BABY SAL AND
ALICANTE WILL
MEET FRIDAY

The California Athletic Commits
sion having announced that it is
going to name champions in each
class for boxing, it is to be hoped
they will cast their eyes toward El
Centre Friday night, when Baby
Sal Sorio and Vivencio Alicante
meet here in the 10 round main
event at the Imperial Valley Athle-
tic club
If there was ever a natural" for
two welterweights, this is it. Both
boys are right at the top in this
class and a fight between them is
good enough for any club IN the
state, or outside the state for that
matter.
Baby Sal, the Mexican ace, has q
great record III the California ring
and the same can be said of Alcan-
te, who has not been here more
than few months following a SEN
sational career in the Orient.
Both boys can hit and hit hard.
but Alicante hits the harder Of the
two. The Filipino is game. as he
proved by standing up under a
fierce clouting from Sammy Aguirre
in the local ring. He is fast and
though bit green on boxing, he
is not novice.
Baby Sal is a great boxer, has
plenty of speed and has a knack of
putting terrific force into on
punch every so often, that eYentu-
ally wears down his man.
Russ Bradford, the clever little
fellow who made q monkey out of
Teddy PalacioS last week, tackles
none other than Homer Gaines in
the semi-final. 1t will be news to
the fans. but Homer is no longer
a colored boy. He is q Cuban. if

McMullen, who defeated George
Lujon in San Diego last week.
George is the tough hombre who
knocked out bozo with two punch
es here last fall.
A fight that many a fan will
want to see is the rematch between
Kid Pancho of Tijuana and Fred
Figueroa of this city. The boys
met two weeks ago and Pancho
walked away with the decision af-
ter standing up under a tough
siege including a number Of acci-
dental low blows.

LOUCHRAN WILL
BE REAL TEST
FOR MAX BAER
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Feb. 3. W.P)--Max
Baer, the California heavyweight
boxer who knows little or nothing
about boxing. may be a much sad
der and wiser young man VIXEN ne
finishes his 10 round engagement
with Tommy Loughran of Phila-
delphia in Madison Square Garden
Friday night.
1t all depends on just how far
Loughran has slipped since he was
kingpln of the ITS Founders. If,
after some Il years of campaigning
he still has enough strength to
travel 10 fairly fast rounds. he
should give the coast youngster q
post graduate course in boxing.
AS long as his legs and wind last
Tommy. with his profound ring
savvy, is certain to cause the wide
open, wild swinging Baer embar-
rassment a-plenty. Four years ago
Baer couldn't have hit Loughran
with anything less than a shotgun.
Friday night he may not be aple
to hit him with a right and in that
case it's liable to be Loughran all
the way.
The exact extent to which Lough-
ran has slipped is not known, for
the Philadelphian has not shown
here since that evening when Shar-
key knocked him out with re-
sounding clout on the temple.
This temple blow, by the way, is
being carefully rehearsed by Baer
at his training camp in Orange
burg. All his sparring mates have
adhesive tape crosses pasted on
their helmets above the temple and

MORE TAX ON
NATURAL RESOURCE

In writing to Representative
Hjalmar Petersen, Askov, express
sing approval of his recent in
come tax article and advocating
that form of taxation, Municipal
Judge H. w. Dart of Proctor, also
takes occasion to advocate addi-
tional taxes on natural resources,
naming hydro electric energy.
Judge Darts letter dated Dec. 10,
1881, follows:
have just finished reading your
article in the Union Labor Advocate
on the proposed income tax and
heartily concur in what you say.
While you present some sound ar
guments and state some pertinent
facts, l believe the most significant
is "our system of taxation is alto
gether to antiquated." Why is it an
tiquated? With minor notifications
our taxation system is the same as it
was when the government was
founded. Changed conditions demand
a change in policy.
Of course, many who profit by the
present system are shouting from the
house tops, 'just another tax" and
inventing arguments to show the i'm
practicability of this form of taxa
ton. 1t is up to the people who are
interested in this to do the mission
airy work, and you have shown the
way.
In the past, we have tried every
means that could be suggested to
raise additional revenue, and with
the exception of a gross earnings tax
it is always on property. We have
accepted the theory that a natural
resource should carry a heavier bur-
den than other property. The various
taxes imposed on iron ore are ex-
amples of this. l believe these taxes
are just and reasonable. Why not
follow this up by placing a tax on
hydro electric energy? No industry
is better able to stand such a tax.
1t would produce large sum. 1t is
an established principle that the state
owns the flowing water and as the
owner, is justified in charging for it's
use.
Other states have levied such tax.
South Carolina has an excellent law
in this respect. Idaho and Oregon
enacted similar legislation last win
ter.
I'm for a state income tax as we'll
as a tax on hydro electric energy.
Let's go.

1000 MORE MILES
WILL GET OILED
CONTINUED from Page II


be paved, however, comes out of mile
age now graded and graveled, leav-
ing about 1000 miles suitable for
treatment. Some of the graded routes
will also require considerable frost
boil work before bituminous treat
ment can be applied. A careful check
will be made to determine the con-
dition of each section before the
routes to be treated are selected. Bids
will be called for during the winter
so that work can start as soon as
weather permits in late spring.
Generally peaking, bituminous
gravel on routes carrying 400 or more
vehicles per day costs less in the long
run than untreated gravel, although
on routes with light traffic the cost is
somewhat higher, says the highway
department. Bituminous gravel is
dustless, less subject to rutting and
"washboarding," and requires less
routine maintenance. Less gravel is
required both for first application and
for resurfacing, for treated than for
untreated roads.
Under average conditions bitumi-
nous roads need retreatment two out
Of every three years. About two thirds
of the roads already treated will be
retreated in 1882. With each treat
ment deeper mat and more solid
surface is built up.
In exceptional cases, where traffic
is very heavy, roads intended for paw
ing in 1888 may get light bitumi-
nous treatment in 1882. This may
also be done on a few stretches of
roads of sub-standard grade, where
there is heavy peak-load of summer
traffic and where permanent grading
is not planned for the near future.
The bulk of the bituminous work,
however, will be on roads which are
permanently graded and not on the
paving program for the next bien-
mum.

Kerrick WOnaan's
Song Is Chosen

Mrs. G. L. Wahlquist of Kerrick,
was signally honored recently when
the song Your Star To Lead Me On"
which she had written, was accepted
for publication by st. Paul music
publisher in a book entitled, "Ten
Popular Songs For Fireside and
Studio" Mrs. Wahlquist wrote the
song in response to call sent out
by the publisher for ten specially
selected songs to be combined under
one cover to be offered to the public
at a popular price. The songs Sc
lected are ones believed to appeal to
all classes of music lovers and Mrs.
Wahlquist is to be congratulated in
that her work is considered as one
of the best in the book and because
it was one of the ten best among
hundreds of manuscripts sent in from
all parts of the country. Songs from
authors from Maine, New York,
Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota and California appear
in the book. Copies of the book have
been sent to the leading radio sta
tions of the country and have been
placed on sale with music dealers in
every state in the union.
Pioneers of Minnesota.
Mrs. Wahlquist, wife of the Great
Northern station agent in Kerrick,
was raised in Isanti county between
Princeton and Cambridge having come
there while but young girl with her
parents. She was married to G. L.
Wahlquist on Nov. q, 1906. Her rela-
tives are numerous in all parts of
Minnesota and can truly be termed
pioneers of the Gopher state.
The Wahlquists, residents of Ker-
rick for IL years and of Brook Park
6 years, have three children, two
daughters and one son. Vivian is a
member of the faculty of the Sand
stone village school, Dolores is
student in the Kerrick schools and
Ralph is at home.
When interviewed by a representa-
tive of the American, Mrs. Wahlquist
stated that she had no musical ed
ucation but that she wrote poetry as
hobby and had just recently submitted
some of her compositions to music
publishers. Her friends will con-
graduate her upon her success thus
far and wish her future recognition
if she so decides to keep up the work.

all, it placed the blame for the whole
affair directly upon the Chamber and
its principal executive officer, Secre-
tary John G. McHugh.
Moreover, the exoneration of the
Farmers Union Terminal association
will have the effect Of educating many
farmers of Minnesota and of the
northwest to the true situation in the
marketing field. For years the farm
ers through cooperative efforts have
endeavored to market their own prod
ucts, only to meet with opposition in
the courts and elsewhere to their pro-
gram. These farmers have invariab-
ly insisted that their real enemies
were the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce. Now at last they have
definitely secured proof to sustain the
charge.
CO-Operatives See Light.
Unfortunately, too, other co-opera-
tive organizations not engaged in the
grain marketing business have not
shown the friendship for the Farmers
Union Terminal association or to its
predecessor, the Equity Cooperative
Exchange, to which these organiza-
tiOns were entitled. Even during the
recent hearings representatives of
several of these organizations init
mated in the conversation that the Of
fcers of the Terminal association had
been dishonest in their grain grading
and purchasing of grain at prices be-
low that paid by firms affiliated with
the Chamber of Commerce.
Aided Co.operatives.
In this connection it is fair to state
that the one good thing that has come
out of the Federal Farm Board is it's
aid to the different cooperative or
CARNATIONS. The writer believes that
the Farmers National Grain Corpora
ton has rendered and is rendering a
great service to the farmers in the
marketing of their products and will
be the means perhaps of ultimately
bringing about the establishment of
one huge cooperative organization to
market the farmers products in each
field. This, however, does not mean
that the Hoover farm relief bill has
been what it's proponents claim for it.
Anyway the hearings before the
Governor have been the means of ex-
posing the enemies of the Farmers
Union Terminal association and it is
possible to hope, if not to prophesy,
that the organization may be let alone
to conduct its work unhampered by
its natural enemies in the grain mar
keting field.

GRAIN MARKETING
BODY EXONERATED
BY HENRY G.. TEIGAN

The Farmers Union Terminal asso-
citation cannot complain of the results
of the hearings on Elevator M.
The finish was in fact a grand field
day for the Terminal association
John G. McHugh, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce and veteran
enemy of farmers cooperative mar
keting organizations in the northwest,
was put ON the stand and under a
grilling cross examination by Tom
Davis, admitted that he had dictated
the affidavits signed by Wise and
Everett.
At the beginning of the hearings
Davis contended that the Terminal
association would be able to show
that the attack upon the railroad COM
mission was merely ruse in the eff
fort to destroy the farmers marketing
organization. Whether he would be
able to do this was not definitely de-
cided until the very end when Mr..
McHugh testified under oath that he
had dictated the affidavits referred to.
At first McHugh was reluctant to
admit that. He contended that he had
merely aided bit in the phraseology.
But after Davis asked him whether
he could find any language in either
affidavit which was that of the COM
plainants, McHugh admitted that he
could not now determine which was
his language and which was that of
either Wise or Everett.
Old Equity Fight.
The fight just concluded is a con-
tinuation of that begun years ago
against the Equity Cooperative Ex-
change. In the early history of the
Exchange. Gorge S. LOTUS and James
Manahan, manager and attorney for
the Exchange, were the main targets
for the attacks of the Chamber. Now
that the Farmers Union Terminal
association has become the successor
of the Equity Cooperative Exchange,
it is but natural that the Chamber of
Commerce should continue it's fight
upon the association and it's officers.
AS stated above, in the old days it
was Gearge Lotus and Jim Manahan
who were the principal victims Of the
Chambers attacks. Now it has been
M. w. Thatcher who has had to face
the enemy's fire.
Hearings Do Good.
The hearing has certainly resulted
in much good. 1t leaves the railroad
and warehouse commission practically
unschathed as far as this investiga-
ton is concerned, and it has not done
damage to the Farmers Union Term
inal association, as had obviously been
intended. In fact the concluding cpl
sode Of the drama enacted before the
governor was overwhelming in the as
sociation's favor. Most important of
