olic University Dutch Bergman
meets Holy Cross at Worcester.
v. P. I. will be too strong for
Maryland, which has an inexpe-
rienced team, and should win by
a comfortable margin. Georgetown
is stronger than anticipated, how
ever, it's reserve power is sadly
lacking and it appears that the
game will be closely contested.
George Washington gets its first
real test of the season at North
Dakota. Jack West, the head
coach at State, has had great sue
cess with his football teams ana
George Washington will have to
turn on all it's power to snatch a
victory from this team.
Holy Cross, regarded as one OF
the leading football teams OF the
East, has another great squad
and exemplified its power OF at
tack by burying st. Michael's Col
lege under an avalanche of touch
downs last Saturday at Worcester
Mass, home of the Crusaders.
Granting that Catholic University
has a chance to win this game,
this opportunity will only present
itself if the team rises to heights
of perfection, not only IN the
science of fundamentals, block
ing. charging, tackling, ETC., but
it must be imbued with a spirit
of conquest. which in the last
analysis wins many football
games.
Catholic University has pur-
chased a grid-graph. The grid
graph is an electric producing
board which reenacts in a dra-
matte and exciting manner a
football game being played at a
distant point. Play-by-play re-
ports of the game are used, such
reports being furnished by the
telegraph companies. The Holy
Cross Catholic University football
game will be reproduced on the
grid-graph Saturday afternoon in
the Catholic University gym
nasium. The game is scheduled
to start at 2:30 p. m, and the ad-
mission will be Is cents.
The Washington times., 1933-10-04

The Cards will depend on team
work and perfection of funda-
mental play to overcome the Cru
saders, admittedly one of the fin
est squads Holy Cross has ever
had.
A New Offense
Today C. U. takes up various
phases of an offense especially
designed to overcome Holy Cross
defense. This offense is some
what departure from the usual
run of C. U. attack. Holy Cross
will encounter some difficulty in
halting it, e. U. coaches feel.
That the Cards will have their
full strength on the field against

a few minor injuries remain to
be cleared up.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Few recent tax events have attracted
more attention than the refusal of the
Oliver Mining Company (steel trust)
to pay the JaSt half of its real estate
taxes in st. Louis county. Its county
taxes average about $4,000 900 year.
Excessive spending by the range COM
munities has been the factor. forcing
these high taxes. The trouble is the
range towns have tied themselves up
to fixed charges in the way of municipal
and school expenses such that they
cannot get away from them except by
retrenchments that will take years to
complete. The courts may compel the
mining company to pay the tax, which
it terms excessive and confiscatory,
but if they do, the company viii prob
ably curtail operations, claiming it is
unable to operate at profit, and this
will accent the range troubles in other
ways because if the mines do not open
up. there is unemployment and de-
pressed business for everybody in the
range country. The remedy of course
is to cut out the reckless extravaganza
that has characterized range spending

ANOTHER CHOICE ON THE
RANGE.
(st. Paul Pioneer Press, July 20, 1881

In defending the sale of Rural Credit
bureau bonds to raise funds to lend
to Northern Minnesota municipalities,
Governor Olson declared large part
of the public expenditures by municip-
alitieS in northern Minnesota results
from the necessity of feeding and
Sheltering persons thrown out of en-
ployment by the mining companies who
now refuse to pay their taxes" Unless
these municipalities can borrow, &C
cording to the Governors statement,
They will be obliged to choose between
permitting their residents to Starve,
closing the schools and depriving their
children of an education, or of SUBJ
hitting to the demands of the mining
companies"
There is, however, another choice
open to these northern communities
which apparently has not occurred
either to these municipal officials or to
Governor Olson. They might diminish
their extraordinary and extravagant
expenditures of public funds for un-
necessary purposes. This expedient
would release for relief purposes funds
now being squandered and would di-
minish levies to a point where mining
companies could pay their taxes 1t
would make possible, in some COM
munitieS, re-opening of mines where
operators have been literally driven
out by excessive taxes.
These communities might not be in
financial trouble if their payrolls had
not corried such items as those on the
January list of Hibbing's expenditures
OF which the following are samples:
florist at $235 monthly with five assist
ants at $40 month each; ZOO keeper
at $3.50 month; superintendent of
skating Kinks at $225 month; bowling
alley pin settlers at $3.50 month. No
wonder Hibbing's per capita tax levy
is 1892 compared with an average of
$l2.91 for Minnesota cities of the same
class off the iron range. And no
wonder range communities do not have
enough money to meet their relief
situation.
Unemployed persons cannot be al
lowed to suffer for the past mistakes of
reckless officials. At the same time,
neither the Governor, nor the COM
munitieS whose doubtful bonds he
recommends as a state investment
ought to expect the more thrifty
municipalities of the state to support
northern cities and counties in the
extravagant and wasteful style to
which they have been accustomed.
