Bases Of Taxation Discussed By Dow At Social Seminar Equality of opportunity, not equali- ty of wealth or produce is a just basis for taxation, stated Alex Dow, presi- dent of the Detroit Edison Company in addressing a meeting of the Ann Arbor Social Service Seminar held yesterday in the Chamber of Com- merce building. The undistributed profits tax vio- lates this principle, he explained, and by penalizing corporations for re-in- vesting their earnings in the com- pany, puts a virtual check on expan- sion. Almost all businesses are built on undivided profits, he explained, and such a tax is extremely detrimen- tal to business. Condemning the use'of taxes to en- courage profit sharing, Mr. Dow stat- ed that a profit sharing scheme was unfeasible for a regulated company such as the Detroit Edison. Owners would be antagonized by such a scheme, he said, and it would tend to discourage liberality toward employes. Mr. Dow praised the principle of! Social Security, but expressed the opinion that the act was in great need of simplification. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 30, 1938 VOL. XLIX.

Sophomore, Junior and Senior En- gineers: Mid-semester reports for grades below C are now on file and By PAUL CHANDLER; Twnty-one years of University ROTC military training, marked by a steady growth in student enrollpent and frequent objections by pacifist groups, will end here April 25, 1939. Student training in army work be- gan during the World War when the Board of Regents accepted the United States Army's proposal to incorpor- ate a reserve officer's training corps on the campus. More than 1,800 stu- dents enrolled during the first week of ROTC. This war-time unit was then succeeded by the regular stu- dent corps in 1918. Military uniforms and drills were prohibited on the campus durin'y the first years of the ROTC existence. Inauguration of the corps was ac-' complished primarily through the efforts of Dean Mortimer Cooley of :,he engineering department and of1 Prof. William Hobbs, of the geology, department- James B. Angell, presi- dent of the University during the war, was opposed to military education. Military training on the campus has been recorded as far back as 1862, but failed to survive until the organi- zation of the present group. The World War uncovered a need for a number of trained men in the lower -ommissioned ranks of the United States army, and this was said to be ,he original purpose of organizing ROTC units. Objection to ROTC education was heard in 1924. The Michigan Alumnus answered the charges with a four page article which declared that the aim of University military training is not "to provide professional sol- :iers, but to train officers for a na- tional emergency." In 1925 Prof. Alfred H. Lovell tole 390 members of the ROTC that.engi- neers with training in military educa. tion made more progress in their pro fession than did those Who. had learned only the theory of their work The ROTC was again defehded ir 1927 by Gen. R. I- Reese, vice-presi- dent of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., who delivered an ad- dress stating that "no course in a college curriculum can possibly de- velop the quality of leadership, co- operation and teamwork as well as can the ROTC." Military training was approved as a substitute for freshman gymnasium work by the Board of Regents in,1928. open to inspection in the office of the Assistant Dean, Room 259 West Engineering Building, A.
