FIF TIL TITLE
IN OFF|NG
FOR TECH
BY GARRETT WATERS

It's the Tech-Central game
now.
Yes, sir, next Tuesday this
annual clash will take place at
Central Stadium for the enter
tainment of the large scholastic
populace.
And the meeting will mark
Techs last obstacle in its path
for its fifth consecutive grid
championship.
What a series, what a series,
what q series this years has
been to Tech so far! First fig
ured to be weak and uncertain
the Manual Trainers have kept
right on winning as of other
years, with the result that an,
other title is within the team'S 5
grasp
Central is the last obstacle. An
obstacle, yes, but only from a
schedule standpoint, by the dope
Tech, as usual, will be the favorite
and should win easier than that
If the teams performances OF the
past have meant anything. Cen
trail should not cause a great deal
of trouble because the Cogglns.
coached eleven has not looked
strong at all in pre-games this
season.
Annual Meeting
Tech and Central have been
meeting a very long time, by the
way. Their first clash dates back
to 1902 when Central won by a
23-to6 count that year.
Since then Tech has run up a
total of 13 victories against Cen.
trails II. Last year the Manual
Trainers won by a 12-to-0@score,
setting a record for winning most
games in a row, four.
During this traditional series
there have been five ties. The
first occurred in 1904, when a
6-6 game was played. The fol
lowing year another deadlock
resulted, this time the score end
ing 90. The next tie game came
In 1911, when the two teams
again battled without scoring.
Then came TT deadlock in
1920, followed by the last tie
game in 1926-another Of those
90 affairs.
The last time Central was able
to defeat Tech was in 1927. The
MT. Pleasanters hung up an in
spired 12-to-O victory that year,
but everything has been wrong
since. In 1928 Tech got real re-
venge by plastering 48-to-G
on to Central. The season of
1929 saw Central a little stronger
but not quite strong enough, as
Tech won again, IL to 6. In 1880
Tech once more won, the score
being 18 to 0. Finally Coach
Hardell's warriors made it four
in a row by last years l2to-O
triumph.
Central Hoping
Naturally, Central hopes to
spring a surprise in this years
engagement, if it possibly can.
The teams spirit is unusually
high and both Coach Coggins
and the players have been point
ing for the game. It will be
Central's second appearance in
the series this year.
Following is the complete rec

since 1902. Only one year did
the teams miss meeting each

CITY WIPES SLATE
OF MUNICIPAL TAX
Ownership of Utilities Proves Solu.
ton to Payment of Current
Expenses.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, July 20.-An Okla
homa town-Ponca City-joined yester-
day the select circle of municipalities
that have cast off the tax yoke.
There will be no municipal tax levy
next year. the POnca CITY commlSSlou-
erS announced.
In neighboring Kansas. two cities
Chanute and Colby are tax Tree; q
third. lola, expects to achieve the goal
in 1884, and half a dozen other towns
are pairing levieS with the hope OF
reaching the vanishing point in the not
too-distant future.
The answer? Profits from municipal
utilities, economy all down the line and
strict budgeting.
The Ponca City commissioners have
been reducing taxes despite the fact
that municipal water and light rates
have been cut twice in two years.
Last years municipal tax was an
8-mill-on- -a-dollar sinking fund levy.
This year the s138,7l4 appropriation
will be paid with other municipal ex-
penses from the profits OF the utilities.
Chanute, a town of 10000 population.
for the third successive year has adopted
a budget which will require no munich
pal tax. The budget not only includes
the ordinary city expenses. but appro-
pirates $4,000 for public improvements
to furnish employment for the city's
iobless next Winter.
Chanute's maximum gas rate is so
cents a thousand. maximum electric
rate is cents kilowatt and maximum
water rate Is Is cents hundred cubic
feet. The city reduced salaries of its
employees approximately per cent as
an additional safeguard against the ne
cessity of a tax levy.

laps of the Empire delegates today

through the corridors where the con-

Referring to the United States, Can

Declared Chance to Break.
There is always that tendency to
be absorbed by a bigger country. This
ought to be Canada'S chance to break
away"
The Canadians, although they are
prepared to open the conference to-
morrow with a proposal for an eco
nomic alignment of one-thlrd OF the
earth's population and one-fourth OF
its known land surface against the re
mainder, seemed unprepared Tor the
bluntness of Bruce.
His pronouncenent carried them
back to 1911 when the Canadian con-
serVatives cried the!- fears OF anneNa-

ministration to institute reciprocal
trade between the United States and

Abolition of Heavy Mobile Ar
tiIIery Issue Is Blocking
Adjournment.
PARLEY DECLARATION
WILL BE MADE TODAY
Agreement Reached That Substan.
tial Reduction in World Arma-
ments Shall Be Effected.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, July 20.-The Big -Four
powers of the World Disarmament Con-
ference. the United States, France
Great Britain and Italy, met today in
another attempt to break the deadlock
on the question of abolition of heavy
mobile artillery, which has prevented
the adoption of a resolution to adjourn
The United States delegation was
holding out for total abolition of these
weapons.
The adjournment resolution. without
any provision for this last obstacle, was
published and will be submitted late
this afternoon to the general commits
sion on disarmament.
At the last minute there was written
in clause providing that all heavy
land guns of calibers between certain
limits shall be limited in number.
Five Divisions.
AS drawn by Sir John Simon and
Premier Benes of Czechoslovakia, and
approved by the delegations of the four
powers, the declaration has five divis-
ions:
The first assert that the conference
decides, guided by the general princi-
Piles underlying President Hoover's dis
armament declaration, "a that a sub
stantial reduction in world armaments
shall be effected, to be applied by a
general convention alike to land and
naval armaments, and (b) that the
primary objective shall be to reduce
means Of attack"
Division two lists the points on which
the conference. in concluding its first
prohibition of air attacks against civil
ian populations; abolition of all aerial
bombardment. subject to certain reSer-
vations. which include regulation Of
civil aircraft with full publicity; limita-
ton Of maximum tonnage of tanks and
prohibition Of chemical, meteorological
and incendiary warfare.
Work to Be Continued.
Third division. stipulating that the
Conference Bureau shall continue work
during the adjournment, prepares for
the second phase of the conference
The text. which makes it difficult to
determine whether the conference &C
cepts the principle of reduction of effec-
tive troops. says: THE questions which
will form the subject of such examina-
ton ,by the Conference Bureau are
the following:
Il. Electives. strict limitation
and real reduction Of effectives shall
be brought about"
Budget limitations and the trade and
manufacture of arms are other mat
tiers which the bureau will examine.
The conference asks that the naval
powers conduct negotiations concern
ing naval reductions during the ad-
journment.
A fourth division reads: "The present
resolution in no way prejudices the
attitude of the conference toward any
more comprehensive measures of dis
armament, or toward political proposals
submitted by the various delegations" :"
This keeps alive the issue of the
German equality in the right to arm,
and the French demand for security.
A final division recommends that the
governments renew for four months the
present armaments truce.

Second. Without increasing the cost
of running a business.
Third. without necessitating in
creased floor space or additional ma
chlnery or equipment.
Fourth. Without increasing produc-
tion.
Fifth. With compensation to wage
earners Of shorter hours more than

1.-The principle is flexible as applied
through plans for each type of busi-
ness Technicians have proved the
principle applicable to all varieties of
conditions in individual businesses.
Benjamin Franklin told the Ameri-
can people in a time of national crisis
that their salvation lay not in gov
ernment, but In themselves. The New
Hampshire principle shows the people,
from wage earners through executives
to stockholders, how to provide their
own salvation in the present crisis"
