Ohio State Has
Leading Scorer
In Big Ten Ranks
BY NEA Service

Columbus, o., Feb. 26.-Ohio
State University's basketball team IS
hopelessly out of the running in the
Western Conference race; in fact, it
will do we'll to keep from finishing
in the cellar berth. But the Buck
eyes, in Miner, can at least lay claim
to possessing the leading individual
scorer inthe Big Ten.
At this writing, Miner is setting
the pace with over 80 points to his
credit, and bids fair to hold his ex-
allied position for the remainder of
the season. He is not only an un-
canny shot, but is especially adept
at caging the ball on threet hrows.
1t is also interesting to note that
Miner is showing his heels to such
scintillaters as Miller Of Michigan
and Funk of Iowa despite the fact
that both of these players are per-
forming for winning quintets. The
fact that Miner is topping the field
in scoring, though working under
the handicap of being with con-
sistent loser, amply attests to his
ability on the courts. No doubt were
he with championship contender
he would be even further out in
front.

100 Per Cent Increase
in Tires Predicted
By Mccormick
Illinois Senator Hands Report
10 Senate Committee from
Chamber of Commerce

Washington, Feb. "a. - Increases
in automobile tire prices amount
ing to 100 per cent within two
years, were predicted by Senator
Mccormick, Republican,, of Illinois,
in submitting to the Senate a state
ment prepared by the Department
of Commerce, relating to British
colonial rubber restriction laws.
The report emphasizes the fact
that an economic price for rubber
has a great influence upon the de-
velopments OF highway transporta-
ton.
According to the official report
presented by Senator Mccormick,
reliable information which Is now
available warrants the belief that
rubber prices will be increased
1t is stated that by Nov. l, 1923,
the available stocks of rubber will
have been reduced to six months
supply, whereas egiht months Is
taken by the Stevenson committee,
comprised of British government
officials, plantation owners and
rubber growers, as necessary
supply to do business.
The Department of Commerce
emphasizes the fact that this is an
assumption of maximum releases
under the Stevenson plan. 1t is
significant to know that there is no
allowance for increased demand to
meet an estimate of 100000 addi-
tional automobiles in 1923. 1t is
claimed that in this field rubber is
a necessity and if the cost is not
prohibitive the volume required
will be greatly increased. Official
figures indicate that production Of
rubber will remain at 60 per cent
standard during the period Nov. I,
1922, to May 1, 1923. 1t is expected
that there will be a shortage of ap-
proximately 1888 tons by May /.
The government report stresses
the fact that it was the announced
purpose of the British policy to re-
store the market prices so that
plantations in the colonies could
produce rubber at a profit and to
restrict production to absorb what
they thought was an excessive sur
plus of crude rubber stocks.
1t is said that committee OF
American rubber products manu-
facturers have been active in gov
eminent circles for several days
in an effort to obtain government
support to their plan for encourag-
ing rubber growing in the Philip
pines.

WHY We MUST HAVE

MADISON, WIS, Aug. Am

Senator La Toilette gives this clear
Illustration why public utility is re-
gulated by the state
Investment by private parties for
the purpose Of building a railroad or
any other public utility is very DIFF
ferent thing from investment by
private parties in private busi-
ness enterprise, such as busying real
estate, building a business block,
manufacturing plant or other private
venture.
"1n the case of investment In pri-
vate enterprise the investor takes all
the chances Of loss. His right to
speculative profits. however large, is
recognized and protected by law.
But in the case of the honest and
prudent investor in a public enter
prise, such as the building of rail-
road or other public utility. the In
vestor Is accorded just and reason
able protection by the courts against
the loss of the principal or the loss
of reasonable profits on his invest
ment.
THE courts will alwarys sustain the
railroad or other public utility in
charging the people rates sufficiently
high to protect such an investment
against loss and insure to the investor
a reasonable profit on his capital
Senator La Toilette insists that the
interstate commerce commission COM
ply with the railroad valuation act,
which provides for ascertainlng the
original cost of each railroad. On
this information. rates can be based.
The railroad owners insist that the
value of their property should be fixed
by the commission at the estimated
cost of reproducing such properties
at war inflated prices.
Original cost" says Senator La
Toilette, will show the amount in
vested by the railroad owners and lay
the foundation for squeezing the
water out of their false and fraudu-
lent capitlization."

POISON GAS BOMBS
HURLED AT MINERS

WASHINGTON Aug. 4-Poison gas
bombs are hurled at the coal miners
and brigades of mud singers are be-
ing rounded up to turn public opinion
toward the coal owners.
The latest attack is the filing with
the United States coal commission of
two reports against the recent Ala
bama coal strike One report was
written by a committee Of citizens"
and the other by the then governor,
Thomas d. Kilby. The latter said this
strike was illegal and immoral" {"
Kilby was selected by both sides TO
adjust the strike, and his sense of
morality can be judged by the fact
that he ruled that the coal owners did
not have to reinstate any of the strik-
ers. He is the first governor in this
Country who recognized a blacklist
while acting as mediator.
After Kilby depicts these miners as
assassins he describes their excel
lent living conditions" Like one big
fanny, he says, the Alabama coal
owners know each worker by name
and most of their families.
But when it is necessary to poison
the public against the United Mine
Workers, these Alabama miners are
charged with most atrocious crimes.
