PHILOSOPHY
By Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: ''When
lady smiles at you, your chances are
good; If she laughs at you-good
night! Lots of fellows buy on
time and pay the same way"
None but the brave win boost
on two pair.
Hope springs eternal in the old
maids breast.
Even the bald-headed barber has
favOrite hair comic to recommend.
Political conditions are not as
bad as Trey once were-they are
worse.
Some fellows are built on the
bungalow style-nothing to the
upstairs.
Dreaming is all right if you get
out and make your dreams come
true.
There is a sucker born every
minute. But they catch 'em lots
faster than that.
People who live in glass houses
should be good friends of the
Hartshorn people.
Success may not be measured
by the dollar mark-but that is the
way the world sizes it up.
Bootleggers along the Canadian
border have a favorite song. 1t
is Comm Thru With Rye"
There are men in the world who
know how important they are-but
someway other folks are hard to
convince.
A friend in need may be all o.
k, but when too many of them get
that way it raises heck with your
bank balance.
A western restaurant has this
sign posted in conspicuous place;
Don't get impatient; we have good
walters. Are you?"
A fellow named Ruff paid a $50
fine for assault and battery on
the person of John Ratz. Another
case of too much "Rough on
Rats"
A little booze and a powerful car,
And a road that's smooth and
straight;
A floral tribute, "Gates Ajar"
The sections working late.
Thanksgiving's past, the Yuletide
comes,
And then the New Year morn;
If you would capture goodly
sums,
You better blow your horn.
The advertiser cops the scads,
OF that there is no doubt,
Just let this paper print your
ads
Then watch your goods go out!
An Indiana mans wife over
heard him telling a friend about
what dandy MAUD" was. She
asked him about it and she was
told that Maud was horse. A
few evenings later he came home
and his better half asked him
where he learned to talk the
horse language. why" he
asked. Because Maud called
you up twice today" was her
rejoinder And he is still explain
ing.

Reduce taxation as much as can
be safely done with equal fairness
to the rich and to the poor.
Enact law prohibiting the issuing
of tax exempt securities.
Pass the soldier bonus law, basing
the pay upon the number of months
spent in the army or navy, with an
increase for foreign service.
If the next congress does these
three things it win justify its
existence. If it does less it will be
a disappointment to vast number
of the people who elected it.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 8, 1923
They're At 1t Again.

Congress is on the job again, and
if we are to judge by advance press
reports the session will resemble a
batch of scrambled eggs.
In theory, senators and congress-
men are presumed to be imbued with
lofty ideals and a consuming desire
to labor for the welfare of the coun-
try as a whole, with fair and equal
justice to all.
But that is a difficult thing to do
in these days of practical politics.
In actual practice, a majority are
elected or domir tied by certain in
terests, either political or otherwise,
and these interests strenuously insist
upon the enactment of legislation
favorable to them.
There are so many divergent in
terests represented by Hobbies in
Washington the average senator or
congressman is often at loss which
way to turn. He is pulled and
wheadled and threatened and stuffed
with conflicting arguments until in
HIS desperation HS ltcio INT bSAithS
them all to go to Tophet.
Even the people of his home state
or district are never united. He
represents all Of the people of his
district, yet it is manifestly inn
possible for him to please them all.
If he favors one groupe he offends
another, and if he holds aloof and
does nothing he is damned by them
all
Congress will have many important
but vexations questions to handle at
this session, but we are confident
that the ultimate welfare of the
great mass of the people will be kept
principally in mind.
Undoubtedly there are some who
are but puppets in the hands of their
masters, but the average senator and
congressman is not of this stripe.
1t is our privilege to criticise our
public servants, but we should first
be informed ourselves before we
pass judgement upon others.
For what would you do if you
were in congress and found the
national situation so hopelessly
scrambled you didn't know what to
do?-F. w. B.

The Mellon proposal for tax
reduction has been hailed by some of
the great newspapers as a master
stroke. 1t is a master stroke-for
men Of great wealth. Mr. Mellon
himself is supposed to be in that
class, or at least on the fringe.
Men whose incomes are greater
than they can comfortably spend
pay a heavy surtax. Mr.. Mellon
would wipe out a great proportion
Of that tax This would relieve the
man of wealth, but would do nothing
for the poor man.
Then he would have a scaling
down of all general taxes, and this
would affect the rich, the comfortab-
~ fixed, and poor with evident fair
ness.
The poor man, having no income
upon which to pay surtax, would
receive a slight benefit through the
reduction in general have his general
taxes reduced and at the same time
have large slice of his surtax
Topped off. A very fine ar
rangement for the multi-millionaire
bbut not so good for the man who
feeds his family by the sweat of his
brow.
Reject the Mellon scheme and in
sist upon tax reduction that contains
the elements of common fairness.

The playing on both sides was mediocre
 asg night, Princeton jumped into an early lead and was never headed,
 Both Princeton and their metfonolts tan rivals were slow in getting start, ed, The Rlue and White took the ag- gFessiVe at once and for the first few minutes Of play showed up stronger than the champions, As in every game this season. the alr-tlght guarding or the Tigers prevented effective shoot ing, however. and Columbia could not gel near the basket. Both teams in- iulged in long shots from near the center of the floor with rather poor success.
 Sam strnm was the high scorer of the evening. ehalking up twelve points. or more than half Of the total Columbia score. He tossed the two field goals. Mel Dickinson. making his second appearance on the court since 1921. threw five goals from difficult angles on the floor. He was the only man who had much suceess with long distance chance shots. Art Loeb was high scorer for Princeton, making II points. four being on field goals.

PONIES SEND GONZALES
 TO FASTER COMPANY
Cuban Star Figures in Deal Witt Toronto Club-About S7,500
 Is Involved.

Springfield. Mass, Jan. 10.-Ramon Gonzales. Cuban star who has been fixture in the Ponies iniield for four seasons, was last night sold by the Springfield club to the Toronto In- ternational league club. Springfield will receive cash and players for the Cuban. The price paid by the Inter- national leaguers was not announced. It is understood to be about $7,500. Most of this will be paid through ths transfer of players.
 The identity of these players is not known. It has been agreed between the clubs that Toronto will give Springfield a list of men whom they have on their roster and that the Ponies will select the players wanted from this list. This selection will be made after investigation of the ability of the men offered. The amount of cash the local club will receive de- bends on the number of players it takes from Toronto. Player value in this deal will probably be based on the International league waiver price of $1,500.
 Manager Patsy Donovan, who has several trade irons in the fire, was we'll pleased last night with the sale. He believes that Toronto has mater ial enough to plug up the gaps left by the going of Nagle and Gonzales and that if they have not this material the cash the Ponies will receive will allow the purchase of players needed.
