VOLUME XXXVI CHAPEL HILL, N., C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1927 NUMBER 13 CI (-II ' QY U. S. USES TARIFF INFORMATION IN SELFISH -MANNER Edward P. Costigan, Nationally Known Tax Expert, Addresses .Conference on Living Cost. America's reputation abroad is tot tering and her good faith with for , eign nations isruined as' the result of betrayal of confidences in the selfish use of information from tariff books of other countries made available to the United States Tariff Commission through a spirit of cooperation, ac cording to Hon. Edward P. Costigan, nationally known triff expert who spoke at the closing session of the Conference on Living Cost . in Ger rard Hall Tuesday night. . Mr. Costigan's subject was "The Tariff and Tariff Commission." He was introduced by- Dean Carroll, of the School of Commerce, as. a speaker thoroughly familiar with his subject, since he was a member of the original United States Tariff Commission, and is, in . point of service, the- oldest member of that body, having served on it for eleven years. At one time practically air of the more important countries of the world kept their tariff books open to one an other, but the feeling of the foreign governments has changed as a result of at least one instance, Mr. Costigan cited, when the president of the Unit- ' ed States, who under the present sys tem has complete control of the oper- . ation of the tariff in-this country, act ing upon the advice of the Tariff Com mission, refused to accept the sug gestions of the commission and made use of the figures procured from the books in a manner to secure a de cided advantage for American indus tries over those of the foreign coun tries involved. This is only one, of the detrimental results of the present system of tariff regulation in this country. -' ' -' " ' "- "The tariff question is highly im portant now because of three things its effect upon efficiency in govern ment, its utility in stopping warfare, and the effect that it has upon the high cost of living," Mr. Costigan as serted. . "Warfare is the most costly thiner to mankind, and the chief cj cause of wars is the rivalry of nations : for the markets of the world. Tariff regulations "tend to equalize all the markets, and thus to do away with wars. : "Tariff protection means only the raising of retail prices. Sometimes it does this and sometimes it doesn't. The tariff laws work in three wTays they increase government revenues, increase the prices of imported arti cles, and raise the prices of similar domestic articles. For instance,- a change of 1-2 cent in the rate charged on the imports - of sugar per pound will .make a, total difference of 75 million dollars. Likewise a two cent .duty on raw hides would raise the price ,of shoes' 25c a pair, or an in Continued on page four) ALUMNI IN NORTH TO BE ORGANIZED BYTYRETAYLOR ' Alumni Secretary Leaves on Trip To Organize Old Grads in Out-of-State Cities.

THREE HORNEY BROTHERS Once more the cake eaters reign supreme on the campus of the Uni versity of - North Carolina. One hun dred and ninety-three ambitious mem bers of that species, attired in every conceivable sort of togs, gathered on the Freshman Field at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon to enter the fifth annual "Cake Race," and exactly seventeen minutes and thirty-eight seconds later the last of the lucky hundred strag gled past the finish line and began the selection of the cakes" given by the ladies of Chapel Hill. The race, as usual was to 'the swift, and. even as Abou Ben Adhem "Red" Fisher led all the rest. At least, one of the "Red" Fishers, led all the rest, for there were three of the Fisher family who qualified far toward the front in the big classic. . This particular "Red" is J. V. Fish er, a sophomore who gained particular distinction through the state last year by means of his fine stable of saddle horses. Tuesday, however, he proved that he has something besodes an in terest in horses. .Second in last year's race, he I'omped home this time far in the lead, covering the one and nine tenths mile course in Exactly 10 min utes flat.

Team By Atlanta Sports Writers Feared May Develop Over-confidence. FARRIS LOOKS GOOD There is just one fear abroad on the campus of the University of North Carolina here as the Tar Heel grid men prepare for their contest with N. C. State in Raleigh Saturday af ternoon. That fear is that the praise given the North Carolinians by At lanta sports writers after the Georgia Tech game last week may make the team over-confident. Such statements as the one made by Morgan Blake, sports editor of the Atlanta Journal, "dean of southern sports writers, may give any team a feeling of cockiness, for Blake is one of the outstanding grid author ities of the South. Blake said that except for three minutes of the game when Tech was scoring her two touch downs, the North Carolinians com pletely outpointed the Jackets." He further described the contest as "the hardest won 13 to 0 football game that was ever played or ever will be played." Comments equally commendatory were made by other Atlanta writers, but the thing that the Tar Heels must remember this week is that Georgia Tech won. Moral victories do not count in the scoring columns, and the University coaches are grooming the Tar Heels this week to win on points and not on yardage gained in midfield. The Tar Heels found out last Sat urday that they could play football. They played the game as it has n,ot been played by a Tar Heel team in years, and they'll be putting up the same old fight this ' week. There is a spirit abroad in the Carolina camp this week that will not be denied, and that spirit will be driving -the .Tar Heels when they stack up" against State this week-end. ' Veterans. and rookies alike are liv ing this week with one end in view, and that end is a victory. Both vet erans and rookies are playing their heads off in practice scrimmages, and it looks like both will get their chances Saturday. There are several men who have held the bench all season who seem slated for action against the Wolf pack. 1 Among these youngsters is Ray Farris, one . hundred seventy-five pounds of fighting sophomore that really wants to play football. Farris ' played halfback in high school and end until a couple of weeks ago on the varsity squad, but he broke in at guard in both the South Carolina and Tech games and played brilliantly. He has been at left guard on the var sity in this week's practice. It now seems that he may oust the veteran Shuler Saturday. Others who may get their golden opportunities Sat urday are Sam Presson, end who has pushed McDaniel all season for the .

" The University of North Carolina student body will attend the Carolina State game in Raleigh Saturday. Arrangements were made yesterday for a special tram to be run from here, leaving here at 8:30 o'clock Sat urday morning and arriving in the Capital at 10:30. On the return trip the special will leave Raleigh at 11:59 that night.
