counted upon their winning, the Yale players had to develop more than Win to Win. The themselves realized that people gem | orally would not understand tho rain had taken from them their greatest weapons, speed, ingenuity Of play All the general public would know, if they lost, was that they had lost There could be no generally accepted ex- cuses. Results-they would speak for | themselves. They felt, too, that they l carried the peoples confidence. Their own. personal determination to win l was reinforced by the knowledge that | they must win in order to justify that | There had never come to i their inaginations the picture of themselves walking off the field d beaten lot Of players. Their imagina- tions had pictured victory always.
 Emile couc would say that, as the | is stronger than the will, Yale's will to win. her spirit to win. became an irresistible power when moro powerful than Harvard's will to win. Yale's brain picture Of herself as winning was carried onto that field. There's quite d bit of truth in some Of Coue's possibly too-comprehensise and ambitious theory. That bit Of truth is it is pretty hard to beat man who just can not imagine himself beaten.

 At any rate it would appear that q plan to save large amount of money for the taxpayers, bringing a lower cost of living would not be dependent for its success on the abandonment of cost the country third of the amount saved by such taN-reduction plan.

LOWER TAXES AND BONUS

There are many people. thoughtful
 people. who believe that the fact that the Secretary of Treasury has shown an excellent way to save about s323,- 0oo,O0o for the people ot the country by tax reduction plan. does not make 1t impossible to provide for a bonus to former service men as well Why, they ask, should saving Of s323,Oo0,0Oo prevent spending about s9o, 0,oO0 yearly and yet leave the taxpayers some s2S3, 900. 900 better of than they are today? Why. in other words. should Secretary Mellon insist that this s323.000.O00 which he says would be saved the taxpayers by his plan, can not be saved just the same, even though 0,oOo. .ooO a year is pro- vided to pay bonus?
 IL is quite natural Tor the ordinary man to feel that the more money saved by a tax reduction plan, the bet fer able the country would be to pay the bonus. Mir Mellon declares, in ef- feet, that the man whose earned in- come is s2,000 q year and who now has to pay $40 tax, would save si7.5o were the Mellon plan to be adopted. II is interesting to note that Roger Babson. with whose deductions and economic statements we are faunliar, figures that the man with tho s2.o0o income would save not only the s17.5G upon which Mr. Mellon figures. but would save, also. 2 per cent Of his income. because the tax of the man. ufacturer having been reduced also, such manufacturers prices would be lowered So that the ultimate consumer would benefit ? per cent on his in- come. and would benefit. in addition. some per cent in living costs pro- xided the bonus were not adopted.
 making the total saving 10 the tax payer not s1T5o. Mr. MeUon's figures. but si5T.56.
 We may follow the arguments and deductions easily until we come to this extra per cent saving. It is the adop- ton Of Mr. Melons plan for a re- duction in taxes that would bring the saving primarily. That is a matter Of dollars and cents. the result being found not by speculation or estimate. but rather simple multiplication. We may see the reduction Of the 2 per cent additional, even, suggested by Mir. Babson. because it does seem possible that when the tax Of the manufacturer is lowered. as it would be under the Mellon plan. the uits- mate consumer would be benefited certain percentage. two per cent or les or more. But why any part Of 1 the extra per cent. figured by Mr Bahson. would not come unless the | bonus were abandoned. since f would i be the result Of lowered cost of living | resulting from tax reduction. # is @neuIt to see.
