40-MILL BILL

SUPPORT 4O-MILL BILL
If you want the opportunity t
vote on making the 40-Mill Ia
Limit permanent part of the con
stitution you should immediatel
write to members of the committe
on Constitutional Revision in tn
state senate. to recommend Senat
Joint Resolution No. 4 for passage
and should urge the Senator iron
your district to support this resolu
ton on the floor.
The resolution, which would max
1t possible to place the 4O-Mill mea
sure on the ballot in 1910 as con
stitutional amendment, withou
linking 1t up with any other issue
was introduced by Senator'S Orn
dorff (D) Spokane and Roup ID
Asotin, and is scheduled for hear.
ing in the committee within tn
next week.
Supporters Of tax limitation whit
have passed overwhelmingly four 40.
Mill tax limit initiatives and have
clamored for an opportunity to vote
on making the law permanent, are
hopeful that the committee will re-
spect declared public opinion ano
make favorable recommendation
on Resolution No. 4 to the Senate.
Members Of the Constitutional Re-
vision committee to whom requests
should be addressed are: II. I. Kyle
Fred 8. Duggan, Mary U. Farquhar-
son, ]. Gordon Klemgard, George F.
McAulay, Ralph Metcaf, Kebel
Murphy, w. r. Orndorff, K. w.
Reardon, Judson w. Shorett and
Harold u. Troy.
Since q two-thirds majority Of
each house IS required to pass the
resolution, and since opponents of
tax limitation are again fighting to
defeat the measure, the taxpayers
back home can help by urging their
Senators to support the resolution.
In this legislative district, where
Initiative 100, the last 40-Mill meas
ure, carried by q vote of 7,1O2 for to
SOLO against, home and farm own
aers should write to Senator Charles
F. Stinson and ask him to work for
the passage Of Resolution No. 4.
This resolution should not be con-
fused with Senate Joint Resolution
No. 10, also before the committee,
which joins with the 40-Mill
amendment wide open classifica-
ton amendment and links up q
graduated income tax as well.
This measure IS seen by support
ers OF tax limitation as an attempt
to defeat the 40-Mill by linking It
With previously defeated and contro-
versial measures which should be
deeaded upon Independently and q
totally separate propositions.

that this nation was given its IA.
nous Gettysburg Address. These
words Of q man lived imprinted In
millions of schoolbooks and in bill

Of an assembly down through the

uttered at shrine, were meant to
guide us In governing ourselves both
wisely and well, we the people who

Of an old claim for greatness in

It Is most fitting that the nation

heads Of his audience into the

words? Was he cauttoning and

ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, Aug.
l9.-The Canadian open golf cham
pionship, which no Canadian of the
present shot making generation has
been able to win, seems bound for
the United States again.
Starting the final 36-hole grind
today, Harold Jug McSpaden of
winchester, Mass, a clever player
whose accurate game appears to be
just right for the short but tricky
Riverside course, had 3-stroke lead
over the field. Big Ralph Guldahl
OF Madison, N j., was the only other
player under par for the first half
McSpaden fired rounds of 81 and

bad incoming nine yesterday, had
69-70-139.
Two Canadians Well Up.
Nearest to them in the field which
was cut from 81 to SO tor the final
dash, were two Canadians who had
pretty good chances to bring the title
home for the first time since 1914.
They were Stan Horne of Montreal
and Arthur Hubert of Toronto, both
with 141s. These two also drew
choice pairings for today's play.

There weren't any surprise elm

that we are going to have a couple
of pennant races before the year is

The two leading clubs, the Yam

even afford to look back
Neither finish calls for the cam

BROOKLINE. Mass, Aug. 1e.-
Bobby Riggs and Elwood Cooke, an
apathetic pair until the chips are
down, today were all that remained
to prevent the final round of the
national doubles tennis classic from
becoming a routine workout for the
Australian Davis Cup team.
They were scheduled to oppose
Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich
the Australian aces. in the last of
the mems semi-final matches at
Longwood. Yesterday Jack Craw-
ford and Harry Hopman, minor
members of the invaders force that
is favored to lift the priced court
trophy. qualified for the title round
by defeating the top-seeded domes-
tic pair. Frank Parker and Don Nc
Neill, Ga, As, 6-3, 60.
Rate Australians at Top.
Riggs and Cooke are the Winlble-
don champions, title that usually
stamps the greatest doubles players
in the world. The experts, however,
concede that top ranking to Quist
and the wo-handed-swinging Brom-
wich. who routed such capable rivals
as Gene Mako, one of the 1888
champions, and Jack Tidball to gain
the second last round.
Although the American young
sters do not rate serious considera-
ton against such brilliant opponents
as those Australian stars. their un-
canny habit of coming through in
the pinches has won them many
supporters among the Longwood
gallery.
The fear of foreign victory has
not spread to the womens division,

Alice Marble, winners for the last

Pastor Cocky Over
Bout With Louis
Won't Be on Bicycle
This Time, He Says;
Thinks Joe Dull
By SID FEDER,

ASSOSldlSu IicSS opOiLS "tItcI.
SARATOGA SPRINGS. N Y. Aug.
19.-Bob Pastor is a stubborn young
man.
He wants things his own way.
And he wants to be heavyweight
champion of the world.
So, by doing the one, he figures
he can't miss the other when he
tangles with Joe Louis for the Sec
ond time over the 20-round route
the night of September 20 in Detroit.
I'm not going to fight his fight, Z"
the square-chinned ex-collegian in
sisted today at his preliminary
training camp here. Hes going to
fight my fight. ,
Hasn't Mapped Plan.
Il don't know what plan I'm going
to use yet, but I won't be on a
bicycle. That's what they said
about me the last time I fought Joe.
This time I'll keep moving around.
I know he can't hit a moving target.
AT the same time. he can be
tagged with left hand. ASK Mr..
Gaiento about that one Yes, sir,
Ill be there the night of the 10th,
and I'll be trying for a knockout"
Pastor is huskier young man
than when he was outpointed by
the Brown Bomber before-huskier
and more experienced. That time
ne weighted 179 and it was his first
10round fight.
II weigh about 1877 now" he said.
I've put on weight where it was
needed. This preliminary work I've
done here-boxing and calisthenics
has made me particularly fit for
the tough training session. I'm
leaving here Monday, and Ill be out
at the Ben Hur Farm in Michigan
Tuesday to begin the tough work.
I'll probably be between 1875 and 1877
for the fight"
Disdains Champs Mentality.
The former New York University
football player has no great respect
for Louis mental ring equipment,
and figures here is one spot college
education is going to mean a lot.
II know he can punch like the
devil" Bob pointed out. He'll
knock your brains out if you let
him. But I'm not going to-
And you know he doesn't think
too fast in the ring. For the first
minute of every round, he remem-
bers what Jack Blackburn tells him
between heats. After that, when he
takes one punch on the face. he gets
as flustered as my little kid when he
forgets how to recite The Three
Little Pigs
And another thing Bob was just
getting warmed up), don't forget this
fight is for 20 rounds. Joe gets
awfully tired even at 10 and Is.
Tommy Farr and 1 both found that
out"
