Second Game of FordS-- --Sa-
cred Heart Series at South
Amboy

A hot time is expected in South
Amboy tomorrow afternoon when
Steve Anthony's Fords baseball team
test their strength against Arthur

South Amboy, on the neighboring
city diamond.

the mound for the Sacred Heart nine,
while Lagoda will do the work be-

diamond with but one thought, to
even the series, which now stands
one game to the credit of the South

ATE JUNIOR LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP WILL BATTLE HERE
CRIMSON And White
ELEVEN COPS OPENER
AT BUCCE:LEUCH PARK

Coach Stauffer's Perth Amboy
High School football representatives
opened the season yesterday after
noon by scoring a sensational 60 VIC
tory over the pigskin performers of
the New Brunswick High School on
the Bucceleuch Park grounds.
The only score of the contest, a
spectacular one for an opener, was
made in the second quarter. Cap
tain Don" Martin carried the ball
across the line for the six points, af-
ter two runs. one for sixty yards
by the captain, and another by
Buddy" Larson for about twenty
yards. These two men also made
several other lengthy runs during
the four periods of play.
For the first quarter of yesterdays
| engagement, the Amboys lined up
as follows:
! Left end, Bohnsack.
| Left guard, Salacki.
| Left tackle, Fennessy.
| Center, Jackson.
Right guard, Spivack.
Right Tackle Stern.
Right End, McWilliam.
| Quarterback, Larson.
Left halfback. Polkowitz.
| Fullback, Martin.
| Right halfback, Seaman.
Three substitutions were made by
the visitors, Katz for Spivak, Daitz
| for Jacobson. Westerfleld for Bohn-
sack in the first half, and Bohnsack
for McWilliam in the second half.
| Perth Amboy was outweighed
about fifteen pounds to man in
yesterdays contest. the pluck of the
visitors, however, more than made
up for the weight deficiency. The
defensive work of Bohnsack was brill
liant, and the excellent and daring
tackles made by Stern and Fennessy,
also played a prominent part in the
opening victory.
The visitors worked their signals
to perfection in yesterdays contest.
to the satisfaction of Coach Stauffer
and Rufus Allen. who worked hard
the past several weeks in preparing
| the boys for the season. The State
street representatives should make
a real bid for East Jersey gridiron
honors, If their showing OF yesterday
Is to count for anything.

EDIS0N-FORD PLAN
UNFAIR TO FARMER
Third Article Shows How Credit
Test Would Fail Him in
49, His Need. e

The unfairness to the farmer OF
the Edlson-Ford commodity money"
scheme, although ostensibly aimed to
improve his economic position, is dis.
cussed In the present article, which
is the third in series prepared by the
American Bankers Association, re-
viewing the exposure of the weak
nesses of the plan as presented by
William T. Foster. Director of the
Pollack Foundation for Economic Re-
search.
Briefly, the plan. sponsored by Thom.
as Edison and Henry Ford, would pro-
vide for Government warehousing of
basic commodities, against which cur
rency would be loaned, during storage,
to the producer without interest, up to
half the average value of the prod
ucts for the previous twenty-five
years. On the other half of the value
the producer would receive certifi-
Gates which he could sell or use for
bank loans.
Restricted Credit
- In that provision allowing for Gov
ernment loans only up to half the
average value for twenty-five years
Mr.. Foster finds particular weakness
in the scheme. He points out that
prices have risen so high since 1896
that the farmer could borrow on most
products much less than half the pres.
ent value of the products-much less.
in fact, than he could borrow directly
from the banks. Loans on the other
half the value, which would be on
virtually second mortgage basis, he
says, would not be desirable for the
banks.
THE plan is not fair even TO farm
ers; 1t involves unjust discrimina-
tion," Mr.. Foster says. "The Edison
plan fixes the loan values of all prod
ucts absolutely. uniformly and arbi-
trarily. 1t ignores the relative pros.
poets Of different commodity markets.
Only by the merest chance would such
a method give fair loan valuation.
Fifty per cent OF the average price
for the previous twenty-five years
would be too high for some commodi-
ties and too low for most OF them.
With such details the Edison plan is
not concerned.
- Banks FaIrer to Farmers
THE general practice OF the banks
rs not only fairer to farmers. but 1t is
spunder business. There is no justi-
flcAtion for basing the loan value OF
! anything upon average prices in past
years. Sound banking practice looks
to ths,future.a A hank--for the pro-
lection Of It's .depositors. II for no
other reason-must consider above
everything the prospects OF getting
Its money back. And farmers pros
n poets of repaying loan from the sale
of his product depend entirely on fu.
'ature prices. not Mt all on past prices.
Inst years runs do not count in this
! years game"
g. As TO the claim that the Edison
plan would curb speculation in farm
#. products, Mr.. Foster says:
"There is nothing in the Edison
plan that would tend TO abolish spec.
ulation. Even after the farmer had
stored his products and obtained a
loan from the Government, he would
still be free to sell his products out
right TO spectators. The farmer
would have all the inducements TO sell
that he has today. and spectators
Phillips County herald., 1923-07-19
-,
would have all the inducements to


would have all the inducements to
buy.
Clearly, then,. the Edison plan
would not provide money that is
sornder than gold money; 1t would
NOT provide money less subject to
fluctuaton In value; 1t would not en-.
able farmers to obtain larger loans
than they can now obtain; it would
not divorce agriculture from the
banking system; and it would not
eliminate speculation in farm prod.
ucts." 81 afE7 i
