night before the" North Carolina
club on the changes in North

be amazed at the changes the
legislatures have made since
1925," stated Dr. Seawell.- Dr.
Seawell first discussed the bud
get law, passed under Governor
McClean, which provided for
budget committee. All appro
priations made by the legislature
are only the proportionate and
maximum amount of that ap
propriation and' not the definite
amount, the definite amount be
ing determined by. the commit
tee. . ;
Dr. Seawell discussed the lo
cal Government act which makes
it necessary for all counties to
have their budgets and bond
issues approved by a special
state commission. He then went
on to tell how the state had
taken over the highways.
He then discussed the school
machinery law, . telling how
the schools have been cut
in recent years. He also dis
cussed the new taxes, stating
that the legislature's abolish
ment of the land tax is uncon
stitutional. He said that the
sales tax is unfair to the little
man. ' .

Seniors to Meet

meeting of the senior class
tonight in Gerrard hall at

Frank P. Graham
Opposes Repeal
President Frank Porter Gra
ham, when asked in Raleigh
Sunday, to give his views on
prohibition, stated that he was
opposed to repeal of the 18th
amendment because the liquor
traffic is a menace to society.
While in Raleigh to hear the
Hon. Clyde R. Hoey address a
mass meeting of drys, Dr. Gra
ham gave his views on prohibi
tion as follows:
"We who still support prohi
bition are not unaware of prohi
bition's many failures and their
sinister implications. We, too,
believe that the truest prohi
bition is the self-control that
comes from within the indi
vidual. "But we also believe that
freedom . and elf -control find
their re-enforcement in the en
vironment of the community and
sanctions of society.
"I am opposed to traffic in
liquor for the fundamental rea
son : that i L am for abolition of
child labor, night work for. wo
men, the long work week, low
wages, war, and many other
forms of . human exploitation
that tear down and destroy the
bodies and personalities of hu
man beings."
