Boxing Commissioner
Sanctions Dempsey's
Bout With Wills

TRENTON, N. j., April TO-
State Boxing, Commissioner
Newton A. X. Bugbee declared
today that he would sanction
the proposed heavyweight cham
pionship bout between Jack
Dempsey and Harry Wills, the
negro challenger, in New Jersey.
Commissioner Bugbee refuses
to draw the "color line" and
says that so long as Wills con-
ducts himself with decency and
abides by the laws that he could
see no reason why he should be
prevented from participating in
a title contest with the cham
pion.

err on early in the summer so that
ne can train down gradually If a
worthy challenger wants shot at
mis- crown.
There will be little difference
IN weights when Leonard and
Walker meet. The former will do
about 142 pounds and Walker will
not be more than three pounds
heavier. Both are good boxers
l and hard hitters, so the scrap
should be one of the big cards of
the outdoor season.
Gibson is setting the match be-
tween his other champion, Gene
Tunney, and Georges. Carpenter,
and expects to announce the time
and place within the next ten
days. Then he will go after Walker
for Leonard.
The general impression is that
Walker will insist on meeting
Leonard in New Jersey, but Glib
son, of course, prefers fifteen
rounds to decision in New York.
That would give Leonard bet
ter chance to grab the weller
weight title. In fact he would
have to stop Walker to win it in
Jersey.
II the match goes to Jersey there
isn't much doubt that Tex Rick
ard will land it for Boyle's thirty
acres. Rickard, who returns to the
city in a day or two, may also be
bidder for Carpenter and Tunney,
although he had planned another
show for Jersey City early in
June. ]

have a new park there now and
folks say it is better by far than
the old one. Well, that's good.
We can't get 'em too good. After

was when we came to town with
the Georgetown varsity football

have always thought that, had

and Alec Anderson, Bill Dudack
and Johnny McQuade escaped the
injuries that took them from the
lineup, Georgetown would have
won that first of five games
played with the Yellow Jackets.
However, Georgetown lost that
day and for four years afterward.
Last year they did not meet Tech,
more's the pity. We hope that
the .Hilltoppers will eventually
succeed in bringing the Yellow
Jackets to Washington for con-
test at the Griffith Stadium. Wow,
that would be.a game of football!
Atlanta doesn't look like a
southern city. The Five Points
would remind you of several SINH
lar functions in New York.
Peachtree street, especially down
town, looks like Olive street in
st. Louis, Washington street in
Boston or Chestnut street in
Philadelphia. Marietta street has
many peers around the American
League circuit. Indeed, Atlanta
looks like a big league town.

indianapolis, June s. Declaring
"there is something about the great
ness of this exalted position that
admonishes me against wanting to
undertake the execution of its great
and solemn duties," United States
Senator Samuel NJ. RalstOn, today
urged the Indiana Democratic state
convention not to consider him a
candidate for the Presidency.
Great as the honor is, however,
l would not speak truthfully to you
should | refrain from saying that
have never aspired to the presidency
of this country" Senator Ralston
said. "If there be those who doubt
my sincerity in what I am saying
let me lay additional emphasis on
my state of mind by declaring that
this convention will please me most
by allowing the delegates from In
diana to the New York convention
to go uninstructed.
"The Senator said the Democratic
party should choose as its candidate
for the presidency "a man who is
human through and through, who
knows America and who wants this
country to do it's part in establish
ing 'peace-continuous peace-among
the nations of the earth"
Senator Ralston declared that no
government can be called honest that
fails to uphold the equality of right
of individual citizens, or permit cit
liens generally, to be taxed for the
benefit Of a favored few.

Defense of Acts of the
State Administration

Steele, n. d., June 5.-GovernOr
r. A. Nestos, continuing his speak
ing campaign here last night, sum-
married. many of the questions he
believed ought to be driven home to
the voters of the state in the pres
ent campaign. The Governor en-
phaszed declaration that the In
dependent administration had car
ried out pledge to reduce the al
legged unfair burden of taxation upon
the farmers Of the state, and had
not only~cut taxes but had caused u
net decrease in the valuation of
farm property for taxation of $232,
S99,O99 in 1928 as compared with
1921.
The Governor, in brief address,
summarized many things he said
were facts of vital interest to the
taxpayer. He said in part:
"The legislature of 1923 appropri-
ated 1921 ,963.33 less than the legs-
lature of 1921.
"The state board of equalization
in 1928 levied $75l ,925.26 less than
the year before.
Every county in the state, except
Hettinger, pays less this year for
the support of the state government,
state institutions, and state aid, than
last year.
"Of each dollar paid in taxes, the
average portion used for all state
expenditures is only 1886 cents, and
for county and local purposes 1864
cents.
"Under the League. laws man
who invested $4,000 in a city house
and lot which he could rent at a
high rate per month, was assessed
only $4,000, while the farmer who
invested $4,000 in farm on which
he could not even make running ex-
penses was assessed the full amount
of $4,000; and that a man who
might be drawing from SIS to 81 a
day in wages or u good salary in a
city could hold as much as from
5000 to $l,40O of property exempt
and not subject to the payment of
cent of taxes, while the farmer
who owned land worth that much,
was assessed it's full value even
though he did not earn cent on
his, land

"The farm lands of North Dakota
were assessed in 1923 $270,3O1 ,917
