Ave e s o d The wise old prophets of the ring now figure in the daily news, and they explain, like everything, why Carp will win or why he’ll lose. These sev- enth sons of seventh sons are always here to guide us right whenever pugilistic ones are scheduled for a drastic fight. The mantle of Elijah falls upon the wise men of the ring, and every dead game sport recalls that prophet-eering has its sting. For if the prophets all unite to say that Jack will win the scrap, and Jack is beaten in the fight, how shall each prophet save his map. The prophets told me, years ago, that Willard had {a lead pipe cinch, and after seven rounds or so, poor Jack would be too dead to pinch. And so I wagered all my means, accord- ing to the prophets’ rede, and when the winners got their beans my bank account was gone to seed. The prophets said, in days of old, that Corbett was the prince of blows, and he would knock Fitzsimmons cold among Nevada’s ghastly snows. And so, to bet on Jim’s success, 1 put my watch and cow in soak; conceive my subsequent distress —I never was so badly broke. I shall not bet on Jack or Carp, no matter what the prophets say; while they predict I'll tune my harp, and spring a mad and mer- ry lay. WALT MASON. (Copyright by Georse Matthew Adams.) START DRIVE TO COLLECT MILLIONS DUE IN TAXES Flying Squadrons” to Visit Every Large qity in Campaign to Get Delinquent Amounts. Millions of dollars in delinquent taxes and penalties will be collected, the internal revenue bureau esti- mates, as a result of a nation-wide tax drive ordered to begin in July by Commissioner Blair. “Flying squad- rons” are to visit every large city in the country. Special attention, Mr. Blair said, will be directed to the collection of the excise tax on sales by manufacturers, the transportation tax, the so-called luxury tax. and taxes on jewelry, t let articles, proprietary medicines, soft drinks and amusements. Several millions of dollars are being lost by the government annually, Mr.. Blair declared, through failure of re- tailers to collect the full tax on toilet articles and medicines. Soft drink venders are to be investigated, he said, and required to keep proper rec- ords, and the recent arrest of ticket scalpers in New York will be followed by similar prosecutions where theater i Picket brokers fall to flle monthly tax | returns. «“ ! —are not here today and Our Trusses are fitted for this attention. 6th and H AUTOMOTIVE B.C.

The bituminous operators, the state- ment of the association said, have ex- pressed themselves to Senate comm tee and government officials as en- tirely willing to co-operate with the government in giving voluntary in- formation for public use, as to pro- duction, distribution and prices of coal. They insist that the Freling- huysen blil, which makes the sub- mission of this data compulsoryy’ violates the Constitution in that it at- tempts to enforce the disclosure of information concerning matters which are not within the power of Congress to_control.” “The bill, If passed,” the statement adds, “would be a forerunner and precedent for similar paterpal and regulatory legislation with reference to every line of private busines: “If Congress has the power to enact legislation of this character concer ing the coal industry and all co sumers of coal, it must have the same power to enact similar legislation with reference to other lines of pri- vate business, and if it is conczded that such legislation offers a panacea for supposed evils in the coal indus- try. it will, in similar fashion, be assumed that by legislation can be found a cure-all for every supposed defect in private business. “Such a program of legislation. once embarked upon, will lead rapidly to the destruction of private initiative competition, and the whole structure of the producing and merchandising business of this countr.
