Agricultural College, N. D., October
15.-Attorney W. S. Stambaugh of
Fargo addressed the students of the
agricultural college last Monday in
the weekly convocation exercises. He
took for his subject Taxation" and
outlined the different forms in which
taxes have been collected and ex-
pended during the time covered by au-
thentic history. He followed this
description with the modern definition
of Taxes and with the Qualifications
as presented in Political Economy for
the existance of taxation, and then
discussed the modern methods and
purposes of taxation, i. e. direct and
indirect, and the principles which
should govern the imposition of taxes.
Incidentally the tariff question OBJ
tanned consideration and the ways in
which taxes have been manipulated to
the upbuilding of trusts. :
Constitutional provisions and re-
strictions as to taxation we're men
toned but particular emphasis was
laid on this point, that no absolute
uniformity is ever attainable. The
whole question always came back to
the history of the Individual citizen
and unfortunately there existed those
who in their greed would avoid taxes.
The students in traction engineer
ing have commenced their field work

care of students taking this work.
