Few OF us WOud rage against
taxes if we thought we were get
ting our moneys worth; but it is
the knowledge that we do not get
our moneys worth, or anything
like it, that is constantly making
us see red.
The citizens of Nebraska have
formed themselves into state
wide non partisan organization
which. by auditing and scrutiniz-
ing county and municipal expendi-
lures, has substantially reduced
taxes and given the citizenry the
comforting knowledge that their
money is being honestly and wise

HE DOTSED THE GLIM

The other day a sudden heavy
downpOur drove me into a clothing
store vestibule, on each side OF
which were shoOw windows bril-
liantly lighted. The proprietor
came to the front Of the store,
glanced up and down the street,
and observed, Il guess we won't
need these lights for awhile" He
switched them off until the storm
should abate and pedestrians be-
gin to move again.
That proprietor was foreigner.
Had he been an American. the
chances are he would have let the
lights burn on. 1t was little thing
he did-merely the saving Of a few
cents-yet it was the saving Of a
few cents. Stinginess is one thing,
thriftiness another We Americans

GRATIFYING NEWS FROM THE SOUTH
tBy BRUCE CATION

Most hopeful news for democracy and
closer relations with the United States
keeps altering up from South America IN
increasing volume.
Latest of these CHEEKY signs is the order

/ Alfredo Baldomir as president of Uruguay

stitutiona administration to resist Fasclsm'
, General Baldomir was greeted with an
! unprecedented burst of popular acclaim as

every hope that his administration will
, swing Uruguay into closer relationships
. with America del Nerte" rather than with
I Europe. To see orderly democracy regis
; ter such a signal victory in any American
country is pleasing, and especially so in a
country which, like Uruguay, has in the
past rescrted to Shortcut, methods, aud
now gives new evidence of attaining its
, democratic maturity.
- The. quick squelching of a Fascist coup
, in Brazil by President Vargas was another
hopeful sign. The foreign-inspired lnteg-
,raliSta group was given very short shrift
by Vargas who appears to be moving def
nitely toward more truly democratic
regime. " a.
Columbia and Argentina are bright spots

threat there might have been in the pre-
tensions of Saturnino Cedillo. Whatever
one may think of Mexican policies in de-
tail, as regards confiseatiOn of land and of
foreign oil properties, there is hope in the
unuuestioned fact that the Cardenas re-
gime comes nearer being grounded in wide
popular support than any regime of recent
years. In Mexico, too democratic princi-
pies are superseding the old-fashioned

past ... ...... .. ..
Closer relations with several South AM
erican countries are being actively fos-
tered. plan to send American farmers
to the state of Matte Grasso in Brazil is
being considered. Under the proposal, the
two governments would share expenses of
transporting the farmers, and Brazil would
allot them large tracts of land. At least
two organizations are active in Rio de
JaneirO to foster better relations between
the two countries, and the American Uni
versity at Washington has just been given

than words. 1t is not impossible that the
tide of democracy, ebbing now in Europe,
may reverse itself in South America and
swell to its flood in the western hemi-
sphere. Recent events in South America
give new hope and inspiration to everyone
who believes in and loves democracy.

SECOND FEATHER
TITLE co LOOMS
FOR WASHINGTON
BY BOB ADDIE

The recent maneuvering be-
hind the scenes by the National
Boxing Association, in it's efforts
to strip the featherweight title
from the Steel-wooled mop Of
Henry Armstrong, recalls the part
Washington has played in this
division.
The Mike Belloise-Joey Archi-
bald match scheduled for next
Monday night at Griffith Stadium
is to be one of a series of elimina-
tions which is expected to culmi-
nate in the crowning of a new
champion-that is, champion as
far as the N. B. A. is concerned.
SARRON CROWNED HERE
If Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn
realizes his plans, for the second
time in the history of the feather
weight class a titleholder will be
crowned in the District. Petey
Sarron won the title here when
he defeated Freddie Miller in the
spring of 1896. The bout drew
the sixth largest gate ever at
tracted in the featherweight class,
so the rumors that Washington is
apathetic to boxing must be false.
The fans here will back any
show that promises action, and if
Ahearn has been losing money it
must be the caliber of bouts he
has been putting on. Certainly,
Mondays card promises plenty of
action, and even without the left
handed blessing of the N. B. A.,
the Archibald -BelloiSe encounter
appears to be worth while.
But getting back to this feather
weight muddle, it appears the N.
B. A. is going to make the same
farce Of the division it made in
1892. At that time, Bat Battalino
outgrew the class and the N. B. A.
staged an elimination series with
Tommy Paul the victor.
BREAK DEVELOPS
Meanwhile, however, Kid Choco-
late claimed the title. The New
York Boxing Commission, always
noted for its desire to stand alone,
refused to recognize Paul and the
title was thus cut up into two
parts. That this confusion hurt
the class is apparent by look at
the receipts for the next four
years.
The largest gate ever drawn by
featherweights was when Johnny
Dundee defeated Eugene Criqui,
the Frenchman, in New York on
July 26, 1928.
You can bet the family jewels
that Armstrong will not defend
his title by September, the dead
line set by the N. B. A. For one
thing, Henry has a date to box
AmberS on August 10, and it is ex-
tremely dubious that the colored
boy will box so soon after meeting
Lou. Another point is that Arm
strong told us in New York that
he doubted he would ever defend
his title. So there.
