Sometimes we are tempted to write
a paragraph in praise of reactionaries.
They aren't always so dumb.
Take, for instance, the skillful way
they went to work to get the whole
machinery for fascist dictatorship
voted into law. First they had the
War department prepare details un-
der the guise of an industrial Mobil-
ization Plan for the Next War"-a
reasonable seeming thing to do. Next
the plan was brought before Congress
under the attractive title of "A Bill
to Prevent Protiteering in Time of
War and to Equalize the Burdens of
War, untrue and misleading
title, which won for the bill the
veterans who still get hot under the
collar when they remember how in
the last war men were drafted but
not capital and industry, which were
left free to be used for tremendous
private profits by few corporate
overlords posing as patriotic dollar
a-year men.
Women's international League for
Peace and Freedom maintains Wash
ington office just to watch legislation
of this sort. 1t didn't take the WILL
long to rouse key people throughout
the country about the true nature of
the Sheppard-May bill, which en-
bodies portions of the fascist plan.
Il in
to the fight with kilograms to repre-
sentatives in Congress asking that the
public be given an opportunity to dis
cuss and debate the proposed measure
and express itself before it becomes
a law. The bill, he pointed out, does
not prevent profiteering and equalize
the burdens of war, but actually
establishes a military dictatorship to
protect war profiteering, wipe out pro-
gressive social legislation for men,
women and children, and destroy la
Dor unions He wired Representa-
tive Andrew j. May, who introduced
the bill into the House, and in tele
gram to the WILL asked them not to
relax in their efforts to block enact
ment of the vicious measure.
The $4,000 new income tax payers
brought under the provisions of the
state income tax law, last year through
lowering of the exemption will net
the state just $500. This is the
substance of figures issued last week
by the state income tax division.
Thus comes positive proof of what
Governor Benson has been contend
ing ever since he refused to sign the
income tax law last summer,-that
the revenue to be collected would eat
up the cost of administering the tax.
The division says that of the expected
S37, 500 to be collected from the new
classifications of income tax payers,
al least $4,000 will be spent in col
lecting the tax.
If for no other reason, then (and
of course it remains fact that the
present income tax covers persons re-
ceiving hardly more h an WPA
wages), it is no wonder that Benson
recently declared one of the first acts
of the 1899 legislature should be to

take the low-income groups out from

The new national Republican Pro-
Frank, former university of Wiscon-
sin president, is to meet soon to draft
"a more liberal program" for the Re
publican party.
How much can be expected by way
of genuine liberalism from this new
program committee? The answer is
given us by Governor George D. Ait
ken of Vermont, who recently said
that if Lincoln were alive today he
would repudiate the Republican party
One-third of the members of this
new liberal" program committee of
the Republican party, Governor Ait
ken pointed out, represent banking,
insurance, stock and bond selling,
manufacturing and business" One
fourth of the committee are lawyers.
Farmers are represented on this
committee by only 81 persons, or about
10 per cent of the total membership
of the committee, in spite of the fact
that 40 per cent of the population of
our country is located in rural areas,
and 25 per cent actually live on
farms.
The millions of organized and un-
organized workers are represented on
this committee by-four labor men!
Surely we are justified in conclud-
ing that this new Republican program
committee is just the same old crowd
with some new faces and new voices.
This conclusion is borne out when
we note that full third of the COM
mittee represents the concentrated
industrial and financial area around
New York city, while only One-seventh
of the committee come from the great
farm states on the plains of the
middle west
The decision of the Republican
party in Minnesota to "streamline" the
program to fit whatever candidate
for governor is named in the pri-
marieS is a political innovation. We
had always thought that the purpose
of pragram was to meet the de-
mands of the times and the needs of
the people. III tnlS u6clSlOn means
anything at all, it is an open confess
sion on the part of the Republicans
that they have no program whatso-
ever to present.
The Republicans in the coming
campaign here are facing a rather
uncomfortable position. 1t is certain
that spirited fight within the Re-
publican party over the governorship
nomination will develop-in fact, is
already beginning to develop. This
means that most of the Republican
voters would like to accommodate
the Farmer-Labor party by naming
their candidate for them. Very few
Republicans can be found now who
are optimistic enough to think that
the Republican voters can control the
Farmer-Labor primaries.
Friends of Governor Benson at the
very beginning have been very little
concerned over the announced efforts
of the Republicans to control the
Farmer-Labor primaries. They pointed
out that there are not enough Re-
publicans left in the state to turn
such a political feat.

Despite the determined opposition
to State Administrator Victor Christ
gau, the much-discussed WPA weed
eradication project seemed far from
dead. Letters and resolutions OF
county commissioners and farm
groups demanding approval OF the pro-
ject poured into state and national
WPA offices.
The project seemed to have full
support except from Christgau. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture indicated WPA weed eradica-
tion campaign would meet with its
wholehearted approval.
A typical resolution came from the
Murray county board of commission
ers asking Christgau to reconsider
his disapproval."
John Nelson, st. Louis farmer and
chairman of the Minnesota Farm Con-
ference board, said, I'VE farmers
should insist that at least small
part of the WPA money be spent to
assist farmers in controlling weeds on

are for victories for the old school,
have greater understanding of the
coach's problem than they had just
few years ago. Here and there, of
course, the voice of the impatient
rooter is heard, clamoring for the
coach's job, thus adding to the man S
woes and making his task that much
harder But for the most part it
is easier for a coach to maintain
the confidence instilled by his proven
qualifications than it used to be.
AS lesson to the impatient and
the unreasonable, there is the case
of Amos Alonzo Stage. For years
Stagg gave Chicago great teams that
dominated the Big Ten. Then his
material fell out from under him.
He couldn't put together winning
teams any more and some Of the
Chicago students and graduates
thoughtlessly coupled the lack OF
victories only with Stages advanced
age. They said he was too old and
that he had lost his grasp on the
game. He protested that he was as
capable as he ever was, but pressure
put upon him to resign increased.
Finally, he was forced out under the
age-retirement rule.
That didn't stop the Old Man of
the Midway. He knew he still could
develop winning teams. He went
out to the little College of the Pacific
at Stockton, Calf, and proved it.
And this year he brought his team
back to the Midway-and defeated
Chicago, 80 to 0.
There is also the case of Harry
Mehre. Harry Mehre's Georgia
teams beat Yale five years in a row,
four times on New Haven turf. But
Mehre was let out last season in
year of injuries and only fair
material. This last fall he took a
Mississippi team that had lost Kin
nard and other stars and turned out
the best year Ole Miss ever has
known.
This again shows the mistake of
putting too much blame on any good
coach who might be up against an
impossible situation for a yeae or
two.

Ut|ans Will Struggle
To Lose Grid Trip

Southern Cal
By ROBERT MYERS,
ASSociated Press Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21.-South-
ern California and University of
California at Los Angeles will clash
in a football game here Thanks
giving Day, with:
/. Southern California fighting for
a chance to go into the Rose Bowl;
2. U. C. l.. A. struggling to lose
junt to sunny Honolulu.
That will be the situation when
these cross-town rivals tie up be-
fore some $4,000 patrons next Thurs
day. 1t will be a hard fought af-
fair because Bill Spauldings Uclans
rather would win from the Trojans
than-well, take trip to Hawaii.
Southern California, by the same
token, rather would set the bump
tious Bruins down than most other
aevens in the Pacific Coast Confer
ence, even if the chance for the Rose
Bowl bid were not at stake.
The Trojans need a win to insure
a place on the ticket when the Con-
ference members begin balloting for
the Vests Rose Bowl representative
following the Turkey Day encounter.
A loss will throw out their hopes
and give California a sure shot at the
famed bowl classic.
Victory would give Southern Cali
fornia tie with the Golden Bears
for the Conference championship,
and an edge in the voting because it
thrashed the lads from Berkeley on
November S.
If the Trojans lose, they have first
call on a game in Honolulu. If they
win, the ocean trip doubtless will be
off and U. c. L. "A. will make the
journey.
Anything can happen in the S. c.
U. c. L. A. rivalry. but the TroJans
are favored more than ever now that
two of the best Bruin regulars, Guard
Jack Sommers and Fullback Bill
Overlin definitely are on the hospital
list and will be unable to play.
Up at Berkeley the Bears, after a
squeaky 6-to-0 win over Stanford
Saturday, are awaiting the outcome.

Western Half Muss
Is Threatened by
Giant Victory
Detroit Now Has Chance
To Tie Beaten Packers
For Sectional Title
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-New York's
Giants are riding a winning streak
in the National Professional Foot
ball League which may carry them
to Eastern division and league
honors.
Their sixth straight victory, a
league record for the season, came
yesterday at the expense of Green
Bay. 1t not only advanced their
Eastern title bid and prolonged the
Western division fight, but stamped
the New Workers as sure menace
should they clash with the Packers
again in the play-off.
BY virtue of their decisive 15-to-3
triumph, the Giants became the
only Eastern club this year to de-
feat Green Bay, which also was
seeking its sixth straight. Washing
ton did not meet the Packers, who
ended their regular season yester-
day and who, as a result Of the
loss. faced the possibility of a play
off for the Western crown.
Detroit Still in Race.
Detroit kept its chances alive by
defeating the Chicago Cardinals, 7
to 3, and can tie Green Bay at eight
victories and three defeats by dis
posing of Chicago's Bears and Phil
adelphia in its last two games.
The Bears and Lions will meet at
Detroit Thursday, with the now re-
vitalized Bears mighty barrier to
Detroit's chances. Yesterday the
Bears eliminated Brooklyn from
Eastern title consideration with q
smashing 24-to-6 triumph.
New York must protect its Eastern
lead against Brooklyn Thursday, and
after that will settle the title issue
with Washington's Redskins, pro-
viding the defending champions can
overcome Pittsburgh Sunday. Whiz-
zer White ran 79 yards for a touch
down against Philadelphia yester-
day, but it was Pittsburgh's only
score and the Pirates lost to Phila-
delphia, IA to 7. Cleveland will play
the Cards at Chicago in Sundays
other game.
Leemans Leads to Giant Win.
Green Bay pushed New York about
much as it pleased during the first
half yesterday until it reached the
scoring zone. New York stopped
one touchdown drive at the 25 and
another at the 10, but Paul Enge-
bretsen's field goal gave the Packers
a 3-to-2 half-time lead.
Then the Giants struck Tuffy
Leemans ran rs yards for one
touchdown and Mel Helm so yards

Sikh Forgot His Orders
In Carpenter Fight

The StoOge may not necessarily be
a wilful rebel. Sometimes he is as
innocent as a newborn dove, and
sins through carelessness alone.
That was the case with Mr.. Cueball
Trammell, when he floored Jimmy
Adamick, the white hope of Detroit,
last summer. The Cueball let a
careless punch get away, and Ada
mick went down. Mr.. Trammell
was picture of Mortified remorse.
He did not lift his hands from his
sides for the balance of the fight.
Mr.. Adamick eventually clambered
to his feet and knocked the con-
science stricken Cueball out, or what
passed for out.
Georges Carpenter was not so
lucky in famous fixed fight in Paris,
some Is years ago. The gorgeous
Gaul caught a real rebel, fellow
who forgot his commitments COM

way. This was the well-known child

from the jungles of Senegal.
They fought for the light-heavy-
weight title, and M. Francois
Descamps. Carpenters manager,
was prudent enough to inform the
battler and his handlers before hand
that Sikh would oblige one and all by
going out in the third round.
Sikh said he saw M. Descap S
point. AS evidence of his good
faith, he promised to drop for a
short count in the first round.
The singular Senegalese took his
count in the first, all right, and
another in the third, but, instead of
remaining on the rug, where he
belonged, and feigning coma, he
arose and planted a salute upon the
point of the orchid mans chin.
Shortly afterward, he knocked the
dazed Carpenter stiff and took the
title home.
They say that M. Descaps
did not recover his equilibrium for
48 hours after the accident. He lay
fat on his back in bed, plucking at
the coverlet and moaning. How
