Tax reduction is, on the whole, a
better thing than tax revision of any
kind. 1t is a pretty sure thing that
if the burden is hghtened absolutely,
by the removal of some appreciable
part of it, that the result will be felt
in agreeable fashion, if it is merely
shifted, the chances are that, after
momentary sensation of greater ease.
the old WEAKNESS will appear again.
There are so many different ways
by which tax may be passed on
from one person to another that it is
ordinarily and generally the case that
great many people are feeling OPP
pressed by heavy taxes without know
ing what it is that weighs upon them.
But when the burden is reduced
they experience relief from this OPP
preston just as surely and just as
extensively whether they realize how
it comes about or not.
Re yision of methods of taxation
may be good thingtor may not, but
reduction of taxation, short of the
point of hampering the necessary
functions of government, is always a
distinct blessing to the people in gem

 Jim Lynch's Gasco adorables won another game last night when they defeated the Stanley Rule and Level company dusty league outfit by a one-sided score. In justice to the leaguers, however, it must be ex- plained that their team was weak ened by the absence of two regulars. Wojak excelled for the winners and Walther and Nichols for the leaguers.
 The Gasco outfit now is camping on the trail of the Fafnlrs and the Cabinet Lock, the only two factory league outfits they have not met and conquered. It Is hinted that the Lockmakers are planning to dodge the speedy Gascos until mld-season when they themselves will have reached top form.

COLLEGE BRED MEN
 IN SPORTS WORLD
Big Leagues Are Getting Very
 Hieh-BloWy

This is getting to Dc the high brow age in Professional athletics.
 In the major leagues many of the outstanding stars arc college men.
 Frank Frisch and Eddie Collins. two of the greatest second basemen of all time, are former "Rah. Rah" boys.
 Collins did his stuff at Columbia while Frankie Frisch was the big noise at Fordham. These two players are typical of the college typo In the big leagues.
 The new heavyweight wrestling champion. Wayne Mum, is former University of Nebraska student. He starred in football at college.
 Two former football stars, "sully" Montgomery of Centre and Ed Gar vey of Notre Dame, are contepders for the heavyweight title of Jack Dempsey. At present their claims are trife remote. Making 1t seem that brains and brawn go hand in hand when one is in search of a championship title. whether 1t be baseball, wrestling or boxing.
 Mum, who stands six feet six inches and weighs around 250. no doubt won the heavyweight title from "Strangler" Lewis by a display of brawn rather than gray matter.
 Mum in reality is little more than novice in. the wrestling game. At college he was mat champ but has been wrestling professionally just about a year.
 It was his splendid physique and superb strength that enabled him to defeat Lewis. He made no attempt to outguess the champion, depending entirely on brute force to win.
 At Nebraska, Mum was an all- round athlete. In football he was always in the right spot. He always used his head in figuring out the at tack of the opposition.
 If Mum, a mere novice, masters the science of wrestling, he should hold the wrestling title for years to come. He is the model type athlete, doesn't drink, chew or smoke.
 Of late years number of versa tile athletes have broken into the majors direct from college.
 While only limited number of the many tried out have made good, most of the collegians came to the big show with athletic records a mile long.
 Some have been merely baseball and football stars, while others have been three and four-letter inen al college. @
 However, it is doubtful if any atlG lete was ever picked up by a majol league club with the athletic pres tige dhat Mel Kerr boasts.
 Kerr was recently signed by th' Chicago Cubs. He halls from Sas katoon, Sask., in the great opeI spaces, etc. Kerr's record make! him look every bit a man.
