Fans Take Advantage
of Carnage Co. Wire
Service on Big Game

There was good assemblage of
football fans at the Office Of J. A.
Carnage & Co. Saturday afternoon
to take advantage of the special wire
service on the great Harvard-Y
grid classic at the Stadium. The
fans were able to sit within the snug
walls of the Carnage Co. Office and
follow the game play by play from
the ickoff to the final whistle at the
end of the last half. AS fast as the
wire report came in it was an
nounced and also each movement of
the ball and the opposing blue and
red elevens was chalked graphically
on the blackboard.
The crowd present to get the re-
turns hot off the wire was a good
natured one with the supporters of
Yale and the Harvard partisans
about evenly divided. The final
scores of the Boston College Vermont
contest and the Army Navy game
We're also received before the H-Y
returns were all in. The fans appre-
ciated the courtesy of the ]. A. Gam

at the conclusion of the afternoons
entertainments: 1--WE are all dry,
while those who sat in the Stadium
are probably soaked by the rain and

Expect to Recruit
Co. F to Full Strength
by Present Drive

The recruiting drive for new men,
bers of Company Il, 1O3rd Inf. is pro-
crossing very successfully and at the
present time the company numbers
IS and that is very good considering
the fact that the maximum allot-
ment according to the population of
Augusta is only 81. 1t is hoped be-
fore the drive is finished that the
company will have reached the max
imum mark allowed and indications
are that the other II recruits will be
easily found.
The display in the north window
of Beane & Cross Co. Is attracting
considerable attention and favorable
comment. The cup which was won
by the company at Camp Devens last
year for the best set-up and best
trained company in the regiment is
among the articles of interest being
exhibited. and the splendid picture
of the company taken at camp this
past summer has also been of inter-
est to many.
Company II offers military training
similar to that provided by many of
the leading universities of the coun-
try and is valuable training for any
young man, and not only does the
company offer mental and physical
training. but it also serves as a fine
club.
The local company is fortunate in
having the use of the city hall for
their drilling and three spacious
rooms in the basement of the build
ing for their offices, club room and
equipment. Sooner or later it is hop
ed and favored by some OF the most
prominent citizens in Augusta, that
an armory will be erected such as
has been recently dedicated in Lew
iston. Meanwhile the mebers of
Company r are working hard to
make their organization a credit to
the city and worthy of such a build

Probable Tax Cut
But Modification
of Sec. Melons Plan

Washington, Nov. 24.-The fate Of
Secretary Melons plan for tax re-
duction awaits the arrival next week
of party leaders and the moulding
of party policy. Downward revision
of taxes for the smaller taxpayer has
been assured by Mr.. Melons action.
Whether the legislation that
energies from the battle on this issue
in incoming Congress resembles
the leaders. At present the odds are
heavily against the Treasury pro-
gram.
Senators Lodge and Smoot still
have hopes, though slender. of
coalition with enough Democrats to
enact approximately the Mellon plan,
but the radical Progressive and the
rank and file of the Democrats are
determined to have bigger slices
taken off the bill of the small tax
payer and more added to the bill of
the big taxpayer. They have an
ample majority of votes to make
their ideas laws, and they argue its
popularity with the voters at large
would exceed that of the Mellon pro-
gram.
The country's clamor for the Mel
Ion plan is so formidable that not a
member of Congress can be found
now who would obstruct tax revision.
1t does not necessarily follow that
the country would be displeased if
the Mellon plan is replaced by one
exempting the little fellow altogether
and soaking the big fellow harder,
according to the reasoning of most
members of Congress.
Not member of Congress can be
found who will seriously contend that
the bonus bill will not pass as soon
as the wrangling over organization
of the Senate and House is suffi-
GENTLY composed to permit, the leg
islative wheels to turn. Accordingly,
views on tax revision are predicted
on how much more will be left in
the Treasury after the bonus raiders
get through. AS the figures are cited
now by the bonus propagandists
thee will still be more than $780,
100000, if MI. Melons computation
is correct.
If President Coolidge would come
out for the Mellon plan and use the
Presidential whip on his own party
to go forward with it. the chances of
success would be greatly enhanced.
