interested in the history of our gov-
ernment after hearing the keynote ad-
dress at the Houston convention de-
livered by Claude G. Bowers. Through-
out the address there were scathing
criticisms of Hamilton's imperialistic
tendencies linking him definitely with
the present principles of the Republi-
can party, and, on the other hand,
there were the highest praises bestow-
ed upon Jefferson and linking him with
the present Democratic party.
Taking Ono cudgels with the speaker
for his praise of Jefferson, for it is
needless to dwell at length on a theme
to prove phis greatness, it is regret-
table that a party keynoter would,
as an antithesis to his champion, uti-
lize the name of Hamilton in such an
uncomplimentary way.
Hamilton, like Jefferson, needs no
lengthy defense. His whole life story
reads like an inspiring romance al-
most unparalleled. His patriotism and
loyalty to the Union for which he'
sacrificed so willingly is unquestioned.
His untiring efforts in behalf of the
establishment of the Constitution'
coupled with his masterful work

"THE LETTER"
A review, by Jack Davis
Very nervous persons, and those not
susceptible to the more or less cath-
artic appeals of oriental sex-and-
thunder melodrama, might wisely
avoid 'seeing "The Letter," the Somer-
set Maugham piece which the Rock-
ford Players presented for the third
time at Sarah Caswell Angell hall last
night. There are some five gun- shots
as curtain raisers, and another which
comes near the end of the play. I
feel that it is well ifor the yet unjaded
summer playgoers to be prepared for
them.
True, there is but one murder in the
course of these three violent acts; but
it is unculestionably a thorough mur-
der, and one thoroughly exploited both
through exposition and through ret-
roactive action. And there is but one
motive-not a very fresh one, but, no
doubt, a very good one. There are
no fresh motives anyway. Effective

THE TAX SURVEY
President Little's proposal to Gov-1
ernor Green offering the resources of
the University of Michigan for the pur-
pose of carrying on a tax survey of
the state is a plan! deserving serious
consideration of the state executive
and other officials who have ex-
', pressed themselves as being desirous
of effecting a just and fair taxing sys-
tem in the state.
Although the details of the plan
have not been thorouighly studied and
worked out, the skeleton as suggested
by Dr.Little should not be looked upon
indifferently.
There has been a long felt want of
more helpful service to the state on
the part of the University. Charges
of 'no little consequence have been;
imade to the effect that the University!
is not as helpful to the state as its
ri8ources and potentialities permit. Al-
though there may be a difference of
opinion on this attitude, it i-s obvious
that here, at least, the University
president proposes a plan from which'
the state will derive much benefit.
The tax situation has now reached
a complex condition. The tax bur-
den has increased rapidly at the ex-1
pense of the citizenry of the state.,
The progress of certain communities
has been meniaced under the existing
conditions. Although there is no
guarantee that the proposed plan will
be a panacea for all of the minor and
major evils which now may be point-
ed to, it is a certainty that a thorough
study of the situation is urgently
needed.
tWith the unlimited equipment and
'staff of expert faculty men at the dis-
potal of the state in this undertaking,
progress to some degree at least is in-
evitable. In this matter the depart-
ments of forestry, geography, educa-
tion, political science, economics and
mathematical statistics could be of in-
estimable help, and it is noteworthy
that a University president is willing
to lend his support in an undertaking
in which the people of the state are
the primary beneficiaries.
It is unfortunate that in connection
with this project that a representa-
tive of the public press has conveyed
to the people of Michigain! through his
newspaper affiliations a distorted pic-
ture of Dr. Little's proposal and the
manner in which he presented it to
the governor. Tihe plan has been sar-
castically criticized as one intended
to swell the University budget. A
false account of Dr. Little's intended
interview with Governor Green in
which the press representative made a
capital of a breach of friendship be- t
tween the governor and the president
resulting from the last legislative s
session is an injustice to the well in-
tended motive of the University presi- a
dent. The best of harmony between
Gov. Green and Pres. Little has never g
been doubted, and The Daily's con-
w
fidence in Michigan's governor is such
as to feel certain that the state exe-
cutive will take a personal interest
in the merits of Pres. Little's plan.

IN DETROIT
At the Cass, in Detroit, "The Desert
Song," another of the long string of
laborate musical plays so popular in
recent years, is now in! its seventh
week. This effort does not come up to
"The Student Prince" or "The Vaga-
bond King," nor yet to "Golden
Dawn," but there are four or five
rattling male choruses, a lot of cos-
umes and uniforms, (the French For-
eign Legion again!) some good dancing,
and the very -silly story that always
accompanies operetta. The music is,
owever, generally good. The Song of
he Rifs and the Marching Song of
lhe Foreign Legion are particularly
uneful and spirited. Alexander Gray
