BANKERS PROTEST

Aroused by the action of the
Democratic Caucus of the Lower
House in making the Garner rates in
the pending tax measure, a test Of
Democracy, the American Bankers
League, through it's president, Chas.
de B. Claiborne, has issued state
ment calling upon it's membership
and the public to repudiate the act
ions of any party caucus, by de-
handing Of Congress a non-partisan
consideration of the measure.
"We challenge the authority Of
any group of Congressman to de-
throne the judgment or despoil the
wisdom of their colleagues or to rem
der invalid the Constitutional right
of a sovereign to instruct his repre-
sentatives in Congress-, the state
ment read.
s'The Garner rates are no more OF
test of Democracy than they are
test of religion. Such procedure
strikes down free institutions and
makes us government by politi-
clans, instead of "a government by
the people. If this government is to
maintain the confidence of the
American people, Congressman must
consult them on fundamental prin-
ciples and must realize that those
who pay the taxes have an equity in
this legislation that cannot be
abridged by a political caucus"

All Like to Give Advice.

A funny kink in human nature 10
that while men dislike to be told facts,
they love to tell facts to others, writes
Fred Kelly. Nearly everybody is try
ing to dodge facts. We are all seek
ing less reality and more fiction. Story
books always sell better than those
containing plain truths. Indeed, the
only way to be sure of having facts
read is to dress them up in story form
as if they weren't necessarily true. But
while we are trying to avoid hearing
too many facts, /some OF which are
likely to be unpleasant, what fun 1t
is to meet somebody who win listen
to a few of the things we know!
Thus we find here a fortunate situa-
ton. When we have to learn some
thing, it is not difficult to obtain re-
liable information. The man who Is
an authority ON almost any subject is
willing to drop his work and give first
hand knowledge to any one that comes
and asks for it. Indeed there Is no
surer way to gain mans undying
friendship than to go to him seeking
advice. Even though his time is ex-
tremely valuable, the man who knows
and knows that heN knows. viii talk
and pass on his knowledge just as long
as the caller viii listen. In more thaa
twenty-five years experience as re-
porter, have never yet been refused
information by real authority. The
business man who fails to fad out
what he needs 70 know has only him
self to blame. There is always some
body who would gladly tell him. Even
ones competitor will usually answer
almost any reasonable question about
his business.-Nation's Business.

The man who is laughed at today
is revered tomorrow. They laughed
at Bell and his telephone, Edison and
his electric light, and Langley with
his crazy flying machine. The Wright
brothers were derided, the discoverer
of X rays were ridiculed, and the
radio delusion" brought smiles and
amusement.
But not now!
It is as impossible, for us to say,
now, what the road of the future is
to be, as it was impossible for US. to
say, five years ago, what the radio
broadcast of today would be.
An inventor wants to interest CAPT
tai in making a roadway of steel. It
will cost, if built, not thousands, but
several hundreds of thousands Of
dollars per mile. Road builders laugh
the public laughs. We all laugh.
Why pay three hundred thousand
dollars mile for roads when we can
get them for few thousands?
Twenty years ago the idea of pay
ing $4,000 a mile for road was
laughed at!
This steel idea may be all wrong.
It hasn't been tried 1t may be
chimerical in the extreme. We don't
know. But we do know that laugh
ing at it because it's different is no
way to prove it idiotic. Ten years
ago, people laughed at the idea Of
national highways. They don't laugh
any more. More and more people
are coming to think that highways
are as much a part of the Nations
business as waterways, Panama Ca
nal, battleships, an army.
The new idea is always laughed at.
Laughter doesn't prove anything ex-
cept the "stand-pat mind" Of the
Laughter. Maybe steel roads at three
hundred thousand dollars mile are
impractical. But why not bring
something else to bear on the ques-
tion beside laughter? Nobody laughs
at national highways any more; not
even Congress!
The joke of yesterday is the fact
of to-day. Maybe we will yet ride on
national highways of steel! They
laughed at steel rails for locomo-
tives, too. They laughed at transcon-
tinental highways. And how they did
laugh at De Lesseps and his Panama
Canal!

Hartford, Jan. 1s.--Harry Wills, heavyweight contender. faces possi- ble suspension by the Connecticut Athletic board because his manag- CT, Paddy" Mullins, yesterday refus- ed to allow the local boxing commits sion to examine the hand he is said to have injured Monday afternoon on the head of Dummy" Puryear.
 The local commission has requested the state board to take action ''to- ward forcing Wills to come to Hart ford and be examined by local physi- clans and to also take action toward preventing him from appearing in any other ring until he has fought Jack Taylor for the American Legion in the local state armory."
 Mullins and Wills appeared in Hartford yesterday morning long enough to display to the chairman of the local commission, who was wait ing at the railroad station, the fight er's pandaged hand and an "X-ray picture" said to have been taken of that hand.
 Mullins refused to accompany the commission to hospital at which an X-ray picture of Wills bandaged hand was to have been taken.

 Ii was a thrilling performance. the automobile gettinge u flying start and MeGowan skating directly back Of it and within few feet Of the machine so AS to get the full benefit Of the suction The ice Was so slippery that the automobile whirled around 6 couple Of times before stopping but did not overturn.
 Miss Gladys Robinson of Toronto, Can. who is here 10 take part in the winter carnival, skated loo yards in i0 2-5 seconds on a standing start. That breaks the womcn's amateur record for the distance.
 The skating events in connection with the winter carnival are sched- uled to open this evening at the Weller avenue rink. It is hoped to have it in shape but if a postpone ment is necessary it is probable that at least some of the events in con neetion with the carnival will be held al Onota lake. where the ice is in wonderful condition.

 Some time ago McAllister was suspended for six months following a verbal altercation with A. A. r. offi- cials. It is believed this still ranllles in his chest.
 McAllister, who has always thought pretty well of himself, may feel that he has slipped to such an extent that he can no longer hold his own with the stars of the sporting world. Strengthening this thought is the fact that McAllister refused to compete in u recent event here when he learned that he would have to face Loren Murchison. McAllister agreed to run, but when Murchison was enrolled as an added starter he withdrew.
 MeAllister was a sensation in 1922. beating some of the country's greatest stars in both indoor and outdoor sprints. That year he won the national senior and junior 100-yard titles out doors. A year ago he created new American indoor record for l50 yards, covering the distance in 14 5-5 sec ondg
