Nevertheless, Senator Byrds COM

comparisons with facts and figures
cited in the Strother's article.
For instance, he pointed with pride
to the fact that the value of school
buildings had risen from $1,OOO,OO0 in
1900 to $48,0OO,OOO in 1924.
According to Lloyd Griffin, secre-
tarY of the School Commission, the
1897 val,ie Of school buildings was
S110.000,000, nearly two and half
times AS much as when the dreams
came true"
Again. Mr.. Strother cited increase in
expenditures for school purposes OF
from $1,OOo,OOO in 1917 to $23,oOo,0oO in
1924.
Here the rate of progress has slow
ed somewhat, but Mr.. Griffin said TO-
day that the total expenditures 70,
the 1898 term will go well abovc
$3O,O00,O00. For the 1866 year they
touched $50 ,253,276. % 81
In the Worlds Work much was
made of the fact that the State has
just completed 5000 miles of concrete
and macadam roads roads. Figure!
from the Highway Commission show
there are now 26,354 miles of surfaced
| roads in the State. ss

Cliff Battles, former pro gridde1
with the Washington Redskins
now assistant coach at Columbis
University:
Football is beneficial to the
students. It develops young
men. In many cases it is a
money-making proposition. How
ever, the income from football
should be used for maintenance
of the college athletic teams and
promotion of education. Al
though I can't say how the Su-
preme Court will vote, I hope it
favors the colleges"
Ray Clarity. noted Washington
tax lawyer:
mo, I do not. College foot
ball profits are used for a good
purpose. College football is not
a business and should not be
claSsed as such. But what the
Supreme Court decision on the
question will be, cannot say.
There are three sides to each
question. Your side, the other
fellows side and the right side.
The Supreme Court will favor
the right SIDE"

Smaller schools take on

with football. The Supreme Court

Goldie Ahearn, boxing promo.
ter:
Sure, the colleges ought to
be taxed. However, if the Gus

without paying a tax, he will
use that money to buy hot dogs

the Supreme Court will vote for

COMMERCIAL PROPOSITION
Sergt. John Agnew, Police DE

Undoubtedly, football is a
commercial proposition with the
