'Recovery is Here' Declares Roosevelt In Massachusetts
Blasts at Republican Leadership; Steady Improvement of Economic Situation Cited
City, Auditorium, Warehouse
Mass. Oct. 21. (UPI) - President Roosevelt pledged an early balancing of the budget tonight and took the nation no new taxes, were summed up because "recovery i
He blasted attic at the Republican leadership, cited the steady improvement in the national economic situation and declared:
"Taxes are the prices we all pay collectively to get these things done. To divide fairly among the people to pay for these benefits has been a major part of our struggle to maintain democracy in America.
"Ever since 1776 that struggle has been between two forces, on the one hand there has been the vast majority of our citizens who believed that the benefits of democracy should be extended and who were willing to pay their fair share to extend them. On the other hand there has been a small but powerful group which has fought the extinction of those benefits because it did not want to pay a fair share of their costs.
"Here is my principle:
"That was the line-up in 1776, that is the line-up in this campaign and I am confident that once more—in democracy in taxation will win.
"Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay that is the only American principle."
The President's Worcester speech was the major one of a dozen or more he has in mind for his two daughters, and heart of the pivotal New England.

Well, I've been following the Ow pretty closely of late and had quite a set-back yesterday when told that I would have to wait until today for my copy. I'm in quite a dither over the outcome of the Freshman Beauty Contest as you know, I predicted (in the Kansan for Oct. 11) that Doris Johnson of the Kappa house would cop the cap.
There will either be some tall bragging in tomorrow's column or else there won't be any column a 'cause T1 never be able to apologize enough to the winner should it be other than my prediction.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1930
One of the Alpha Chi's told me the other day that the girls at that house had a decided advantage over the girls in rooming houses. She said that she could take a bath after 11 p.m., any night that she wanted to as their housemother didn't check the bath-water so carefully as she should. Looks like a decided breed of chicken with a "W.S.G.A." "Bath rooms should be closed for baths not later than 11 p."
It looks, from the foregoing, that it would be all right for the girls to have a game of bridge in the bathrooms, but cleanliness, 'no; no!'
I read the Oklahoma Daily again today but there wasn't anything of importance in Fred Coombs' column
I don't know what the occasion was but Gene Lloyd, campus entrepreneur, and Max Hodges, the D.U.s bid for music fame hereabouts, made themselves very compulsive at the R & M yesterday when scouted into the two monstrous dirt horses. The horses didn't seem to object, either.

the girls of Theta Sigma Phi have notified me that they will hold a tea this afternoon for members of the journalism department and mentioned that I could even come too. Damn it, I'm trying to make as many of us boys, as they suggested that we all wear our English tweeds.

Last year, a published warning was considered sufficient and the first ticket incurred a penalty. However, this year the Parking Committee of the Council decided on a course of comparative lenency in issuing warning tickets first. This commendable, but unfortunate faith in humankind has been rewarded with a group of fines at least equal to the total fines for the same period last year.
Engineers Hear Matthew Luckiesh At Convention
And this year there are many targets. To date 59 penalty fines have been recorded in the business office. It should be pointed out that all of these 59 offenses have been preceded by warning tickets, so there really is no defense from our justifiable misses.

Mrs. Harold C. Case To Speak at Banquet
"Seeing and the Human Welfare" was the subject of the address made this morning at the engineering convocation by Dr Matthew Luckiechak from the University of Nevada laboratory of the General Electric company, Nola Park. Cleveland
Council Lenient
Dr. Luckhiek told of the development of illumination as a science which really started about 60 year ago. He takes a broad view of this and says that people see with their whole body, their heart, and nerves. He also gives us a technical part of seeing. He has discovered through his experiments that the heart beat varies according to the light, as seeing is an organic process. From this, he was able to tell what degree of lighting caused the least strain. Seeing, he says, can be measured in brightness and time. He also stressed the idea that there should be a factor of safety in lighting.
Student Recital Will Be Held Today
Miss Evelyn Swarthouk, daughter of D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, will present a recital for the opening tea of the School of Fine Arts on Monday afternoon, Nov. 2, at the Wichita Art Museum.
Speed Limit—15 mph
George also requested that students all read the sign either end of the campus rules and to traffic regulations or of course, was a good reminder that the speed limit 15 miles per hour, and that George would be pleased not to have to attach a speeding ticket to your car. Speeding is practically the only one of the major offenses that so far hasn't been entered on the books.
Some few fines are still held over from last semester as the Council has had no time to take action. Such fines should be paid immediately at the business office, if only out of consideration for a very busy Council. This would be received within three days after receiving the ticket or the matter will be turned over to the Parking Committee.
Miss Swarthout to Give Recital in Wichita
In a fatherly manner, George went on to express the wish that students refrain from riding on running boards and hanging on fenders. The warning really was a paternal gesture on the part of our cop, because it's easily seen that the fender rider commits an offense only against himself while comes to worse, said fender rider is seldom in a condition to fine or to object of any one's stone throwing.

Germany Denies Charge of Aiding Spanish Rebels
Berlin, Oct. 21-(UP)—Germany today denied she had aided Spanish rebels as charged by Russia and made a counter-charge that the United Nations did notMDI regiment. A note to this banded Lord Plymouth, chairman of the International committee for non-intervention in Spain, in London by Prince Otto Von Bismarck, the foreign office here announced.
NUMBER 31
Berlin, Oct. 21, —(UP) —Growing friendly relations between Italy and Germany will be further cemented by German recognition of Italy's conquest of Ethiopia it was learned tonight as Italian foreign minister Galeazzo Ciano continued conversation with Reich leaders.
While a spokesman indicated that nothing could be published beyond the official announcement, it was assumed that Germany's charges attempt to document and expand semi-official press reports which included charges that Russian ships carrying food and medicine to Spain actually discharged not only planes, but also military officers who row, allegedly wear Russian uniforms in the streets of Loyalist cities.
The German note said the Russian charges were untenable and were rejected with the greatest emphasis

Jayhawker-Aggie Pre-Game Warfare Threatens to Reopen Again This Year
The days when adventurous young Jawharka raided Aggelakla, painted their campus, came home with clipped heads and were proud of it, have gradually been transposed from a literal to a more figurative form of "raising hall" and painted the town red.
Mrs. J. B Watkins, who presented the Watkins Memorial student hospital to the University, has now given the hospital a new and costly rehab program. Dr. R. I Canuteson, director of student health, announced today.
It is this figurative brand of "bell raising" that features the annual grid clash between Kansas and Kansas State.

Poising as Kansas Statera yall Jacobwings mingled with the Cow College guards and asked one of the guardmen to assist them in chasing a Lawrence car. The boys were well on their way to Lawrence before the victim realized that he was being kidnapped. In the meantime the Agigleville kids had captured the kid-room of the Kansas City as they entered the town, clipped their heads and made them entertain the student body the next day. Two of the boys were held as custody for the two Kansas Statera held by Kansas.
The result was a trace signed by the student councils of both schools to the effect that there would be no more trouble "henceforth and for-
