OF Others

There are people in every COM
munity who would take advantage
OF others to enrich themselves. This
holds good with cities and states.
The recent proposal to permit
cities to become separate units TO
ovade the distribution Of taxes to
aid rural population would establish
dangerous precedent.
If this be granted to Urban peo-
lle the rural populatiqS would auto
matically seek refuge in the same
way.
We could place toll gates to every
entrance to cities and charge 3 cents
per mile for use of highways.

Il remember well, said j. H.
Palmer, 70-year-old former regis
trar of the school, when President
Mckinley came to visit Us back in
1901. The Spanish American war
had not been long ended, and the
spirit Of martial days was still with
us. President MeKinley's principal
/ guest was General Joe Wheeler, an
Alabamian who had been a general
In the Confederate army during the
Civil War as well as serving as a
general in the Spanish American
conflict.
'The students marched before
him and on their shoulders in place
of guns each boy and girl carried a
selected stalk Of sugar cane. Presi-
dent Mckinley was a kindly man and
gave his blessing to the students
as he spoke.
iThe coming of Theodore Roose-
welt to Tuskegee III 1905 was a great
OCCASION" said Capt. William A.
Richardson, who served as grand

months preparing for the event.
