MAXWELL AVERS
STATE EXCEEDED
ARBITRARY LinTS
Says Constitution Should Lay
Down Only General Principles
of Authorization and Limita
tions, Leaving Details to Rep-
resentatives of People,
PROPOSE TO LIMIT CREDIT
"The state has succeeded in
-evading almost every arbitrary
limit in , the present constitu
tion," stated A. J. Maxwell,
North Carolina commissioner of
revenue, last night in address
ing a joint session of the North
Carolina club and the University
law school on"the subject of the
proposed North Carolina con
stitution. Maxwell stated that a consti
tution should lay down only gen
eral principles of authorization
and limitation, leaving it to the
representatives of the people to
form the limits and details that
must change with conditions.
He showed how the present con
stitution of North Carolina,
established in 1868 under dif
ferent conditions and problems
from our times, lays down arbi-!
trary rules which the -state has
been forced to evade.
Under the proposed constitu
tion, taxation, which is the most
difficult problem and one which
must always change with the
times, is left to the representa
tives of the people who are di
rectly responsible to the people,
.and not limited by arbitrary
Tules in a constitution.
Takes Up Credit
The second part of the taxa
tion provisions of the proposed
;cnstitution that Commissioner
Maxwell took up was in regard
to credit. The present consti
tution regulates the amount the
.state can borrow to seven and

To Select
MEETING CALLED
AT 7:00 O'CLOCK
Members to Decide on Question
of 73-Cent Extra Levy.
Whether the music for the
Junior-Senior dance set shall be
furnished by Freddy Martin and
his Mariners for the $1,400 ori
ginally allotted by budget, or by
one-time Student Hal Kemp at
a price f 250 higher will be the
question for discussion when
the two classes meet together
tonight at 7:00 o'clock in Memo
rial hall.
The question, according to
Charlie Woollen, dance chairman
of the senior class, is whether
the two classes will vote an ad
ditional "assessment of 75 cents
per member in order to procure
Kemp's band.
Original -Plans
The plans originally called for
a dance set to cost $1,400, $700
of which was to be furnished by
each of the classes, and until
recently it has been impossible
to consider getting Kemp's
group, due to the fact that only
now has his price aproached a
figure commensurate with the
means available, Woollen stated.
Therefore, in order to avoid
any misunderstanding and com
plications such as arose last
year over a similar situation,
the matter will be left entirely
to the class members in the ex
pectation that the question can
be settled to the satisfaction of
the majority.
In the opinion of the dance
committee Hal Kemp would be
the better man to engage and
the resulting improvement in
the dances would more than off
set the additional "charge, ' al
though in the other opinion the
assessment would be an extra
expense to be avoided.
