Bill Favoring Sales Tax Abolishment Is Defeated by Phi Assembly, 10-7 The Phi assembly passed by a 10-7 vote Tuesday night a bill favoring the abolition of levied on retail sales in North the entire delegation a 14-9 majority favored the bill Speaking in favor of the bill, Wimb Erwin said, "Sales tax is regressive and should be progres sive. A man who has the ability to pay should be taxed accord ingly and the poor people in the country should not have to suf fer." Ernie House stated "The great inequity and injustice of the sales tax is the main objection. If we continue to make the poorer clas ses pay sales tax, we cannot ex pect them to raise their stand ards." Page Harris brought out that "there is at the present time a tremendous surplus in the State treasury and that the sales tax law was passed in 1932 as an emergency measure. If the stale feels that the $27,000,000 a year that it is now receiving is neces sary, I suggest taxes be raised on alcoholic beverages." Charlie Britt in upholding the opposition said, "Today, all food articles except a few are exempt from sales . tax. Tax from sales varies uniformly with business conditions. If North Carolina rais es its taxes on industries, we will see a large exodus of industries to states where there is a lower tax rate."

More than half of the throng present, excluding animals, found it hard to believe that this was a "ceremony" honoring distinguished student leaders selected for membership in the Order of the Grail, campus honorary organization.

The topic of his ad- dress was "Party Politics in In Wallace Group To Hear Reports The Wallace club will hear a report on the National Students for Wallace convention from Bill Evans, graduate student, and Claude Dunnigan of Chapel Hill at 7:30 in Bingham 103 tomorrow night.

Humber, a renowned World Federalist, went on to say that almost every small nation was willing to join a world federation, and that of the five great na tions, China, France, and Britain had expressed acceptance of such an organization if it should be founded. Stir Up Opinion In the United States, Humber said that it was just a matter of "stirring up public opinion." He declared that "the sovereignty of America is still in the village green. As for Russia, Humber said, "Only Russia tan speak for Russia; I will not attempt to," According to Humber, the force of nationalism, which has ruled the world for 160 years since the decline of feudalism, is now re vealing its incapacity to govern human society. To replace the force of nationalism, he called for a world federation "to stand for a world order based on world justice, law." World Federation "Do on a world level what we have done on a national level, a state level," said Humber. He stated that until we get an ef fective world federation, there will be no real world order, just suspended wars. "Remember," he said, "we are behind the United Nations as a first step." Humber's "federation" means an organization within which each country would retain its do mestic sovereignty, delegating to the world government only such powers as are needed to main tain law and order among na tions. "If we get rid of this fighting war," Humber stated, "we can get down to the real war, war against ignorance, poverty, arid disease. Time is running out, and it is shorter than we think." Humber said that "there has been in the Democratic party an emphasis on liberalism in inter national affairs." He was of the opinion that Woodrow Wilson "gave to Amer ica a reputation which still per sists. The common men knew (See HUMBER, page 4) in Graham Memorial. n
