SPORT
CHATTER
By
JIMMY WHITE

ritory Of TeXaco Beach yesterday
afternoon and decided to drop in
for chat with Roy Blockett. Roy
you know, plays a bang up game
for the Pirates in the outfleld.
Speaking to him about TeXaco'S
loss last Monday, caused some
few remarks from the outtielder.
He went on to say that the Nor
folk Police team was pretty good
and played a fairly fast brand OF
ball. Neither did he say why they
lost the game or did he try to give
any excuses for their failure to
pile up another win to their LIST.
1 asked Brockett would pitcher,
so-called. NeckerferaS be in the
Pirate lineup when they travel
to Charity Sunday. Both Brock2tt
and a friend sitting close by eX-
claimed, He certainly will not be
present" Brockett's friend leaned
back and said, "Oh, he is pr2t-
ty good high school pitcher" /
gather that they were none too
pleased with NeckerferG% pre-
furmance last Sunday and that
they have no idea of asking his
services again.
The same nine that has been
winning and losing, mostly losing
lately, together all this season will
make the trip to Charity to play
the Charity nine in their second
Virginia -Caroina semi-pro league
game. You all know that the Jays
beat TeXaco Sunday to mark up
the first league win!
Best of luck boys when you are
sWatting away over in Virginia
hope you can bring home a vic
tory.
The Local Jays are all excited
over the outcome of last week
ends play. Now they ale starting
work for their game Sunday with
the Orioles, Boy and do they want
to take that game-I'll say!
Johnson, with those piston like
legs of his, is slated to lead the
Jaybirds right on up the league
ladder, Sunday and Monday both
the speed of johnson was out
standing. He stole bases like a
veteran, charged hot bounders,
and ran the bases like a scared
rabbit. Not only is the Jays
pride player fast but he is also a
crack hitter.
Johnson, Elizabeth City is for
you and looking to you for big
ger and better things in time to
come. You have given them fine
play and they ask for. More,
more, more, and more!"
While talking with Captain
Pratt Fearing the other night he
told me that he had written a
letter to Bill Terry, manager of
the New York Giants. Fearing
said he told the great manager
about several Of the boys on his
team. He also said that he asked
Terry if in the near future he
wouldn't have some scout drop in
and look the boys over. Terry
answered this letter Fearing wrote
to him and stated that he had in
structed the Giant scout that was
working North Carolina to visit
Elizabeth City and inspect the
captains players. Fearing was
thrilled with the reply and so
was I and every body else that
heard the good news.
Terry did not say when his
scout would watch the2e fellows
in action but he said, "AS soon as
possible" Fellows. you will have to
do your stuff from now on. There
is no telling when this man is
going to drop in on you.

his typewriter for several months.
Ade was the first of the columnist

perhaps the first reporter to become

spry for his 10 years and his sense
of humor has never dulled. He is
devoted to soft ball games and
watches them play every summer
morning at Brook, Indiana.

ASHINGTON-Senator George Norris of
Nebraska is not one to look backward, April

Twenty years ago, speaking before the Sen

Before taking this n1omentous step. and

ITO my mind what ought to have MAIN

trality. If had done this, I do not now
believe would have been on the verge of
war at the present time :.
mo close student of recent history will deny
that both Great Britain and Germany have,
numerous occasions since the beginning of
the war, flagrantly violated in the most serious
manner the rights of neutral vessels and neu
trail nations under existing international law

public sentiment in favor of our country taking
course that would make every bond worth

ganda the world has ever seen
Norris cited Wall Street brokers' customer
letter that said Canada and Japan were at war
and were more prosperous than ever before.
ITO whom does bring prosperity?' he
cried.
War brings no prosperity to the great mass
of common and patriotic citizens 1t increases
the cost of living to those who toll
And even if we do not cross the Atlantic
and go into the trenches we are going to pile

Upon the passage of this resolution we
will have joined Europe in the great catastrophe
and taken America into entanglementS that will
not end with this war, but will live and bring
their evil influences upon many generations

of starvation and suffering as are
on view among the Touaregs' lnou-

are reduced to the most pitllui
beggery in the towns. Altogether
the Touaregs are suffering more
than they ever suffered from desert

Now the point of this case Is
that the job of making the desert

done. to make peace workable. The

NOT ENTIRELY THE
OTHER FELLOWS BUSINESS

The California legislature or per-
maps 1t would be better to say members
OF the egislature-would incyease the
states budget for the next biennium
by $174, 4,191, 1893 above the SAG, ,466, ,5O7
which Governor Frank F. Merriam be-
lleves will be sufficient. Requests for
additional budget increases, if allowed,
would make the state budget total $780,
Doc, ,405 for the next two years, against
S419,406,882 estimated total expendi-
lures from state taxes during the 1885,
81 biennium.
Figures and statistics such as these
may be dry as dust, but they are the
tinder which flame under the heat of
taxpayers wrath. Not content with a
straw to break the taxpayers pocket
book, the legislature would heap a whole
load of hay on top of it.
The California taxpayer has had about
all he can do in the last few years to
meet his payments to the state In some
instances, he has had more than he can
do. Government has become not an ex-
pensive Necessity, but bankrupting
luxury. This is no time to saddle new
taxes onto individual initiative in the
state of California.
The trouble with government is that
its agents see signs of recovery in busi-
ness and industrial life, and take the
mere signs as an indication that gov
ernment can recover overnight. RecOv-
cry, to government, means the ability
to spend more from the tax funds
There is one great difficulty in the
way of strict economy in state govern
ment, or, for that matter, in any gov
ernment. 1t is the fact that individual,
isolated items in the budget increase
i ..a1r II, e
The head of department, asking an in
crease of several thousand dollars in the
budget for his department, can prove
correctly and beyond doubt that the
increase he asks would not represent an
additional one cent on the tax rate.
Neither would most of the others.
Lump them all together, however, and
you have an increase that, by itself,
would be a respectable tax rate.
1t is like the man spending five cents
an hour. He never stops to realize that
at the end of "a hours, he hasn't much
of an equity left in five dollar bill
1t is not a breakdown of the tax rate
that interests the average man. He
doesn't know, and usually doesn't much
care, whether one-tenth or one thou
sandth of his tax dollar goes to the up
keep of homes for the mentally unfit.
He only knows what. his tax bill is by
its total, because that is the way he
pays it. He writes a check for $50 or so
to the State of California, not a check
for S1.O9 to the State Fish and Game
department.
1t is the business of the legislators to
see that the departments are kept in
line, for only by pairing down their de-
partment budgets to the nth degree will
the total bill be kept where it should be.
The people can howl about the taxes,
but only the legislators can keep the
budgets at a reasonable level.

An illustration is provided by the
tragic case of the fierce Touareg
tribesmen of the Sahara desert.
For many years the Touaregs
we're among the most dreaded fight
ers of Africa They fought with
other tribes, they fought with each
other, and they fought most of all
with the French, providing The
long-suffering Foreign Legion with
some of its most desperate engage
ments.
But at last the power of France
grew to be too much for them.
The Touaregs knuckled under be-
fore the white mems troops, just
as the Sioux of our own west had
knuckled under; and some three
years ago the tribesmen stopped
fighting and embraced the ways
of peace.
And then their. troubles began.
The Touaregs had always been
nomadic tribes, roaming up and
down the limitless Sahara. When
peace came they stopped roaming
up and down and across theETE
and settled down. sWarming to the
oases and the villages and multi
plying in numbers faster than they
ever had in the age-old era OF

Now the Sahara is not exactly
garden spot. The number of
people it can support is strictly
limited. When villages and oases
increase in population, the Sahara's
productivity is tested to the very
limit. A brief run of bad luck
can cause disaster.
The run of bad luck promptly
