TOBACCO TAXES
(St Paul Daily NeWS.)

(St. Paul DAILY NeWS.)
Now it is "a 20 per cent state levy
on cigarets, tobacco, cigars, cigaret
paper, etc. that is proposed.
Behind the proposal, perhaps. is the
misplaced hope that if the penalty for
using tobacco is made heavy enough
people will give up the habit. Our
experience with the prohibition law
should have demonstrated the fallacy
of this theory, but evidently the zeal
OTIS have not learned that neither laws
nor taxes will govern our personal
rights and habits.
The Daily News has never been
able to see any relationship between
morals and tobacco. Smoking, as we
see it, is no more a sin than riding
a bicycle or reading a book.
1t is far more immoral, We believe.
for the state to place heavy, un-
justified tax on the poor man than for
the poor man to use tobacco.
A 20 per cent tax on tobacco is
sales tax in one of it's worst forms.
1t penalties the man on the street.
the man least able to afford it. He is
already paying 6 cents to the govern
ment on every package of cigarets he
smokes. The proposed law would
force him to pay 3 cents more. II
would place equally heavy burdens
on the man who smokes scent cigars
and most smokers are using this
kind these days.
A tax of this type will give rise tt
a new kind of lawbreaker-the to-
bacco bOotlegger. Further disrespect
for the law will develop. Neighborins

Two local golfers, Bob Stead,
of Chevy Chase Club, and George
p. James, Columbia Country
Club, have been elected as Off
GERS of the Maryland State Golf
Association which held its an
nual meeting at the Baltimore
Country Club last night.
Stead was chosen as vice presi'
dent while James was named as
a vice president Of the Washing

MED membership to public park
clubs which means their exclusion
from State handicaps and Subse-
duent entry to the national anna
teur qualifying rounds. Also to
participate in any State tourna-
ments. ...
Incumbent officers we're re-
elected at the meeting Of the

Dissatisfied with the indifferent
performances, though they have

the G. w. lineup, with Wick
Parrack at forward and Captain
OTIS Zahn and Wayne Chambers
at guards will remain UNCHANGED.
Wally Krug, coach at Gallau.
Diet, has encountered tough sled
ding with green material this
season and, as a result, the Ken

that, the Gallaudet boys are de-
termined to make Coach Forrest

May Be Boomerang

After all, from a purely busi-
ness and economic standpoint,
It would not be good jlslgment
on the part Of baseball in gen.

such a step, in the long run,
would act as a boomerang
against the financial health Of
the game.

to expect that most of the rabid

Fireman, Save

Golfers
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Fireman, save my golf clubs!"
was the plea as flames threatened
to destroy the clubhouse at the
Rock Greek Park course yesterday
morn.
Those who had come for their
daily golf and those drawn by the
changing fire engines aided in the
salvaging work. They rushed into
the menaced structure, grabbed
whatever articles they could lay
hands on and carried these to
safety.
Save Equipment
Working hastily, these Samarl'
tans, besides the firemen and
staff at the clubhouse, soon
cleared the place of golf equip
ment and other fixtures that were
endangered.

Sonally attended to saving Nick
Altrock'S clubs. Think of the
calamity if the fire had swallowed
Nick'S pet putter! Why, the re.
turn Of normal times wouldn't
have consoled him.
Radio Escapes Fire
"Jug" Owens, Graham's aide
saved his radio, while Al Price
pro at Rock Greek, was seen dash
ing from the place with three
necktieS and two sweaters, his per

damage will amount to $4,000,
fully covered by insurance. Re

RICE COLTS 36
HOLES IN DAY

Wouldn't it be swell If Sam
Rice could do his baseball train
ing on a golf course? Then he
could remain here until the sea-
sons opener and have a glorious
time.
The veteran outfielder Of the
Griffmen took advantage IF yes
terday's spring like weather and
played 36 holes OF golf over the
Indian Spring Club course, all IN
the afternoon.
Sticking right on his heels over
the whole 36 holes was Eddie
Bean, who works in the business
office of the baseball club. Bean
demonstrated he can handle a
golf stick right smartly by scoring
"a, two under par, on the third
nine.
No major league player, Babe
Ruth and Sam Byrd included,
idolizes golf any more than Rice,
who perhaps would become a
star golfer if he could give all
his time to the game. AS it Is,
Rice practically lives on local
golf courses during the winter
and shoots between IS and 80
consistently which places him in
the good golfers class.
Visiting Indian Spring yester-
day was George Molloy, the Dis
trict public links champion. He
was the guest Of Bob Folliard'
whose growing girth forced him
to halt after nine holes.

A Blaze of Glory

The Yankees from time to
time have left the impression
that renewing Babes con-
tract entailed something Of a
gamble on their part, but as yet
Ruth has not left them out on
Q limb in any of their business
dealings.
Not even Ruth claims he can
go on forever and forever and
we imagine that if he feels at
this time he should demand
remuneration in keeping with
his fame as well as the hard
times, he also feels he will not
fall down on his end of the bar
gain.
Ruth has never impressed
close observers as being the type
Of ballplayer who will hang
onto the playing end of the
game until his efforts become
the target for pity.
Ruth isn't the kind of show.
man who will want to toddle
around the ball field in senile
1nfirmity.
When he goes out, he will
probably go in a blaze Of glory,
like Bobby Jones when he re-
tired from competition, rather
than to hang on and hang on
until he is only a shadow of
his former self.
And while he has slowed up
some, and while he also has to
be saved where conditions
justify, he is still baSeball's
greatest magnet, and he's got a
more than fair claim for re-
muneration in keeping with his
overpowering background as
well as his present state Of base
ball expectancy.

Fifteen per cent salary cut, or
somewhere between 10 and is,
taken more or less voluntarily
or without too great a squawk
would neither undignify the esti-

NAVY MOVING D ATTACK TIE PACIFIC
 COAST: WAR GAME

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6, A United States Navy armada play ing the part of theoretical attack CTS in the annual war games, nov ed on the far flung Pacific coast last night.
 Cruisers, destroyers and airplane carriers of the attacking fleet were enroute from Honolulu where last week they won a theoretical vic tory over defending forces.
 Had the Honolulu maneuver been an actual attack instead of a Navy exercise, Pearl Harbor, the billion dollar Honolulu Navy Yard would have been destroyed by air plane bombs.
