NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.-Along

Oklahoma, Nebraska
Battle for Second
Fiddle in Big Six

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 28.-Two
teams which, according to preseason
predictions, were supposed to fight 1t
out with Missouri for the Big Six
title will ring down the conference
curtain tomorrow at Lincoln, Nebr.
But no crown awaits the winner
of this anti-climactic clash between
Oklahoma and Nebraska-nothing
but the doubtful honor TO playing
second fiddle to great Tiger team
which crushed all conference oppo-
sition.
Some make Oklahoma a favorite
because of the sensational scoring
bursts which have come from Dewey
Luster's Sooners at times. But If
the Sooners finish ahead of the
Huskers they'll make gridiron his
tory.
Oklahoma never has won on
Nebraska's home soil. Their serie-
dates back to 1912.

An Appealing Tale

The right of appeal is funda-
mental and sacred in the American
way of life. A convicted defendant
may ask for review of the evi-
dence and bring out facts in error
or in mitigation of punishment. He
may do it informally at home, when
his wife has accused him of sweep
ing ashes under the rug, or formally
in court, when he has been charged
with anything from overtime park
ing to murder.
The whole theory of appeal is
based on the assumption that the
appellant has nothing to lose and
everything to gain. 1t is something
like having free ticket on a horse
race. II it clicks, we'll and good; If
not, the ticket holder is no worse
off than before. Hence appeal Is
popular, except with a few indi-
viduals.
Among these may be listed Mr..
Edward Chong Of Honolulu, who ap-
pealed flve-douar traffic fine and
drew year in the Oahu Jail. Any
one wishing to purchase a slightly
used right of appeal at bargain
price is advised to communicate with
Mr.. Chong, in care of the warden.

Taxes and Initiation

The warning by Leon Henderson,
administrator of the Office of Price
Administration and Civilian Supply,
in his speech at Atlantic City this
week that defense needs require
the rationing of materials used in
the manufacture of goods which
the public has been buying in in
creaSlng quantities serves as a sharp
reminder of the fact that the present
emergency will involve far-reaching
changes in our national economy. AS
MIR. Henderson pointed out, expand
ing purchasing power is running
ahead Of the available supply of
civilian goods. Unless steps are taken
to hold these two in proper balance,
mo power on earth can prevent in
f1ation," he said.
Taxes are one of the more effective
means of absorbing the increased
purchasing power created by de-
fense expenditures, thus providing
powerful bulWark against the forces
of imitation, and its attendant evils.
In order to achieve these ends, how
ever, the taxes must rest on a broad
base, and must be so devised as to
Siphon off as large a proportion as
possible of the extra consumer in
come. More specifically, it is Of vital
importance that the population
groups benefiting most from the
defense boom should turn back to
the Treasury a substantial part Of
their increased income.
Though the revenue bill soon to
be reported to the House provides
for heavy increase in the Nations
tax bill, the proposed levies rest upon
far too narrow base. If the measure
is to absorb substantial part of the
expanding purchasing power of the
American people and become an
effective brake on inf1ationary trends,
a broader base is clearly needed In
dividualS with incomes over $4,000
annually will be called upon to pro-
vide large part of the additional
revenue. The proposed bill does not
lower the present exemptions-$800
for single persons and $4,000 for
married persons. Nor does it boost
excise taxes to level many author
tiles hold to be desirable.
In discussing the revenue measure
in The Star Radio Forum this week,
Representative Duncan, a member
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, cited as one of the arguments
against broadening the base, through
lowering the exemptions, the costs
involved in administering returns
from lOW-income earners. 1t costs
the Bureau of Internal Revenue ap-
proximately $3.50 to handle each
return upon which a tax is paid, and
SOC cents for each return upon which
no tax is paid, he pointed out. 1t
seems logical to assume, however,
that by increasing the number of
taxpayers, the administrative cost
per return would be reduced. And
in any event this cost argument
ignores entirely the important coun-
ter-inf1ationary effect of broadened
tax base.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. Trace1peH.

One such instance was quite famous
several years ago. They got into the
home of prominent Government Off
cial while the family was away.
Upon return, the owners found that
the rodents had literally gnawed away
all the woodwork around windows and
doors throughout the mouse.
Hundreds of dollars was necessary in
repairs.
1t is not as easy to get sornered
squirrel out of a garage as one might
think, offhand.
The animal is frightened, Ill at ease,
wary, ready to bite.
And a squirrel bite, in case you don't
know, is real bite. Clear to the bone,
and laden with poison. Avoid a squirrel
bite, If possible. Heavy leather gloves
afford little protection.
The best thing to do is to steer clear
of the rodent. Give him plenty of room,
and way to get out. Put fresh seed or
peanuts just outside the door, but at
some distance, so that the animal may
see them but be far enough away to
permit some one to slip up and shut the
door.
Often the animals are frightened back
into the very place they have just de-
serted. Sometimes the best procedure is
to leave them alone for the rest of the
day. Once they find no one around,
they will come out of their own accord.
The problem of the bird which gets
into a garage is not so difficult.
The bird will do no harm, and in time
will fly out, if not frightened.
Old superstitions about birds in
closed places have many firm believers,
who can cite you names and times
There are still many persons who be-
lieve that the presence of bird indoors
is very bad sign" and that it is best
to take all steps to keep them outdoors,
where they belong
Certainly the birds like it best out
doors. Homes which feed the birds in
summer as we'll as in winter know that

Only recently jay hurtled into a

force that we felt sure that if the

bird would have broken the pane
This sudden flight was caused by an
irate mother cardinal, which had been
driving the jay away every time il

The cardinal evidently had a nest
somewhere, but where? We never did
| locate it, but it's presence was proved
by the visit of the mother cardinal and
