GILBERT GIVES RADII LECTURE Speaker Offers Solution for Taxation Problem INDUSTRIES TO BE AIDED Question National in Scope States Professor “With the diffusion of business interests the problems of taxation, like any other economic problems, have become national in scope: A corporation may be chartered in one state, operate in several other states, and its leading stockholders ^ may live in 48 states of the Un ion. The solution for this problem is that the taxing power should lie in the United States of America.” Such was the statement given to the radio world last night by Dr. James H. Gilbert, professor of econ omics, in a radio lecture entitled, “The Plane and Bane of Interstate Competition.” The radio-casting, made from station KGW of the Morning Oregonian, was the weekly t’riday evening radio lecture ser vice of the University extension di vision. Speaker Gives Summary “Let the national government levy and collect the taxes,” said Dr. Gilbert, “at rates high enough to satisfy the demands of national and state governments at rates operating tiniformally throughout the whole country Each state’s share of the proceeds will be turned back to the commonwealth by the central government.” This is the summary of the solution of the present state competition as laid down and described by Dr. Gilbert. He points out that this program has led many economists to favor cen tralization as the solution for the vexing problems. In urging ratification of the child labor amendment in Oregon, Dr. Gilbert pointed out that it would not hurt this state because Oregon now has a state law to that ef fect. For the sake of standardiza tion why shonld we not have a na tional law pertaining to child lab or? The commodities that the k child works On are sold throughout the country, and why should not the regulation be by the country at large? he asked. Federal Law Addvocated “It is scarcely conceivable that the federal law would go .beyond the Oregon law; and even if it. did, it. would put all the states on an equal plane. Oregon industries would certainly gain by raising the plane of competition to the one sel for ourselves.” In urging federal intervention in the corporation laws he said, “Lack of uniformity the corporation laws of the several states, failure to control capitalization and super vize the sale of securities still con stitute a crying evil.” Dazzling Freshman Glee Is Promised March 7; i Committees are Named (Continued from page one) chairman; William Brown, Stuart Ball.

The paper has a large circulation now. I i I ‘COSTUME KNIGHT TO FEATURE BIZARRE AND UNUSUAL IN DRESS Dance Scheduled for Next Friday Night Will be Annual Affair; Anything but Ordinary Clothes in Order (By L. R.) Just think of it! There was once | a time—perhaps during the age of j Elizabeth—when it was next to im- ! possible to hold a costume party! j Or perhaps it would be more speci fic to say that all of these olden j functions were some manner of cos- i tume party. The point, anyway, is this—that in trying to outdo each other in the color and eccentricity of their dress, the two most important sexes (be ing at that time, male and female) found themselves bedecked in col ors otherwise seen only during cer tain atmospheric conditions. Of , even farther back than Elizabeth ] —say around Arthur’s time—the j “Connecticut Yankee” would gatli- ; er King Arthur aside and, pointing 1 to the King’s jester, say, “Art, old ! boy, there’s a sport model mule.” j At any rate it was no unusual j sight to behold some human totem pole, glistening and glowing with , colors, and flushing under the weight of pounds of lace come bumping across London bridge or come bulging out of some Inn. And so you see all the clothing stores were nothing but costume shops i only that you couldn’t get away with a costume without paying for it piece by piece—no rentals. There fore you see they never went to anything but a eostum dance. Or rather it should be said that they never went to a costume dance. For, you understand, there was never j anything but everyday clothes in evidence, gone through the wash for the occasion, perhaps. Today, though, things are changed. These days are days of conservative dress, both in quan tity and brilliance. So for a change in this particular social calendar the Oregon Knights are offering the campus a congenial costume af fair. “Ojgstume Knight” they have chosen to call it and are establish ing it as an annual Oregon Knight ! dance. John Boswell, who heads the com mittee, wishes to have one point I clearly understood—that it is not j the intention of the committee to ask each couple to go to the extent of renting or making elaborate cos tumes. Anything out of the ordin- | ary will be correct on the night of February 6. The feature committee has prom ised to ask either The George White Scandals or The Follies of 1907 to assist with the features; but if they have other engagements on that night, well—as this is a committee with the Oregon spirit—they prom ise something “different.” Wave Lesley Writes bf Chinese Countryside Odors and Sights of Villages Described by Braduate Chinese hikes are found wanting by a person accustomed to Oregon weather, one learns from a letter recently received by a friend of Wave Lesley, hfiss Lesley, who graduated with the class of 1923, is now teaching in the Canton Christian College, of Canton, China. The chief objection to the Chin ese countryside is the odor thereof, for in China, the pigs, painted chickens, dogs, and babies mingle in democratic abandon. Too, the Chinese have a failing for garlic for breakfast. The chickens run loose, so each householder dyes his flock a different color. Not that this is all one sees while on one’s hike. Little ponds are plentiful about the countryside, and usually are covered with water hyacinths, that glow silver, yellow and lavender. All the villages have old walls, now crumbled. Before each village gate are a male and a female god, the protectors of the village. The curious horde of yellow faced, dirty children scamper away when the hiker attempts to take a picture. The Chinese will only al low their pictures to be taken when ! they are in full regalia, or they would have to wear the same clothes,' and work in the life here after. A tall pagoda, upon inspection is found to be disappointingly empty. The images of century-old gods are gone, and the niches on which they once stood are crumbling. The pa goda is hollow clear up, and *if it was once used for a watch tower, as tradition intimates, the ladders are long since gone. The highways of this part of China are little narrow footpaths along which people walk single file. On each side of the paths, little beds of earth are built up, in which grow lettuce and onions and garlic. These little beds are watered by portable water pumps which are rim by a treadmill, and may be used on any of the little ponds nearby. Christmas in Canton was very enjoyable, Miss Lesley said, and on New Years Eve, the American girls were invited to a New Years ball. American magazines are read eagerly by the girls, even though they are rather old, for they, with the Emerald, and letters and friends, make them remember that China is not merely a dream.

RIFLE TERM OF R.O.T.C. MEETS WOMEN’ SQUAD A rifle meet between the men’s team of the R. O. T. C. and the women’s rifle team is in progress. Firing will be completed by this af ternoon and results will be detcr minded by the highest average per centage of scores of the two teams. The contest started yesterday. There are about 30 women shoot ing, while there are only 20 men in the competition. Since it would be unfair to judge the winning side by total score, the highest average will determine the winners. Scor ing is on the basis of a possible 100 points. Each marksman fires 10 shots. Shooting in this match is from the prone position only, bullseyes counting 10, and so on. This meet is in the form of a practice contest for the respective teams. The R. O. T. C. team has its first regular match one week after next. Captain J. T. Murray, coach of the men, is going to start them in on shooting from other positions than prone, next Monday. So far, the men have been restricted to fir ing only ten shots each night, but from now on they will be allowed to fire any number of shots. Vac cination effects have not entirely disappeared. Some of the regular candidates for the R. O. T. C. team are still unable to turn out for practice.
