City Sales Tax Adopted
One-Cent Tax
Goes Into Effect
On Moy lst Here

Lexington voters voted ap-
proval of a one per cent sales
tax in a special election Tues
day in which 442 of approx
mately 800 qualified voters
participated.
The vote was 312 for the
proposition and 1870 against.
The Board of Aldermen.
Tuesday evening in its regu-
lar monthly meeting adopted
the ordinance which gives
legal authority for the mea-
sure.
Collection of the additional
one per cent sales tax will
begin or. May LIST.
Collections will be by local
business firms which also col
lect the three per cent state
tax. All reports are made to
the State Tax Commission
which in turn mails checks
back monthly to the munich
palities which have imposed
the tax, less a five per cent
collection fee.
City officials of Lexington.
have promised all sales taxes
will be used for street and
sidewalk Improvements, at
least for this administration.
Legally the funds cannot
be earmarked, SO any future
board would have authority
to decide in what manner the
furds would be used.
The municipal sales tax
was opposed by a large group
of merchants in the commu-
nifty who feel the addition of
the tax will restrict trade
and hurt business in LeXing-
ton.
The measure was opposed
by The Advertiser for the
same reason, although this
newspaper stressed the fact
it was rot telling anyone how
to vote on the measure. In
stead it encouraged everyone
qualified to be certain and
vote.

While the action will be
viewed only as a result of
the U. S. Supreme Courts
decision last week, it is zone
theless welcome.
Rep. Marks is quoted as
saying that members of his
group represent more than
half of the people of the state.
We can only add we hope
the Marks group will come
up with a reapportionment
plan that will be fairer and
more equitable than the one
devised for. congressional re-
iistricting.
The people of the now
merged second and third con-
gressional districts are the
most under-representei in
the state, or will be when
either Jamie Written or
Frank Smith is elimir.a ted in
the coming contest. There are
100000 people, three times
as many as in the Winslead

1868 Schedule

Navy reissued its 1868 foot
ball schedule today, but the
site of at least one home game
won't be decided until sometime
next spring, when the National
Football League schedule Is re-
leased.
Navy would like to play Pitts
burgh in D. C. Stadium October
26. but under the terms of an
agreement between the Red
skins and the Armory Board,
which controls the stadium, no
game can be played in the
stadium "a hours before a Red
skins date.
Capt. Bill Busik, the Navy
athletic director, has said he
would like to play Pittsburgh In
Washington. especially after
the controversy involving the
two schools when Navy won,
1919, in Norfolk last month.
This was the game of the
"limping halfback." Jim Stew
are, the Navy TANKER back, left
the Middies' huddle clutching
his knee and scored on what
some called a sleeper" play.

NAVY ELANKER IS MIGHTY MITE
Lack of Size Doesn't Stop Stewart

were a split-T team it would
have been different.
He had too much natural
ability to be forgotten, so we
made him a TANKER back. He's
ideal for a receiver-well co-or-
dinated. good reactions and
good hands. He's the Tommy
Mcdonald type, although he
isn't that fast. He can dodge
and he'll usually find some way
to get open"
Has Plenty Of Cuts
He got open twice in last
years Army game when the
Middies won. 1877, for their
third straight victory. The first
pass he caught came in the
midst of a drive that ended
with Mather kicking his first
field goal to put Navy ahead,
80.
His next reception was on a
38-yard play to the Army IS.
On the next play Bill Ulrich,
whom Hardin tabled as Navy's
secret weapon, scampered into
the end zone and put the Mid
dies ahead to stay. 1877.
Stewart has all the CUTS in
the world" Hardin says, "and
you can't go wrong with a kid
like that"
But a highly developed COM
petitive spirit can't overcome
