" I'HE' S ALEaiTE CURRENT HISTORY The Melloii ta::: rates, for so long a subject of such hot discussion, have at last been voted down, and replaced by the plan set forth by Mr. Garner, Democrat, of Texas, 'i ius bill fixes the sur tax minimum f'>r incomes of over $92,000 at 44> per cent and for those of more than $100,000 at 25 per cent. Other in come tax rates are reduced loM’er than vvas Mr. Mellon’s idea and various exemptions are increased. Representative Fear of Wisconsin had proposed an amendment to cut the rates in half and to leave the schedule exactly as it was before, but this was voted down. The Garner bill was passed by the Democrats with the aid of a few insurgent Republicans, one farmer- laborite and one independent. The insurgents, who had held a dead lock and refused all appeals made by the organization Republicans, compromised on the 44 per cent plan, their original goal having been 50 per cent. Representative Garner proposed an amendment to make stock divi dends taxable, but was not so suc cessful as in his other plan. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 141 to 127. Edwin Denby, Secretary of the ^avy, sent his resignation to Presi dent Coolidge, who received it with regret. This resignation is a result of the oil investigation, although Denby maintains that his record is clear and that this action is for the purpose of saving the President any further embarrassment. He says he is giving sufficient time for any im peachment proceedings, as the resignation does not go into effect Until March 10. Denby declares h-mself to be still sure that his policy was right. Accepting in a letter to Denby, Mr. Coolidge said, “You will go with the knowledge that your honesty and integrity have not been impugned.” No one has been con sidered, as yet, for a successor. Al- tiiough numerous rumors as to the next official to resign, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, whose name a, associated with that of Mr. JJenby in the oil scandal, stated he had not resigned. The question of the resignation of Vttorney-General Daugherty, also 'nvolved in the oil investigation, is a very important one. Many pro tests against his retaining office have been received at the White House. No statement concerning ^Ir. Daugherty’s position will be ®ade, either by himself or any other member of the Cabinet. Mr. Denby’s resignation is the first change in the Cabinet since Mr. Harding’s death. A delegation of McAdoo support ers drew up a resolution of con fidence and asked him to accept the leadership of the progressive democracy of the nation.” The re solution further declared that Mc Adoo ' “is pre-eminently available as the Demorcratic candidate for the high office of President of the United States and is the hope of the progressive thought of the nation.” After the resolution had been adopted, Mr. McAdoo was ^alled upon for an address and re ceived an enthusiastic reception. He again stated his exact official rela tions with E. L. Doheny, as he had done for the investigation com- ®aittee and spoke of the crisis con fronting the nation. The platform stated by Mr. Mc Adoo consists of the following pledges; To rid Washington of offi cial corruption; to have a new in ternational conference for the pro- *notion of peace; to submit the ques tion of such a conference to a popular referendum; and “to take the grip of Wall Street off the Treasury Department and the ■federal Reserve System.” MR. BAUCOM SPEAKS AT Y. W. VESPER SERVICES {Continued from page one) •worked his way through school. He ’.vas graduated with highest honors, nd is today one of the greatest •ninisters of tlie South. Mr. Baucom poke of Abraham’s obedience to lod’s commands. If the tasks seem lard, people should remember ‘Whatsoever He saith unto you do t.” God wants willing service, and here is a reward for all service, ’’aithfulness is what counts and everybody can be faithful to his asks. Mr. Baucom closed his in- cresting and beneficial talk by re eating the keynote to his message, M^iatsoever He saith unto vou do t.” He said that Jesus speaks to peo- )le today. Abraham, Moses, Joshua, ind the prophets called men to eave all and follow Jesus. Today Jesus speaks through peoples con- ;ciences, and also speaks through providence. Jesus never tells peo ple to do impossible things; He calls for definite and specific ser vices. Mr. Baucom illustrated by telling the story of a poor stammer ing boy who, while he was chopping cotton one day, heard the voice of Jesus calling him to preach. Mr. itretchcd out His hand over the stormy seas and said, “Peace.” Mr. Baucom spoke of Jesus’ power to control demons, and His power over death. MISS WEISAL SPEAKS AT WEDNESDAY CHAPEL {Continued from page one) uon of the preparation necessary for capable leaders. What part in social order ought the church to play? Can one work with people? What is strong? What is weak? We must face facts as we see them -oday. We must develop skill in forming facts; we must weigh evidence, and we must remain open- minded. The opportunity of self expression is valuable to the church. One must constantly provide new experiences of greater interests, ind build up convictions beneficial to oneself. As one finds oneself increasingly ready for service, the church today offers unlimited means towards one ;xpression, “We can do all things hrough Him.” Such are a few of the questions ind suggestions which Miss Weisal 3'ave in an interesting manner last tVednesday morning. ANNOUNCEMENTS On Wednesday, February 27, at the Expanded Chapel Service, Miss Joiner, of the North Carolina Hos pital for the Deaf Mutes at Mor- ganton, will speak. She will have with her a class of deaf and dumb children from the hospital, and will demonstrate how they are taught to speak and understand. Miss Joiner has charge of Normal Instruction at the North Carolina School for the Deaf and is considered by national authorities as an expert in this work. The demonstration which she and her class will give will be very instructive. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of its kind to be given on any college platform. Thursday night at 6:30, in the living room of Alice Clewell Build ing, the French Club will hold its regular meeting. This is the first informal meeting the club has had and, after a very short program, games and songs will be enjoyed. Everyone be sure to be there! ! Excused “Please excuse the absence of Willie yesterday. He had to take his father to the circus." MISS DESHA LECTURES ON MUSICAL LIFE OF GRIEG Miss Lucy Ldgan Desha gave a very instructive and interesting lecture at Miisic Hour, Thursday afternoon. Her subject was “An Appreciation of Grieg.” Miss Desha began by pointing out the striking similarity between the lives of Grieg and Robert Louis Steven- on. Stevenson portraj'ed Scotland in words, and Grieg portrayed Nor way in tone pictures. Grieg was born in Bergen, Norway, June 15, 1843. Four generations of Greig’s before him had been representative citizens in the community. His mother was a concert pianist of ordinary ability. Tlirough the in fluence of Ole Bull, a friend of the Grieg family, Grieg entered the Leipsig Conservatory and adopted music as his life work. After leav ing the Conservatory he went to Denmark. There he occupied him self with teaching, conducting, and playing church organs. He also be gan composing, and his compositions won the praise of Listz. Grieg spent the latter part of his life in Bergen. He made occasional concert tours, but he always prefered not to ap pear in public. He died September 4, 1907. Grieg’s music is decidedly indivi dual in character. In it the in fluence of natural surroundings an! a srtong national spirit are evi dence. Its distinctive qualities are grace and variety of expression, unusual rhythms, and much poetic emotion. Grieg’s music has been vividly described as being like “a glass of fresh water in a desert.” At the conclusion of the lecture Miss Desha sang a delightful group of Grieg’s songs. Her accom paniments were played by Miss Ruth Duncan. The following songs were rendered: Ich Liebe Dich. Mother’s Sorrow. The Princess. Good Morning. Slumber Song. The Last Spring. EXCHANGES Radio “Fans” must pay to “listen in” in Australia. Every purchaser of a receiving set must present a license showing that he has sub scribed and paid for the service of the station operating on the wave length to which the instrument be ing purchased is adjusted. For every broadcasting station he wishes to use, he pays separately. The sets are sealed and government inspec tors investigate and check up the subscriber to see what seals have not been tampered with. —Exchange. SAWLESS PROCEEDING The teacher was giving the class a lecture on “gravity.” “Now, children,” she said, “It is the law of gravity that keeps us on this earth.” “But please, teacher,” enquired one small child, “how did we stick on before the law was passed?” —Exchange. MINNESOTA CO-EDS TAKE FENCING Fencing at the University of Minnesota has sadly fallen from grace and is now listed with those sports in which women indulge as well as men. Since some of the Co-eds have entered the fencing class it is ex pected that this added attraction will greatly increase the number of male duelists. A mixed class is be ing conducted at present, but if the number of female students increase, two classes will be formed. —Exchange.
