n YEw YORK, october l4.--Colum-
nj bias Lou Little. weary Of all
the sectional and technical
a classifications of foot ball, said
today there really are only two kinds
Of foot ball-good and bad.
"All this discussion about Eastern
and Western foot ball, open and closed
foot ball, Warner and Rockne foot ball,
is the bunk" said Little. Its either
good or it's bad"
Little refused to discuss directly the
statement of Matty Bell, Southern
Methodist coach, that Eastern foot ball
Is five years behind time. commenting
II don't want to get into any con-
troversy with Matty or anybody else,
but last weeks record Is pretty clear.
Offers Pitt as Example.
THEY said Francis Schmidt at Ohio
State really had developed some
thing new. He had an intricate, de-
ceptive attack featuring lateral and
forward passing. But Pitt beat them
without using a pass and, after all,
Fordham. which plays conservative foot
ball. did beat Southern Methodist Sat-
urday."
Little questioned Bells theory that
the forward pass will soon replace the
running game as the chief offensive
weapon.
THE success Of the pass depends a
great deal on the threat of the running
game. If you have no effective running
game. it is easy to stop a passing at
tack by putting more men into the
backfield," he said.
Little's best argument against Bells
claim for passing superiority in the
Southwest is one Sid Luckman, a 20
year-old sophomore who learned to
pass in Brooklyn's Prospect Park play
ground.
Hes just a sophomore, but I think
he's one Of the best passers In the
game right now," said Lou. AT any
rate, he's the best I've ever had, and
you'll have to admit Cliff Montgomery
was pretty good"

Fear that the public mind may be some
what confused on the issues involved in the
proposed repeal of the sales tax is at least par
TALLY relieved by the action Of the California
Congress of Parents and Teachers in unanimous
ly opposing repeal at their San Jose session. If
the problem is seen so clearly by the 1000 dele
gates attending the convention it must mean
that the rank and file OF the people have
pretty clear idea Of what is involved.
1t does not mean however, that the repeal
measure necessarily will be defeated There
Is always temptation to vote in favor Of rscind-
any tax when the opportunity is represented.
The idea o. escaping a tax IS a fine lure to the
voter. In the case Of the sales tax this ten
dency should be overcome by the fact that the
measure substitutes the single taxa tax on
land-to offset the losses in revenue. Indeed
it starts the ball rolling for system in which
land oWners-chiefy the farmers-Would pay
all the expenses of state government. One would
think such insanity could not exist in a ballot
proposal seriously initiated yet there It is.
And the danger Of passage lies in the metro
politan centers where great bodies of pople have
paid no tax whatever, and so resent the sales
tax. Not do most OF these voters give thought
to the fact that the substitute single tax would
place an impossible burden on agriculture There
IS plenty Of work TO do 10 defeat the single tax

All the resources Of county equipment
are available to Supervisor Ike Schlat-

The road is being maintained in good

gusto with which the supervisors have
gone at the task deserves commenda-

4 Big Headdche For Congress
4nti.Chain Store Bill Pains
Extremes Marx Controversy 81.

WAsHTNGTON-Th big headache of the
74th Congress-to such few members as try IL
understand its the Patman-Roolnson guam
tity discount bill.
If this so-called 'anti-chain store measure
is passed in any OF its previous proposed forms,
most government experts hope President RooSe-
velt viii veto it and give them chance TO
study the probable effects OF such legislation
on the American people and the American busi-
ness structure.
Hardly anyone except the proponents and
opponents pretend to have grasp OF the bills
ana their claims and counter-claims are as far
apart the ends Of the Pacific Ocean.
Essentially. it is an amendment to the Clay
ton antitrust act which would draStlcaIlY cur
tail if not prohibit special terms granted by
manufacturers to mass purchasers who buy in
huge quantities
Independent merchants - especially retail
and wholesale grocers and druggists - have
brought heavy pressure for the bill hoping
such a law would stop the expansion OF chain
stores.
If the bill passes the House measure will
have to be worked out in conference-as Sen
ator Joe Robinson said in explaining his ac-
ceptance OF any and al amendments offered
in the Senate.
Although it is proposed TO protect small re-
taller from unfair competition such as undue
quantity discounts and other allowance which
mass purchasers sometimes can get from pro
ducers an extreme Interpretation would deprive
One chain store representative testified that
the nations retail food bill would be increased
$3.50 900 600 year, which probably IS an absurd
estimate
Senate and House bills would bar quantity
discounts. would confine allowances for "ad-
vertising" to services actually rendered by buy
ers. and provide against fake brokerage allow
anceS.
The important exemption as to quantity dis
counts would be for discounts based on actual
differences in cost resulting from quantity sales.
But perhaps the biggest battle over interpreta-
ton comes right there.
Burden of proof would be put the seller
and buyer and the problem of showing costs
is SO complex that opponents and some neutral
outsiders say the burden would be an impossible
one
One of the worst features proposed, from
the chain store point of view, is an authoriza-
ton for the Federal Trade Commission to de-
cree ton-quantity discount limit any given
article, meaning that the government could crack
down by limiting the discount rate SO that it
wouldn't increase beyond certain maximum
quantities

Supplementing and complementing

suggests the establishment of an In

Justice. This section Is based upon
the draft for o continental tribunal
