Periodically, the very qualities which made the 260-pound negro boxing menace-faking ability and d devastating punch--are the fac tors which assure him wrestling sue cess.
 PIcnty of Color to Him
 Wrestling fans have no objections to faksng and delight in seeing God frey haul off with right hand punch to send opponents sailing out of the ring. With the histrionic abil- ity acquired in long years of hold ing up" ring opponents and the color" (260 pounds of it). which he brings to the game, Godfrey is likely to become wrestlings great est drawing card.
 Big George cannot wrestle but that is not serious handicap. After 2 Mexican tour in which he scored 14 consecutive victories in as many cities over his chauffeur who ap- peared under IA different names, Godfrey made his United States de- but in Newark. N. J., Monday. He won his bout with mystery hold, which consisted chiefly of q right hook to the jaw, and was booked inn mediately to appear at Jersey City last night.
 The Jersey City show assured Godfrey of offers from one of the big wrestling trusts. Whereas such stars as Londos, McMillan. Sonnen- berg and Don George never have been able to draw more than HOO fans at Jersey City, Godfrey's ap- pearance resulted in sellout of the 5000 capacity arena and more than G,000 fans were turned away.
 Two At a Time
 Godfrey won his match-in fact he won two matches. It wouldn't be good business to have him defeat ed. The first match went 15 min utes and when Tommy Draak, 220- Tound Ho1lander found that God frey lacked sufficient knowledge of wrestling holds to make the match look interesting he enlivened pro- ceedings by swinging a series of open handed slaps to the negro's face.
 Godfrey retaliated with right cross to the jaw and Draak sailed over the ropes and into the laps of third row spectators. He claimed foul and refused to continue. The fans wanted more so the promoters produced second victim, an un- known introduced as Jack Arnold.
 Arnold lasted three minutes. The fact that Godfrey's meager knowl- edge of wrestling proved sufficient to win without the necessity of using boxing tactics gave rise to the sus- picion that Arr old may be the null ti-named chayffeur.
 New Lease of Life
 Wrestling promoters welcome Gcdfrey's entrance into the game. Just at present both the Londos- McMillan and George-So eircuses need new talent. Fans are tired of the "ring- around -the-rosy" competition and the trust leaders have been seeking a new challenger. If Godfrey lines up with one of the trusts he is virtually certain to be built up to championship match.

Law Forcing Rendition

"A Law requiring holders Of vendor
lien notes to plead ana prove thar
such notes had been rendered for
taxation before the holders can
obtain a court judgment against
property, is the suggestion OF Nj.
H. Hall. Cameron county attorney,
as a measure to tighten the tax
burden on the people.
Such a law would enable collec-
ton OF taxes on vast intangible
holdings which are not rendered for
taxation nov as required By law.
Collection OF this tax would aug
ment the valuation rolls to such
an extent that a sizeable reduction
could be made IN the tax rate al
ever the state. Hall believes.
Used as Club
The effect of the proposed law
would be that holders Of such
notes would be forced 70 render
them for taxation. or they would
be unable TO collect on judgments
when the property holder or maker
defaults in payments. 1t would be
an effective club to force rendition

qujres that holders OF the notes

Il extremely difficult for assessors

ers attempt to conceal them. Pay
ment Of taxes by the holder OF the
property and also by holders OF

the state supreme court has ruled.
Unfair, Hall Says
The manifest injustneSs OF our
present system Hall says. is
made apparent by the common oc-
curence of a small landowner who
undertakes to buy property at a
price OF, say $4,000. The purchaser
pays down 81 900 cash. and ex-
ecutes vendor lien notes for the
balance Of $1,000. This purchaser.
who really owns only a part Of
the property IN question must pay
taxes on il all while the holder OF
the $1,000 note. having something
which he can. and usually does.
hide, pays no taxes on his equity
IN the land. Hall said.
This proposed bill will smoke
the noteholders out like smoking
a 'poSsum out OF a sycamore tree.
because II he ever wants TO COL
sect his note IN court. he will have
to prove that II had been rendered
regularly for taxation, the county
attorney stated.
Halls suggestion Is timely. as
Governor Ross Sterling used "in-
tangible assets as "a part Of his
campaign plank and the moot

how to reduce taxation for the

the farmer gets nothing but empty
promises. Under the law | am
proposing, the law makers will have
an opportunity TO show Us where
they really stand on this question. Z
Hall declared.
Hall plans to study the Law from
ali angles and If he finds 1t feasible
IN all respects to make an effort
&c have It passed by the state
legislature. The law would not be
confined to vendor liens but would
extend TO notes secured by any
form Of lien.
