Political Sub-Divisions To
Share Revenue
Washington. Dec. 9.—(AP>— The
administration ha* opened the way for
L'ongrcJi to establish a. national taxa
tion system by which the Federal gov
t ernnient would collect all revenues
®d divide them between the nation's
neasury. states and political sub-di
vtions.
The intci-departmental committee
«UP by President Roosevelt to study
alcoholic beverage taxation has sug
j«(ed to Cong i ess that 20 percent ot
the totaal Federal receipts on liquor
I# returned to the states ot prevent
double levies.
This i< ■. tine, officinls and mein
bers of Congress claim, with the Pre
sident's plan to call a conference of
governor.; for the purpose of eliminat
ing not only double taxation of liquor
but fliat »f other commodities and
articles.
The idea is not exactly original
with this administration. Its principle
was first invoiced in estate taxes col
lected by the Federal government, a
large portion of which is returned to
the states in which the collections are
made
With the growth of duplicating
taxes by the Federal, State, county
and municipal governments, the ques
tion is being given serious considera
tion in both administration and con
gressional quarters.

Raleigh, Dec. 9 —President Frank
P Graham, of the Greater Univer
sity of North Carolina, is hence also
president of the State College of Ag
riculture and Engineering here —and
there is no longer any doubt about
the fact that he has been running
State College as well as the unit at
Chapel Hill, since President E. C.
Brooks of State College has been ill
in Washington for the. past several
weeks. It is also evident here that
the majority of the faculty and stu
dents at State College not only know
that Graham is president, but that,
like it.. There are some, of course,
who have been opposed to the con
solidation of State College under the
same head as the Chapel Hill unit of
the University and who have been
trying to prevent its consummation, j
who are still not in sympathy with
vvhat President Graham is trying to
do, and who resent the active part
he is now taking in the administra
tion of State College affairs. But this
group is limited to not more than half
a dozen of the more reactionary
members of the faculty and a small
group of alumni.
President Graham has taken over
the management of State College so
unostentatiously, so gradually and so
quietly that few here really know
what Is being done, with the excep
tion of the faculty and students. But
they know what is going on and are
becoming increasingly enthusiastic.
Already a different spirit and atti
tude is evident on the
campus. For President Graham has
completely dispelled all fears of any
dismemberment or transfer of State

Raleigh. Dec. 9. —Careful planning
for future prosperity, through volun
tary cooperation for a better controll
ed production, was offered as a sup
plementary plan to the “Live At
Home” program in North Carolina by
Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus in his
address before the editors and pub
lishers of the State at the "Live At
Home" dinner given in his honor here
last night. In advocating this plan,
Governor Ehringhaus made it clear
that it was to broaden and make more
permanent the "Live at Home” pro
gram and not a substitute for the
movement that has been carried on so
successfully the past four years,
j “A simple ‘Live At Home’ program
| is manifestly inadequate to the needs
of the present day,” Governor Eh
ringhaus said. “We must change our
while philosophy of farming. Mani
festly now we must farm first of all
to live; and secondly, to make money,
or we are beaded for inevitable ruin.
