Speaker Joins in Demand for
Balanced Budget; General
! Levy Backed by Smoot

Speaker John n. Garner de-
clared today he would favor a
general manufacturers excise
if necessary to balance the

Disclaiming any intention of
attempting to dictate to the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee, Garner reiterated his plea
for Congressional action to end
the Treasury deficit in the belief
1t will promote business recovery.
SmOOt For Sales Levy
A general sales tax offers 'The

Committee; declared today. I
Commenting upon the estimate
of Chairman Collier of the House
Ways and Means Committee that

be imposed, Smoot urged sales

A series of events over the
Christmas weekend caused House
leaders to decide upon prompt &C

greatly increased the chances OF
enactment of a sales, tax.
Decision of Senate Democratic

revenue situation back before the

Garner issued his call for a
balanced budget and Chairman
Collier CD of Mississippi called
the Ways and Means Committee
into session January 3 to consider

Garner affirmed the stand taken
last year when he said balanced

the method of taxation.
Emphatic denial was made by
Collier that he had received in

welt to enact a budget-balancing
sales tax. He said he had no word

Bill to Be Rewritten

Supreme Court would not SET
aside any measure legalizing it.
Bill to Be Rewritten
In order to present a more
favorable constitutional issue to
the courts, the Judiciary Commit
tee very likely will rewrite the
Collier bill. Its new form prob
ably will be to repeal all sections
of the Volstead act touching upon
alcoholic content of liquors and
insert a new provision in the law
legalizing beer while prohibiting
the manufacture, sale and trans
portation of all other beverages
containing more than :one-half Of
one per cent alcohol.
Senate lawyers declare Congress
has the right to prohibit use and
sale of whisky. Such a law. they
contended, would legaliZe all beer
$50 far as the Federal Govern
ment is concerned-and its con-
stitutionality could not be at
tackled in the courts. If empow'
cred to legalize all beer, the Sen
ators hold, theyNcan legalize 80

to consider its verdict in the
case of Samuel Insult, former
utilities magnate, whom the
Illinois authorities are attempt

on charges Of embezzlement
and larceny.
A declaration that insult could
not be convicted in Illinois was
voiced by his attorney, CristoS
Ladas, during the extradition pro-
ceedings. He said:

laws of the State of Illinois.
You will find that the charges
against my client are not con-

In a small courtroom jammed
to capacity, Ladas insisted that
the accusations against insult do
not come within the scope Of the
Greco-American extradition treaty.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-As the
result of the acquisition of Out

Of Bill Terry, manager of the New

here, and who gave spectators
many thrills.
Little Catawba, with it's Charlie
Moran and its Little Caesar"
the chap who played practically
every position on his team in the
game against G. W., proved a
colorful combination.
Duquesne COIOrful
Duquesne, with it's little Larry
Sullivan, was another colorful
combination and one of the best
coached elevens to appear here
during the 1882 season. Little
Hansen, of N. D. State, was an
other diminutive star.
Little William and Mary Col
lege, with it's Palese and several
other little fellows, proved a draw
ing card and a colorful combina-
ton. This eleven, too, proved to
be one of the best coached teams
appearing in Washington in 1882.
Oklahoma'S little Alb Walker
gave the folks thrills when the
Sooners played G. W., but Big
Bob Dunlap outshone Walker in
the Thanksgiving Day game.
Little Wake Forest was an
other attractive eleven to show
here.
Alabama, Vanderbilt, Western
Maryland, Carnegie Tech and
Oklahoma probably were the best
teams to play in Washington dur
ing the season of 1882. John
Cain, an all-America back if
there ever was one, performed
brilliantly, as did the whole Ala
bama eleven, including Tom
Hupke. Vandy had sort of an
off day when it tackled Mary
land, but Dixie" Roberts flashed
his stuff in fine fashion as did
also Leyendecker and Gracey.
Many Individual Stars
There were many other in
dividual stars who showed their
wares here. Topping them all,
insofar as efficacy is concerned,
was Shepherd, of Western Mary
land, and his mate, Hoppe, a
backfield man, made over into a
