A Trip East

| visited Leslie Well at his
store in Goldsboro, and when I
was leaving he walked with me
to the door. A set of blue-gray
imported pottery seemed to me
very beautiful, and we stopped
and took some of the pieces in
our hands to examine them more
closely. Mr.. We'll turned a bowl
upside down to look at the bot
tom and deluged the counter
and the floor with water. This
shocked and surprised us, him
most of all. Whats the idea ?'
he asked, in a dazed tone. I'VE
were. just showing people that
it would hold water" said the
saleswoman behind the counter.
"Well, it didn't hold it that
time" remarked Mr.. We'll as he
dried his dripping sleeve with
a handkerchief. | fell" highly
pleased that it was the proprie-
tor Of the store and not myself
or the saleswoman who had
caused the flood.

A. II. Graham Coming
Speaker of House Will Talk about
Student Government April 8

A. H. Graham, speaker of the
house Of representatives in
North Cardinals General AS
sembly, will come here Tuesday,
April 8, to present to the Phi
and Di societies his observations
on the new student government
plan suggested by John M.
Booker.
Mr.. Graham had a prominent
part in student affairs when he
was in the University from
1908 to 1912 and has retained a
lively interest in them.
The visitor will be introduced
by Mr.. Booker and will then
assume the office of temporary
speaker of the joint meeting Of
the societies.
The plan suggested by lMr.
Booker would displace the coun-
Gil system Of student govern
ment by a system analogous to
that Of the national govern
ment; a legislative branch, con-
sisting of an upper and a lower
house; an executive; and a
court. Those who support the
scheme say it would stimulate
the student body's interest in
campus issues and would give
the undergraduates an oppor-
tunity for practice in the form
of government they are to live
under after they leave college.
The meeting will be open to
the public.

proposal to lay tax on news
paper circulation or advertising.
This is a form of sales tax. The
legislature is not willing to ac-
cept the suggestion for a general
sales tax, and there is no god
reason for singing the news
papers out for such an impost.
But it wearies me when | read
that some of the representatives
of newspapers offer protest on
the grounds that the levy would
be an. attack upon enlightment.
The plea iS-and it is advanced
whenever any proposal is made
to divert part of the newspapers
revenue into the public Golfers
that the newspapers spread
information and culture and that
for that reason they ought to
have special consideration. This
is bunk. The reason newspaper
owners don't want to be taxed
is the same as everybody's
reason: they simply don't want
to give up the money, This is an
entirely natural reluctance, and
| do not blame them for it at all.
But the pretense that their OPP
position to the tax is based upon
the public's interest rather than
their own-this gives me a pain.
If there were general sales
tax, Of course the newspapers
ought to stand their fair share
of it. And it seems to me that
the hullabaloo raised against
this form Of taxation is mostly
nonsense. A very small levy,
one per cent or even less, upon
sales would bring in all the
revenue the state needs for
schools and colleges, charitable
and other institutions, public i'm
provements, and would not be
unduly burdensome.
| have never known a time
when railroads, telegraph and
telephone companies, power
companies, and public utility
concerns in general did not resist
taxation violently on the score
that any more taxes laid upon
them would be "a blow at in
dustry." In this sort of talk
the power companies are run
ming true to form. Their hand
somely paid lawyers and lob
byists fairly weep at the thought
of the disaster in store for
North Carolina if the interests
in control of the states water
powers have to pay a larger tax

A Few Observations on Taxes

than they have hitherto paid.
These are crocodile tears. The
available information about
their earnings, present and
prospective, indicates that the
power companies can well afford
to increase their contribution to
the states tax fund.
A term that used to be much
in vogue in my circle of asso-
ciates when | was a college stu
dent, was chinchy, meaning
close, tight-fisted, stingy, Mig
gardly. 1t was considered
rather inelegant, but that made
1T none the less acceptable to us.
| learn from the dictionary
that the word is of ancient lin
cage. The form chinchy is not
given, but plainly it derives from
.chlnch, meaning to be niggardly,
and is akin to chjncher, a Mig
gard, and to chinchery, which
the dictionary says Chaucer
used in the sense of niggard-
illness. Anyway, chinchy has
always seemed to be more ex-
pressive than its various syno-
nyms: and it is the word that
comes to my mind when | re-
fleet upon the present attitude
of the state of North Carolina
in the matter of public school
education. That is, if the atti-
tude of the legislature reflects
that of the state. In the debates
|at Raleigh over the education
bill the senators and assembly
men, most of them, have exhib-
tied surprisingly little concern
for the welfare of the children
of North Carolina; all they APP
pear to be thinking about is the
soothing Of the financial nerves
of this, that, and the other in
terest. With as much wealth
as there is in this state, it is
folly and meanness not to pro-
vide suitably for the schools.
Thousands of people riding
about in costly automobiles,
dressing well, travelling, giving
lavish entertainments, dwelling
in splendid homes-who can see
all this and have the assurance
to say that North Carolina "can-
not afford" to measure up to
modern standards of education?
The trouble is, | fear, that the
class of people who are in the
best position to- be taxed are too
much the masters of the legis-
lators.

LEST WE FORGET

The war is over for most of us, but is it for everyone? How about the men iri the hospitals? Many of them have been there ever since the war, many will never leave. These men enlisted in the prime of life; they had their aspirations; now they spend their days in the ho9pitals turnout the land
 These are our heroes. Must we have the tread of marching feet, the cheers of the throngs to recog- nize them? We cheered them when they marched away, we cheered them when they returned-wIo cheers them now?
 Each year the poppy sale is held 10 raise money for these men and their families Tomorrow the little red poppy will breath it's message tc you. Buy it, wear it. There is no price, give what you can. Let your heart be the dictator and let Seward do her bit for those who are carrying on.
