REFORESTAT|ON
ARMY CURBS
D.C.POLO
By GINO SINH

ny "AANO OAVAA
Believe it or not, the ReforeS-
tation Army has more or less put
the quietus on polo activity In
Washington.
This is how it works. Many
Army officers crack polo players.
stationed at Fort Myer, the War
Department and other regular
Army posts, have been called out
to take charge Of a Civilian Con-
servation Corps unit in the field.
Out Of the 20 or so crack polo
players who made up the three
Third Cavalry teams at Fort Myer
last year, Fellows, Greens and
Whites, only 13 are still at the
post, and any one of these may
be called out for reforestation
duty on six-hour notice.
The Sixteenth Field Artillery
team, also stationed at Fort Myer,
has only seven men on hand out
of the IL who made up its Red
and Blue teams during the 1882
season.
The three War Department
aggregationS lost so much Of their
talent, that they did not even try
to reorganize for the current sea-
son.
Hope to Stage Series
While all hopes have not been
abandoned of staging the annual
Argentine Cup Series, which has
attracted the leading teams in
the Middle Atlantic regions, there
is only slim chance that it will
be held.
The same applies to the annual
Fort Myer invitation high and
low goal fall tournaments. How
ever, there is a slightly better
chance that the latter event will
be held than the Argentine
Trophy test. Fort Myer has sew.
eral makeshift teams indulging
in workouts whenever the occar
sion offers.
If a definite line can be oh.
tanned by September as to the de"
gree Of permanency at the post Of
| officers who are polo players, q
curtailed tournament may be ar.
ranged.
The two National Guard teams,
Fauquier Loudoun Marshall, OF
Middleburg, and the 10th Field
Artillery, Of Baltimore, may b
invited to play, as the National
Guards have not yet been called
for reforestation duties. War
Department may be able to pro-
vide an entry, and so may the
Quantico Marines and Fort
Humphreys, all Of whom had sew.
eral teams in the field last year.
No Expense to U. S.
Polo playing among the Army
officers entails no expenses to
the Government and is in ac-
cordance with it's requirement.
that officers keep in physical
trim. All the equipment, shirts.
hats, mallets and balls, and even
the upkeep of the polo field, are
at the personal expenses of the
playing officers themselves.
The horses used in the matches
belong to the Army and are fed.
stabbed and groomed, anyway.
What's more, polo playing is good
training for the ponies and helps
to keep them in good condition.
Officers, anxious to WELD the
mallet, are hopeful that some
plan will be adopted whereby
they will get a chance to indulge
in their favorite pastime. Spec.
tators who have congregated in
large numbers to witness the
stirring matches on the Potomac
polo oval each summer, are ann.
ious to see more of them.
A veteran officer stated:
"MObilizing the ReforestatiOn
Army is Keeping us buster than
we were in war times. A bit Of
polo would be a welcome re-
taxation"

Fishing Regulations
Changed by SwensOn

Because drouth and low water
levels are endangering fish life II
certain waters this winter, State
Game and Fish Commissioner Thoralf
Swenson Wednesday issued orders
opening two lakes and three rivers
for fishing until February %.
simultaneously, the commissioner
ordered that all commercial fishing
licenses issued by the state game and
fish department during the year 1888
shall expire on Dec. 81, 1888.
Commissioner Swenson also ordered
that no trapping Of muskrats be per-
mitted In Brush Lake in Mclean
county and Lake Metigoshe in Botti-
reau county during the season Of
!933-34.
Affected by the fish order were
the following waters: Powers Lake.
in Burke county; Lake Margaret III
Mclean county: and the Sheyenne,
James, and Mouse rivers which he de-
clared to be open to all kinds of fish.
by any means except by the use of
explosives during the period from
the date of this order including Feb
ruary %. 1894 Fish taken under
this order shall be for personal use
only and not for commercial purposes,
SWenson said.

Volleyball Players
Will Meet Tonight

Volleyball enthusiasts In the city
will meet at the World War Memorial
building at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday
evening to organize their program for
the coming winter.
The memorial building will furnish
balls, nets and other building equip
ment to be used in the volleyball pro-
gram, according to e. NJ. Davis,
building superintendent.
Paul O. Netland, Boy Scout cxecu-
tive, will assist in organizing the vol
leyball groups.
More than 80 men who expect to
play basketball this year at the me-
mortal building attended an organi-
zation meeting Tuesday night.
Tentative plans were made for a
city league, with five teams already
having signified their intentions Of
entering the circuit.
Practice games will be played up
until the middle Of December, when
league play will begin.
Basketball sessions are planned on
Monday and Thursday nights, be-
ginning at Z O'Clock, Davis said.
Only one basketball league is PLAN
ned this year, Davis said, and it is
probable that the most able players
will be seeded to make the teams
more equal in strength. The city had
two leagues last season.

STATEPRESENTING
ITS SIDE Of 500
Line TAX BATTLE
Baker Offers Exhibits to Show
Railroad System Is Not
Overassessed

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 25.-(F)-The
state has begun presenting Its side Of
the 500 Line tax case In federal court
here. The railroad is attempting to
have Is per cent of its 1891 tax and
80 per cent Of Its 1882 tax set aside

Lyman Baker, for 10 years q men,
Der Of the North Dakota tax COM

in charge of the assessment of rail-
road and public utilities properties,

To show there is no fixed method
Of arriving at railroad property val
uation.
To show assessments Of 500 prop
erty have been decreased during the
last Is years along with other proper
ties.
TO show the 500 Line has been as
sessed fairly in proportion to other
railroads.
To show the operating income Of
the 500 Line has not decreased in re-
cent years in the same proportion as
the farm income has.

general, who has been representing
the state in the action. said he in
tends to, complete his side Of the case

VIEWS OF WALLACE
ON IMITATION Are
STILL UNCHANGED
Agricultural Chief Says More
Money Alone Will Not Solve
Farm Problem

Washington, Oct. 25.-(R-Nothing
in presidential declarations on none
tary policy has changed the views Of
Secretary Wallace and other farm
adjustment officials that production
control is a high road back to agri-
cultural prosperity.
In fact. the secretary has reiterated
that initiation, by whatever means
accomplished, would not alone solve
the problems of the farmer. He has
favored controlled initiation but be-
lieves even that would not remove the
disparity between agricultural prices
and industrial prices.
The removal of this disparity is the
principal aim Of the farm admins
tration and the programs outlined
for cotton, wheat, corn, hogs, tobacco
and other crops are directed toward
that end.
In their essence, the plans for the
principal commodities named are
simple. The consumer is taxed. The
money raised is used to pay the
grower for reducing his production
In theory. this hoists the price re-
ceived by the farmer toward the level
of those received for industrial prod
ucts. Production control gets rid Of
surpluses that have kept prices down
Difficult in Practice
Complications arose when theory
was translated into practice and one
Of the chief concerns Of administra-
ton officials now Is that their pro-
gram will be bent out Of shape before
it really has a chance to show
whether it works or not.
An example is the 1O-cent loan or
a pound to cotton producers. This
was not on the original agenda o.
the farm administration but the sit.
uation grew SO desperate the ster
was taken. In effect. the loan tend.
to be minimum price peg, although
some officials object to that inter
probation.
Immediately, the cry went up from
corn and hog producers. from Cattle
growers, from wheat farmers ane
others for similar action. Several o.
these commodities are being studiet
with view to loans but the admin
istration doesn't want to have to pu
a minimum price peg into effec
every time q commodity goes down
ward-whatever the cause.
Meanwhile. the demand for liftinl
the processing tax already in effec
Is lessening bit, officials say. Thes'
demands have centered chiefly OF
the cotton tax but at no time ha.
there been any indication that tn
levy would be abolished. The process
ing tax is the heart Of the farm act
The levies are depended upon t,
raise the money-hundreds Of mil
lions-with which to pay for tn
elimination of millions Of acres from
production.

LEMKE APPROVES
REFINANCING Of
STATEFARML0ANS
Believes Farmers Should Take
Advantage Of Government Set
up to Save Their Homes

Reflnanctng OF loans by the Bank
Of North Dakota through the federal
land bank and the land loan commits
sioner has the approval of Congress-
man William Lemke, he declared In
Bismarck Wednesday. Dissatisfaction
with the national recovery program
by farmers and others, Lemke said,
would force the Democratic admins
tration into sensible initiation" Of
the currency through the Patman
soldiers bonus bill and the Frazier bill
which he predicted would be passed
at the next session of congress.
1.-The farm Is still the best place to
live when you are broke" he said,
land farmers should take advantage
of the laws permitting the refinancing
of loans and save their homes. The
law is not what the farmers want and
not what they are entitled to, but 1t
is toe hold. Later on we will get
the strange hold-the Frazier bill and
the cost-of-production bill. Then and
not until then will there be real pros
perity.
Commenting on President Roose-
velt's national recovery program he
said: 1.-THE trouble with the national
administration is that it is surround
ed by too many co-eds-over Scholas-
tic professors, reared in the atmos-
phere of New York coupon clippers.
That Is why we didn't get the Fraz-
Ter bill in the special session of Con-
gress.
'Brainless Brain Trust
1.-THE president has now discovered
that the so-called, self-styled brain
trust is in fact brainless. That Is
why I am confident we will get the
Frazier bill in the next session of
congress or else there will be q lot
Of congressman who will be private
citizens after the next election" said
Lemke. 1.-The farmers are now on the
war path and mean business and /
am sure will starve Wall Street and
Washington into submission. The
domination Of Wall Street and the in
ternational bankers must and will for
ever cease or this government will
collapse.
The people of this nation will
stand no longer for the damnable
manipulation of the currency and the
so-called gold standard foisted upon
them by the international bankers,
who have in the past controlled, d.
rectly or indirectly, the government
Of the United States" he continued.
Il repeat that the influence Of the
house of Morgan and the internation-
al bankers which has corrupted and
corroded the public morals, must be
destroyed. Washington and the poll
ticians throughout this nation must
take notice that the people are thor
oughly aroused and mean business"
Lemke declined to comment on state
politics or the recent resignation Of
state officials. II haven't the time to
pay much attention to q purely local
matter" he asserted. Il have too
many things of national Importance
to think about rather than meddling
in state issues which, after all, are
not my business" he said.
