THE EDUCATIONAL TANGLE

The Williston Herald has this to
say of the educational matter:
"At the same time it would seem
that the Bismarck Tribune has the
common sense end of the argument
when it urges that there is too much
of duplication in the work being done
by the State University, the Agricul-
tural College, the Normals and the
other schools. 1t has pointed out
that while the State University has
an engineering department, the State
Agricultural college is also building
up a strong department to teach en-
cheering. A brief engineering
course, devoted mainly to farm engi-
neering problems, might be consid-
cred essential at the Agricultural COL
lege, but certainly there is no need for
the state to support two colleges of
civil and electrical engineering, when
one such school can give all the in
struction necessary in this branch of
learning.
"In the department of education
also, there is a tendency or the part
Of the University and Agricultural
college to trespass upon the field of
the Normal schools. The Bottineau
School OF Forestry is extending it's
agricultural department to compete
with the Agricultural college, while
the State School of Science at Wah-
peton is finding it difficult to teach
any subject without treading upon
somebody's toes. Educators who
have investigated our state educa-
tional system have declared it is diff
ficult to assign any logical place to
the Wahpeton school.
"North Dakota, in the organization
of her educational system, can well
take her ideas from Minnesota and
Iowa, rather than from Michigan,
where duplication of departments has
resulted in the building up of what
amounts to two state universities to
the exclusion Of any adequate in
struction in agriculture"

sideration of the court. Attorney E.
P. Totten was a candidate for the Of
flee of probate court and during the
campaign, it is said, announced that,
if elected, he would rebate to the
county any part Of his salary over
$1,299 per year. He was elected and
as the office has been paying $1,000 a
year, his opponent, F. E. Diehl, re-
fuses to give up the office on the
ground that the successful candidate
at the polls disqualified himself by
violating the corrupt practice act.
This is a peculiar issue to raise but
it is sufficient for the present to keep
Mr.. Totten from taking office.

GUNPOWDER KILLS AND

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 8.-When he
tried to prime the cylinder of gaso-
line engine with gunpowder instead
CT gasoline, Milo Collier was killed
and nearly decapitated by the explos-
ion which followed yesterday.
He was an employee of the Fairburn
and Atlanta railway. The engine was
on one of the suburban cars, and the
regular way to prime 1t in the morn
ing is with gunpowder, but this time
something went wrong and the whole
front of the engine blew up.
There seems to have been some
doubt as to whether the explosion was
due to too much gunpowder OF to
gas.

NJ ADOO REPORTS
To CONGRESS ON
HIS DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S.
Radical changes in the income tax to
reach thousands not now subject to
its provisions and to improve the ma
chihery of collection were suggested
to Congress today in the annual re-
port of Secretary McAdoo as means
by which the greater part of the adj
ditional reevnue needed to pay for
the administration national defense
plans can be provided. The Secre-
tary proposed to lower the exemption
limits so as to tax married persons
with incomes as low as $4,000, anod
single persons with $4,000 incomes.
The exemptions now are $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively.
Increases in the collection force, a
requirement that returns must be
Mldae of gross income in place of
net income, and change so that the
tax shall be withheld at the source,
were among Mr.. McAdoo's other sug-
gestions. He made no estimate of the
number of persons who might be
taxed if the amendments were adopt
ed nor the amount that might be ex-
Dected, but in connection with his
request for larger collection force
he pointed out that examination of
the part personal and corporation re-
turns showed that So per cent of those
Inspected disclosed that additional
tax was due the government. On the
basis Of the examinations, the Sec
rotary says that apparently more
than $4,6OO,O00 in personal tax and
more than $2O,S91 900 in corporation
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-12-08
tax is due the government.

lex Is uue LHe government.
MANY inaccurate returns are
made" said the report, some DELHI
erately and some ignorantly, and
there are without doubt, wholesale
evasions of the law throughout the
country. 1t is absolutely certain that
the government is losing through in
az curate returns and evasions of the
law sum many times greater than
the cost of the necessary field force to
investigate and check the returns and
tc bring to account those who are
afiling to make returns as required
by law"
In keeping with his recent an
nouncement Mr. McAdoo suggested
the present stamp tax and the exist
ing duty on raw sugar should be re-
tanned in force and said again that no
issue of bonds is necessary either to
provide for current expenses or in
anticipation of added burdens to
policy of military preparedness.
THE policy of providing for the
expenditures of the Government by
taxation and not by bond issues" said
the report, lis undoubtedly a sound
one and should be adhered to. A
nation no more than an individual, can
go constantly into debt, for current
expenditures without eventually i'm
pairing credit. A wise, sound and
permanent policy of raising the addi-
tional revenue for preparedness and
the expenditures of the Government
should therefore be devised and adopt
ed"
Mr.. McAdoo expressed that with a
return of peace in Europe customs re-
ceipts which fell off $S6,O00,000 in the
last year will increase and that the
legislation suggested, with a provis-
ion to make the surtax of the income
tax law applicable at $4,000 instead
of $4,000, the whole or part of the
additional revenues can be raised.
