~ NE objection to the sales tax,
and the one which Is heard
most often, is that it will be
~ shifted to the consumer. The
gasoline tax is cited as q
shining example of that principle. AS
matter of fact, economists differ on
the question. While most of them be-
lieve that in the long run 1t Is the con-
sumer who will pay the largest part of
the tax, the estimated period necessary
to accomplish that result varies widely.
II is generally agreed that for q time
the tax cannot be shifted.
Several factors must be taken into
consideration in determining the pro-
portion of the tax which is shifted
Strangely enough, the greater monopoly
firm has on its product, the more diff
ficult it is to pass the tax along The
reason for this is that such a firm has
already set the price to bring in the
largest profit. Any increase In the
price will reduce that profit, and If the
price is not increased the entire tax
will have to be absorbed In neither
event can the tax be shifted to any
extent.
Factors Of Tax Shift.
Whether or not the tax can be shifted
depends also upon the extent of the
demand, upon the ability of the manu-
facturer to decrease the cost per unit
when his output increases and upon
competitive conditions The subject is
highly technical, but enough has been
said 10 show that the authorities are
not agreed as to what part of the sales
tax is borne by the manufacturer and
what part by the consumer
At any rate, 1t should be remembered
that under the bill prepared by the
Ways and Means Committee, necessities
are not taxed. While it is unfortunate
that things, other than necessities,
should be increased, even. slightly. IN

AKRON'S MOOR|NG
DELAYED BY FOG
DirigibIe Awaits Favorable

E. Rosenoahl of the Dirigible Akron
chose TO cruise over this Far West
Naval Air Base today, awaiting more
favorable atmospheric conditions after
transcontinental flight that extended
two days longer than estimated and
cost two lives.
Here, at the southern tip of San
Francisco Bay, red light on a 77-foot
temporary mooring mast marked the
goal for which it set out from Lake
hurst, N. j., May 8.
After a l3-hour flight from San
Diego, where the worlds largest airship
stopped to replenish a fuel supply de-
pleted in battling storms over South
west Texas. the Akron arrived at San
Francisco shortly after midnight.

As the craft passed over San Fran
cisco her lights were hardly visible
through a low curtain of fog.
Two tiny scout planes released over
the Pacific landed here late last night.
Two officers and "a members of the
crew arrived earlier by airplane from
Camp Kearny, San Diego. They were
ordered here to lend their experience

third, Charles Cowart, clung to the rope
with the aid of q wooden crosspiece and
after two hours was dragged to safety
through hatch.
Keep Awake Dancing.
Many persons assembled to see the
airship planned to keep awake by dane

become deficits when the Akron failed
TO arrive on schedule, did a good

The Akron followed the coast on her
flight from Southern California and
used navigation lights to aid in guiding
her on the course. She turned inland

CENTRAL UNION
AND BULLDOGS ]
TANCLE TONIGHT

Bitter rivals on the sports field
for many years past, Central Union
and Calexico will add another chap
ter to their athletic history tonight
when their football teams meet on
the border gridiron at 1880.
Although Brawiey recently de-
feated Calexico 6 to 0, the Bull
dogs showed a brand of football
which indicates that none. of the
teams in the valley league will ride
over them roughshod.
Central Union is a favorite, at
least in its own town, to win to-
nights game principally because OF
the power of the local eleven and
the heavy reserve supply which
stands ready to answer the call of
the coach whel. occasion arises.
Practically all of the Spartans'
regulars are in good condition for
tonight's game. Several members OF
the second team, who have been
showing up well in scrimmage dur
ing this weeks practice, will be
certain to get into action.
While not making any prediction
on the outcome of the game, Coach
Armstrong stated today that his
team is ready to play heads up
football and give Calexico battle
every inch of the way.
Thus far Central has had COM
paratively easy time with its OPP
ponents, with the single exception
of the Yuma team, but the Spar

REVISED RULES
BY JOHN LAW
Former NOtre Dame Football
Captain

written for United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The foot
ball fatality list for the first half
of the present season reveals
Strikingly the necessity of proper
preparation for athletes playing
this game.
/ Eighteen deaths have resulted
directly or indirectly from football
injuries throughout the nation,
yet not single fatality came from
a college game. Virtually all thu
deaths originated in prep schools
or sand lot contests.
While the new rule changes I'M
queStionably have done much to
eliminate the hazards of intercol-
legiate play, as they are being
strictly enforced in college COM
petition, they are by no means en-
tirely responsible for the lop-sided
death list between college and nom
college contests.
Lack of proper preparation
among athletes participating in
prep school and sand lot COMPETE
ton always is a big factor.
Without more attention to pre-
paration, this toll will increase an
rually because more and more
young chaps are playing the game.
AS in traffic accidents where more
people are being exposed to haz-
ards than 10 years ago because
more people are driving automo-
biles, SO with football. Incompe-
tent, green drivers and unprepar-
ed players increase the fatalities.
Poorly Trained
Semi-professional football teams,
almost without exception, are
poorly trained physically and men,
tally to avoid accident risks; high
school boys frequently are not pre-
pared physically to meet the siren
ueus requirements.
Neck and spine injuries are too
numerous. The boys too often
tackle improperly-head on, neck
relaxed. Minor coaches apparent
~ fail to realize the necessity Of
studying the human anatomy.
They should make head-on tack

This preparation can be gained
in wider intra-mural programs Of
athletics for youngsters. The boy
can mature to his proper playing
level by early participation and
proper training. The Notre Dame
system of interhall athletics, now
over so years old, is one reason for
Notre Danes amazing record of
not one fatality in 40 years of in
tercollegite competition.
Ex-college players should volun-

could do much to cut down the

IMPROVEMENT IN

FOR SEPTEMBER

The business situation in Sep
TENDER remained generally cheer
ing and trade and industry adj
vanced, according to the October
report of Frank Greene, editor of
Bradstreets, received at the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce.
Greene publishes the monthly bust
ness map of the country in Nations
Business, the publication of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce.
September saw the trade and in
dustrial divisions of the business
army both report and make prog
ress," states Greene. THE finan-
cial and commodity price division
showed less uniformity; the stock
market fell off slightly in prices
and sales, while the price index in
dicated weakness in farm products.
Semi-finished lines reported most
gains. On balance, the situation
maintained most of its earlier
promise and the general tone was
better, even # the Nations Bust
ness map, in which comparisons are
made with a year ago, has not
frightened much"
The report goes on to state that
the bank situation improved in
September, with fewer suspensions
and more assumptions than at any
time since last spring. In the re-
tail trade there was potent, if tenn
porary, stimulant and the wholesale
trade was more cheerful. Septem-
Der business insolVencieS were the
lighteSt of the year and showed a
decrease from last year, while Ii

the annual influx of winter resi-
dents. Letters from health seekers
