...placed before the public in a false light; that certain low grades, for which there would be perfectly valid excuses, could not be explained to the many friends who would see the marks. These statements are all perfectly true. There would undoubtedly be at first a great deal of unjust criticism on the part of outsiders who knew nothing of existing circumstances. But, on the other hand, there is strong reason to believe that there would be a decided stimulus to better College work. The whole question, then, resolves itself into this simple form; is not the sacrifice of enduring...
...Freshman and Sophomore classes. The report upon which these regulations are based assumes that preferment to graduates in applying for one seat should offset for the two lower classes the preference shown to graduates in applying for two. The relative numerical strength of the two classes proclaims this exchange unjust. If 1000 undergraduates are given better single seats than graduates, the latter will be moved not more than a section either way. If 3000 graduates apply for two seats apiece, the Freshman who takes a companion will be fortunate if he can tell whether or not the ball is advanced...
...United States and England. In the United States at least 40 per cent. of the persons assessed, fail to pay any taxes on their revenue. The Parliamentary Commission of 1904 reported that an enormous amount of property escaped the tax. Thus Mill's statement that the income tax is unjust since it falls heaviest on the honest members of the state is proved by the experience of both the United States and England. Therefore, it cannot be supposed that it will distribute the burden of taxation any more equitably in France...
Arnstine was followed by E. L. Viets '11, who argued the negative side. In theory the tax is perfectly fair, but in practice it is most unjust. It would be difficult to ascertain the exact amount of a man's income, his debts and his salary. The fluctuations in a business man's salary would make it almost impossible to determine his income. In Germany, England and Switzerland it has been found to be most harmful, and would it be much better in France? The income tax has made a most conspicuous failure in America; would that same tax succeed...
...Ehrmann '12 followed Collier. He upheld the affirmative side. The rent tax has degenerated into a marriage and children tax. Thus, in other ways, such as the door and window tax, the present system is inadequate and unjust. The new system has been tried out in England and has succeeded, and in almost all other European countries except France. This is the greatest argument in its favor. The income tax did not bring about the French Revolution. The French deputies, who are nearest the will of the people, voted for it at their last session. This seems abundant proof that...
