PETERSBURG COACH DISCUSSES
WkANELL BASKETBALL TEAM
Petersburg Press

Last Sunday afternoon the local
high school basketball squad dis
embarked from the Galveston, just,
nome from a hurried trip to
Wrangeli where the Petersburg
cagers suffered two defeats at the
snappy Wrangen aggregation. The
squad left Thursday noon and played
on FRIDAY and Saturday nights.
In the first tilt the local boys
seemed entirely outclassed. With
Lando out OF the lineup with a
twisted knee and dinner and Phillips
paying their first interscholastic
game the Petersburg defense present
ed little difficulty to the fast break
ing Wrangell five. Again and again
they cleared a man under the bas-
ket and it was no fault of the visi-
tors that the score did not climb to
a 80 or 40 instead of the 22-11
tally which ended the game. Play
was rough and the Petersburg boys,
trained to a no contact game, were
continually puzzled at official de-
.isions.
Saturday nights game saw de-
termined Petersburg squad take the
floor. Phillips sustained a badly
wrenched foot in the first game,
leaving a further hole in the defense.
Martens was shifted to a guard
berth.
An early game squirt gave Wran-
CELL an point lead. Petersburg took
time out, checking up on defense,
and from then on played their OPP
ponents point for point. Realizing
that they were facing different in
terpretations on the charging and
the blocking rules the Petersburg
boys met roughness with roughness.
Play was fast and furious but the
visitors were unable to cut down
the early lead. The final whsle
found Wrangell on the long end of a
1913 score.
Coach Vincent says that despite
the double loss he is encouraged
over the Wrangell trip. "of course, -
he stated, I'VE are short on material
and experience but several develop
ments of the trip were entirely
worth while. Wrangell has a fast
breaking smooth bunch with plenty

BOOING THAT is PRAISE

T~HERE isn't much question that Al Smith
l. has lost good deal of the popularity
which was his few years ago. If he wants
to regain it, however, all he has to do is get
his name Kissed and booed few more times
by the henchmen of Tammany Hall
When the Tammany speakers bureau
bestowed hearty razzberry on the name Of
Mr.. Smith, the attendant ward-heelers unin-
tentionally gave the gentleman quite COM
pliment.
The nature of the compliment becomes ap-
parent when you reflect that Immediately
afterward they rose and cheered heartily at
a mention of the name of former Mayor
Jimmy Walker.
To be Missed by the braves of Tammany is
to get an accolade, of a sort, which is really
worth getting The man who displeases Tam
many is pretty apt to be man who has
done something in the interest Of the public
at large.

It is unethical to make accusa-

of course, to be regretted and the

WE CAN'T LET GO

THE gentleman who caught bear by the
l. tail and who found hanging on a try
ing proposition. but didn't dare let go. be-
cause things would be very much worse if
he did. seems to have had nothing on the
present administration in its civil works
program.
The administration has been spending
something like s5OO0OOOO a week on civil
works employment. At that rate the exist
ing fund will be exhausted by the middle of
February.
The President has asked congress to vote
$3.50, 100000 more to carry the job along; yet it
would require more than twice that sum to
take the program through May l, if the pres
ent rate of operations is maintained.
Right here the administration would seem
to have wide-open chance to get itself into
a lot of grief
The tough part of it is that, back of those
stupendous sums of money, there is stu
pendous number of human beings who will
get cruel and tragic establishment if the
problem is not handled just so. Also, though
it might be mean to mention the fact, they
are all voters.
Already the CWA is showing signs of
creaking. Money is beginning to run short.
Hours of work have been reduced In some
localities men are being laid off.
The theory, of course, is that the CWA
program can be tapered off as private busi-
ness revives sufficiently to absorb the men
who are discharged But that time hardly
seems to have arrived
One locality, where CWA men are being
laid off, reports that applications for relief
have been increasing of late It would take
an optimist to believe that prosperity will
return so fast that private business can alb
serb all 100000 CWA men by next May
The administration has on its hands pro-
gram which can not be continued indefinitely.
but which can not be cut off suddenly with
out causing profound disappointment to a
great many people
These CWA men had not had jobs for
long tine-for years, in MANY casesAbe-
fore the government put them to work.
Many of them had been on the relief rolls.
To cut them adrift before new Jobs are
open would be cruel
so what? Well, the administration would
seem to be up against one of it's biggest
tests. 1t may not exactly be between the
devil and the deep blue sea, but it at least
can understand the emotions which beset the

SHOTGUN INDEPENDENCE
A sCRIPPs-H NEWsPAPEK)

TNHE injustice Of the rejected Hawes-
Cutting Philippine Law is multiplied by
the latest move Of the senate committee on
territories. A subcommittee has been in
structed to present resolution reviving until
next October the law which lapsed last week.
That would be unobjectionable if the pur-
pose were to facilitate negotiations with the
F1lpinos for agreement on a fair independence
measure. But the purpose IS the opposite of
that. It is to force the Filipinos either to
accept independence on unfair terms or to give
up all hopes Of any kind of independence
This is made very clear by the statement
Of Chairman Willard Tydings explaining the
senate committees action as follows:
There will be no new Philippine indie
pendence legislation at this session of con-
greSs. Therefore, it is the committees desire
to give the Filipnos one more chance to &C
cept or reject the Hawes- Cutting bill
If, after the new elections, the legislature
again fails to take action, or acts adversely
under the provisions Of the bill. 1t will be
notice TO congress that the Fflipinos do not
desire independence and desire to continue
under their present status"
Senator Tydings and his committee know
very well that the Philippine legislature re-
Jected the Hawes-Cutting act last October.
and they know equally well that the F1lipinos
do desire independence and do not desire con-
tinuance of their present status.
Senator Tydings and his committee know
that large portion of the American press
favoring Philippine independence has con-
demned the Hawes-Cutting bill as a measure
dictated in part by beet-sugar and other
selfish lobbyists, a measure which would re-
duce the islands to beggary and make
mockery of independence.
Senator Tydings and his committee know
that representative American groups favorinp
independence. such as the special committee
Of the Foreign Policy Association and World
Peace Foundation. have demanded sveenino
revision Of the Hawes-Cutting terms in order
to protect the rights of the FiIipinos. the
honor of the United States and the peace of
the Pacific
Senators have right to any opinion they
wish on the subject of Philippine indie
perdence
But they have no right to put a gun TO
the Filipino's temple and say. Either iump
into the sea or swear that you do not want
freedom"
1t is hard to believe that congress, or the
Roosevelt administration, or the American peo-
pie will support the policy of the senate COM
mittee Indeed, the Tydings statement is so
unprecedented, We doubt that the senate COM
mittee itself will push this policy urhen If hoe

RAILROADS ON TRIAL

ME Roosevelt administration is sincerely
trying to help the railroads help them
selves.
And, even after the report of Federal 20.
ordinator Joseph Eastman, administrator of
the emergency railroad act, it is evident that
effort is going on for a while yet. If. finally.
II doesn't work. the alternative is government
ownership and operation.
This phase Of the first Eastman report.
Just submitted to the interstate commerce
commission and the President, got big notices
in the newspapers. But. as an expression of
Mr.. Eastman's opinion, it wasn't new.
Although he is still trying to give the
railroads a break" to help them help them
selves, he hasn't moved one whit from his
position in favor of government ownership
and operation. He approaches this in the
practical way. He holds that the railroads
are only masquerading as a private industry,
and that government regulation goes into their
most detailed operations. Such hybrid ar
rangement, he says. must eventually be re-
placed with public ownership and public
operation. This, the co-ordinator believes is
the inevitable result.
IN this alone, rallrOaQ managers VIII md
little solace. But they may be comforted by
the fact that Mr.. Eastman finds that this
is not the time for the government to take
over the roads; that government finances do
not now permit it, and that government pol
icies. regarding these and competing carriers.
are not yet definitely fixed
His further recommendation that even
tually grand scale" consultations might be
enforced upon the carriers probably will be
no more popular with the managers.
And so, meanwhile. what -?
Meanwhile, the COORDINATION would rely
chiefly upon the emergency act he is now adj
ministering Changes may be made in that;
he suggests now that its labor restrictions are
unreasonable. and should be amended He
will report later and more fully on this.
In our opinion whether such changes
should be made will depend not only upon
business recovery. but also upon whether Mr..
Eastmans hint that the salvage of employees"
should be a charge against savings can be
worked out.
SO it's still a matter Of the railroads help
ing themselves with government help.

HE HAS 1T IN FOR
GOVERNOR M'NUTT

BY J. Brook.
After reading the letter written to
your paper by E. w Pratt and pub
lished Jan. %, I am just wondering
if Mr.. Pratt is an inmate of the
seven SteepleS, as l believe these
people who are unfortunate in not
being able to see the light, and such
an assertion from there about the
way Governor McNutt has leSsened
the burden on taxpayers would
sound all right. I dare say that
any taxpayer in Indiana will dis
agree with E. w. Pratt.
Real estate tax instead of being
cut in half has been raised about
40 per cent, not only increased rates
but increased valuations as well.
1 don't understand how any per-
son who has been paying taxes
could make such a silly assertion
Governor McNutt not only has in
creased property tax but has made
legal all sorts Of new taxes which
every one must pay.
So, with facing actualitieS, I be-
lieve this E. w. Pratt must be some
where out of the knowing and God
forbid that this Paul v. McNutt ever
will be President of the United
States.
One good thing is that he does
not stand a ghost of a chance and
I believe he will be extremely lucky
to serve out his time as Governor.
