Tech and Western each has
fought cOurageOuSIy through one
of the most closely contested
series the high schools have yet

thing empty and unsatisfying
about tie.
1t goes without saying that the
players themselves would welcome
a return game between Tech and
Western. who played 6-to-6 tie in
the series. Sometimes the coaches

case Of Dan Ahearn, Of Western,

the little fellows who were moulded
into q flashy team by the smart
coaching of Elmer Hardell, showed
lots of class. Hardell's team has i'm
proved markedly with each succeed

In the final battle he had the
services of one bacl1fieId player
who might have been the balance
of power to give Tech the undis-
puted title had he been available
from the start. Harry Mullen, in
jured before the series, got his
chance in the last quarter of the
last game and he surely made the
most of it.
According to one computation,
Mullen carried the ball six times

Mullen made himself a marked

Editorial Comment
Taxes and Profits
lC.on<J Foul. uo~~l.h

In his discussion Of taxation at Mnot the other
day Tax Commissioner Thoresen devoted some time
to the theory that taxation should be proportonatc
to ability to pay. 1t was pointed out that the prop
erty tax is inconsistent with this theory, because
one piece Of property may yield its owner sub
stantial revenue, while another, of equal market
value, may yield only very scant returns or possibly
none at all.
OF course there is no such thing as a system Of
taxation which will operate with perfect justice
to all individuals. No such scheme will ever be de-
vised 1t is easy to find inequitics in the operation
OF any property tax. On the other hand, if all tax
alton were based earnings, which may be ac-
cepted as evidence Of ability to pay should have
something in the nature Of premium on ineffi-
cheney. The farmer who put industry and sound
judgment into his work and 'reaped the reward
which such course merits would be required to
pay heavy tax, while his ncighbor with land and
other property of equal value who neglected his
work would escape with small tax
A good many people have speculated on the crea
ton OF single basis for taxation but perhaps the
nearest approach to equity is to be found in varied
system under which part of the revenue is derived
from property values such and part from earn
ings as SUCH In this way while there will still be
inequities, those in direction will tend to correct
these in the other and thus reasonably fair bal
ance win be struck.

Hoover Urges PROMPT Action


Secretary Hoover has come vigorously to The de-
Tense Of the proposed inland waterways. He de-
clarcs that the Middle West is boxed in by toll
gates. These toll gates he well pictures comprs
ing increased rail rates, the Panama Canal, and
ocean freight rates maintained ut virtually prcwar
levels
He is firm believer that the construction of, TIL,
proposed waterway system would bring the Middle
West back to its old economic position. Such an
enterprise would convert every ai~oort into sea-
port and give the Mississippi Valley and contiguous
territory cheaper transportation.
Secretary Hoover has made a profound study Of
transportation conditions Of the Nation and he
speaks one having authority Il subject Of this
kind.
The Middle West is indeed fortunate in having
such an advocate Secretary Hoover.
The chief obstacle is securing from Canada som"
definite statement CT its policy relating to this
tcrway project. There is much mise )nccptit regard
ing the great waterway enterprise. One Of the
vital problems before the friends Of the nand
waterway is to bring about unity with Canada. If
the Great Lakes system be linked up in enc WA
tcrway to the there is the possibility of cheap
encd transportation for imports and exports of grain
and raw materials This would 20 a long way toward
solving the problems of tho farmers Of the Middle
West.

Easy Going Parents

Lack of parental authority and supervision in the

by schocl-teachers, according to John c. Acheson,
President of Manchester College. In an address re-
Gently before the members of the Minnesota Con-
gress of he declared that the pres
cnt trend in child training, of allowing the child to
follow his own initiative and the disposition on the
part of some parents to shield him from hard WORK!
is making the task Of the educators much more diff
ficult. He declares that the "assertive ndepcnd-
enee among some Of young people is little short
Of defiance.
Continuing the symposium, Professor S. f. kcr.

the background of all education is in the home He
says that its influence must not only be precedent

can be no question to the wisdom of this conclu-
sion 1t is arrived at after years Of experience as
an educator. Another side Of the picture is shown
by f. V. Vestling, Carleton College professor. He
places emphasis upon parent responsibility He de-
clares that students who from homes where
fathers and mothers practice what they preach are
usually earnest and sincere

Politics in the League of Nations

From distance at least it appears that selfish
politics is dominating the League of Nations. Fol
lowing SO closely the Locarno agreement the
present dsagrcements especially significant. 1t
argued that the Locarno pact was to pave the
way for the harmonious participation Of Germany
in the affairs Of the League of Nations. France.
however, seems determined to set up the Lcagu,
council against Germany by the admission Of Po-
land and one or two other fourth rate powers Ger
many is reluctant to allow the participation of PO
land in the League on the same basis as she. Spain
and some South American Republics are also FESTIVE
because of the limited membership accorded them.
1t is impossible at this writing even to speculate
upon the possible solution of the difficulties 1t
must be apparent every American citizen that the
United States is much better out of the League, and
minding its own business at home.

A Hero Still

When the American steamer President Roosevelt
braved the full fury Of Il North Atlantic storm t.,
stand by the doomed British vessel Antinoe and res
cue her from certain death, two American sail
ors gave their lives that the might be accom-
plished
One OF. them was young whose name
carried on the Rooscvct's articles Us Ernest IIeit-
man. He died gaantly, herocay. venturing out in
frail lifeboat when he alone Of all the ships com
pany, knew that he could not swim a stroke. He was
dropped into the water, cutchcd futilcly at a dang
ling rope and sank out of sight
And now it develops that he was not really named
Ernest Hoffman. The real Ernest Hoffman is living
in New York, alive and WELL driving taxicab
Hoffman sailor years ago, but quit the
sea-as sailors are always threatening to do. He
knows only that his locker in scaman's club was
broken into night four years ago and his sea
mans papers stolen.
Investigation indicates that the sailor who shipped
on the Roosevelt as Ernest Hoffman was young
German who found it hard to get a berth because
he was not an American citizen So he did what he
could; he stole the papers of Hoffman and used
them.
It's an odd little mxup. Suppose the young Ger
man had known, when he broke into Heitman's lock-
or. what those papers would bring him; how they
would lead him to unmarked grave far down in
the cold Atlantic, in dead winter; would he have
taken them?
, Perhaps not. And yet
1t doesn't really matter. The seeds Of heroisn,.
forgetfulness of SELF buried in his heart all
the time, even if he did rob fellow seaman of his
papers. Hidden in the soul Of this unknown young
sailor was the capability to rise to brave deed.
