COLLEGE OF
COMMERCE NEEDS
NEW BUILDING
,By DEAN THoMpsoN)

The pressing need of the College
of Commerce, In so far as equipment
Is concerned, Is more class and office
room space. When the present Com
merce Building was built In 1918 the
number of students was two hundred
now the number Is twenty-one hun
dred. The increase in the size of the
faculty has kept pace with the growth
OF the student body.
Visitors to the Commerce. Building
are struck by the adverse conditions
under which the work is being con-
Quoted. In one Office room fifteen In
structors are housed, while In an
other are to be found nine. The
significance of this crowding becomes
apparent when Ii Is recalled that
every day--many times every day
each instructor on the staff of the
College is called On 20 advise students
concerning their work and progress.
Obviously none of these instructors
structors ever have chance for the
little confidential chats that mean so
much for our boys and girls.
Library facilities in the Commerce
Building are also too meager TO per-
init proper study. In single room
not more than fifteen by thirty feet
four or five tables and forty chairs
are supposed to furnish reading
facilities for twenty-one hundred stu.
dents---one chair for each fifty stu
dents. The result is obvious. The
students are no longer required as
was once the case to consult the best
books in their respective fields In the
preparation of reports, losing thereby
the close contact which they ought TO
be making daily with the leaders of
business thought.
The keynote of the Commerce work
attthe University of Illinois Is service;
and If the faculty succeeds in its ideal
the young people that go forth from
the College will carry with them a
wholesome desire TO help solve the
weighty problems which confront our
present complex business life. Some
Of them no doubt will aid In the solu-
tion of transportation problems, 9TH
er, of problems of marketing. and
suil others, Of problems Of business
organization and infringement.
The proper solution Of these prob
lens is of prime importance to or
ganized labor, which has always stood

Believing that a majority OF our

Labor's opposition to the licensing ineorpora-

fundamental difference between trade union and
corporation Is kept In mind.
The corporation Is artificial thing created by
the state. Certain features of IL controlled by
the state and in return for this control the stock
holders permitted to limit their liability.
Under the company partnership form of do
ing business each member of the firm is responsible,
without limit for the acts Of the other members Of
the firm. But when these business incorpor-
ate their liability is limited to the amount of stock
they own.
Because of limited liability the corporation
method of doing business Is favored
corporation can not be jailed, because il Is
not real. The usual method of discipline is TO fne
a corporation. which charges the fine to operating
expenses and raises rates If necessary, to meet the
deficit.
"A trade union has not the slightest similarity
with corporation.
When corporation Is regulated by the state the
liberty of stockholders is not afected-they may
not even be aware OF the proceedings.

SUPERVISOR
SHOULD BE
CITY MAN

Theer are many reasons why the
supervisor of Urbana township should
be a resident of Urbana, so that he
could be located on short notice.
All appeals for aid for the needy
must be made to the supervisor, ana
he must make a personal inyestiga-
tion of each appeal.
An order from the supervisor must
be secured before patient can De
sent to the county hospital or receive
the services of the county physician.
The supervisor must give an order
before a person can be sent to the
county farm.
Those are some of the reasons

not on duty, men in the military bar

leave of absence?
Answer-Do not know.
Question--What effects has the
military police had in your state on
the question of taxes? has it reduced
or increased them?
Answer - Increased them over
$500, 600 in two yesrst -,
Question-Does dual organization
not make for jealousy, passing the
buck chaos, decentralization of the
law enforcement ferces?
Answer-It certainly does.
Question--Is it not likely that one
or the other of them must ultimately
be displaced entirely, and because of
their very nature, will it not be more
difficult to displace the military force
than the other, so that in the end we
will have all military police enforc-
ing the law, rather than peace Off
GERS?
Answer--We got rid of the rangers
in anticipation of just such a possi-
bility.
Question--Will not that mean the
worst kind of militaristic form Of
government?
Answer--It certainly would.
Question-Does the establishment
of the military police have a tendency
toward bringing about militarism and
sentiment in favor of militarism in an
Objectionable form, likely to lead
ultimately to military dominence in
all affairs of government life?
Answer-It did here.
QUESTIONABLE these military police
themselves law-abiding?
Answer--No.
Question--Do they protect all citi-
zens in the exercise of their right of
free speech, free press, peaceful as
semblage impartially?
Answer-They did anything else
but these.
Question-Do they constitute a
menace to our American form of gov
ernment?
Answer-Yes, the worst menace
that ever threatened this state.

c0NSTAbULARY CURSE
TO STATE OF COLORADO:
ABOLISHED BY GOVERNOR

During war times the people of Colorado thought
state constabulary would be helpful in keeping down
any internal strife which might arise during those
troublesome times the legislature created the con-
stabulary But while the constabuay might have been
of some value as wartime measure it has since become
curse to the state, and has been abolished by the
governor.

ator F. Cross of Colorado warns Illinois against the
proposed constabulary for this state

At the first glance Of request for

would wonder "why ask for more for

ming from the president down to the

bers of students and building at least
another hundred will be added on the

and some sixty buildings located In

also has about 700 acres of land for
experimental purposes in tracts Of
