Jess Is Peevish in Training,
Which Edgren Says Is
a Good Sign.
LEAN MEN DANGEROUS
Caesar Qualified as a Pick
er of Pugs in Sizing
Up Cassius.
BY ROBERT EDGREN


Jess Willard says that he'll be fit
to meet Floyd johnson on May II
in spite of all reports that he has
found training an impossible grind.
Willard selected the training
ground at Excelsior Springs, Mo-,
TO get away from the crowd, not to
have a private place to find whether
or not he can get into fighting trim
again.
At Havana Willard had to train at
a hotel near the harbor entrance in
a ring built in the courtyard. Crowds
came to see him every day, pack
ing seat sections around the ring and
even the hotel balconies. To go out
for his roadwork he had TO walk or
ride through two or three miles OF
town before reaching a country road.
He didn't like it, but he needed the
money badly and Tom Jones was TAX
ing in fifty cents head from the
spectators.
At Toledo Willard trained before
the crowds again, in a canvas-en-
closed arena. The weather was hot
and sticky and he was always I'M
comfortable and irritated by the
ceaseless flood Of questions and re-
marks from the spectators. Willard
was whipped.
In his heart, when it was long
over, Willard blamed his training
conditions and determined that he'd
never make daily boxing show of his
training again. OF course, Dempsey
did the same thing, and it is Gus
tomary for a big boxer to train be-
fore crowds.
Trained in the Mountains.
But Willard has come around to
Jim Jeffries' way Of thinking. When
Jeffries was champion he hated the
annoyance of training with crowds
looking on. 1t interfered with con-
centrating on his work. Usually he
trained in a locked gymnasium. his
work viewed only by few friends
and the newspaper men.
Jeffries always sa. he could get
into better shape by going away to
the mountains and training without
letting anyone know what be was
doing. willard felt the same way
about It when he chose training
CdiuD uOWH IN tuc CoutuNettsr
Another item was the warmer
weather in Missouri. which allowed
him q good chance for needed road
work, when he would have been
snowbound in New York. Warmer
weather, too, allowed him to take off
weight more easily. Taking off
weight is one of the things Willard
needed most.
II wouldn't be surprising IL the
big fellow has found training down to
condition a hard job. He expected to
find II hard.
Willard isn't likely. to give up this
time. He has everything to work for
and nothing to lose. When he was
champion 1t was different. Then he
worried over the chance Of losing his
title. and called off matches on the
slightest pretext. He agreed to meet
Dempsey, In a short, no-decision bout
in Pennsylvania, but went to Denver
on trip and there changed his
mind.
Feared Jess Would Run Out.
There was no telling which way
willard would jump in those days.
Matched with Dempsey again in
four-round bout at Chicago, he went
to @Chi" from his Kansas home to go
through with the fight-which was
for a war charity like the Pennsyl.
vania affair. except that in Penn
sylvania Willard was to be paid

this ode was the result Of the enthusiasm
which she personally felt.
The club has now a membership of 900
Democratic women all over the county,

branches in every town in the county. At

Cheap Clothes AS Rich Pay
On High.Priced Suits.

Discussion and condemnation Of the Re-
publican tariff on wool continues in quarters
where 1t was hardly to be expected. This
duty of 81 cents clean pound on wool
has been attacked by the Carded Wooden
Manufacturers Association. which believes
in protection" and criticised by the In
dianapolis News. an independent news
paper with a large number of Republican
readers.
The Carded Wooden Manufacturers As
ISOLATION contends that the tariff on raw
wool is fiat charge made without regard
TO variations in price or quality. On wool
valued at rs cents a pound the tariff
compared with the price equals 124 per
cent The effect Of this is that the buyer
of suit of clothes selling for $25 pays for
the cheaper wool it contains just as big a
tax as the purchaser of suit costing SIPS
and containing the same weight of wool
of higher quality.
To make plain the injustice as well as
the economic fallacy of any such tariff,
the Carded Wooden Manufacturers Asso-
citation applies the Republican principle
and practice to taxation of real estate. If
fiat tax Of $500 were imposed on each
parcel of real estate, regardless of its
value, the owner OF house and lot worth
$4,000 would be paying at the rate of
rs per cent while his neighbor with a
property worth $4,000 would be taxed
at the rate of | per cent.
The Indianapolis News interprets this
Republican method of taxation in the
light of its reaction on the average con-
sumner, making the comment that moth
ing like that would be tolerated in direc,
taxation either of property or incomes, but
the scheme actually is in existence as far
as indirect taxation is concerned"
The result is that the poorer and mid
die classes in the population are being
compelled to pay larger percentage of
their incomes for wool goods of an inferior
sort than are purchasers fortunate enough
to be able to buy clothing of a superior
quality" says the News.
And this was the tariff the Republicans
told the country il needed to safeguard
American standards of living" from the
product of European paupers and poems -

One Mellon Proposal Was Offered
By Democrats In 1921.

While Republican leaders are fighting
over Secterary Melons proposal for tax
revision. attention is called to the fact
that when Republican spokesman of
importance proposes something with meri-
torious features, the proposal is found
upon examination to have been adopted
or stolen from Democrats.
With special reference to Secretary Mel
Ions recent letter to the House Ways and
Means Committee, urging that rs per
cent reduction be made on earned incomes
as compared with unearned incomes, the
Democratic National Committee reminds
the public thai an amendment for this
same purpose was proposed in the Senate
by Senator Harris, of Georgia. when the
Revenue Bill was under consideration.
The amendment came up for discussion
on October "a. 1921; was debated most
of the day and defeated by yea and nay
vote of 81 to SO. Only one Democratic
vote was cast against it.
Senator Harris amendment provided
rate Of per cent on the first $4,000
earned by labor or personal service. and
per cent on such incomes over $4,000.
Senator Penrose, then Chairman of the
Finance Committee, the boss of the Sen
ate and Of the Republican party. said this
Of Sanator Harris amendment:
The question Of earned and unearned
incomes was most exclusively considered
by the committee. by the Senate and by
the Treasury Department and the opinion
was nearly unanimous that any such pro-
vision is impossible Of administration.
Mr.. Mellon was Secretary of the Treas
ury then as he is now and it seems that
he now finds the Democratic amendment
practicable.
So that those with small earned incomes
may remember why they did not get this
reduction Of their taxes two years ago the
following vote against Senator Harris
amendment is given:
