Uncle Sam Pinching
Bridge Game Pots

When the bridge players of No
gales and Santa Cruz County sit
down for an evening of play they
probably never have given one
thought to the fact that Uncle Sam
is pinching the pot, even though the
favor offered for the best play is a
trifle.
Likewise the poker players, the
fellows who play for a penny and
the guys who unflinchingly lay down
a thousand or more grand on the
turn of card, have their Uncle
in Washington sitting in ON the
game with them.
They may not ever give the mat
ter a thought, but the, revenue de-
partment of the government is COL
lecting it's share out of every game
that is played, and the collection
comes in the form Of the tax which
is levied on every deck of cards.
Uncle Sans share in the games
each year runs up into the mil
lions. He gets his before the cards
are shuffled and before a single
player gets hand. He does not
have to wait for the winnings to
Go his pinching. He is the kind Of
business man who collects in ad-
vance, and especially so when he
is dealing with the gamblers who
depend on the cards for their iv-
ing. According to a report recently
made public, the revenue in taxes
on playing cards is on the increase.
Just what causes this upward trend
has not been definitely determined.
Some say that the business depres-
sion is one cause. That as a result
of poor business folks who never
INDUCED in chance, are resorting
to their wits to gather in a few
dollars in ready cash, and are,
therefore, trying their luck with

President HooVer's speeches al

field are generally taken as the be-
ginning of his campaign for re-

did, the recent meeting of young
Republicans at the national capital,
where the lieutenants of the party
praised their chief, the addresses Of
the chief executive were followed
with great interest.
At Indianapolis, where political
observers expected some ideas of
the Presidents reaction to present
issues, Mr.. Hoover laid down some
fundamentals, declaring that the
administration proposes to see the
country out of the present depres-
sion by maintaining the doctrine of
individualism. Possible platform
planks were seen in these conclu-
sionS:
Unalterable opposition to a Fed
eral dole to the unemployed.
No Federal ownership or opera
ton of public utilities.
Maintenance of the Republican
protective tariff.
No government-in-bu COM

Less than two months ago a
group of first-nighters were stand
ing in the lobby of the Belasco
Theater discussing the opening
performance reactions of the
latest Sir David Wing Pinero play.
Philip Merivale was acting the
star role. In the second act Mr..
Merivale was ordered by the &C.
ton to turn on a faucet and wash
his face. No water came. Illusion
was destroyed by this woeful in
attention to detail the effect of
the playwright, probably intended
to convey was nullified. David
RelaSco never neglected these

Was Magic Manager

"A few seasons ago another
play opened in Washington with
high hopes. 1t had a coronation
scene and the music which came
from the wings, presumably from
the royal orchestra, was readily
recognized as the output Of a
Sdueaky phonograph. BelaSco
would never tolerate such an ef-
feet. Either the orchestra would
be off stage or there would be no
RelaSco play.
Sometimes I would like to criti-
cize David Belasco, chaStiZe him,
because the dramatic genius who
made us marvel with a "Du
Barry" and a Darling Of the
Gods" could prostitute a great art
to such fleeting palava as Ladies
Of the Evening" And then the
tremendous Belasco energy and
talent would be turned towards

response is to find that critics

He said some more-stuttering
as he did when thoughts and emo

express them-but his main pleas

seen fit to mention his admirable
