The following remarks Of a very well
known player on the luck Of the
game" are most interesting:
II think Chance and Luck, as they
affect the Bridge player, are a most
fascinating subject, because you can
never get to the bottom of it.
you can never definitely prove any
thing.
I'VE know that Auction Bridge is a
game of skill ard chance combined.
The finest player on earth cannot beat
the cards. The utmost advantage that
the best player has over the worst is
certainly under twenty per cent. 1t is
more likely ten or perhaps fifteen per
cent. This is, of course, an ample
margin to make it certain that the
best player will win in the long RIM.
: Il know very fine player who, after
five years during which he won con-
sistently, has since had three losing
years, and is, up to date, down on his
fourth.

having had losing year, although sesy
may have had long weeks or months Of
misfortune.
''But the fallacy Of most people who
dogmatize glibly about the cards aver
aging themselves out, is that there are
other factors which have to be taken in
account, The best player is helpless in
the hands of a bad partner rubber
after rubber. Of course, you may say
it is impossible3 and that, like the
cards, you will get your fair share of
good partners in the course of year.
But you can't prove it.
Then, again, you may happen to
strike good partners just at the period
when they are in bad luck, and you
derive no benefit from their superior
play. And it may easily fall out that
you get your good cards at the wrong
time, or when your partner is holding
a succession of Yarboroughs. Good
cards can often be very expensive.

Tax Refunds

Extracts from remarks of Hon.
Joseph w. Byrns, of Tennessee, in
House of Representatives, July 8,
1890:
From 1922 down to June 16,
1880, the federal government, un-
der the administrations of three
Republican presidents Harding,
Coolidge, and Hoover-but under
the administration of single Sec
retary of the Treasury, Andrew w.
Mellon, bas paid out of the public
treasury in tax refunds, including
credits and interest, the enormous
sum of $2,860, 405, ,989.58. This is
revised figure and is exact for GER
tain claims allowed during the pres
ent year, but any revision covering
them is not likely to affect the total
more than few dollars. At any
rate, we may say with perfect ac-
euracy that the tax, refund claims
paid out of the federal treasury
since 1922 are in excess of $2,S5O,
100000. Furthermore. additional
cidlmS are Delng palu from llme 10
time. There are approximately ST.
600, 100000 of such claims still
pending, and if they are settled on
the same basis as those already al
lowed, they will increase the grand
total of tax refund, credit, and in
ferest payments to approximately
$4,000, 600, 900, or more than the
total ordinary operating expenses Of
ehe government for one year.
Among the refund payments are
some involving great sums of mon
ey. To the United States Steel Cor
poration alone has already been
paid total of $96, 6,3S4,86593.
Another large claim paid in a
prior year was upward of a million
and quarter dollars to the Alum
mum Co. of America, giant mo-
nopoly owned and controlled, ac
eording to general information, by
the family of which Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon is member
1t is not possible to say whether
all or large part of these tax-re-
fund payments are just and fair,
because it is not possible for any
one outside the treasury depart
ment to get all of the facts.
We must remember that approx
fmately 83 per cent of this vast sum
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1930-10-09

of money paid out Of the treasury
in refunds and interest was collect
ed in war excess profits taxes during
the administration of Woodrow Will
SON. 1t was collected with which to
finance the vigorous prosecution Of
the World war. During that great
struggle, which rocked the very
foundations of our civilization, we
heard much of the slogan work or
fight" We understood that those
who staid at home and worked, and
especially those who made huge
fortunes out of the war, were to pay
the cost of the war in war taxes.
That was why the war excess profits
taxes were levied during the Demo
cratic administration. That was why
we collected the money of which
three Republican administrations
have now turned back nearly So
00,000,000 and will, in all prob
ability, turn back in all nearly four
billions, much of it to those who
made vast fortunes out of the war

by profiteering.
We should not forget, either, that
some of this money being taken
from the treasury will be made up
out OF the pockets of the very men
who fought in that war.
Whatever money is taken from
the public treasury and paid to
backtax claimants must be made
I'D by taxing others. The very men
who fought the World war are now
back here paying taxes to help meet
the governments needs, and they
must pay share, and very con-
siderable share, Of this nearly $4,-
900, 100000 that is being taken out
Of the public treasury to satisfy
back-tax claimants on payments
made more than 10 years ago in
war taxes.
1t is my contention, and the con-
tention of my Democratic col
leagues, that there should be jul
dicial determination of whether
these back-tax claims are just and
fair.
