Rules Debate Involves
Entire Sport Philosophy

From the Des Moines Tribune Capital
Our whole philosophy of sport is in
voIved in the debate over proposed
changes in the rules of foot ball and
basket ball.
What the advocates of change pro-
pose is to eliminate the possibility of
q lucky chance breaking up game.
enabling what may be the less powerful
team to win.
The opponents say that the luck is
part of sport, that we all have some
of the gambling instinct In us, and we
enjoy seeing the under dog come out
on top as result of some freak of fate.
The advocates of the new rules say
that skill should be rewarded. Their
opponents retort that the highest skill
is in taking advantage of the turn and
providing against it.
The specific rule that is under de-
bate Is the one that permits team,
in foot ball, to recover tumble made
under certain conditions and run with
the ball. Frequently every season this
play, or misplay, wins games.
What should the rulers do? Should
they forfeit the game because of one
mistake, and defend themselves by say
ing that they are rewarding the alert
ness of the player who gets the ball?
Should our sports be spectacular or
shall they be simply tests to find the
best team? At present they are spec
tacular, made for the spectators, and
the stadium investments and box Office
necessities are likely to keep them that
way for a long time to come.
But from the boys point of view and
from that of any sportsman, the best
work and the best man should not lose
by luck. That Is contrary to the prayer
of the sportsman: May the best man

Bows and Girls.

Juvenile court statistics gathered
throughout the country by the Chill
dren's Bureau provide some interesting
sociological data.
Boys, as was to have been expected,
are more frequent offenders than girls.
The ratio is nearly six to one. The Of
lenses of girls, on the other hand, are
more fundamental and more difficult
to treat.
Almost half of the boys come before
the juvenile courts for stealing. This
is not so bad as 1t might seem. There
is thieving period In the lives of most
boys. Usually it passes of itself, with
no permanent bad effects. The thieving
adventures of children leave pleasant
memories. Great men like to dwell
upon them in their autobiographies.
Only thirteen per cent of the girl of
tenders are arrested for stealing. The
probability is that they steal for diff
ferent purpose-to get something they
covet. This is almost never the case
with the boy. He steals for the sake of
stealing-for the thrill that comes in
moonlit peach orchard while he mo-
mentarily expects the farmer to come
charging over the fields in his night
robe. What the boy seeks is not fruit
but danger.
On the other hand, nearly four times
as many girls as boys, in proportion to
the number arrested, are charged with
being ungovernable and beyond parent
al control.
The same proportion holds true, Curl
ously enough, for truancy and running
away. 1t might have been expected
that wanderlust would appear more
frequently in boys. Every boy feels the
longing for distant scenes Apparently,
however, the emotion leads less often
to action.

Billions Involved i'm Midget
Railway Appeal Attracts U. S.

Because billions Of dollars are in
volved in the decision of the st. Louis
& O'Fallon rail suit, which has been
taken to the United States Supreme
Court on appeal the issues at stake are
the subject of national discussion.
Under the "recapture" provision of the
transportation laws the case will de-
termine on what basis of valuation the
earnings of the company are to be con-
sidered While this line is only a few
miles long, the principles to be passed
upon will apply to other railroads and
possibly other public service enterprises.
The law provides that net earnings of
railroads which exceed per cent shall
be split with the Government on $3.50
basis, the money so received being placed
in a revolving fund to be loaned to
needy roads.
THUS far the payments made by the
railroads." according to the Atlanta
Journal, have been negligible, due more
to the small number of carriers able to
earn over per cent than to definite
refusal to comply with the law" The
Journal quotes railroad executives
statement that this is 1.-The greatest law
suit in history" and also one contention
that the Government could not prop
erly force corporation to give UP a
portion of its earnings to aid other car
riers," while the lower courts decision
against the railroads basis of valuation
is mentioned. That paper concludes:
THUS small switching road supplies
materials for the greatest lawsuit 1t
Is a pretty commentary on Importance
in this complex modern world"
THE Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has proceeded on the theory that
q practical basis for valuation was the
worth of rail property in 1914, with al
lowance for new investments and de-
probation" says the Kansas City Star,
contrasting that position with the stand
taken in the railroad briefs that "a val
uation on reproduction cost of roads to-
day. plus depreciation, would not be
contended for as sole basis of valua-
ton, since the court had never recog-
nized that principle alone, but it would
be asked that this principle be consid-
cred along with Others" The Star
adds, Obviously, any outcome of this
case. which might involve marked rate
advances, would be a serious matter to
the country, especially the agricultural
sections"
"a battle between gigantic forces"
is seen by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
as 1.-The climax of fourteen years of
controversy" and the Eagle comments:
1T is curious to go back to 1900 and note
that in the Nebraska railroad case pre-
cisely this issue was at stake. with
William Jennings Bryan, representing
Nebraska, arguing before the Supreme
Court that present costs of reproduce
ton should be the sole basis of valua-
ton, and the railroad companies argu-
ing that the actual investment should
control. In the Nebraska cases repro
duction, because of lower wages and
material expenses, would have been
vastly lower than original cost. In the
present case the reverse is true. The
