CLOUDS AGAIN COVER THE SKY
When the state legislature passed the bill exempting Greek Letter fraternities from the payment of taxes that had accrued during the time the case was in litigation, it appeared that the matter which had been pending for the past three years had been settled and that things at last would resume their natural course.
But developments of the past few days indicate that there is a strong possibility of the case being reopened, with a prospect of another drawn-out fight in the courts.
In a statement to the Kansan last Thursday, the county treasurer declared that in spite of the action of the legislature, he was not planning to remove the back taxes from the rolls. Yesterday a group of Lawrence taxpayers met to discuss the matter and to raise the question of the constitutionality of the act.
There are several possible ways in which the matter might be reopened. If the fraternities are kept on the tax rolls for the three years' back taxes, they can either protest immediately and ask for a writ of mandamus compelling the treasurer to erase the taxes, in which case the matter will go immediately to the courts; or they can wait until the county takes action for collection, and then bring the matter to another test; or if any taxpayer or group of taxpayers cares to take the initiative, it can test the constitutionality of the act.
If the case does get into the courts, it is almost certain to develop into another long, expensive battle, with the final decision probably coming from the Supreme Court after another three or four years of uncertainty on the part of both the fraternities and the county officials.
Some people think that beer will lead to more biers.
A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
The political caldron has been brewing for a long time. Now it is beginning to boil, what with the Men's Student Council elections in the offiling. The men had many a good laugh at the expense of the women in the recent W.S.G.A.election, but now the women have a chance to be equally amused. And what is the old adage about him "who laughs last?"
For instance, what woman would stand out on the corner every morning and distribute political bulletins full of four-dollar words purporting to be the salvation of future University government? The women have been accused of mud-slinging, but occasional paragraphs in some of the party pamphlets are anything but bouquets.
Although the stronger *as a* *ex*
pointed out many things they
considered ridiculous about the
women's campaign, they have failed
to remember that they themselves
have some practices which appear
extremely silly in the eyes of the
women.
As to the well-oiled political machines and combinés which were said to be functioning among the
women, what could more resemble a combine than a political party? They're practically the same. And what masculine group would pass up the chance to gain control of a powerful political machine? Not one on this Hill.
Oh, yes, the men aren't so much more fastidious about their politics than the women. They do the same things they condemn the fair sex for doing. The only difference is that when their campaign comes along it is a deadly serious matter, while that of the women was merely silly. And of course the women laugh at them just because they don't understand what it's all about anyway.
GONE AND FORGOTTEN
What becomes of passle college, slang; that is, after high school students are through with it? But then it is doubtful if anyone cares.
Ain't it the berries how a good expression like "the cat's pajamas" is knocked for a row of Japanese ash cars after a few months? Oh yeah, only a wet smelt would give any house to a little honey even if she was a fair babe, but a wash-out when it came to talking.
Yes, slang has changed, but even in those times, there were students who attempted to flatter their professor—and of course at times succeeded. It was called "tubing" then, and now goes by the name of "polishing the apple." But it is the same old baioney anyway you slice it.
A few years ago, "hello stud," "that's out," and "thumbs down," were all the rage. They were quite the hot stuff.
A COURSE IN ESPERANTO
A struggle has long been taking place in Milwaukee between the advocates of Esperanto, the international language, and certain University professors. The bill which would make Esperanto an acceptable substitute for entrance requirements in language, as well as provide for one or two courses in the university curriculum, is receiving its greatest sup-
It is not difficult to see the advantages of Esperanto. It would facilitate social intercourse between men of differing nationalities, supplying a common tongue for communication. Through this one application alone it would greatly favor the cause of internationalism. Esperanto is not difficult to learn, since it has been worked out in accordance with scientific language laws. Its constructions have not been modified and made irregular through general use. Enough of it may easily be acquired in the short time spent in college language courses to enable one to converse fluently and to read easily any literature write-
able one to converse fluently and to read easily any literature written in Esperanto.
It is on the literary phase of the question that the professors base their arguments against it. They say that because Esperanto is so new and so artificial, it lacks the richness and culture of an older language. They say students could not study any literature in Esperanto, because articles written in that tongue are few in number. On the other hand, unless a few people learn Esperanto, there will never be a chance for them to write books in that language.
THE FUTURE OF HILL DRAMA
With the highly commendable performance of "Sauce for the Gander" by the Kansas Players the Hill drama season was brought to a close. This organization and the Dramatic Club have consistently staged productions in Fraser theatre which have brought much pleasure to those students and residents of Lawrence who take pleasure in viewing the legitimate drama.
THE FUTURE OF HILL DRAMA
In a program announcement the Kansas Players intimated that a possible shortage of funds might prohibit any performances next season. It is to be hoped that such a move will not be necessary. If a school year were to pass without any plays there would be a void in

Throughout the years there have been student-supported institutions whose merits are, to say the least, questionable. The worth of the theater is unquestionable. The stage has added and will continue to add much to the educational and cultural life of the community. There are many students who are hoping that it will not be necessary to suspend dramatic presentations by Hill groups. They are also delicious of seeing budgetary adjustment made so that such a possibility will not become reality.

Consistent championships done for him led to careful results of careful talent, dominant leadership and uncanny knowledge and "Phog" Allen possesses all three of these qualities as plaudits of every loyal Kansas for his unique ability and prowess. -Oatmeal The

CHAPTER I1-Butt, daughter of a caribou, both he and Lance believe himself to be suspicion, but to assure himself that he has taken the cast to one of Hollywood's shadows. They canby, strangled in the town, who is posed home from the theater the previous year, Markham does not tell Lance that he have deliberately stolen the inventory on Lance's rate is unthinkable, but he proves she was present at the time and prove she was present at the time.
CHAPTER 15, Iv-Markham, vaguely knew of his hotel room. He finds a volunteer and a complete set of burglaries and a complete kit of burglaries and a volunteer's kit to the hotel in his room. That night the safe in his room was blown open and locked on the date was blown open and locked on the Saturday that his "black box" is in the house he uses.

Following the brief phone talk with Markham at Hillerest Land had cut back on visits to the factory, and returned to the joby to mark the advent of new arrivals. As the evening waned, he had strolled over to the desk to ask some questions of the crew.
Kidnaped
"Those three Lonville men Mr. Markham and I were inquiring about the day we arrived. Have you heard anything more from them?"
"We have. There was a wire this morning. They will be in on the Nevada Fliver this evening."
"Is that so? We understood they were driving."
The clerk smiled. "It's quite a little news from Loudieville to Bewater. Next day, I'll go back to read after a day or so. Anyway, they are coming on the Flyer. That is what happened."
It was at this conjuncture that the telephone switchboard girl had come up to "Exercise me, Mr. Landis," but Mr. Starbuck has just called up from his office across the street to ask if you would come over a few mines.
"Certainly," Landis"had said, surprised to learn that the mine owner had returned from Coconá so soon.
As he had stepped out upon the sidewalk he saw that the offices of the Little Alice Mining company were behind a stairway and bank building elevator and starway entrance was a car with its motor running, but with its lights turned off. His first thought had been that it was too early to leave. It had seen that it was a different mukle.
Since it was blocking the way, he stepped aside to pass behind it. When he was in the rear of the car, and beheaded by a police officer, sootily铃铃 motor audition reared alive and the car fenced back at him. There was time only for a futile effort to save himself, and then the car rose up to smite him into oblivion.
When he came to the found himself tired and blindfolded and jammed in between two men in the back seat of a car which was being driven someone off the road. He stirred, the man at his left pressed something pointed against his ribs, and a grating voice at his ear said, "You've been asking for it for a good white, and now you've got it." If you have not or can raise a jelly, you'll get the knife!"
Lands made no reply. Half dazed as he was, he realized that he was helpless, for the time being, at least. He tried to find someone who self-savvy to task for having fallen so easily into the trap set for him, and from that he strove to find an answer. He didn't return through upon him. Who were his kidnapers? Where were they taking
him, and what were they going to do to him?
These vital questions were still unanswered when the car came to a standstill. After the door was removed of the removing of a barricade, after which the car went forward slowly. At the next stop he was greatly hushed and then pushed away in the path or road on what seemed to be the slope of a mountain. At the summit of the ascent the forced march to the top was made.
After the first few steps he realizes, that he was no longer in the open. He goes inside and closes those of his captors, echoed how low as if in a cavern. Landis counted his steps, to one hundred, two hundred, three and still more before he exited.
Satisfied, after a moment or two, that he was no longer in danger of being taken hostage, he worked to work at his knotted wrists. His fingers, trained to the manipulation of delicate mechanisms, soon got the wrist broken. Then he then抱 the bandage from his eyes—only to find that he was still tight enough to wear almost thick enough to be felt.
There was a click of a lock and a creaking of a rusty hinges. Then the roof shove made him stumble and shove that made him stumble and headling, the rusty hinges creaked
There were only seven, and with miserly care he struck one and held the flame to the candle wick.
Getting upon his feet, he began to explore his surroundings by the sense of touch. Cautious progresives proved unable to imagine a sage of some sort. Before he had gone very far his fingers told him that he was standing on a wall at his left was shattered and broken, and once his touch fell upon a smooth half groove in the stone, he realized that he identified the passage as a drift in a mine; an abandoned mine he assumed, since the silence was not broken by noise. He found the passage beginning to ascend, and seventy-nine counted past the upcine brought him to a place where there were some sorts of sage.
Taking the left-hand passage, he leans forward with his hand as by a wall of rock extending all across the passage. Turning back, he tried the right-hand drift. This led him into a maze of branchings and cross sections, where every vestige of the sense of direction.
Weary, and with his head still aching from the blow given him by the assaulting auto, he was about to sit down on a pile of broken stone to rest in front of the car. The same came in contact with a smooth, cylindrical object wedged in a crevice. Fingertips answering for eyes, he knew at once that what he had found was a minor's candle, and with shaking hands he searched his pockets for more clothes. He opened a card of safety matches, and the reaction from despair to hope renewed
With the candle held high he surveyed his surroundings. Two other passages came into the one in which he was standing. On every side there was an appalachian evidence that the workings were long abandoned and that they had been long abandoned.
No longer obliged to grope in darkness, he plunged b"shagned into one of the four passages and was again involved in a maze that seemed to have no end—and offered no outlet. Leg; weary finally, he was about to stop moving. But when he saw what he could compare to nothing but the obs of a human being in distress.
