WASHINGTON HEADLINERS|
A Militant Rich Man Who'd Tax The Wealthy Couzens

By FRANK /. WELLER
,isy Associated l'rennl


WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
wealthiest member of the United
States senate spends most of his
time trying to make rich men bear
the major share of federal taxa
ton.
His theory of assessing accord
ing to the ability to bear tax" has
kept James Joseph Couzens of
Michigan in ''row" with someone
almost since the day he was APP
pointed to the senate in 1922.
He likes it. He counts his sue
fcess by the number of scraps ne
has had-because he wins most of
them.
Couzens' determined characters
istics date from early life. They
got him expelled from high school
during his first year, and "just to
prove he didn't give a dang" he
walked over to a prosperous indus
try and announced he could and
would take charge of the books.
He resigned as business manager
of the Ford Motor company in
1915 because che and Henry diff
fered" regarding the war. Within
a year he had organized the Bank
of Detroit.
Kicked Off Trolley
Elected mayor in 1918, he was
kicked off a Detroit street car for
refusing to pay an increased fare
demanded by the company. By
1922 he had obtained enough vot-
ing support to have the city take
over the line at cost of $19,850,-
900.
Couzens was fined 500 and
sentenced to 30 days in Jail for
contempt Of court when, as a po-
lice commissioner, he refused to
honor releases for underworld
characters who were being freed
by professional bondsmen, as rap
idly as arrested. An appeal court
sresetSea tho verdict and criticized
the judge.
The senator's most celebrated
"row" was with Andrew W., Mel
lon. then secretary of the treas
ury. Couzens insisted the govern
ment should not reduce the tax
rate on the very wealthy classes
or the large incomes. Mellon coun-
tered with a proposal to levy
greater burden on smaller incomes
ITO broaden the tax base"
Got $1,000, 900 Refund
A history of the battle says
Couzens exposed conditions by
which it was possible for the
treasury to give favors, reduce
taxes and otherwise aid political
and business friends. The depart
ment moved to make the senator
pay about $11,0 100000 allegedly
due for non payment of taxes in
1910. When the smoke cleared.
Couzens not only was indicated
but the treasury refunded him
81. 100000 he had overpaid in
taxes.

BY DEAN CROMWELL U. $. c. Track Coach

In general, 1 classify sprintcrs as noaters and drivers, although there are those who are combination of the two.
 F'loaters depend moro on leg speed than on drive. They arc smoother and more natural run ners. Examples Of this effortlcss type of Ralph Metcalf and Jesse Owens. interschoiastic champion last year and now an Ohio State Freshman.
 Floaters hit only the surpace Of the track and their spikes hardly kick out the dirt. If you are this type, the texture of the track will not mean much to you.
 An example of this was pcrcy Williams. double winner in the sprints for Canada in the 1928 Olympic games in Amsterdam. On the newly constructed Amsterdam track, n loose, mushy cindcr path, the light footed Williams was not bothered by conditions while many others had trouble with their foot ing.
 Drivers depend on hitting the ffack with more force for then speed, and consequently require arm footing. As Il rule they use much more vigorous arm action and, in many cases, Il higher knee action. An outstanding example Of q driving runner was Charley Pad dock, who at one time held all world records from 100 To 300 meters.
 However. you don't have to he definitely of one type or the other. Many Of the speediest sprinters have been q combination. Eddie Toian has the smoothest of tho foater and also the high knee and fast leg action of the driver. Frank Wykoff ulso combined both types Tolan was light footed like the other great negro stars. Mctcalt and owens, but used vigorous arm action.
