Bay Meadows Has
Poor Attendance

SAN MATEO, Calf, March Is.
UP)-Still confident after three days
of small crowds and meager bet
ting, william P. Kyne, operator of
the Bay Meadows race track, pre-
dicted today that the spring meet
ing at the Beresford oval would
show a profit of ar least 100000
Kyne offered to back his convic-
tons with a sizeable wager but
found no immediate taker.
He blamed weather conditions for
the slim crowds-which on opening
day numbered 10000 and which
dropped to 1000 Wednesday and
Thursday.
Because of rain and cold winds,
the better grade Of horses has re-
manned in the stables, with cheap

CARNERA OUT
FOR VICTORY
BY LAWTON CARVER
United Press Staff Correspondent

CnllSu EseAS Stdll tOlISopoituChs
NEW YORK. March 15 tUR)-Pri-
mo Carnera will enter the Madison
Square garden ring tonight primed
to prove his right to further consid-
Grafton for the heavyweight title he
once held, and favored at TO l or
longer odds to defeat Ray Impellet-
there. the overgrown boy from Cold
Spring, N. Y.
Il was an even money bet today
that the inexperienced Big Imp
would be knocked out within the 10
rounds-scheduled to determine the
immediate future of the biggest men
ever matched.
The odds do not reflect the speed,
boxing skill and right hand punch
ing of Impellettiere, but his fighting
heart is questioned. He perhaps has
the least convincing record ever
brought TO the pugiliStic big time.
The Imps seven bouts have earn
ed him no noteworthy victories. He
has lived up to his early promise
only in spots, and he is not really a
tighter by nature. but a 338-pound
fat boy made over into a fairly
Well-muscled 260-pounder through
five years Of arduous gym work.
With this comparatively meager
equipment he will meet an oppon-
ent who cannot box so well or punch
as hard, but who is experienced and
! game.
For Carnera. the bout offers his
first chance to prove that obituaries
on his pugilistic demise, following
his knockout by Max Baer last June
were premature. He was one of the
proudes5 CHAMPIONS that ever laced
on a glove and is eager to regain
the crown.

IMPORTANT PROBLEM IS FACED.

Admittedly faced with one of the most important problems to come before the 1885 Legislature, com- mittees named from the two Houses yesterday began a survey of existing liquor conditions with view of offering legislation aimed to remedy defects in the present system set up
 Regardless of what law may be there are always objections, but from sentiment voiced by those representing various districts of the Territory there appears to be a well grounded opposition to the current means of handling liquor in Alaska. Already petition has been presented the Senate from group of citizens in Ketchikan asking that changes be made and there appears to be as many views the matter as there are persons who have given the subject thought.
 Territorial stores, the permit system in vogue in Washington Oregon and other States and more general distribution with a high license fee are among proposals under consideration.
 The joint committee. made up of II members of the Legislature, three from the Senate and eight from the House, confronted with com plex situation and it might not be amiss to study carefully the experiences encountered by the Liquor Control Board in it's little more than eight months of operation.
 Gov. John w. Troy, Chairman of the Board, pointed out in his recent message to the Legislature some of the difficulties.
 Most of the troubles that have arisen in con- nection with the sale and distribution of liquor, hard and light wines, have been account of failure in enforcing the laws and regulations" he said
 Again his message read "The Legislature might with profit consider the advisablity of having an Investigating and enforcement organization directly responsible to whatever liquor authority it creates
 On Territorial stores the Chief Executive advises:
 Territorial stores would throw open the
 doors for graft in connection with the sale
 and purchase of liquors. As certainly as
 night follows day, it would lead to charges
 of graft the part of those who might
 be unable to get their goods handled through
 the public dispensaries If it is possible, the
 liquor business ought to be in the hands of
 private individuals to the same extent as the
 grocery hardware, drug any other busi-
 ness.
 The experience of the Liquor Board, though com paratively brief is worthy of honest and thorough consideration The difficulties it encountered are fact: it's recommendations for improvement are based on trial of the past. It should, at least be sufficient as guide post as the Legislators delve into knotty problem.

They Lead Congress.
tNew York world-Telegram)

The Democratic Party leaders in Congress, upon whom President Roosevelt depends to hold the lines are not the real leaders of the legislative wing of the New Deal
 Yet theirs is the difficult mechanical job of di- rect1ng the Administration measures down clear right of way Their strength skill and capacity for leadership are important
 Joe Byrns, of Tennessee, is the new House Speak CT. Precedent and convenient control over Con- gressional campaign funds in the last election helped to promote him from majority leadership to the post which is second in importance only to the Presidency. As party leader under the late Speaker Rainey, Mir Byrns did not display great talents An affabe compromiser, who finds it hard to say No" to friendly colleagues he is fortunate in being teamed this session with man of sterner stuff
 William B. Bankhead, of Alabama, was chosen majority leader because of his ability as par liamentarian and legislator The respect which his colleagues feel for him overcame their prejudice against giving both the Speakership and the leader ship to Southern men,
 Neither Byrns nor Bankhead is progressive But as good party men they go along with the President The real legislative battles for important New Deal reforms, in this session as in the last probably will be led in the House by such men as David j. Lewis, of Maryland and Sam Rayburn, of Texas
 The situation is similar in the Senate Leader Joe Robinson, of Arkansas, and Finance Chairman Pat Harrison, of Mississippi are the party wheel horses They demonstrated in the last two sessions their ability to do the mechanical job on basis of party regularity They men of conservative mold.
 Senators of the type of Wagner, of New York and CoStgan, of Colorado, are the real New Deal leaders on the Democratic side, as on the other side of the aisle are such progressive non-Demo- crats as La Toilette, of Wisconsin, and Norris, of Nebraska.
 Regular party leaders of the two Houses have the power to punish and to reward and therefore to discipline But the real leadership in this session. as in the past sessions. will come from men who have the power to plan for better day and the power to influence others to follow

National Debt.
(seattle Daily Journal of Commerce)

 How much can the Government borrow in the United States? That question is asked and an- swered in the current issue of The United States News. It is stated that many officials thought a year ago that 35 billions of dollars of debt would place strain on the borrowing capacity of the Federal Government.
 Today those officials believe that 50 billion dollars would not represent an excessive Federal debt.
 At present the United States Government owes about 2sh billions. Plans to finance the new pro- gram of jobs for all employabe persons call for the addition of several more billions in the next 1s months.
 This country entered the depression with its National Government in debt slightly over 16 bil- lions. That figure represented decline of about ten billions from the wartime high.
 During the early years of increases in depression debt, the average yearly gains amounted to about 400 millions. Then suddenly they were stepped up to 4000 millions year At the present rate of borrowing the 50000 millions maximum now men, tioned would be reached in about four years.
 Studies of national incomes show that all the earnings of the people in the recent depression have been under 50 billions annually Federal State and city governments combined cost now about IT billions year
 On that basis, the cost if paid out of income would take about 35 cents from each dollar earned by every person in the country each year.
 The Government, of course, can decide as it has done that instead of taxing to take that full 35 cents from every earned dollar, it can borrow money to meet it's expenses. That, so long as lenders ready to let the Government have money it needs only to meet interest and prepare for re- payment.
 At present interest rates a 50 billion debt could be carried for about 1,5OO million year.
 The question is raised concerning how the American debt compares with that of other coun- tries.
 For comparison of that kind the debt must be broken down to per capita basis. When that breakdown is made, it is revealed that when the depression started the national debt amounted to Sl31 for each man, woman and child in the country It now has increased to about $225 and on the basis of estimated expenditures will be about s27O by July l, 1886
 Local and State government debts add 20 billion to the total. When they added, the total be- comes about $37l today and will be about s418 per person in 1886
 England, at the same time, has per capita debt of about $973 France has debt of about $47O while Germany's per capita debt is only s94
 How fast must national debt be paid off? The United States has issued securities payable in twenty years or less. England has some running as high as 99 years It all depends in the final analysis on the faith of the people themselves in their own capacity to pay the necessary taxes.
 Debt, of course, will increase only to the extent that Government outgo exceeds income Some Sem ators contend that if Americans paid taxes com parable to those paid by British the Federal income would more than pay for everything the Government does.
