Chapel Hill Chaf

In his review of Gerald john
sons book on Andrew Jackson,
Mr.. Adams of the Literary Lam
tern alludes, incidentally to the
dispute as to whether Jackson
was born in South or North
Carolina, and says: Andrew
was not born at home in any
event" In those days it was
unusual not to be born at home
nowadays it is unusual to be
born there. When one of the
children of our village becomes
illustrious - when Bobby Koch
has the standing-room-only
sign out on Broadway, when a
Daggett builds the worlds
greatest bridge, or a Hogan di-
rects the course Of international
finance wonder if Who's Who
will contain the line, born in
Chapel Hill, n. c." If. so, then
the officers of the Durham His
torical Society for the Preserva-
ton of Tradition will come for
ward with the Watts Hospital
records and prove that the great
man was born in Durham.
There may be some of our citi-
zens who take this future humil-
iation lightly. 1t is "a serious
matter. For the sake of Chapel
Hills place in history we ought
to get into immediate communi-
cation with DR.. Rankin of the
Duke Foundation, procure a gen
erous allotment Of the fund at
his command, and erect here a
first-class hospital.

Late one afternoon recently
DR.. MacNider noticed a cluster
of pecans at the top of the tree
by his gate. They were too high
to shake down, and he went to
bed that night with the resolu-
ton to have at them next day
with an extra-long pole. Early
in the morning he heard a furi-
GUS iawing and, going to the
front door, saw a group of jay
birds in the tree. A closer in

DID YOU KNOW

That Harvard University was dedidated to the education of In dian youth?
 That Harvards charter reads that the college is dedicated to 'the ed ucation of English and Indian youth **** in knowledge and godliness. 2 That the second building erected at Harvard in 1854, was called ''The Indian College"
 That Caleb Cheeshateaumuck an Indian received his degree from Harvard in 1865.
 That Dartmouth College was an outgrowth of the Wheelock Indian School at Lbanon, Conn.
 That Chief Occom visited England and preached there to large audienc- es and thereby obtained 12,0OO pounds, the largest contribution ev- TT sent to the colonies for the foun- ing of an. institution for the propo- gation of Christianity among the heather Indians This institution later became Dartmouth College.
 That under it's charter Dartmouth College today will receive Indian youth without cost of tuition.
 That Lieut.. R. H. Pratt took group of Indians from the south. held as prisoners, and founded the famous Carlisle Indian School near Harrisburg, Pa.
 That his slogan, " To Civilize the Indian, Get him into Civilization; Let him Stay, was the first real ef- fort of treating the Indian as human beings.
 That no better solution has been offered by any educators or news paper men?

SURVEY NEEDED

Neil c. McGreggor stated that he had employed an engineer to survey his lot and was informed that it would be necessary to survey about nine city blocks to determine the exact location, as there was no re- cord of the subdivision survey. He asked the Council if it would meet with their favor to consider the fl ont line of his property as estab- Lshed by the line of buildings on Front Street and to measure the corners established by other build ings in the same block.
 Motion was made by Allen, se- eonded by Dinner that MT. McGreg- gor's action in establishing the boundaries of his lot as stated above be approved. Motion carried. INQUIRIES BUILDING ORDINANCE : MT. c. B. Swanson inquired if the building ordinance the building cf marquees as he contemplated adding one to his building and if any special permission of the Coun- cil was required, he would like to have the Council consider it.

YOU CAN HAVE FRIENDS
If you don't contradict people too

If you don't contradict people too much.
 If you don't pry into the personal affairs of the people you meet. If you say good word for things that you happen not to possess. If you will assume a spirit of happiness and pleasure in whatev- er walk of life you happen to be. In other words don't be kicker or knocker.
 If you will turn a deaf ear to most scandalous and ''catty'' talk. If you will respect everybody's religious belief even if you differ. If you will keep your attention more upon others than upon your self.
 Sounds like large sized order fill but in proportion as you are able to, you will have friends

ATHLETICS
Contributed

Another basketball season is clos ing with few honors won for Peters burg. Nevertheless, we believe the work of the year has not been lost
 The fact that wide-awake progress i've citizens of the town are sponsor 'ng the erecting of a gymnasium, at least gives the Athletic Association something to look forward to, with hope of better success next year.
 This is a move in the right direc- tion. While a few may criticize the movement, the fact remains, that in athletics, there is a saving power. It fosters cleaner boys, higher sense of honor, leadership, self-control and helps to establish character which may be rendered more efficient through mental discipline.
 In four years, the Petersburg High School has grown from four students to an enrolment of thirty with good prospect of twelve entering next fall from the present eighth e1ade.
 The foundation of this high school was not laid in fogy unprogressive ideas, and the organization of athlet- ics in the elementary school school . our years ago has been a very pow rful factor in the upbuilding of the resent high school. It tended to hold the boys and girls in school which enabled the high school to reach an enrolment which attract ed not only the youths of Petersburg out also of neighboring towns.
 Let the work of athletics go on. Again we say that it carries with it l saving power.

THE TAX BUGABOO"

Under the above caption, the Alas Ka Weekly of Seattle, Washington says: We can think of but one possible thing which can prevent a great pulp industry for Alaska and that is the unjust treatment of capi- tai already invested in other vital industries in the territory"
 The Alaskan in policy boosts for any thing of benefit to Alaska. It fails to see, however, the right of a Seattle paper, even if it camou- hages it's home port by assuming the appelation Alaskan"
 There are many things to keep the pulp industry out of Alaska, else said industry would have been estab- ilshed long since. The matter of title to sites and power, the matter e getting strangle hold on timber resources; the matter of transporta- ton; the matter of retroactive meas ure by British Columbia compelling the American investors in the pulp industry in B. c. to use the timber rights granted them or have said rights revoked and no doubt other good reasons could be pointed to.
 The whine about unjust treat ment" is nothing more than the de- nand of cannery interests that the present system of taxes be not changed. Under the present system the company operating the cannery within the Annette Island reserve pays to the Territory $1,8OO case tax; $1,20O trap tax which is refund ed by the Territory to the people of Metlakatla; tax of over $6,OOO to the people of Annette Island for fish taken in or from the traps.
 Ordinarily this company would have paid to the Territory a little over $3,00O. Under the system the company was more than willing to pay more than $6,OOO more for the fishing rights which was an accept ance of additional taxes equivalent to twice the amount of taxes reouir cd by law.
 As matter of fact, the canneries have never paid the same rate of taxes that they pay in the States.
 It is we'll to remember that our school population is growing faster than is the incoming population of the Ttrritory; that new build 1 ings, maintenance and cost of opera ton is quite burden in some con- r.unities. The fair distribution of | taxes, in proportion to the systtm taxes, as voluntarily entered in- to by the company, would permit of much more ambitious college at Fairbanks and mort even dis tribution of school funds. With a surplus indicated on hand, it would be possible to give to the different towns considerable more territorial aid than at presen.
 A fair taxation should not he objected to, and a taxation based on the Annette Cannery taxation, which was entered into voluntarily could not be declared to be one that will drive away possible investors.

 With dissenting voice, the Sen ate voted to defer for year, or until June l, 1928, the putting into effect of the national orgins oasIs tor determining who shall and who shall not be admitted to the United Staes. It is arbitrary. 1t is not sus- ceptible of exact determination. l But it is better basis than that Of the Census of 1890, which has been used up to this time as temporary , eApedient pending the working out of the national origins basis. This temporary expedient also is arbit- rary and is not fairly representative of the composition of America as whole.
 On the 1890 basis, some countries most notably Germany, the Irish free State, and the Scandinavian countries, have been able to send twice as many of their people to the United States as they could have done on the national origins basis. Groups undertaking to represent the interests of those countries have appeared to assert this favor as a right hand and to demand that it bu continued. And the Senate, no matter how much weight there may be to the argument that nationa origins basis has not been scientific ally worked out, appears to have yielded to the pressure of these hy- rhenate groups.
 A majority of the Immigration Committee, Senator Johnson report l nd favors the repeal of the national l origins clause of the law. Whether or not that should be done depends upon whether or not Congress can wrrk out sound plan on the basis l of character and the needs of the | country and without regard to na- tional origin. In the meantime, howl ever, the law as it stands should be | in the interest of Am e":ca. The national origins basis ] should be put into effect on June 1 of this year, as provided in the law. If the House will take the view of jhe situation, the action of the Sen ate in the interest of the hyphenated will be neffective.-The Outlook.

the presidents recommendation without a fight En-
gineers have stated that the minimum cost Of the pro-
posed works would be 00.000y0 o0, and leaders
throughout the lower valley states declare that IL the
cost were divided between the federal government and
the affected states upon g t~en-to-one ratio they would
be unable to bear their share Of the burden.
The president in his message spoke Of reelaiming
land in the lower Mississippi valley and pointed out
that there was no reason for departing from the policy
Of the government on reclamation in other sections TO
repair the distress of the lower Mississippi country.
However, the Mississippi project is not a reclamation
project and can in no way be construed as such. Most
Of the titled area in Louisiana subject to overflow has
supported a civilization for 125 years. Like areas in
Mississippi and Arkansas have been occupied for short
er periods, but can no more be elassed as reclaimed
lands than those Of the prairie states. These areas
must have protection from q new danger. a menace
which has resulted from development OF the prairie
states and changes made throughout the entire area
between the Appalachian and Rocky mountains. Flood
control on the lower Mississippi ~ not merely a To-
cal project. It il a national problem. and 1t is the
duty Of the president and congress to treat it as
such.

OUR ADMIRABLE CREIGHTON
New York Times)

There has been some idle talk about calling an
extra session Of the Senate in October. This would be
quite unnecessary. Senator Borah has arrived at
Washington. The Senate is therefore already in ses-
sion. The chairman OF the Senate Finance committee
is not present, but Senator Borah, who takes all
knowledge for his province, and whose fOible is ON
niscience. hastens TO take his place. He writes to Sec
rotary Kellogg pointing out the undesirability Of al
lowing the French government to refund its debt held
by private investors in this country until it agrees to
settle up its account with the Treasury o. the United
States. As if feeling that he may be accused Of run
ming before he il sent, he adds that the French debt
will soon be coming gefore congress. 1t is already be-
fore the senate in his own comprehensive person.
IL is not necessary to dwell upon Senator Borah's
extraordinary genius for being Of a contrary mind and
taking a position all his own. grand. gloomy and pc
culiar. Only in a narrow sense can il be said that the
French desire TO float a new lean in this country. What
they wish is obviously to borrow money at s per cent
in order to refund a loan on which they are now pay
ing 5. The result would be to save money for the
French taxpayer, who. Senator Borah sadly fears. is
being exploited. Perhaps if the French government
can by refunding put money in its pocket, il will be
better disposed to ratify the debt agreement with the
United States Treasury. The Idaho senator is also
desperately afraid that the American taxpayer is in a
fine way to be "swindled." But a creditor who is
helped to get all that an embarrassed debtor can pos
sibly pay does not ordinarily consider that he has
been cheated in the operation.
No such sordid views Of the facts or Of finance,
no attempt to understand the realities of international
sentiment, can affect a senator whose mind moves in n
sphere so far above ordinary mortals. Nothing is left
for them but to wonder and admire. Under their
breath, however, their wonder will be how Senator
BOrah cOntrives 50 often and 50 brilliantly to miss
fire.

Mississippi Flood Control

The recommendation contained in President
coolidge's message that the lower Mississippi valley
states pay at least part Of the cost Of flood control
works proposed by federal engineers has created dis
may IN the Mississippi valley country. Bankers. en-
gineers. editors. farmers and merchants Of the lower
Mississippi section are unanimous in asserting that
the states cannot make substantial contribution toward
adequate works for the control Of floods. They state
that all they can do has been done. II the enormous
~ expensive works. now generally admitted to be
necessary TO prevent a repetition Of last springs dis
aster, are TO be constructed, the federal government
must bear the burden. The financial resources OF
the states directly affected are Inadequate 10 meet
the expense.
The proposed spillways and levees are going 70
cost many scores Of millions Of dollars, and the levee
districts Of those states could not raise a substan-
tal proportion IL their existence depended upon IL.
Most Of the levee districts are already bonded 10 the
limit. and the financial situation resulting from the
overflow last spring has left many Of the dis
tricts virtually penniless, unable to collect suffi-
cient taxes to meet the interest and sinking fund
requirements.
The prevailing opinion throughout the Mississippi
valley prior to the publication of the presidents mes
sage was that the administration would be generous.
Secretary Hoover's statements had lulled the fears Of
farmers and landowners and they awaited only the
engineers plans, confident that the federal govern
ment would undertake the work. Naturally there is
considerable bitterness among those who have had
their confidence shaken b. the presidents message
They now realize that in order 10 secure adequate
funds for the flood control works a determined fight
must be made in congress. However, the most bitter
