1924 Internal Revenue
Act in Budget
Message

ASKS PUBLIC SUPPORT
No. 73
Raymond Clapper, fs'17
Washington, Dec. 9—(UP) —A proposal to raise nearly one billion a year in additional taxes by re-enacting approximately the 1924 internal revenue act for a two-year period was held before the Senate. However in his budget message today.
He would provide that the tax increase definitely terminate July 1 1934.
A return to the 1924 law would tend to increase federal taxes from top to bottom, while wealthy groups, but reaching down to include thousands of small income families.
Without specifying details, Mr. Hoover said the 1924 law should be recited with such changes as might inappropriate in the light of altered conditions.
Mr. Hoover said this action is necessary to maintain public confidence are the financial integrity of the federa government.
It would raise the minimum income tax rate from 1/15 per cent to 2 per cent. Exemptions would be lowered from $1,500 to $1,000 on single persons and families of under five years old persons. The maximum surtax rate would be increased from 20 per cent on incomes of more than $10,000 to a rate of 40 per cent on incomes of more than $60,000.
Would Raise Income Tax
It would revive numerous stamp and sales taxes such as the 1924 law levied on automobiles, jewelry, certain amps, and stock transactions and leased means.
"We cannot maintain public confidence nor stability of the federal government without undertaking some action," he said. Hoover said in his budget message, "The plan of approximately re-enactment of the Constitution is the great advantage that the government is equipped by experience with similar legislation for its systematics and eco-
"The public has paid such taxes in the past and has found them not in compliance, nor do they prevent increased prosperity. By providing a definite date for termination of the temporary increase it will allow taxpayers to look forward to de-
Shows Years Deficits
The deficit for the year end is June was $602,000; for the current fiscal year it is estimated at $212,800 and for next year it is $1,417,000.
The president believes the tax increase should be arranged to raise about $220,000,000 a year. This would not permit balancing of the budget for federal spending, and it would not cover the $500,000,000 for retirement of the public debt.
604000 and 125,000. Mr. Hoover has squeezed down still further his budget requests for appropriations for the year beginning in July—cutting them the $36,900 per year. He said he would pay the same year. He described this as a "drastic curtailment." He emphasized that national defense would not be jeopardized by such cuts, a grand total of $3,924,744,612.2.
Seeks Citizens Support
"The welfare of the country demands that the financial integrity of the federal government be held accountable," said. "This is a necessary factor in the rebuilding of a sound national protec-

Mrs. J. B. Watkins, donor of the $175,000 structure, was not pleased with the old design. "The old inscription was distrustful and hard to read, and I wanted it to be more informative." It like the word "bospital much better," Mrs. Watkins said today.

Final action on these applications will be conducted by the triennium council of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa which governs them.

Purpose Explained
Edwell Forshaw, alumni secretary, told of the activities of former county clubs that had a high number of possible activities, he gave the use of parties, picture shows, basketball games, game displays, and banquets. He also advised students, to the high schools is a very effective way of interesting the student-athlete. "Over 60 per cent of the grades given at the University is A or B.

"Student Life as Experienced at Harvard, Cambridge, and Berlin," was the subject of a talk given by Prof. H. R. DeSiva of the department of psychology at a meeting of the Graduate club of the bacteria of the building last night.
There is also a great difference in the libraries of the three schools, Harvard being the most efficient. At Cambridge books being the most listed, books being listed under the author's name in large volumes, a plan that sometimes makes research very difficult. It would take five years to card making the Cambridge library, Doctor Rowley.

Athletic Directors Ponder Over Drop in Gate Receipts
Student Attitude Credited With Main Decrease in Big Six Games Attendance
WINNER HAS INCREASE
In the conference last season none but the two strong teams of the confer- ment, Carissa Angies and Nebraska, reported to be in a tie-to-a tie, cruse to any considerable degree over other years. At Nebraska, in fact, there was a slight increase, and Nebraska fell short, with Nebraska school an attendance record might well have been made except that rain kept the crowd down at the Nebraska game when the season's best drawing card.
Everyone Wants Winner
Kansas City, Dec. 9. - (UP) There are several reasons for the decreased gate receipts at Big Six conference games. In addition, the athletic directors of the conference decided today. A student, they told the United Press, may not care much about the difference in revenue the winner he becomes the same howlwon touchdown-mad fan of other years, and right there you have one of the reasons for a decided drop in gate receipts.
"I's hard to get students or alumni to support a losing team," Dr. F. C. Alen said. "Everyone wants a winner in the conference and teams in the conference had much to do with the attendance decreases." The economic situation also had its effect on the conference directors to have hurt gate receipts. Prices of tickets may be too high is the belief of some of the men, especially viewed of depressed business conditions.
Suggest Lower Prices
It is a difficult question, however, when an attempt is made as to how he should be treated after being told it was tried by setting aside a special section for sale to students at $1 a seat. "About half the people in that city are not students," Herb Gish at Nebraska said. "Appropriately students had sold their tickets to outsiders." It was that that allowed the students at Nebraska in spite of the improved attendance. Brewer believes that about $2 a seat would be a reasonable price before the $2-30 or $3 generally charged.
ECONOMY PROGRAM APPROVED
The general outline of economy laid down by the athletic directors of Big Ten colleges is the same for university representatives of the schools at a meeting held in Kansas state center. For instance, he helped in the economy program by deciding to abandon their spring meet
Big Six Faculty Representatives Agree With Action of Directors
The directors agreed to discontinue the awarding of conference medals in round robin tournaments in tennis, wrestling and robin tournaments in basketball, each school to schedule matches in these sports as they see fit. The tournament committee will meet with the power to determine winners in these sports where the round robin tournaments have been played.
In view of the fact that football gate receipts felt an alarming let down this year of 25 per cent, the athletic directors will have to put into effect discipline programs in order that stadium and house payments may be made.
Among other things done at the meeting was the elimination of the 175 pound class in wrestling, and hereafter a number of classes will be held under the capacity of referees without pay.
The faculty representatives met with representatives from Haskell Institute to discuss their team teams can play Haskell next year due to the fact that Haskell is not considered of collegiate rank. It was decided that they would be sent a card to the Big Six would remain the same as in former years. As a result, these teams will be responsible to schedule if the officials wish to do so.
Other economy measures adopted were the elimination of one official baseball game, and the ball games next year will be played with only three officials on the field unless serious objections are raised. The ball games this year will have only one official.
Another move in the interest of economy was the change of the rule determining the number of men that may be entered into indoor meets and four instead of five may be entered in outdoor meet. This also takes away the natural advantage of school where the meet is being held.
A meeting of the K. U. Athletic board has been called for Dec. 14, when the fate of the Kansas Relays will probably be determined.
