...nature of the mistakes made by both groups in their respective answers to the question "who pays the cost of road building and maintenance?" It appears clearly from the analysis "that motor vehicle taxes are not taxes at all, and that traffic on the highways is largely government subsidized." Nevertheless the question whether the vehicle highway plant is in the same position as the highway plant is in the same position as the railway road-bed and should be treated in the same way by taxing authorities is left, at least partially, hanging...
...disconsolate Republicans are concerned, their task is far more difficult than that of the Democrats, and their responsibility to the country fully as great.

Nevertheless the question of purpose needs to be reconsidered in relation to university training everywhere, and in this particular I prefer the English practice. Ostensibly the English system is run to produce bishops, judges, members of Parliament, Higher Civil Servants, and Pure Scientists. As these are assumed not to need...
...Cherington's remarks on the financial condition of the Advocate, while interesting as theoretical speculations, are nevertheless gratuitous impertinences which I shall ignore in confining myself to subjects about which Mr. Cherington may know something...
