...Tiger players feel that tomorrow is the day when Princeton should at last string scoring form which it has failed to attain in its opening four encounters. Only against Penn have the Tigers evidenced some of the offensive which they pack on paper, and yet against Penn, lack of scoring punch handed Princeton its second defeat in 31 games.

In making this statement he chose to ignore the fourteen different New Deal enactments which levy indirect and hidden taxes. These raise the rate to 68 cents to the dollar; a fact just as well over locked in a Democratic speech...
