What of This
Kind of a Tax?

COLVE the taxing problem? It's simple.
~ writes a reader. He would do II
this way:
Il would put a volume Of business
tax on everyone" he writes. IF a mer-
chant with $4,000 worth of stock did
$4,000 worth of business last year, he
reports on the volume Of business done
and pays his tax on it. If another mer-
chant with $4,000 worth of stock on
hand had bad year and did only $4,000
worth of business, he does not pay taxes
on all this unturned merchandise that
has been on his shelves, but only on the
$4,000 worth of business done.
Such tax, fairly apportioned accord
ing to the business done, would be paid
by all industry, by logging and lumber
ing companies, by utilities, by realty men
and brokers. by everybody. And nobody
would pay more than fair percentage
of what he actually took in the preceding
year.

POOR FIGHTS IN
 STORE FOR FANS
New York Suffers During Winter Months For Lack
 Of Action

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-The first half of the indoor fight season in New York was the poorest since the busi- ness was reinstated and the next half begins the same way, all champions still being ring shy and elusive.
 Not a champion defended his title in the state of New York from the close of the outdoor season to the end of the year. Thus far there is no indication that any of them will do so in the remaining fireside months. The few so-called cham pionship bouts involved only the i'm ltation titles. such as Ithe junior lightweight trophy whic his an infini- tesimai fraction of nothing whatever. and the American lightweight desig- nation, which Is slightly less than that,
 The season of 1924 at the Garden begins with a fight between sammy Mandell of Rockford, H.. the new featherweight. one of the boxing dis coveries of the year, and Jack Bern stein. who is the most dismal spec-
 acle this side of the Dakota hills. Bernstein was equally to blame with Ing of some 10000 customers a few weeks ago, when Bernstein was afraid to fight and Dundee was too feeble.
 Interest in the Mandell-Bernstein fight is all complimentary to the western boy. Mandell cane to the front with a whoop and holler a few weeks ago, but was stalled when he encountered Sid Terriss, the former national amateur champion, who fought him to draw. Terriss dropped on his tummy and out of the picture. however, when Eddie wag- ner knocked him out with two body lunches last week.

GIBBON OUT FOR "BULL OF PAMPAS'

INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 7.-rommy Gibbons is just the cowboy to ride herd on the wild bull of the pampas and will be pleased to hire out for that purpose on short notice. The plan of Tex Rickard. in New York. to match the man who went 15 rounds against Jack Dempsey, with
 the Bovine Argentine who didn't last two rounds. elicited wild shrieks of eagerness from Eddie Kane. manager of Gibbons.
 My little playmate. MT. Gibbons, learned a lot about wild bulls out at Shelby. Mont. last summer" MT. Kane gushed. "we used to spend our evenings at the Rodeo show down
 between the Buttes and of all the stupid mugs I ever saw, the bull is the stupidest. The wilder they are
 the stupider they are. If you saw
 the way this Wild Bull of the Pam pas fought Dempsey. Hopping around with his guard let down and his chin Tapping loose. you will understand how stupid the bull IS when 1t comes to a scrap. If this wild bull ever Tapped his chin at my man, Tommy Gibbons, we'd take just one lick at
 his whiskers to convert him into 40 pounds of round steak. 46 gross of bone vest buttons. one gallon of glue and 8 hair mattress, to say nothing
 of a swell pair of riding boots from his hide. I asked Santa Claus to get him for us.'

THIRTY ONE MEN ON CLUBS SQUAD

In ad- dition to the active athletes there will be the coaching staff, consisting Of Oscar Dugey Killifers chief lieu tenant, and Ivory Jack Doyle and Bobby Wallace, Cub scouts. Grover Alexander will probably have charge of the young pitchers as he has had in the past.

1 AMERICANS WILL HAVE HARD TIME
Olympic Distance Team To Have Stiff Copeti-
 ton

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.--As Willie Ritola, the thin Finn. flaps his way over the water to Finland to prepare for his part In the 1s24 Olympic games as . member of tho Finnish delegation, American sportsmen in- terested in keeping the Stars and Stripes in front of the athletic field, are beginning to realize how great Is the opposition the American dis tance runners will have to meet.
 Finland will have four great run ners in the Olympic games at Co., lombers, at all distances from one mile to the marathon route. Three or them, strange to relate, were de- veloped in the United States--Hannes Kohlemainen, Ritola and kyronen. The other Is Paavo Nurmi, the mid dle e-distance man who broke the worlds record for one mile at Stock holm last summer, covering the dis tance in 4:102 2-5. Nurmi and kohle- mainen are veterans of past Olympics but Ritola will be running in the big games for the first time.
 The longer runs are the events in which the United States for more than a year has been weakest ana not much improvement has developed in that time, either. Ritola was looked upon as a recruit for the American team and a point-wfnner, too. until he decided last week to go back home for good and to run as Finn in the 1924 Olympics.

BENTLEY AND BILL RYAN SIGNED UP

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Jack Bentley and Bill Ryan. two of the New York Giants pitchers. walked into the business plant of the club Monday with their hats in their hands and signed their contracts for the season of 1924 without a word of debate. Pitchers employed by the National league champions have reason to re- gard themselves as fortunate If they receive the same pay they got last year, as the pitching staff was main iy responsible for the loss of the world series.
 Bentley was so fat he had to use A periscope to see whether his shoes were shined when he landed in the Giants training camp last spring. His failure to report in good physi- cal condition almost cost the Giants the pennant. Now Bentley is in great shape. He has been hunting and tramping the woods of Virginia since the world series
