FICHT JUDGES NOT IMMUNE
 TO HUMAN REALITY; HENCE
 APPARENT RANK DECISIONS

NEW YORK, March 26.-The bru- nette who stops thrown balls with his features at county fairs leads a life of ease and refinement in comparison with that of the misguided individuals who essay to sit in judgment on prize fight in this particular community. Right or wrong in their verdicts there is certain to be a tinhorn ele- ment in every local audience that will raise a squawk over a few lost dol lars and to this number is inevitably added the righteous blast of those whose judment is swayed by personal feelings.
 At first blush this last element may seem negligible. It isn't. As matter of certified fact, it assays about 9S per cent, the remaining per cent not being sufficiently interested to take sides.
 Virtually no one is immune from this tendency, which for the most part is strictly an unconscious reaction to the elemental features of any man-to- man proposition, such as boxing. You simply pick your favorite, either from personal or financial motives, and pro- ceed to pull for him from the opening bell.
 All Pick Favorites
 Even the most disinterested spec tator will fall subconsciously into this attitude. He may know neither of the principals from Adams off OK or he may be a newspaper critic who comes to the bout with an open mind secure in the belief that he doesn't care a hoot in Harlem which man wins. Five minutes later he will be made rabidly antagCnistic by some action on the part of one of the principals displeas- ing to his taste At the very least he will become mildly partisan just for the sake of getting a kick out of the proceedings.
 The judges themselves being mere ly human, are not above this tempta- tion. With no idea of flouting sports manship their subconscious minds will express a preference for one man or the other, and they will be inclined to attach greater importance to that mans punches than to those of his rival Or, if they realize that the per

ITALIAN "COUE" TO BREAK
 YORK OF SUFFERING

LONDON, March 26-The Duke of York is determined to be cured of the affliction of stammering before he takes his bride in April.
 Signor Lorio, an Italian "Coue" who specializes in stammering, has taken the Duke in hand and is teach ing him to sing in Italian.
 Vocalization, it is claimed, is an antidote to stammering, and the Duke is said to be making progress both with his stammering and his sing ing.

HELP FROM MIR. TESS

Says Senator Simeon D. Fcss, Republican, of Ohio: q regard the Chicago election as no more significant than that in Detroit" Perhaps the Detroit election is more sig nifieant, then, than the Democrats have en- phasized. It may be that MT. Fess is right and that the Detroit election is no less sig nificant than the Chicago election. All the better! Both have Democratic mayors both are the important cities in their respective states which have been almost invariably Republican. The Democrats are indebted to Mr. Fess for calling their attention to Detroit.
 An election is significant or not according to the way the people regard it. If one may judge by press comment throughout the na- tion, regardless of party, the Chicago cleo tion is significant. The Democratic journals and the independent journals are quite sure that it indicates a widespread leaning to- wards the Democrats. The Republican jour- nals, by their haste to issue denas even before the statement was made, show that they also regard the result as significant of something they don't want to happen. Now along comes MT. Fess Republican of nth degree, and shows similar concern by his emphatic denial. The Democrats thought the municipal elections significant, and now they are sure of it.

"ESCAPED" TAXES

In the statewide educational program ad- vocated by the governor and supported by educators and the public generally, there will, of course, be needed funds additional to revenues already in hand. Governor Brandon has many times expressed sym pathy for the average taxpayer and has placed himself publicly on record as opposed to tax increases. Alabama's chief execu- tive is known as man of the people, as "plain Bill Brandon whom his meanest neighbor may approach and address without fear of giving or receiving offense. There fore, the people are looking to Governor Brandon for an administration of their ar fairs such as they themselves approve and would follow if they were in his place. Foremost among the desires of the average citizen is that there be no tax rate advance unless that be necessary as the last resort to achieve some indispensable public benefit.
 Accordingly, although Governor Brandon has suggested a constitutional amendment permitting the people to vote millage tax for school purposes, the people of Alabama feel sure that in the meantime the governor is casting about to see whether there is some source of school revenue which does not involve such increase in the tax rate. The governor has promised tax relief, insofar as compatible with the normal obligations of the state and the people believe that he means just that. In this connection there is one source of additional revenue which has often been mentioned and which many who have given the matter thoughtful considera- tion believe would bring in a great deal of money annually.
 This source of money is "escaped' taxes. Many declare that there is in Alabama a great deal of wealth which is escaping par tially or in toto its proper share of the tax burden imposed by the laws goverI:.lg val nations and assessments If there is such wealth that is enjoying the benefits of Ala bamas opportunities and the protection of Alabama laws without paying for it in pro portion, proper Investigation would reveal it. If any such wealth is found, it should be made to pay taxes in full, according to statutory stipulltions. Those who have the tax machineryr of the state in charge have it within the scope of their abilit.J and their authority to search out such laggard wealth, and, whatever is found, to compel it to as- sume it's proper share of the public burden. There are some wEo go SO far as to say that the income thus resulting would be greater than we have present use for.
 The Age Herald is confident that Gov ernor Brandon is considering all these mat ters and will make sure that the wealthy of the state arc complying or will comply in full with the tax laws.
