Salisbury Man Breaks
Leg In Unusual Way

Frank Gallimore, salesman for
the Southern Public Utilities COM
pany, is suffering from a broken leg
as the result of an unusual accident
late Monday evening.
While horseback riding in the
city about dusk, an automobile
swerved into the main road from a
side road, and to avoid a head-on
collision, Baltimore pulled his horse
sharply to the side. The horse
partly slipped off a small bank, and
in struggling to right himself, CALI
more was jammed against the fend-
of the auto, and his leg broken
in several places. He is a patient
in the Rowan general hospital.

REALITIES are few
Most of us live in a dream world,
in which we think that there is
some magic process, if only we
could find it, which would make us
happy and prosperous. When
something unpleasant happens we

come by finding some new incanta-
ton which will work the right
magic to set everything straight
again.
Few people are courageous
enough to face realities. The reali-
ties of life are terrifying to those
who have been brought up to be-

going to look out for them. They
are not at all frightful to the few
who realize that nothing in life is

politicians see red. Nevertheless,
some of our most important sources
of revenue are from the sales taxes,
already in force.
There are revenue stamps on
every bottle of liquor, every barrel
of beer, every pack of playing
cards, every pack of cigarettes or
box of cigars. Shares of stock cam
not be legally transferred without
sticking e stamps on them.
Everyone is familiar with the sales
tax on gasoline.
The only reason why stamp or
sales taxes are not imposed upon
flour, potatoes, shoes, hats and
canned goods, is the fear of the
politicians in power that the ordi-
nary man would thus be forced to
realize that he is paying taxes, and
would vote the politicians who i'm
posed them out of office. There
any other reason at all.

TAXES time to halt
| don't know of any community,
county or state in which taxes have
not gone up in the past two o.
three years. Certainly there is
none in which taxes are not mater
tally higher than they were ten
years ago. Eve Just got my tax
bills for 1884, and perhaps Pm
unduly concerned; but l can't help
coming back to the belief I have
long cherished, that sooner or later
we've got to abandon the tax on
capital and find other ard more
equitable ways of raising money
with which to run our various gov
ernments.
The real estate property tax is a
tax on capital. Nothing like it ex-
lists anywhere else in the world, SO
far as I am Informed. 1t was ad-
opted in America in the pioneer
days when there wasn't anything
else much, to tax except land. |
like, the English system much bet
ter. There property is taxed OF the
basis of what it earns-the income
tax carried down to the income of
everybody who owns a piece of
property that is rented. Of course,
there are other taxes, but they do
mot constitute a lien on real pro-
perty.
Property taxes can't go much
higher, in most parts of the nation,
without stirring up a revolt against
the present system.

the average

INCOMES the average
The average income in the Unit
ed States is said, by Henry Wallace
in his new book, to be about or
under $500 a year. That includ-
les everybody who works for a liv-
ing-except farmers. He figures
that the average farm income has
been cut down from about $1,000
a year to something like $500 a
year.
Of course, Mr. Wallace is talk
ing about cash incomes. Out of
his $500 a year the industrial
worker has to pay for food and
lodging. If he has $500 a year
left he is either a financial wizard
or just plumb lucky. But the
farmer. out of his $500 cash in
come, has to pay taxes and, like as
not, mortgage interest, to say moth
ing of insurance and other items
he can't work out" so it's about
as broad as it is long.
The fallacy, it seems to me, lies
i'm comparing the farmer with the
wage-earner. The proper COM
parison is between the farmer and
the business man, owner of his own
business. The farmer is a capital
ist, and subject to the risks hat all
capital is subject to. That isn't to
say that he doesn't have plenty of
trouble, but at the worst he is not
in such imminent danger of starva-
ton as the unemployed industrial
worker.
| don't know how many kinds
lof Internal Revenue stamps there
are, but it strikes me that the east
est and most painless way for any
government to collect taxes is by
making it illegal to sell anything
that doesn't bear a Government
stamp. | know that's merely an
other way of saying SALES tax"

Joe Thibodeau. guard; Pat Deenihan,
tackle, and Malcolm Luebkert, quar-
terback, are the letter winners avail
able. Mitchell also is counting
heavily upon Frey Mccoy, reserve end
last year, and Jim Boyle, sophomore
back, who saw some action in 1888.
There are, in addition, four husky
kids, who came out for the team last
year for the first time, who are
young, but may develop to a point
where they will be valuable, and If
they do Mitchell figures the Purple
will enjoy a fairly successful season.
The quartet is Hechmer, Fenwick,

How They Size Up.


TN BRIEF, the outlook for the four
big local schools seems to be about
as follows:
George Washington-Much better
squad than is generally thought. with
good men to replace those lost last
season. Should be just as good a
team and perhaps better than the
1888 product.
Georgetown-Good material for a
first-string eleven, but much will de-
pend on its luck in regard to in
juries Should be stronger than last
season and will begin to get back
in the old Georgetown habit OF win
ming games.
Catholic University-Younger group
of players not so experienced as some
of those of last years team, but more
enthusiasm and possibly better pull
together spirit. Team ought to be
just as good as any the Brooklanders
have turned out. One or two backs
will be brilliant.
Maryland-Most of last years squad
back and better than usual group
from the freshman squad. Better
material generally and more of it
gives the Old Liners a far brighter
outlook than in either of the last two
seasons.

| A NNAPOLIS, Md, September g.
" After making the first cut
~ in the varsity squad by de-

group, Coach Tom Hamilton of the
Navy team advanced his charges to
some fast and snappy scrimmaging
this afternoon. He made many
changes during the practice and gave
no indication of the lineup of the
first string.
Using the new line shift and wing
formations and handling a wet ball,
backs fumbled considerably, but ex-
hibited speed and power. Special in
terest was taken in the work of a
number of the promising plebes of
last season.
In the first back field used, Dick
Pratt was at quarter, Swede Larsen
and Al Wrigley at the halves, and
Archie Soucek, q hard driver from
the plebes Of last year, at full. Larsen,
change fullback last year, is likely to
be shifted to half, while Soucek may

In the next combination, signals
were called by Fay Willsie, fast half
on the plebes last year, while Bill
Clark was at fullback and Tommy
King and George Whitmyer at the
halves. Another change of interest
was the use of Dick Bull, big change
tackle of last year, at end. He is the
best place kicker on the squad and
generally was called in after a touch
down to make the extra point.
Dick Pratt, Washington boy, is one
of the two veteran quarterbacks this
year, Holly Lee being the other Pratt,
who did some good work last year,
particularly against Pittsburgh, ap-
pears to be a conner this time and
probably will bark signals when the

Grid Gossip

N 70 CHANGE has as yet been
M announced for the future OF
VI foot ball at Johns Hopkins
i The Baltimoreans officially
stated some time ago that they
would schedule no games for 1895,
but would confine their efforts to
intercollegiate competition in other
sports and to intramural contests.
For the University of Maryland this
means the ending Of one of the oldest
rivalries in the South, the game with
Hopkins having been played since
1892.
Word from North Carolina Is that
the university bearing the name of
that State is exceedingly pleased with
Carl Snavely, new head coach.
Pop Warner said last Fall that
Snavely's Bucknell team, the day it
played Warmers eleven, was one of
the finest combinations in the
country.
Western Maryland seems pretty
sure to turn out another of the best
teams in the section. The Green
and Gold collegianS, under the clever
Dick Harlow, have been about as
formidable as any other school in
these parts.
Earl Widmyer of Maryland In all
probability will be the fastest back
in foot ball this season. No other
back is capable of coming anywhere
close to him in speed, and once he
gets in the open it Is likely to be
just too bad for the opposing secondary
defense.
