to be Accused of Driving
While Drunk.
Released yesterday on $500 bond
in the court of Justice Jay H.
Payne, Ora Jermey, R. R. No. 3, is
to appear March 23 to answer a
charge of driving drunk, as the re-
sult of an accident Tuesday night
in which police said four cars were
involved, and one man injured.
According to officers, Jermey,
who is a mechanic at Yahr broth-
ers' service station, was driving
east on Huron avenue at 9:451
o'clock Tuesday night, when his
car collided with one driven by J. S.
Tomlinson, 732 Spring s t r e e t,
who was also going east on Huron
avenue.

prisoners.
Police said the Negroes, part of
the group of river front workers
which went on strike about a month
ago in protest against a wage cut
of 15 cents an hour by four steam-
ship companies, met after midnight
it a hall and formed a marching
body of about 200 which headed
for the river. Officers said the
marchers intended to intimidate
strike-breakers.
Arriving at the docks shortly be-
fore dawn, the marchers were met
by the police who ordered the
crowd to disperse. Retreating to
neighboring streets, the Negroes
broke up into small groups, hissing
and booing the police. Snipers at
strategic points then opened fire
on the officers, and the officers,
withholding fire, rushed into the
crowd to make arrests, disarming
several members of the mob and
rounding up the small groups.

Prominent Members of Faculty,
Students, AlumniWrite
in March Issue.:
Prominent alumni, students, and
faculty members have contributed
articles to the March issue of the
Michigan Technic, student publica-
tion of the engineering and archi-
tecture schools, which will be dis-
tributed in the halls of the East
Engineering building today.
Leading the articles in the cur-1
rent number is "Aerial Photogra-
phic Mapping," by Cedric S. Wood,
'26E. Wood tells of some of the re-
cent developments in this field and
points out several of the possible
uses to which -they may be put in
the future.
Prof. Walter C. Sadler, of the
railroad engineering department,
writes in this issue on "The Law of
Eminent Domain," and tells of
some of the cases which have arisen
under the statutes. Particular at-
tention is given to a definition of
the terms over which argument has
come up in the past.
"Modern Metal Art in Architet;.
ture," by Lyle F. Zisler, '32A, des-
cribes the use of 'metal work es-
pecially for decorative purposes as
a "premier contribution to, a newv
style." College Notes is dedicated
this month to Prof. Walter L. Bad-
ger, of the chemical engineering
department.

MILL TX_[TION

will makeshift somehow with the
present equipment."
Dr. Ruthven then went into the
second issue, even more "vital than
the first." The issue includes a pro-
posal to reduce the Mill tax below
its present amount and to replace
it now-and of course in the fu-
ture also-with an appropriation
made by the legislature.
"Specifically, a bill which has
come to the house limits the pro-
ceeds of the Mill tax to about $4,-
500,000 for the next biennium, a
reduction of $420,000 below the
amount now being received under
the Mill tax law, $4,920,000. More
serious than the actual reduction
in dollars and cents is the nullifi-
cation of the principle of the Mill
tax and the substitution of the
method of specific biennial appro-
priation. If this becomes a law, it
will disable the University of Mich-
igan and make it, not temporarily,
but for a long time to come, an
inferior institution. Reduction of
operating income by more than
$400,000 will in the first place create
an emergency which can only be
met by drastically curtailing the
work of the University. We shall
have to reduce professors' salaries,
too low already, dismiss men from
the faculty, reduce the number of
students through the closing of a
college or the omission of a whole
class, either one, several, or all
of these expedients will have to be
adopted."
President Ruthven then pointed
out how disastrous this change in
the actual machinery of the Uni-
versity would be and how the qual-
ity of the institution would be
affected. He stressed the fact that
the Mill tax law provides a stable
income for the University, and that
it takes the re:ns from the hands
of politics and permits the institu-
tion to have a natural, unbroken
growth. To attempt to engage pro-
fessors on a two-year basis, as
would be necessary under the new
system, would lower the quality of
the faculty at the University be-
yond repair.. The key men would
drift away, said Dr. Ruthven, to
institutions where private endow-
ment would insure long-term con-
tracts at godd salaries.
