MADDEN AGREES
WITH S|M0OT
ON TAXES
Nv MERRYLE STANLEY
RTJKEYSER

NEW YORK, March 21.--Rep.
resentative Martin B. Madden,
chairman of the House Commit
tee on Appropriations of the
SEVENTEEN Congress, now in SEES
sion, is in complete agreement wten
Reed Smoot, chairman OF the
Senate Finance Committee, he dis
closed in a statement on the pros.
poets OF tax reduction prepared
exclusively for this column.
Mr.. Madden, who accepts
Secretary Melons estimate as to
how much tax reduction will be
feasible, il not disposed to spon.
sur the original House tax re-
duction bill, which was passed
on December Is, despite his OPP
position, and which since has
been held up in the Upper House.
The House bill authorized tax
reductions aggregating about $29Os
OOO, 700, q figure which Secre-
tary Mellon and Senator Smoot
have characterized az excessive.
The Treasury last fall recon-
nlended q Federal tax cut of
$225, OOO, 900, and the Chamber Of
Commerce OF the United States
expressed the belief that $780,
900 900 reduction was practicable.
This liberal estimate brought the
chamber into sharp conflict with
the Administration.
Starts New Tax Row
The chambers official organ.
the Nations Business, recently
precipitated anew the tax con.
troversy by charging the Senate
Finance Committee with hurting
business through needless delay
in authorizing tax reduction. In
commenting on this representa-
ton. Senator Snnoot informed me
last week that he did not pro-
pose to be responsible for q rev.
enue bill that would BY the end
Of 1929 result n a deficit in
administering public affairs. The
chairman Of the Senate Finance
COMMITTEES referred to the fact
that there are now pending in
the House and Senate bills which
will require more than $2.OOO,OOO.
600 for flood control. Muscle
Shoals. Boulder Dam. Columbia
Basin. st. Lawrence Canal. and
added to that there would be q
substantial increase in the annual
appropriations for the Navy.
Nevertheless, Mr.. SKnO0t reaf-
firmed his belief in the feasibility
OF q $225 100000 tax cut at this
session.

the pile. I take exception to this
term because, if properly coached,
the guard can get into every line
play and do as much to stop plays
as any other defensive lineman.
The trouble with most defensive
guards is that they are told to plug
holes in the offensive line rather
than to break through and stop plays
before they are under way.
played guard myself and l be-
lieve the style of defensive play Of
the guard should vary as much as
that of any other lineman.
Schwab Was Good
Schwab Of Lafayette, all-America
for two years, weighed less than 178
pounds but he was one of the best
guards l have ever seen play. He
never played low on the line unless
deep in his own territory.
Other good guards l have seen
seldom played close to the offensive
line but were far enough back to
evade the charge of offensive line
men and then sifted through the
hole. I like to, see q player use his
ingenuity.
! believe q coach should allow a
player to use the style he likes best.
teach q player to do certain things
and I allow him to do as he thinks
best, providing it brings results.
Centers should be dependable,
first OF all. They should have con-
fidence in the backs and the backs
should have confidence in the
centers.
Centers should know lot of foot
ball. Opposing quarterbacks watch
the defensive center perhaps more
than any other player, as the whole
secondary defense changes as the
center moves in or out Of the line.
I prefer a rowing" center and a six
man defensive line.
The center position is a glorious
one. He can play in the line or in
the defensive backfield, as he de-
cldes. He gets in every play, inter-
cepts passes, and makes open
tackles.
Backs. like linemen, are taught to
watch every movement of the Of
fensive team, linemen and backs.
The plan of any good attack is to
throw some defensive man out of
position. particularly trc hicks, be-
cause of the forward pass threat.
Backs must anticipate the play
and must never be drawn out Of
position.
