City Council Consents To Pave Streets Thoroughfares Surrounding the Campus Included in Colum bia's Paving Program WORK BEGINS EARLY DATE Carolina's "Roads" Soon to Be Classed as Streets After Years of Waiting "Where the pavenent ends Carolina begins" is a statement that will soon Pass out of ex'stenc. The Columbia city council, after much dcliberation and debate, have decided to )av the streets around the University. For years, there has been talk of paving such streets as Pendleton. Pwll. 'nter, Marion. and a few others and itow this threat is to be carried out. Bull street will be paved from Pen dleton to E.mwood avenue. This w'll not include that portion of the street that runs through the middle of the campus. Pendleton street will be pav ed frot Sumter to Pickens. Marion street will be paved from Gervais to Pendletoin. Sumter and Green streets will also be paved. Work on the construction of the streets is scheduled to start within the next few days. Those that are con s(dered the most important thorough fares will receive attention first. The city council. spent many weeks deciding which streets in the city to pave. Petitions fron every ward were heard and (lue consideration g'vetn every citizen's plea. Maiiy tax-payers on the streets that touch on the Uni versity campus went before the coun cil and gave reasons why these streets should be paved. In practically every case. mention was ttade that the street or streets touched on the canips of the State University. There has been some talk and dis cussion as to the paving of the otte block of Bull street that runs almost through the center of the campus. Th N is state propertty and unless the state of South Carolina is willing to share the expense of paving this block it will not be paved. The City of Columbia is unwilling to bear the total cost of pav ing this entire block of state property, as they are paying the cost of paving all the streets that border ott the cam pus. --U.S.C.

TAX PROBLEMS Professor in English Outlines the Needs of State in Regard to Taxes DISHONEST TAX RETURNS Continuation of Series on South Carolina Problems at Sunday Night Meeting "We cainot go forward as a state so long as our taxation simply serves to keep the governmental wheel rolling," said Dr. Reed Smith in his talk at the services in the Uiversitv chapel Sun day evening. "South Carolina is where she is today. simply because she isn't spending as Imluch money as she should in the big movements which tend to make a state a better place in which to live." Dr. Smith was speaking in the third t of a series of talks fostered by the Uni versity Y.M.C.A. on the subject "Know Your State." He discussed. at length, the problems J of taxation in South Carolina, saying that "taxation is one of the most im portant subjects of our day." The speak er advocated the most careful and con siderate management of the tax systenI in South Carolina. "Our problems will not be solved within a day or w.'thin a week," said Dr. Smnith. "but probably witl"in the next twenot or thirty years our system will be iuproved." He pointed out, that I one of the greatest needs of the govern menit is unselfish and intelligent lead ership. "We are doing things; we are iniprov'ng, but whyt\ dont we go for ward more ra)idlv" asked the speak- i er. -le answered this question by say- I ing. "we just simply haven't tle m1on ey. "Our system, as a whole. puts a pre- C miiumitl ol dishonlesty," lie continued. 'ac cording to the tax retturns, there are a only seveni thousand watches in South Carolina, and only thirteen in the c county of Ierkley.. I don't believe the h1 watclhes in oie part of the state are h3 worth so niuch more than those in an- fi other part." said Dr. Smith. "Yet, ac- c cording to tax books. watches in Fair- e field county are worth lifteen times as I miuci as in Florence county. There is t: land 'n this state which cannot be 11 bought foi- $150.00 or $21)0.00 per acre, c yet it is being returned at $5.00 and a $10.A) an acre," said Dr. Smith. ti At the concltusion of tihe lecture, the c followiig men wvere elected officers of the Y.M.C.A. for thme nsext term :Teslie' Edwardls. presidesnt ;lDruftus Griffini, f v'ice presidlent ;Jasper D)err'ck, secre tary ; A.
