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.”

‘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.
