Single copies. Entitled at second-flav matter September 17, 1931, at the office at Lawrence, Kansas. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9.1932 A NEW AMUSEMENT The latest amusement locally ladies and gentlemen, is the fraternity tax trial, more or less under way in the court room of the Doug las county court house. The lawyers bicker among themselves and ask more silly questions in five minutes than a small boy can in an hour. Representatives of the various organizations go to the stand in various states of preparedness, and do their best to show that there are places in a fraternity house where study occurs. Now and then the legal forces retire to the judge's chamber to agree and disagree among themselves, and tobacco smoke pours over the top of the vacant jury stand in a cloud. The audience is composed of a mixture of men who have retired in all activity save expression of opinion, a group of unshaven unemployed, and college students. Whether you have an active in interest in the case or not, students take a spare half hour and visit the latest amusement piece of Law rence, the tax trial room. Economical Esther says that she'll never put her money in Kansas City's newest bank because three 1900 pound chandelier is too much overhead. TRUST AND DISARMAMENT Can we disarm? Shall we always have war? Disarmament of especial interest just now because of the Sino-Japanese conflict and the world-war depression. Whether we can end war is a question taken up by Dr. Charles M. Sheldon in an address given recently before the annual Douglas County Young People's association, in which he said: "Any country which has put an end to bitery, enslavement of women, drink, and slavery can put an end to war. All we lack is kindness." "But America jumps at this, for it is theoretical." We won't end war by disarming and relying on faith and kindness toward other nations to keep the pact if all nations should disarm. America is new and skeptical. "No," we say, "just as sure as all nations would disarm some country would break faith and then where would the trusting nations be?" Perhaps kindness and trust will never bring the nations together on the question of disarming to end war, yet is there a stronger power than faith to make a treaty hold? The employment-seeking senior hopes that next winter is as mild as the present one has been. WHAT OF OUR OWN WAR? Al Capone's appeal to the circuit courts should have been good for daily top heads in the metropolitan papers for some little time. We naturally expected that, after the amount of publicity given the trial itself. That this imminent internal "war" should be overshadowed by the oriental situation was not in the least to be expected. After all, the Chinese confiler seems far away and unrelish until the great Capone case, which involves a fight between the official representatives of the American people and the leader of gangland, is here and must be decided now. And, although the foreign disagreement may prove to have more far-reaching consequences, victory for Capone in the appeal to be heard Tuesday would mean a strong underworld grip on the future of the United States. Depression item; Conditions are becoming deplorable when Pola Negrl, planning to be married a third time, must forsake the nobility. MACHINE GUNS We have too many machine guns with us! Yesterday morning a policeman was riddled with fourteen bullets while helping to frustrate a bank robber in Kansas City. Late last year little children playing on the streets of New York were mowed down by a stream of lead intended for rivals of the assassins. Organized robbery, protected by these deadly, mangle weapons is increasing. Slaughter with machine guns is becoming common in America. What excuse is there for allowing these instruments to be sold to private individuals? What possible, legitimate use can they have for them? Prohibition of machine gun sales would not end their use, but it would be a step in the right direction. Machine guns are too easy to get! "Raskob Shows No Interest"—headline. However, after November he hopes to receive song. NEWSPAIN Spain, always known for her splendor and her nobility, is now "a republic of the workers of all classes." So states the new constitution recently put into effect. This constitution was influenced mainly by the German, Mexican and Russian models, and clearly shows that every effort was made to inject into it the life blood of the revolution. Under the new plan, men and women 25 years of age have the right to vote. If demanded by 15 per cent, of the people, a referendum may be called on any provision of the constitution save those articles dealing with the church. The machinery of government is quite simple. A president is elected every six years by the people and by the one parliamentary body. One of the most outstanding features of the whole reorganization of Spain, however, is the separation of the Church and the State. Divorce may be secured through the State, although not allowed by the church. The new National flag has been designed. The colors are to be revolutionary red, yellow and purple, in horizontal stripes. In every point, the new government wants it to be made clear that the old regime has passed. Alfonso XIII was declared "guilty of high treason" in November. The working people are in power now. Hollywood and various watering spots of Florida have gone in for the bicycle craze. New ensembles have been created for the fashionable bicycle rider, and those who do not "own their own" are simply mid-victorian. A NEW FAD Along with fashionable resorts university towns are quick to adopt any new fad. So probably before long all the students will turn into Western Union messengers and be scouting along the campus a la bike. Lawrence is a rather unfortunate place for bicyclers. Fourteenth street hill is rather lofty for peddling upwards, and for those who like to coast without the handle-bars, a bit dangerous on the downward slope. If the situation demanded it, however, a pulley might be installed to aid struggling students in getting their bites to the level surfaces. Think how popular the individual would be who owned a bicycle built for two. Really, without a doubt it is just what the cabbies needs, a new fad that will increase consumption and transportation of the student body. So, to Florida, to Hollywood, and to the old French customs, we are thankful for a new idea for our campus, and from now on our motto will be, "reach for a bike instead". Our Contemporaries Daily Texan: WAR IN THE ORIENT With more than $115,000,000 worth of American interests and holdings in Shanghai menaced by the Japanese invasion of that leading Chinese city, the attention of the world and America to the growing threat of the Far East. In the past three have been frequent tense situations in that part of the world, but there has not been one so fraught with danger and potential for war as the present state of affairs. Daily Texan: Shanghai is unique in that part of it is under the control of various foreign powers under a treaty agreement with the Chinese government. This section, however, does not deal with issues most of the property and holdings of the various interested foreign powers, among them the United States, Great Britain, France, and Japan. It is this role that makes China responsible for the tenacity of the existing situation, since Japanese troops have crossed the boundaries of the International City and have used Japanese concessions to build new buildings in the Chinese, fortified in the native part of Shanghai, and Japanese planes have dropped bombs within the boundaries of the International City ceding the lives of hundreds of nationalists of the various foreign powers. The regular garrison of American marines have already seen action, and additional destroyers and cruisers of the American Assateague squadron have been sent to protect American interests there. The situation is strained in between Japan and other countries in the International City, but it is to be hoped that both sides will agree to a member to "keep cool." Too many wars in the past have been started by the bombardment of a nation which did not stop to consider the results of its actions, and all should profit by the success which have been made in the past. 15 On the Hill Years Ago Feb. 9, 1917 "If war is declared against Germany, the University faculty, and students should not be alarmed by the word "williness" Chancellor Sirang said faremng in answer to the questions posed to him. A hill was recently introduced into the legislature proposing that each of the large state schools be allowed to build a wall, or to build walls of residence for women. If anything acts heavy on your stomach, ten chances to one it's the board you've been eating. Five courses are offered this term in the School of Religion.

Kansas has four basketball games scheduled for next week. Tryouts for the women's swimming meet are being held today and tomorrow. Just because an editor referred to Dr. Naimith as Dr. Neigh Smith is no reason why we should give him the 'orse lurch' Freshmen to Pay Rushing Fee Mimicappan, Feb. 9 – (NSFAA) The interproficiency council at the University requires requiring a $2 fee of freshmen accepting dates during the regular winter quarter rushing week. The university defines the rules that defray the cost of robesh' meals and to eliminate the entertainment of freshmen who might accept dates with a member of becoming a member of any fraternity.
