In Name OF Common
Sense

A recent survey of the taxes paid
by industries which are included in
the classification of public utilities
that is, which are directly regulated
by government-as compared with
the taxes paid by the highest-taxed,
unregulated industries, should dis
courage further tax-exempt Federal
socialization of the utilities with
consequent transfer of the taxes they
pay to less heavily-taxed business
and industry.
Rcurteen Industries are classed as
utilities, and, on the average, they
pay slightly more than III cents out
of each and every dollar they re-
ceiye in gross income, for taxes.
The fourteen highest-taxed unreg-
ulated Industries pay an average Of
substantially less than six cents out
of each dollar received.
The most heavily taxed regulated
utility pays 15.5 cents out of each
dollar for taxes-while the most
heavily taxed unregulated business
pays but 8.6 cents.
OF the fourteen utility industries,
the electric industry pays the most
to government in tax dollars-$365,-
100000 per year. When the taxes
paid by natural and manufactured
gas companies are added, the total
for the power and light industry as
a whole comes to the stremendous
sum of 100000. And, as tax
rates increase and the power indus
try expands, this total is constantly
rising.
Try and square that with the plans
of those who are promoting the tax
exempt Federal power plants which
are destroying many tax-paying,
publicly regulated, private compan-
les. The President has submitted
budget which has only been exceed
ed in one year, 1917, in our history.
This years Federal deficit, as a re-
suit of the defense program, will be
in excess of s10,000,0 100000, even
though new taxes are to be levied.
Is this any time to destroy Industries
which pay hundreds of millions into
depleted public treasures? Each
where such a tax loss is
should think twice before
it. The power sociali-
zation drive should be abandoned
and abandoned right now. If for no
other reason, the taxpayers can't
afford it.

Winner May Meet Lem0s.
An interesting possibility is that
the winner be matched against
Richard Lemos, N. B. A. feather
king, for the undisputed world
championship. Washington, being a
member OF the National Boxing AS
Sociation, does not officially recog-
nize tomorrow's bout as being for
the title. Both WE'LL and Eddie
Walker, guiding spirit of Wright,
them 1cnlyoc -
post a 81 900 forfeit to meet Lemos.
WE'LL, in fact. says his money already
is filed with the New York Commits
sion, while Walker says he will post
his with the District Commission.
Forty three rounds are slated on
the program tomorrow night, with
two elght-rounders and two more
of six heats each supporting the
main 15-round bout. Sandwiched
among these preliminaries is a
promising affair that might provide
even more action than the headline
match.
1t is an eight-rounder between
Oscar (Thunderbolt Wright. stocky

and Jimmy Hatcher, Stablemate of
Archibald's.
Hatcher Has High Rating.
In recent rankings of the N. B. A..

try after the top spot in local anna
teur golf, but exactly that situation
loomed today for Roger Peacock,
the Indian Spring amateur who has
won everything there is to be won
on the links in this sector. Roger
took 78 in his first individual tour
nament start of the year. 1t hap
pened yesterday at Kenwood on the
opening day of the two qualifying
DAYS in the District amateur cham
pionship.
Roger isn't precisely out OF the
tourney, but a miracle is necessary
today to get him into the match
play rounds, for even in yesterday S
small starting field of 30-odd play
ers he was tied for tenth. And the
field is stronger today. as such ca
pable linksmen as Ralph Bogart,
Earle Skinker and many others hav-
ing more than a nodding acquaint-
ance with par we're to run through
their medal rounds. If the boys
score exactly as they scored yes

not get him in the top fight. And
the probability is they'll score bet

Dark Horse Entries Lead.
Topping the list on the opening
day were two dark-horSe entries
Jock OlmStead of Indian Spring and
Bill Wenzel of Kenwood. Both shot
3-over-par scores of IA. Other low

not make the championship flight
But those things happen in golf tour

played sloppy golf in that 7S and
never had a flash of his old form. In
