day for the folks of Burtonsville
vicinity, for that is the day of
the annual tournament, supper
and dance given for benefit of
Liberty Grove Grange.
For several years now this has
been the only tournament held in
Montgomery County-it is sure to
be lots of fun, for the local Will
Rogers, Snowden j. Athey is to
be chief marshal, and his aides
will be the Misses Genevieve and
Jane Aitcheson. You know it was
Mr.. Athey who told us that the
folks of that locality were "pore
but handsome"
Last year the three Bready
Brothers, of Baltimore County, we
believe, attracted much attention
and won some prizes--riding a
black mare which their father had
trained and ridden for years, she
was just the age of the youngest
boy, and she really knows her
tournaments! They will not be
with US this year, as there is a
tournament near them that day.
But starting at home we have
"Bunlzy" Athey, who is only 10,
riding as the Knight of Burtons-
ville-Dick Gales, Knight of the
Iron Bridge Hunt-his brother,
Ralph, Knight of Spain-isn't he
ambitious!
Then there is Joe Letter Aitche-
son, who is about 12-he won a
first at Willis in Prince Georges
on the 4th of July, and is no
longer an amateur-think Of that
He is the Knight of Woodland
View, a professional now, if you
pleased
There was only one girl entered
when we got this information
from Henry C. Lank, who is the
Master of the Grange, which ht
tells US has been organized 81
years-they have several members
who have belonged for fifty years
Margart Lee Aitcheson is Il
and she rode for the first time a
Willis this year as the Knigh
of the Bride Path.
Then there will be Bob Aitche
son, Knight of Berwyn, who il
older-we are told these Aitche
sons are cousins. Joe Letter
father, Joe Letter Aitcheson, ST.
is in charge of the affair.
A number of older riders ar,
expected-some of whom hav,
been identified with the sport fol
years = Phil Love, Knight Of
Maryland Boy-Gordon Hobbs, an
other oldtimer-A. D. Langley, Of
Arlington, Va. who is perhaps
the most experienced rider-FranE
Gates of Oxon Hill, and his two
sons-and there will probably bt
others.

fighting is to Mexico and baseball

/ According to the novelist Scott
it was "both bloody and danger
GUS but by the 18th century we
are told it had become mere

now just a sport of skilled horse

and try to bear them off.

requesting the samples offered as free,

is thereby imposed on the inquirer to

cash or services, or else return it.

study clubs. Nothing has come to my
attention which offers more hope for
democracy And there is nothing which
will pay more in dividends to the. con-
sumers and to the public and to this
democracy"
Voorhis' statement reminded me of
time many years ago when Senator
George w. Norris was discussing some
provisions of pending tax bill. Norris
knew that secrecy" provisions in the
law were the cloak for corruption in
the handling of income taxes and he
wanted facts concerning particular tax
cases. He listened to statement of
facts concerning these cases and then
he began to pace the floor
whats the matter with the Ameri-
can people?" he exclaimed
"The people just do not know" I
answered.
That's it," he agreed, "they do not
know and the problem is how we are
going to inform them and keep them
informed"
The excess profits tax" bill, as will
be remembered, was passed in the
house under a gag rule so strict no
amendments to the bill were permit
ted In the senate, provisions of the
bill were debated, but aside from
speech by Senator Robert M. LaFol-
lette, in which he dissected the blu
and presented facts and figures, there
were no statements which would give
any comprehension of what the bill
would do, or might do. In the senate
committee on finance, where the bin
was developed behind closed doors,
LaFollette said efforts to debate and
study the bill were met by incessant
demands, "Vote, vote"
The bill provides that corporations
may elect to figure their profits tax
based on the capital thu have invest
ed in the business and the percentage
of profits made on that capital, or
they may elect to state what their
average profits were for the years 1886
to 1889 and be taxed on only any prof
its which exceed that average.
Until the bill is studied more thor
oughly, as it is applied TO actual cor
poration profits, factual discussion of |
what it will do is impossible. LaFol-
lette's discussion was based on very |
estimates which were as
ISOLATED with facts and that is about /
the best that could be done.
But when it is realized that the
American government and foreign gov
are pumping billions of dol
lars into the economy of this country
and the total earned national income
will jump in terms Of 10 billions OF
dollars and this excess profits tax bill
is not expected to produce revenue
Of more than one-half billion dollars a
year, a very general idea can be had
Of how little burden it will put on the
which pay 1t. If the cost
If the program doesn't come out of

DRAFT BOARDS TO
Reflect COMMUNITY
makeup, HEAD SAYS
(By Federated Press)

WASHINGTON.-L draft boards
Twill be made up in accordance with
the composition of the community
according to 1t. Col. Lewis b. Her,
shey, executive secretary of the joint
army and navy seIective service COM
mittee.
Hershey, in response to press con-
ference questions, said he could not
give general picture of the compo-
sition OF the community
He comes from a small agricultural
community, he explained, and he sup
poses that the draft board in that COM
munity will be made up of persons
respected and known in that area
Hershey attended a conference of
Acknowledgement and national guard
officials at which plans for the draft
which starts October 16 were made.
1t was called to his attention that
labor groups in various states had
asked that labor be given adequate
representation on the draft boards
which will have the power to defer
the drafting of individuals.
The boards, he said, will cover an
area in which there are 10000 people
and will be a cross-section of the COM
munity
A representative of the New York
state acknowledgement said that in the
state the governor has asked the may
ors Of cities to recommend members
of, the draft board and that in rural
areas, the county judges would sug-
gest draft board members.
Asked what precautions would be
taken to assure uniform administra-
ton of the draft law, Hershey said the
instruction and supervision would
come from the national office and that
all appeals would come to the same
quarter.
Before the conference adjourned,
General Milton A. Reckord, head of
the Maryland national guard, asked
newspapermen not to use the word
"conscripts" in talking about the con-
scripts. He suggested use of the words
"trainees" or selected men," u
Record also asked discontinuance
of the use of the term "home guard"
and suggested Estate guard" as more
appropriate.

McKENNA EXPLAINS
REDUCED PAYMENTS

Rates of payment and deduction for
Agricultural Conservation under the
1910 farm program will be 10 per cent
less than the tentative rates indicated
last November. Chairman McKenna of
the state committee pointed out that
parity payments which are made I'M
der separate appropriation are not
affected
Increased participation in the 1910
program and the transfer of funds
plete payments under the 1889 pro-
gram has made this adjustment neces-
sary Payments may not exceed the
amount of funds available and upward
or downward adjustment of rates for
participation must be made as the case
may be.
Payments which are under 5000,
after being computed at the revised
rates, will be increased in accordance
with the small payment provisions of
the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The
decrease in rate also affects payment
for range conservation which comes
under the 1910 Agricultural Conserva-
ton program.
Chairman McKenna stated that this
is not the first time that revision of
rates has been made necessary. In
1887, on the basis of similar provi-
sions, rates of payment were increased
10 per cent; in 1888, no adjustments
were necessary, and in 1899, rates
were decreased 10 per cent on certain
crops.

and still drawing their full salary from
the state for the entire month of May.
That a considerable amount OF this
kind OF thing was done by Ayers and
his managers can be proved, and is in
no sense loose charge which cannot
be substantiated. Perhaps it is be-
cause Ayers has been able to and has
been INSCRIPTIONS enough to use state
his behalf, that he merits the praise
for a great business administration"
that is given him by the corporation
press in the state and joined in by the
democratic machine press.
While the pages Of names of donors
to the Ayers campaign reminds one of
a mailing list of some sort, and it is
suspected that some of those named
as donors would be highly surprised to
find themselves listed as such, yet
there are names that are easily recog-
nized, such as Tom Ally, one of the

The total absence from the list of

does not appear reasonable to believe
that some claim for campaign contri-
buttons for the reelection of their

On the other hand, perhaps they will
stand for the "big touch" in the gen
eral campaign, and let the smaller fry

GIRDLER SAYS KIND
HEARTED BUSINESS
Men ARE MALIGNED
(Rv Federated Press)

NASHVILLE, Tenn.-Tom M. Grid
Ter. chairman of the Republic Steel
corporation, complained at chamber
of commerce luncheon here that "cer-
tain left-wing journalists and others
are painting businessmen as heartless
fellows who put profits before patriot
ISM"
He declared that manufacturers
must have an opportunity to make
fair profit" on defense orders to pro-
tect their industries and their EN-
ployees from ruin when the defense
orders stop.
Girdler, whose solicitude for his
employees right to be free of the
temptation of joining union was
factor in the Memorial day massacre
OF 10 unarmed pickets, has done pretty
well for his stockholders and himself.
During the last five years his COM
pany has acquired control of six
smaller competitors and leased two
others, making Republic the third
largest steel manufacturer of the ma
ton.
In 1888 the company reported a defi-
cit of $3,756, 7O2 BY 1889 the net profit
was S9,267, O61, and for the first six
months of 1910 the profit was So

by the report was the pressures ap-
piled to American firms having sub
salaries in Germany.
