 CatiOnal Circles.

Ann Arbor, Mich, April tP - Creation Of a university college" which would serve as a foundation for collegiate and professional courses, and which also would pro- vide training for students who found it impossible to continue their education further was recom- mended today by a faculty con- mittee of the University Of Michi- gan. The division would take charge of all education to the end of the sophomore year.
 The recommendation now goes to the university senate and if ap- proved by that body will be sub mitted to the regents.
 Under the terms of the commit- tees recommendations the new college would have as its problem the student, instead of professional training. It would attempt to find the students individual capacity, to orient him to the university as a whole and to collaborate with the professional schools to see that 1 the students were trained to enter upon it's courses.

TAX PROBLEMS ARE UP
 TO VARIOUS LOCALITIES
Acting Secretary Mills of Treasury Speaks on Federal Finance
 

New York, April R>-The real tax problem lies, not in Washing ton, but in the state capitols. city halls and county seats throughout the country. declared Acting Secre- tary Mills of the treasury here last night in an address. He discussed federal finance. asserting that fur ther increase in exemptions or low ering of the normal rate of income tax would so limit application of the revenue law as to result in "a. pretty complete abandonment of the theory that taxes should be levi ed in accordance with ability to pay"
 While MT. Mills made no recom- mendations as to changes in the law, he said that the corporation tax was "out of line" The various governments received sixty-two cents of every dollar paid stockhold- CTS. he said. in urging revision of this tax.
 But I am speaking from the standpoint of the small stockholder of moderate means, and of the stockholdcr of moderate means even if his stockholdings in a small cor poration are large. The matter is real importance because of the pres ent widespread investment in cor porate stock on the part of millions whose income Is strictly limited.
 Falling as their income does in the lower brackets, they would not be taxed were Is derived from per sonal exertions from real property or from other sources, at more than one per cent or two per cent: but, through the corporation their pro- portionate share in the income of the latter is now taxed at 3i7 per cent.
