| M P 0 R I A N I
by United Press Leased wire


NEW YORK, Oct. Sectional
championships may hang on three
big games featuring the football
card Offered for national arpusement
next Saturday.
Illinois and Iowa meet at Urbana
in the most important game of the
western conference since the Miehi-
gan-Illinois game. 1t will be game
of more than sectional interest be-
cause the whole country will be
watching to see if Iowa is able to
stop the great star, Red'' Grange.
In the east, where championships
can't be decided as officially as
they can in the organized middle
west, two undefeated and united
teams meet at Philadelphia in the
Lafayette-P Pennsylvania game. La
fayette has been through harder
test this year and is the favorite.
Syracuse plays another important
eastern game against Pittsburgh at
Syracuse. Pittsburgh has been beat
en- but Pittsburgh teams are al
ways dangerous.
The Pacific coast will be interest
ed in both games as there is a fine
chance to have an eastern cham
pionship team play against repre-
sentative California team in the an
nual post season classic. Pennsyl-
vania has a game scheduled with
California and Syracuse is to play
Southern California.
The coast championship may be
cleared Saturday also as California
and Southern California meet in the
first of their "big three games.

at New Haven and Notre Dame plays

MEETING CALLED
TO SIFT CHARGES
7 ON BOTH SIDES
Many Players on Both
Teams Are Involved
In Challenges
by United Press Leased wire

Dill SolS, StclldT ". .. ". IOOC-
ball player, was paid $500 for
helping coach the local prep
team last year have been for
warded to Berkeley, where
conference over the players elig
ibility is in session, local Stan
ford alumni announced today.
Principal D. X. Hammond of
the high school admitted that
Cole received the money but de-
clared that it was for his work
in promoting athletic activities
in general and not for coaching
football, it was reported.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30.--Ef-
forts to settle the questions of cligi-
bility of football players and avert
aNbreak a in relations between the
University of Southern California
and the University of California
will be made today.
President Won Kleinsmid of the
University of Southern California
or his personal representative will
meet with representatives of the
University of California and of
Stanford University in an attempt
to iron out the difficulties.
Early today the situation looked
serious. California plainly was
aroused. No less SO was Southern
California. And Stanford seem
ed sympathetic Ntoward the Golden
Bear. There seemed even "a pos
sibility that both California and
Stamford might refuse further,
games with the southerncrs.
The trouble started yesterday
when California protested the eligi-
bility of Bill Cole, star U. S. c.
tackle, to play Saturday, on the
ground that he is alleged to have
been coach at Santa Ana high
school.
Word came back imme ediately
from Los Angeles that U. S. G.
would protest Bill Niswander, Cali
fornia guard, on the ground that he
played professional football at Sell
ma, Cal, last year.
Many Protests Fly
Then Stanford expressed tioubts'
as to the eligibility of Drury, Mar
tin and Westcott to play on the U.
S. C. freshman team.
And next came word from Los
Angeles that U. S. c. had prepared
protests against the eligibility of
Harvey, Bancroft, Thomas and
Maui of the California freshman
squad. &a 1853
Whereupon Dean IIildebrand of
California asked L. S. G. authori-
ties to investigate the status of
Captain John Hawkins" of the U.
S. c. squad. No charges have been
filed against him, however.
With the "Agenda" thus arrang-
ed, as the diplomats would say, to-
day S conference was called to order
to attempt to iron out the Difficult
ties.
The tangle has served to heighten
interest in the California U. 5. c.
game to be played at Berkeley Sat
urday. Sb
For T. S. C. it is the. big con-
test of the year. For California it
ranks second only to the Stanford
game. From football standpoint /
it may be Il harder fight and bet
ter game than the so-called "big |
with the Cardinals.

CONFINEMENT ONE
OF BIGGEST ASSETS
OF OWNING A HOME
Other Stock Arguments
True But Satisfaction of
Ownership a Factor.

The customary arguments that the
ownership of home inculcates thrift.
stabilizes the family and stimulates
citizenship, should be supplemented by
further statement that a distinct adj
vantage results to the family who owns
its home by an improvement in health
conditions. Let us see how this con-
clusion can be supported by a COM
parison in detail of the owned home
with the rented one.
The single family house. which con-
stitutes by far the greatest number of
owned dwellings, stands on lot of
its own and in general. for that rea-
son. provides greater light and ven
tilation for its rooms than does any
form of multiple dwelling. 1t also
furnishes, almost invariably. open
space in front and rear, and often on
the sides. which spaces are available
for play yard for the children and. to
some extent at least, open-air exercise
for the grown-ups.
A street of such houses provides
as well. green grass and trees and a
cheerful outlook from within the dwell
ing, all of which has its health stimu-
lus upon those who occupy the prem
ises, be they young or old.
With respect to the upkeep OF the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-09

house and its cleanliness within, a
house owned by the family which oc-
cupies it almost invariably shows a
marked contrast with rented houses in
the same block. The housewife, know
ing that the property is her own, is
much more willing to spend labor in
keeping ii in thoroughly clean condi-
ton than if such energy is expended
on premises likely to be vacated for
another occupant. As result of the
family interest, both interior and ex-
terror repair is maintained to an ex-
tent not usual in rented premises.
While it is sometimes true that Ieaky
roofs, damp walls, broken cutters and
defective plumbing are found in houses
in which the owner lives, the interest
which he takes in his property usually
results in the curing of these defects
promptly on their occurrence. In re-
spect to exterior repairs, there is gen.
orally so marked a contrast in this re-
gard between the owned and the rent
ed houses in neighborhood that even
the casual observer can readily deter
mine in which group to classify any
particular premises.
All the conditions referred to above
have more or less marked effect up
on the health of the occupants of a
dwelling and in addition the well-kept
owned house produces a reaction of
contentment upon those who dwell
therein.
Contentment is a tender plant which
does not thrive in rented flats sub
ject TO the exigencies of janitor serv-
ice. 1t takes deep root and expands
only in the fertile soil of ownership
and undisputed control.

TAX TENDENCIES
ON FARM ACREAGE
ABSORBING INCOME
Richard T. Ely Declares
Farmer May Become
Mere Tenant of State.

If present tax tendencies continue.
the day is not far distant when the
entire annual net returns Of United
States farm land will be swallowed
up in tax payments, states Richard II.
Ely, director of the Institute for Re
search in Land Economics at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, writing in the
National Real Estate Journal. DIR.
Ely claims that il the present serious
relationship between taxes and farm
life continues, the farmers val be-
come practically tenants of the state
because the farmers land will be yir-
tuaIly confiscated by the state if the
present tax movement continues un-
checked. Taxes on farm lands were
once only nominal overhead charge
on farming operations. but at the pres
ent rate of steady and rapid increase.
they threaten TO absorb farm land val
ues.
IL the problem is viewed from a
fair and equitable viewpoint it must
be conceded that farm land is taxed
at far higher and more exorbitant
rate than is city land. il taxes were
based upon the amount of expense
which the property occasions the gov
eminent. farm land should be taxed in
proportion to the small amount of
money required for the upkeep of
country roads and schools. IL is mani
testify unfair to tax farm land accord
ing 20 the standards Of taxation pre-
vsiling in the cities. For in towns,
aside from the improvements repre-
scented by lights. gas, fire protection
aud countless other coaveniences. every
time an additional building is erected
adjacent TO any particular structure.
the value OF this particular structure
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-09

is enhanced proportionately. whereas
farms adjacent to one another only
serve to decrease the value Of each
holding.
But DR.. Ely states that taxes are
rapidly overtaking actual land values.
and he claims that in isolated cases
taxes already for more than equal the
rental value of the land. The rapid
increase Of taxation in proportion to
land values is shown by official figures
compiled by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics for Ohio and Kansas
for the forty-year period between 1880
and 1920. The farmers land in Ohio
during this forty years period in
creased in value per acre from S4J.9T
TO Sl13.l1. while the taxes increased
in the last eight years from 6J cents
TO SLID. In Kansas it required forty
years for the land 10 increase from
S10.9S TO 5000, it only took the last
eight years to increase the taxes from
IL cents 10 46 cents per acre. The
percentage of increase in eight years
is III in Ohio and Ell in Kansas.
DIR. Ely also claims that in the ia
nous Chester county of Pennsylvania.
the data collected in 1920 by field
aSVhtS VI lht 'DuIcau ol ASDtulluIdi
Economies shows that taxes were then
absorbing 66 per cent Of the net rent
of all farms rented for cash.
DIR. Ely calls attention to the fact
that taxes show no tendency TO fall.
but on the contrary show a decided
tendency 10 increase. whereas land
values as compared to their greatest
height about 1920 have fallen over 20
per cent. according to estimates Of the
United States Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics.

PRICE ALSO FIGURES

As much thought is required for
the proper furnishing of modest
home as is required for the furnish
ing of a larger and more luxuriant
dwelling. The man or woman furnish
in ga small home has many restr;c-
tons to consider. and many problems
to solve which never enter into the
calculations of the millionaire home
builder. To begin with. the problem
of expense must be considered. and the
family Of modest income is forced to
devote much thought as to ways and
means Of planning a beautiful home

coed certain definite price limit

must also be considered before any
purchases are made.
Has Many Angles.
This problem has many angles for
the home-furnisher must not only
consider the wearing and lasting quail
titles of his furnishings, but he must
also bear in mind that he must choose
things which are not hard TO take
care Of and keep clean, because the
family of modest income can not leave
this to the servants to worry about,
And not the least important problem
to be met is that of space to be filled,
for the owner of a small home must
constantly bear in mind that he has
certain restrictions of space and that if
he does not remember these restric-
tons, he is likely to select large and
bulky furniture which will make his
house look crowded and stuffy-any-
thing other than the cool. airy, home
like placesa house should be.
1t is possible to solve all these prob
lens by the simple expedient of choos-
ing simple furniture with simple lines.
For the family of modest income, fancy
and greatly decorated furniture is alb
solutely undesirable because in the
first place. it is impossible to buy
elaborate furniture at a mod
arate price. When elaborate furniture
S cheap it looks cheap, but simple
furniture may be inexpensive. but at
he same time possess graceful lines
If true and enduring beauty.
Not So Economical.
In the second place. elaborate and
,ver-decorated furniture is hard to
lean, and will not give nearly as good
wear nor stand as much hard service
Is will the more simple and more ap-
type of furniture. And in
he third place. the home maker will
ind that it is much easier to furnish
| house with simple furniture than it
$ to struggle along trying to make
mail house not seem crowded when

pieces of over-stuffed and over-decor-
tied furniture. Bedroom. living
