University of Southern California
win play its big game Of the 1925
football season against the Uni
vcrsi.v of Washington here, accord
ing to a tentative schedule outlined
today by Gwvm Wilson, graduate
manager at the Trojan institution.
Wilson, who has returned from n
tour of the east in which he open-
ed athletic relations with several
big schools, promised an intersec-
tional clash for Los Angeles next
season. He refused TO tell with
whom he was angling for the con
test.
The Trojan team will play one
of its hardest conference schedules
of recent years, Notwithstanding
the fact that neither California or
Stanford will be on the list. Games
with Oregon Aggies, Oregon and
Montana are to be PLAYED here, and
[. S. C. will oppose Idaho IN either
Portland or Moscow.
The Pacific coast conference con-
tests will be decided definitely at
the December IL meeting.
First pracnre sessions over the
New Culver City speedway started
today for the drivers who will com
pete in the inaugural ESQ mile cham
pionship A. A. A. race Sunday,

There will be no racing at Ascot

out because of the Thanksgiving
road race.
Three high school football games
and Il contest between the P&sade-
ma Athletic club eleven and the Cal
ifornia Aggies team comprised South
ern California S gridiron offerings
today.
The scholastic games are in the
play-off for the southland champ
ionship. Van Nuys travels to San
ia Maria, Glendale plays host to Col
ton, and Orange High, looming as 4
strong contender for honors, goes

Johnny Adams of San Bernardo
no, hitherto regarded as one of the
most rugged lightweights on the

Carter in the first round of their
four -r0undcr at the

night.
Carter swung :, looping right to
Adams jaw after the San Bernar-
dino youngster had started away to
an early lead on steady infighting.
The blow came near the end of the
round and took Johnny complete
ly off his feet. He landed on tn,
back of his head and although the
period ended before he was counted
out, Adams was still listening to the
brides when the second round was
called. RacehorSe Roberts won
over Mike Dempsey by taking big

Kennedy Settles Fight Of
Rival Contractors

A scrap between two city con-
tractors over a juicy contract for
the construction Of the Lake Youngz
81 10000 water works tunnel re-
suited Thursday in both losing out
completely.
Tho contract for the work had
been let TO tho Jain & Bressi Co.
for si.2io.Te5. but their certified
check was few hundred dollars
under tho legal requirement. Goctz
& Brennan put in n bid $4,000
higher. Tho jain & Brcssi bid
was accepted. Goetz q Brennan
claimed Il was disqualified because
the check accompanying tho bid did
not meet legal requirements
An Injunction was obtained TO
forbid the board OF public works
awarding the contract TO jain 4
Bressi. The entire matter was re-
serred to Kennedy who ruled 4, IL
legal.
The board OF works had failed
10 obtain authorization OF the con-
tract by city council ordinance and
no appropriation was provided to
pay for II. Kennedy ruled the en-
tire project must be wiped out and
tho whole process COMO thru again
in n legal manner.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

At a meeting of the Fort Lee Bor.
ough Council this week an incident
connected with police wrangle un
covered an interesting situation Dur.
ing the fusilade of shots Councilman
Cook undertook to criticise the police
and Chief Aiken defended them. Mr.
Cook said disturbance took place
right near his house and Mr.. Aiken
asked him why he didn't break it up
and Mr.. Cook replied in substance
that he wasn't paid to do that kind
of work, and suggested that all pub.
lie officials should be paid. Where
upon Mayor White told him he ad-
mired his nerve.
In other words, the politicians are
facing crisis. The borough form of
government is no longer altruistic
Serving the public for nothing is out
of date, and a councilman is entitled
to pay as any other servant of the
people. That is exactly the argument
that "The Palisadian" has always
used, in effect. That is, that "the
laborer is worthy of his hire" Good
government can never be obtained
any other way, because the respon-
sibility can then be placed where it
belongs. There is real food for
thought in this Fort Lee incident.

go to school? Do you know also that
many families are moving out of the
section for the same reason? In the
end school built in Hudson Heights
will not cost the taxpayers one red
cent. The building of the Day avenue
school will result in building up the
property now vacant, from which the
borough will collect additional taxes.
A school will actually reduce taxes
in the long run. This is practical
every day economics that anyone can
understand. 1t proves that your state
ment with reference to wasting the
taxpayers money is incorrect and mis-
leading.
You have also stated that children
do not need Fairgrounds because they
go to school to study and not to play.
America is the greatest athletic ma
tion in the world, and also the best
educated. We wonder if Fairgrounds
for children do not have something
to do with their education after ALL
We are pleased to offer you the
privileges of the floor for as long as you
wish, at our next meeting. We hope
to have your favorable reply at your
early convenience.
Very truly yours,

COST OF GOVERNMENT
HAS BECOME EXCESSIVE

Emphasizing the imperative need
for retrenchment and reform in the
administration of state, county and
municipal affairs, so strongly advo-
Gated by the Jersey Observer, is the
report just made public by Sedley
Phinney, secretary of the New Jer-
sey State League of Municipalities
The total expenditures for govern
ment in the state last year were $247,-
1854 4,013,07. Six years ago the total
was S113,420,223.5 an increase of
1888 3,943, 1886, more than double the
cost in six years, an increase of 11S
per cent. This is far in excess of
what the normal total should be, max
ing liberal allowance for the higher
cost of living, labor and materials.
The era of extravaganza which be-
gan in the war period has continued.
The burden of the taxpayers and rent
payers is increasing through the reck-
lessness which has marked the admin
istration of state, county and munic-
ipal government The per capita cost
of government, which was $3.50 six
years ago, has gone up to $73.40, and
to keep down the tax rate the valua-
tions of property have been boosted.
The net valuation of taxable property
six years ago was S2,SSS, ,177, ,7O0.S6
The total last year had been raised
to $4.O70,S41, ,4174S.
The state and school costs show
the greatest increases and point to
the need of curtailment, for much is
being expended that is needlessly
spent. The amount spent on schools
last year was more than double the
sum expended six years ago.
The state is carrying on a number
of costly improvements. A bridge is
being constructed over the Delaware
to link Camden and Philadelphia; a
tunnel is being built under the Hud-
son to connect Jersey City and New
York, and an extensive road building
program is being followed, but even
with these considered extravaganza
has marked expenditures in other
directions that have made the present
cost of state government almost thrice
what it was six years ago. The cost
Of government is excessive and
should be cut down.-Jersey Observer.

DoDGING THE TAX MAN

Fifty-five billion dollars Of wealth
escapes the tax collectors in America.
That's enough to make $4,000 mil
lionaires. So reports National In
dustrial Conference Board after an
extensive checkup. This board is the
most scientific and thorough statistic
gathering outfit. Its figures are used
widely in settling labor-capital dis
putes.
The board is a conservative organi-
cation. And its figures are conserva-
tie, as usual.
1t doesn't take into account the bill
lions Of dollars that evade taxation by
the help of crafty tax-dodging lawyers
and bookkeepers-experts in finding
loopholes.
Out of this total of $4,000 billion dol
lars that escapes taxes, $4,000 mil
lions represent Liberty Bonds and
other tax-exempt securities issued by
the national, state and local govern
ment.
Rich and poor have the privilege of
participating in this branch of tax
tAcllpliOu i6 JOhSl 10 luetl bhSoS
tax-free securities gradually drift into
the hands of banks and rich individu-
ais and corporations and stay there.
The boards other figures should be
considered by every reader, to clear
up lot of confused ideas.
For instance. among the tax-exempt
property are these:
One thousand millions in "founda-
tions."
One thousand five hundred millions
in college. hospital, charitable and
church endowments.
The rest consists mainly of tax-ex-
empt "real property and build
ings owned by government, churches,
cemeteries, institutions, etc.
Bringing it down to a nutshell:
Tax-exempt wealth is sixth of our
national wealth and equal roughly to
a third Of all property assessed under
the general property tax.
AS civilization gets older, the ten
dency is for taxes to be shifted in
creasingly directly and indirectly to
the poor and to people of moderate
means. The rich progressively es-
cape. They have the money to find
or create avenues Of escape.

ALABAMA CANDIDATES RECORD

Reference has already been made
in these columns to the really notable
record of John w. Davis in upholding
the political rights of Negroes. This
was demonstrated very effectively
when, as Solicitor General of the
United States in 1915, he attacked in
the Supreme Court the validity of the
grandfather clause" of the Oklahoma
Constitution and was instrumental in
having the court decide that it was
discriminatory and unconstitutional.
Wherever such unjust legislation ap-
peared Mr.. Davis opposed it, and al
most invariably his sane and we'll
reasoned views prevailed, just as they
did in his successful pleas for the
Adamson and the Child Labor acts,
wherein he showed himself to be one
of the ablest champions American
labor has ever had.
To The New York World, which
has been recounting some of the more
notable cases in which Mr.. Davis has
upheld the political rights Of the
Negro and the justice of labor's
claims to reasonable hours of employ
ment, we are indebted for the follow
ing details of two of his notable vic
tories for the colored race:
Again, Davis argued and won be-
fore the court the case which held the
Alabama Peonage law unconstitution-
a! as violating the spirit of the Thir-
teenth amendment and the Federal
Anti-Peonage act. "If the Constitu-
tion did not stand in the path of the
Alabama law" insisted Davis, ''then
reason and public safety should The
fiction put forward in it's defense !.
has neither fact nor logic to support
it,"
1t was Davis, again, who argued
and won a case against election Off
Gals in Oklahoma, charging them
with a Federal crime when they re-
fused to count Negro ballots in certain
districts. Their offense, he held, vio-
lated section of the Act of Congress
of May 81, 1S7O-known as the Ku
Klux Klan act. Argued Davis:
"The statute (of 1870 was designed
tc prevent any act whereby the COM
plete exercise of the privilege of vot-
ing might be prevented or impeded
The right of suffrage secured
by the Constitution consists not mere
ly of the right to cast ballot, but
likewise of the right to have that bal
lot counted"
The more the record of John w.
Davis is studied the more remarkable
it appears, and he is always on the
side of the weak and the oppressed as
against the oppressor. There never
was a more ridiculous performance
than to call such champion of hui
man rights the guardian of privilege
and special interests. On his record
the recent labor conference at Allan
tic City should have indorsed Mr..
Davis. That it preferred the futile
