50 os to Predict The movements Of his
opponentss
Answered by
NELS NORGREN,
Coach Of baAket ball, Unlverxity OF
Chicago. Famous for the speed and
AEhtinG determination Of his teams.
= \
Most players form the habit of
executing f1aneuvers on the court
in a certain way. It is for these
habits that a player must watch in
order to check the opponent sue
cessfully. Thus a smart man may
discover that certain opponents, apt
in the art of pivoting, invariably
pivot to the right. This observation
will help him to anticipate the di-
rection of the pivot.
When advancing upon an oppo-
nent who has the ball, a player
should watch his opponents eyes,
just as a boxer watches an adver-
sary's eyes. Unless the opponent is
quite experienced and foxy he will
betray the direction in which he in
tends to pass the ball by his eyes,
and the player has better chance
of blocking the pass.

ALLIES TRY TO

London-New American proposals.
which both the French and the British
hope win break the deadlock In the
Inter-Allied conference on the subject
OF security for the loan to Germany
provided for In the Dawes report, were
made during meeting Of the experts
OF the conference.
The experts will reassemble to re-
consider the proposals which are In
tended to reconcile the British and
American bankers to. the attitude Of
the conference delegates on defaults.
and sanctions, under the Dawes plan.
The experts express the hope that a
complete agreement may be reached
and submitted to the plenary session.
1t is stated that the broad basis Of
the proposed settlement is a combina-
tion of the report which the experts
have already made with the proposal
Of Premier Theunis Of Belgium for
calling In the members of the original
Dawes committee before any action
can be taken either In declaring Ger.
many in default or in applying the
sanctions for such default.

more optimistic than the facts
warrant but that is not an
unusual state Of mind for politi-
clans.
Reverting to the possibility Of
an election by the House Of
Representatives, each state has
an equal vote. Just where the
stategists employed by Mr..
LaFollette may bring about a
deadlock. is evident in the Con-
stitutional requirements that "a
majority Of all the states Is
necessary for a choice. The re-
fusal Of one or two states TO cast
a ballot would naturally prevent
the leading candidate from OBJ
tanning a majority. II is pointed
out that a state might in good
faith be prevented from voting
because Of its representation
being so divided as 10 have no
majority for any candidate. Con-
sidering the political complexion
of the present Congress which
would have the decision. this con-
dition is not impossible. 1t is
conceivable that the states
pledged to LaFollette could in
tentionally refrain from voting
in order to prevent an election or
obtain concessions from the other
states.
Whose political star is in as
cendancy depends upon partisan
views. Several observers hold
the opinion that il LaFollette is
to dominate in the Senate. as
Stunning that the election reaches
that body. his followers would
likely accept Governor Bryan as
against General Dawes. because
Bryan's political views are said TO
be more in harmony with LAFol-
lette's ideas, than the Republican
Vice-Presidential candidate. How
ever, predictions these days de-
pend largely upon partisanship
and must be accepted on such
grounds.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1924-07-31

be a majority of the whole num-
Der of electors appointed. and if
no person have a majority. then
from the two highest on the list
of the Senate shall choose the
Vice-President." a quorum being
two-thirds of all the Senator's
and a majority Of all Senators
electing. The succession Of the
Vice President to the office of
President is clearly fixed by the
Constitution.
The Twelfth Amendment also
says that If the House of Repre-
sentatives shall not choose a
President. whenever the right Of
choice shall devolve on them. be-
fore the fourth of March next
following, then the Vice-President
shall act as President. as in the
case of the death or other con-
stitutional disability Of the Pres
ident."
This would mean. of course,
that he would serve as Chief
Executive for the ensuing four
years. The amendment has been
widely criticized since its adop-
ton in 1904. but has never been
changed. 1t has been argued
that the Twelfth Amendment is
defective in that it requires a
majority of the electoral votes
for a choice by the electoral
colleges. 1t is said that If a
plurality were sufficient there
would be very little danger Of
the electors failing at any time
to make a choice.
Another complaint concerning
the electoral system is aimed at
the general ticket plan. which. it
is claimed, is unjust to the minor
ity voters in the state. The
statement has been made by re-
sponsible authorities that it is
theoretically possible for thir-
teen of the larger states to elect
a candidate to whom the other
thirty-fve should be opposed.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1924-07-31

There are twelve states that al
together have an electoral vote
lacking but three for majority,
but a combination Of these states
for any one candidate is regard
ed as extremely doubtful because
|of sectional differences.
II is likewise argued that the
general ticket system gives a POI
sition Of stragetic Importance to
some Of the so-called doubtful
states. Just how important. may
be illustrated in the case Of Cali
fornia in 1916, when the election
was decided by a plurality for
Wilson Of less than four
thousand. or 0.4 per cent Of the
popular vote of the state. Just
at present New York has become
the pivotal state as the three
leading contestants for the Pre-
sidency are concentrating in
their bid for the electoral vote.
Political history shows that New
York has influenced more cleo
tions than any one state. The
election Of Polk was assured in
1874 by a margin of merely IL
per cent of its popular vote.
Cleveland was given the entire
electoral vote Of New York by a
plurality of about 1000. or OIL
per cent of the popular vote Of
the state. Throwing down Cleve-
land four years later. the New
York electoral votes were given
to Harrison. New York, at its
best, is never a certain state for
any party. Harrison was elected
President on the national ticket
despite the fact that Cleveland
led by about 1000 in the popular
vote.
The reports from various polit-
zeal headquarters issued by cam
paign managers on behalf Of
their respective candidates. claim
the popular and electoral votes
of many states. A comparison Of
their claims show that they are

I'm fixing the state tax levies in 1924
and 1922. 1t was found possible to
eliminate the tax levy for the general
revenue fund.-" the governor said.
This was the first time this had been
done in the history OF the state. Be
cause Of the delay, due to litigation. In
payment OF the iron ore tonnage tax.
there was shortage of funds in 1928.
Thereafter. on account of unusually
large legislation appropriations. the
state tax levy was fixe1 at 3.5 mills.
The tonnage tax has since then been
