High Gridders
Speed Up
Drills
BY GARRETT WATERS

Football business starts in earn
est with the high school teams this
week. chief thoughts Of both
players and coaches now will be
the interhigh series. which, as
usual, promises its customary
fireworks.
For the past two or three weeks,
elementary drills have been held
the kinks have been wrinkled
out. and hard knocks gradually
introduced.
Early season favorite to cop the
annual series Is Central-the Mt.
tIeasanters are expected to con-
Cnue as first choice since the
team is packed full Of topnotch
material and is big and heavy.
Eastern and Tech are figured to
give the Blue and White the most
trouble. They proved this kind of
opposition last year, and should
De even more stubborn this fall.
Both elevens are improved, not to
mention ambitious to take Cen.
trails place in the sun.
Three Games Listed
All three teams play games this
week. Central meets Gonzaga at
the Central Stadium on Friday.
Tech engages George Washington
High at Alexandria the same day.
Eastern swings into action Satur-
day, meeting Episcopal at Episco-
pal.
The contests should give fans
every sort of opportunity to get
q line on whichever is their favor
lite, though Gonzaga, at this early
date, is not figured to give Cen
trail the most stubborn opposition
in the world.
Techs game will be its second
of the season. The Trainers played
Baltimore City College Saturday.
The contest Friday should be Sc
we're test, since George Washing
ton High is an old and bitter rival
Of Techs, and each year puts out
its best effort to win.
Eastern, too, should experience
trouble against Episcopal . J.. the
Alexandria boys develop splendid
teams every season at that in
stitution and this campaign
should be no exception ditto
the game, even at this early stage.
Aggressive Team
Speaking of Gonzaga and
we were further back Coach
Orrel Mitchell promises to have
another of his aggressive teams
this fall :. the mentor has the
happy faculty of taking practi-
cally nothing and making some
thing out of his huge collection
of candidates.
An improved footballer at Con-
zaga this year is Jimmy Walsh,
end Jimmy is the tall and
lanky type >. which aids him in
reaching for passes and get
ting his man when tackling {.
Walsh played for the first time
in 1885 but now looms as one
of Coach Mitchell'S real depend
ableS.

JUR|ST BARES
OUTSIDE PAY

Evidence gathered in an execu.
tive session of the House Appro-
priations subcommittee will be
used in conference to bolster the
House managers in their conten.
ton that District employees receiv.
ing $2,400 from the District should
not be allowed to hold outside jobs.
Judge Nathan Cayton, NUM-
cipal Court, who refused to answer
the QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
subcommittee to all District judges,
was croSS-examined by Subcommit-
tee members and admitted he re-
ceived $1,000 from teaching law
beside his $4,000 salary as a judge.
Acting Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West also brought be-
fore the committee said that he
had received 1890 so far this year
in fees from bar examinations.
that he taught law at National
University and is represented in
a receivership case.
This limitation placed in the
1887 bill was struck out by
the Senate subcommittee which
showed little patience with the at
tempt to curtail the energies of
District employees. It will be one
Of the bones of contention in the
conference.

6. 0. P. OUTLINE
PLATFORM

A six.point program for the Re
publican platform during their
Cleveland convention next month
was outlined today by Representa-
tive Wadsworth (RJ, New York
Republicans must face these six
issues "courageously." Wadsworth
said. adding:
I'VE have more than an even
chance of electing the next
President If the convention
adopts a fine basic American
platform"
The six points enumerated by
WadSworth:
Return of State rights and de.
Capitalization of power in Wash.
ington.
Maintenance of the powers and
prerogativeS Of the Sup RENE
Court.
The Government must get out
of business in competition with
private industry.
Balance the budget.
Cessation of Government regu'
lation of business.
Abolition of benefit payments
to farmers.
In place of the benefit pay
ments to farmers, Wadsworth said
he advocated a drastic downward
revision of the tariff rates.

TOWNS PLEAD
GASOLINE TAX
REFUNDS

Persistent failure Of the Board
Of Commissioners to make any
provision for the payment Of the
EIong-overdue gasoline tax refunds
to the incorporated towns Of
Prince Georges county has
brought about threat of drastic
action from several Of the mu-
inequalities.
The towns are contending that
under the law the expenditure Of
funds on county roads cannot be
made until after payment Of the
tax refund to the municipalities.
Several town councils have in
dicated the possibility Of court
Injunction against the county
commissioners to force the re-
payment Of the gas tax funds.
Depend on Funds
It has been pointed out most
of the incorporated municipalities
in Prince Georges are almost
wholly dependent upon the gas
tax refund for street improve
ments and maintenance and that
in most instances, no funds have
beer forthcoming from the State
in over a year.
The towns so effected have been
forced to cut into their general
funds for street maintenance to
such an extent that several of
them are now without any cash
whatever, it is said.
Payment of the refunds to the
towns has been held up by the
State Roads Commission pending
a settlement of the $4,000 county
overdraft with the State commits
sion for county roads.
The townships contend that I'M
der the tax law passed in 1885,
there is no reason why the county
should have a deficit with the
State Roads Commission.
RiverdaIe Protests
The town of Riverdale last week
sent a letter to the State Roads
Commission quoting the law in
that case and demanding an ex-
PLANTATION of the expenditure of
funds for county roads when no
money has been turned over to the
municipalities.
The letter states:
"Our annual budget was made
up on the assumption that the
usual gasoline tax refund would
be made to us and we have used
our general fund to tide us over
the period in which we should
have received these funds. Since
the money has evidently been
diverted to other sources, and we
are apparently compelled to wait
their receipt, our town is not
only greatly handicapped, but
our other work is paralyzed. We
have been compelled to lay off
men who have been taking care
Of the roads. will you kindly
advise why the orderly distribu-
tiOn Of these funds has not been
made as provided by law"
A copy Of the letter was also
sent to the county board of com
missioners.
