THIS IS NOT
A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT

DE it far from us 70 join the ranks
of savfours of the country, but with
the passage Of the four billion dol
lar relief bill, meaning ire issuance Of
$4,000, ,OOO, 900 worth Of federal bonds,
we are again awakened 20 the fact that
tIss country Is tempting history to repeat
itself.
In the OIden days feudeI lord lived
on the earnings OF the people within has
domain. He couId collect only at har-
vest time and he frequently needed money
20 tide him Over.' more prosperous
baron agreed TO loan him nhQney-for
consideration. That "consideEation" was
@e0uenfIy so burdensome that the lords
went tn war with each other when pay
ment time came around. else the people
refused 90 pay the burtensome taxes
and revoIted.
Then an organized system of govern
nent established a uniform rate Of "con-
sideratiOn which was called interest"
When public debt grows large that
the interest Is greater than the economic
earning power OF the people, either the
government n overthrown and the debt
di-avowed or nations go TO war TO settle
their accounts. That is history known TO
every eighth grade school child.
The administration has tlswarted every
move toward initiation. including cur
rency based on silver But it has become
apparent that initiation is as inevitable
as the coming OF the morrow. For the
ostensfbIe purpose OF rehhbiIifatinR In
dustry the government is in fact building
a further barrier against industrial re-
cOverv bv the issuance of an additional
fou billions dollars worth Of bonds,
hringSug the federal bond issue mp to
THIRTY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
The mOnied peOple-whO should be
bearing the brunt of taxatiOn--are nut
ting their funds into these TAX-EX-
ENFPT bonds. The government is paying

terest. The rich are living the taxes

and loan it to the government at 2%
and the government p0urs it into the rat

Why government currency, backed by

Out of this we must arrive at some

REAL RECORD FOR PITCHERS
 TO SHOOT AT
By FRITZ HOWELL

Associated Press Sports Writer)
 WOOSTER, O., Jan. 24.-Three major league baseball records-one in batting, one in pitching and one in fielding-that's the record of Guy Hockey of Woster, who be- lieves that present day hurlers don't work enough to keep in shape to pitch effectively.
 Hecker has passed the 70-year mark, and did his playing a half century ago, but his mark of seven runs scored in one game still the few that grace the annals of the national game, and his feat of going through game at first base without a putout or assist is one that can be equalled but not bet tered.
 The veteran did his stuff with the Louisville club in the old Am erican association, from 1882 to 1891, when that loop was major circuit. His playing days over, he turned to the grocery business for a while, and then became an oil man. He came here for an oil con- cern nine years ago, but has been retired for the last four years sf- ter suffering serious injuries in .n auto accident.
 Until recently Hecker hai. three gold medals which told of his three diamond records, but he sold the insignias last summer wher the government issued a call for gold of any nature. He still has a gold watch. given him by admirins fans, and says he will never part with it.
 It was in Louisville. Aug. Is, 1886 that Hecker pitched the ball game in which he set the scoring record of seven runs. Louisville won the contest 22-5, Hecker allowing foui hits, walking four and striking out the same number. Three of Heck CTS seven runs were homers, anc his share of the box score shows

KEEPER SAYS COAST LEAGUE
 TO BE FASTER

SEATTLE, Jan. 24.-All popped up over the prospect of faster and stronger clubs in the Pacific Coast League circuit for 1885, Bill Klep- per President of the Seattle Base ball Club, has returned to Seattle from the scheduled meeting in San Francisco.
 Everything is shaping up beau tifully for the coming season and from the talk of the meeting I ex- pect the league to be wells balanced and considerably stronger in '35 than it was in '34, said Klepper as he pulled his derby low on his head to guard his bald pate from the chilly breezes.
 The big league connections that Sacramento nd Oakland have made will help those clubs mater ally. Portland will be stronger. And, forget it not, Seattle will be strong CT. The old race will be hotter next season than it was last, sure
  enough"
 According to the Seattle boss, the new split week series, which will be featured on the 1885 schedule, will cost the league $15000 more than under the old idea of play ing full week against each club.
 The extra expense of the slpit series idea couse me to talk against it, but when all the other directors seemed to want it I voted in favor. I believe it will add interest, but it must add $15,0O0 worth to give he league a chance to break even. That additional sum will go for travelling expenses to carry out the scheme"
 One thing Klepper is not worried about. That is the loss of balls during the practice season at San ta Barbara. During his trip south klepper made an inspection of the new training field at Santa Bar bara. Here is what he found: Left field fence 330 feet from the plate; right field fence 365 feet from the plate; center field fence so far away it's days trip by auto from he plate.
 If we can uncover a hitter who can pound the ball over the fence at Santa Barbara he will be worth the price of the balls he loses, . chirped Klepper. The boss reports the field as half completed and one of the best on the southern training circuit.
 No deals are in sight for the immediate present. according to klepper, but he admits he is in the market for a good pitcher or two if the chance bobs up to annex any real talent to his present col- lection of chuckers. Klepper ex- poets to remain in Seattle until shortly before the opening of the spring practice season in March.

Despite determined third-quar- ter rally by their foes, the Doug las Bremen opened their play in the City Basketball League for this final half when they defeated Ju- neau High School at Douglas Nat atorium last night, 27 to 24.
 So, today, as a result of that victory, the acroSs-the-C hannel lads are tied for the circuit lead with the Juneau Bremen and the DeMolays. None has been beaten, although the latter two clubs have played one more game than Doug las.
 Douglas stepped into a first guar ter lead of 6-to-2, and held that lead in the face of a thrilling prep rally in the latter stages of the contest. The winners led at half time, 14-9; and at the third quar- ter by but 21-19.
 Leading the winners was tricky Rex Fox, who swished the twine for some Il points Angus Gair, at center, showed flashes of the form which made him highly -touted player several seasons ago as he gathered eight markers. Tauno Neimi also had eight for Douglas Dutch Behrends, forward, was best for the preps, with six tallies.
 The game was rough, with g fouls being called by officials E. E Engstrom and Chuck Whyte. Gair and Hank M e a d e, prep center were busted on four personal fouls while Behrends was disqualified for unnecessary roughness in the third quarter.
