discussed the inequalities of the tax

That the question of taxation is
one of the most vital, if not the most
vital, question facing North Carolina
at the present, is generally accepted.
It is generally felt that the burden
of taxation is not fairly and equitably
distributed and that changes must be

Practically every college in the
state will send delegates to this as-j
semblage which is the first of its kind
ever to be held in North Carolina.
The list of speakers has not yet been
decided upon. However, it is prob
able that Dr. Soper, head of the Duke

Newest Law Review
Favorably Received
By Lawyers of State
The North Carolina Law Review
recently issued by the School of Law
has been favorably received in law
circles throughout the state. The Re
view is edited under the joint direc
tion of the students and faculty of
the School of Law. The December
issue is the largest yet published,
containing 120 pages. , .
The' leading article, "Contributory
Negligence," is by Professor Leon
Green, former dean of the Carolina
Law School and now a member of
the faculty of the Yale school. The
other-leading article is by Professor
Albert Coates on "Standards of the
Bar." The recent discussion in North
Carolina of standards of admission
makes this article especially timely.
The student editors of the Review
are selected by the faculty for out
standing scholarship. Editorial notes
and Recent Case Comments are writ
ten by the students. Selection as a
member of the Board of the Law Re
view is the highest honor which can
be won by " a law student prior to
graduation.

has chosen the study- of taxation as
its general topic for this year.
Five speakers were heard and their
. talks discussed during the fall .quar
ter. R. B. House, Executive Secre
tary of the University, gave the first
talk on the history and background
of taxation; following him came Dr.
Paul W. Wager,' secretary of the club,
giving an analysis of . the tax situa
tion in the state and suggesting some
remedies. The third talk was made
by Hon. A. J. - Maxwell, chairman of
the state tax commission, who discuss
ed taxes and reassessments. Dr.
Fred Morrison, secretary of the tax
commission, followed Mr. Maxwell
with a detailed analysis and study of
the state's public debt. Th.e last talk

Hibbard, and Professors J. P. Har
land and F. H. Koch."
Dean Addison Hibbard, : we all
know ; Professor Koch has? seen to it
that he is deaf, dumb and blind who
does not know him. Professor Har
land, if more modest, no doubt has
something fine to say. . But what 'we J
are waiting for is the announcement
on the air: ,
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentle
men of the Radio Audience, this is
the Extension Division, of the Uni
versity of North' Carolina, operating
through the courtesy of WPTF, the

All students in the University of
North Carolina who are interested in
any of foreign missions and mission

successful electrification
were furnished by the Gen
eral Electric Company. Gen

attained universal recog

on apparatus that is giving
outstanding service.
Old records show that the cost of Columbus' first
expedition to America amounted, in modern exchange,
to only $7200. To finance Columbus, Isabella,
Queen of Spain, offered to pawn , her jewels. Today
word comes from Spain indicating that a twentieth
century importation from the new world is fast effect
ing a sufficient saving to ransom many royal jewels.
The Spanish Northern Railway reports that the
American equipment with which in 1924 the railroad
electrified a mountainous section of its lines from Ujo
to Paj ares has accomplished the following economies:
1. A 55 saving in the cost of power.
2. A redaction of 40 in the number of engine miles for
the same 'traffic handled: " ' '
3. A saving of 73 in the cost of repairs and upkeep
for locomotives. .
4. A saving of 63 in crew expenses.
5. A reduction of 31 in the cost of moving a ton
kilometer of freight.
In every part of the world, electricity has replaced
less efficient methods and saving sums far
greater than the' ransom of a queen's jewels. You
will always find it an important advantage in your
work and in your home.
