was easily defeated.
As passed by the house, the Dill is
not quite what the President asked
for. Briefly summarized, it increases
taxes on individual incomes over $780,
600. substitutes a graduated corpor-
ation-income tax for the present fiat
levy, puts new taxes on inheritances
and gifts in addition to those already
borne by estates and gifts, imposes
new taxes of 5 to 20 per cent on tex
cess" profits of corporations.
1t is designed to raise revenue esti-
mated at between S250,0O0000 and
S2700O0,0O0. Its warmest friends
couldn't explain how this would do
much in the way of bringing about
what the President calls wider dis
tribution of wealth." or in the way OF
balancing the budget.
The measure was handed on to the
senate with dubious prospects. 1t was
expected the senate finance committee
would study it for about a week, and
publicans and not a few Democrats
We're preparing TO fight it. Senator
w. w. Barbour of New Jersey, Repub-
lican, fired an opening gun with
statement in which he said: Votes,
and votes alone, are the objective of
this half-baked measure"
Declaring the bill has no relation
TO making income meet outgo, but is
intended to accomplish some weird
social objective" Barbour continued:
what this bill actually attempts is
TO climb upon that hard-ridden steed,
"Share- the-Wealth," and ride him away
while the demagogues who have
pressed him sorely in the past are look
ing in the other direction.
THE bill should be laid away until
the next session of congress when the
budget for the ensuing year will be
presented. Then, in the light of care
fully appropriated federal moneys, we
can determine how much revenue will
be needed to operate.
Taxes can be levied deliberately as
a true revenue measure. Any other
program is not good business and is
not good government"
One change made by the house
against the Presidents wishes involved
corporations gifts to charities Mr..
Roosevelt was firmly against letting
corporations deduct from their taxable
income any gifts to charity. Just as
firmly the house voted to let them
deduct up to per cent of their in
comes.

was entirely unacceptable" However,
hope was not abandoned for there was
a chance that notifications could be
made that would satisfy the demands
of the Italians.
The league council finally, in brief
public session, set aside Ethiopia's de-
mand for immediate action and agreed
to undertake a general examination
of the whole matter a month hence.
1t provided for resumption of arbi-
tration of the clash at Ualual, stipu-
lating that the arbitrator should not
attempt to pass on the ownership of
the territory ON which the clash Oc-
curred-which is the root of the mat
ter.
The arbitrator must finish their
work or abandon it before September

the result to the council by Septem-

Emperor Halle Selassie met his
chieftains in council at Adds Ababa
and they told him it might be now too
late to prevent war for their tens of
thousands of fighters were eager for
hostilities to begin and could hardly
be restrained. The emperor, how
ever, sought to hold the chiefs back.
At the same time he issued another
defiant note informing the world that
Ethiopia never would accept an Italian
or other mandate, adding: mo amount
ton would compensate for the loss of
independence"
Mussolini seized control of Italy's
metal and fuel imports for use in the

GOODWIN STOPPED BY AL M'COY IN
 BOSTON BATTLE

Boston, March 23-(UP)-Al Mccoy, fast-stepping, hard-hitting Waterville, Me-, light heavyweight continued his drive for 8 title bout with Champion Bob Oiin, stopping Bob Goodwin of Florida in the eighth round of their scheduled 10-round bout at Boston Garden last night.
 Severely beaten and unable to defend himself, Goodwin was draped over the ropes when the bout was halted. Goodwin was really prepared for the end in the seventh round when he was floored for a nine- count, and came out for the eighth staggering. Mccoy, who fought with an infected arm, cast all dis cretio nto the wind, and swarmed all over his opponent, repeatedly driving him to the ropes with two listed barrages. A towel fiuttered into the ring just as Referee Poe O'Connor stepped in to end the bout.
 Twice before Mccoy scored knockdowns, once in the fourth for count of nine and again in the sixth for short count.
 Though Goodwin, who weighed 173 against I'll for Mccoy, won only the first and fifth rounds, he proved to be- one of the gamest boxers ever to appear in the Gar den. Stung and hurt repeatedly, he courageously fought back until he was unable to- lift his hands. In the eight-round semi-final, Cocoa Kid, 146, Hartford, Conn,
 outpointed Werther Arcelli, l46. Boston.

GOOD GOLF
 BiH KHsh

When you hit a golf ball always remember to Keep back of the ball." This is a golf tip which is always taken up wrong. Keeping back of the ball doesn't mean hold ing the b o dy still on the downswing as most golfers think. The body goes wit h the swing, but never ahead of it, as you will notice, if you care to take the trouble, that all good golfers are back of the ball when they hit. Stop ping the body, or locking the left side, as we call it, is a fata eMor which loses both distance and direction. There must be looseness or pliabil- ity in the body as there is in the hands and arms. But for all that, the turn of the body must keep back of the down swing. It is all a matter of balance through the swing and there is nothing stiff or rigid in the right sort of bal ance.
 The best way to play a game of golf is to always haveS a lazy attitude of the game. This will keep you from hurrying the swing and will develop smoothness to all your shots. The thought of hurry is bad, for instance, if you are late at the first tee, where others are waiting, there is always the tendency to start with a fast swing and your shot is not what you ex- >pected. If the thought of lazy attitude, remains in your mind, you will find that the round usually will be one of the best.
