The S390,0O0 for the Univer-
slty recommended by the state
budget commission, as an an
nual maintenance fund. was
raised to $426.00O Tuesday by
the legislatures Joint committee
on appropriations.
This is $4,000 less than the
allotment for the present year.
1926. 600 less than was original
ly granted by the last legisla-
ture. and $46S,0 900 less than was
received in 192S-1929. In
period when the enrolment Of
students has increased by about
so per cent the appropriation
has been cut by about so per
cent.
The meagre increase of $36,-
900 over the budget commits

Foreigner Freed
Presidential TelephOning Causes Flu
kusatO to Be Rescued from Jail

There was a great stir in the
village last week over the incar-
ceration of Jisaku Fukusato,
Japanese student, in the Wake
county Jail in Raleigh. He had
failed to comply with the provi-
sions of the law relating to for
eigners in the United States, and
the federal authorities had him
taken to Jail to await deporta-
ton to his native land.
Some of the students were
outraged at this action and ap-
pealed to President Graham. The
President telephoned the direc-
tor of immigration in Norfolk
and then telephoned Senator
Bailey. He tried to get into COM
munication with Secretary of
Labor w. M. Doak, but the Sec
retary was out of reach. While
Senator Bailey was endeavoring
to arrange Fukusato's release
Secretary Doak was found and
telegraphed the United States
Marshal in Raleigh to release the
student into Mr.. Graham's GUS
tody.
Since then Fukusato has been
a guest at the Presidents House.
Before long he will be leaving
for Japan.

We find in The States Voice
support for the opinion which
we express, elsewhere in this is
sue, about the sales tax.
SUCH a tax" writes 0. J..
Peterson, seems almost the
only feasible way to levy a tax
upon many people who make
fair incomes. During the pros
porous years tens of thousands
of men and women drew fine
salaries or made high wages
without paying practically any
tax.
True, such a tax will place
a degree Of burden upon the ex-
tremely poor, but anybody who
cannot pay a bit of tax should
be a fit subject for public as
sistance. The omission of the
essentials of life from the tax
able list of commodities should
serve to give the desired relief
to the very poor, while making
it possible to levy some tax up
on those who make good incomes
and pay neither property nor in
come tax.
"The property owners and
those coming within the scope of
the income tax will have those
additional burdens to bear. The
tax, when placed upon purchas-
ers, seems about the fairest pos
sible to discover. Care should
be taken, however, to enable the

Many citizens who have never

from $1,000 to $1,000. The
