 "A citizen deserves no credit for obeying laws in which he believes and which he has no temptation 10 violate,' he said.
 We have no right to disobcy d law because VIC think that law un- reasonable. l speak Of law obscrv- anCc rather than law enforcement Lot because of any lack of interest in the latter, but because l am con Ninced of the utter hopolessness of expecting officers to enforce effect ivcly laws which are being gener- ally violated by citizens high ana low"

Angell Says Too Many Pupils
 Only Want Social Standing

New York. Jan. 15.-LP)-Ameri- can youth, in the opinion of Dr. James Rowland AnGell, president Of Yale university, goes to college to large extent merely to gain social prestige.
 Addressing the annual dinner of the Colgate alumni of the New York district, he said the time had come 10 ask if the hunt for social prestige had not drawn hundreds into college who would have done better had they never been there.
 Colleges, he said, "should hon estly admit that they are obliged to reconceive their recruiting problem and begin to be responsible for their failure as well as for their achieve mcnts. When we come together we should not only think of the men the university has turned out who have become successful. but also Of those who have not met with suc- cess"

SUGAR RATE WILL
 BE DECIDED SOON
Senate Agrees to Final Ballot by
 Tomorrow Noon

Washington, Jan. 15 GPt-The sen- ate's raging controversy on the sugar noon tomorrow and a decision made which may wield q measurable in fiuence upon the eventual disposition Of the Shoot -Hawley bill as whole.
 The issue, at the center of which is the question Of increasing the duty on imports from Cuba, has not only caused widespread division in party ranks, but has even produced differences of opinion among the closely knit factions that exist with in the parties themselves.
 Voting Will Be Close
 Concededly the voting will be close. Regular republican leaders, however, are confident that they will score at least a partial victory in their efforts 10 increase the present tariff rate on the Cuban product from l,76 cents a pound to 20 cents. The conviction persisted to- day that doubtful votes, said 10 be held by eastern republican senators, in whose states large retineries which draw their supply from Cuba arc To- Cated, may settle the issue.
 Before the question is brought to a vote. d further expression of opinion is expected from Senator Borah of of Idaho, who. under existing condi- tions, favors a government bounty to domestic sugar producers as more effective than an increase in the tar if itself, Such a raise, he contends is nullifed by huge duty-free sugar imports from the Philippines.
 Two Other Proposals
 In addition to the bounty proposal and that of the regular republicans for an increase to 2.20 cents. rhere are two moro schools Of opinion. Senators Ransdell and Broussard of Louisiana, democrats, are vigorous ly sponsoring an increase to 2.40 cents, the figure approved by the House, and Senators Simmons of North Carolina, and Harrison of Mississippi, democratic spokesmen on tariff questions, favor the reten- ton of the 1.76 cent rate now ef- fective.
 Chairman Smoot of the finance committee, is leading the fight for the increase 10 20 cents. a figure approved by his committee. The regulars arc counting upon some democratic support when the sugar issue is brought to a vote and in addition look for some ballots from the independent group, especially from senators whose states produce sizcable quantities of beet sugar. Opponents of tho increase, how ever, feel that they have a good chance 10 win and several of them have threatened to vote against the tariff bill when the final roll is called. it an increased sugar duty is incor- porated in it.
