XXVIII No. 90 Tax Bill Withheld From Court Until Legislature Ends LAWRENCE, KANSAS. SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 1931 FOUR PAGES If Bill Is Passed, Taxes Must Be Paid in March PASSAGE IS PREDICTED Topkea, Jan. 17–(Special)—With the Hicks bill before the lower house now which asks that the fraternity house be withdrawn, an action has been withheld until April when the legislature will adjourn. It is time for the governor to get no further than the committee meeting; such is a general opinion. If the legislature fails to meet soon after legislature returns. Defendants Note Constitution The legislature shall provide for a uniform taxation on all property and taxation; but all property used exclusively for state, county, municipal literary, educational, scientific, religious, benevolent and charitable purposes, and personal property to the individual. The public shall be exempt from taxation. Constitutionality to Be Issue The Hicks bill, however, if passed, would not indicate that the various houses at the University would be required to mean, on the other hand, that spring taxes, issued in March, would have to be met by the fraternities. That is, providing the Supreme Court should decide against them in the present litigiousness cannot cact retractive measures. The bill which Hicks introduced in the lower house Thursday tends to specifically declare that fraternity houses are taxable and that consequently the organized house should be placed on the tax roll. There is some confusion about part action. Such a measure may be defended as constitutional grounds. The motion for an immediate hearing before the Supreme Court by the University was filed some three weeks ago. It was hoped at the time that the University would be quicker. As matters stand now a hearing may not be effected until early Ralph Opm, of the Stone, McClare, Webb and Johnson law firm, attorney for the organized houses at the University of Texas, met the approval of both houses and became a Kansas statute that the case would be fought fiercely on a court-mandated basis. Gorrill Optimistic It has been learned that the defendants in the case, the state tax commission, the county treasurer, and the county treasure, are likewise anxious for an early hearing. As the case stands now, mother party defied the court's order to give controversy, and neither knows what action must be taken next pending the verdict handed down by the Supreme Court. Attorney Gorrill, of the firm which is fighting for the state in the case, said yesterday morning before the report from Topeka, that he did not believe that the present problem dealing with the taxation have any effect on the taxation case. Musical Comedy Selected Furthermore, he said, "I believe that the law will be passed and feel that it should be, though the fraternities are a party of the educational system." in April 'Purging Purgatory' to Be Given Late in April "Purging Purgatory" has been selected by the committee in charge, for the W.S.C.A. musical comedy and will be performed at the 2016 Liberty libero was written by Mary Neubauer, e'unel, and Arnold Enberg.

H Lindley, and the heads of the several universities. GREAT AID IN 5 GIFTS The report, which has just come from the state printer for distribution is that on which the relegts and buddies of the governor recommend to the governor a lifestyle. Many of the University recommendations were approved by the relegts, governor, and budget director and others were deterred for the present. In his summary, preceding the separate reports of the various deans and directors of divisions, the chancellor will announce that research now being carried on at the University, and make particular mention of five fine gifts made to the University in the past biennium. An enrolment, Chancello Lindsey says. Senior College Section Grows "Strongly enough, hard times while resulting in reduced volume of trade, usually bring no reduction of the resources plunging the halls in greater numbers than in good times. These are important," he said. "They have as you say good educational service as in good times, which indeed may require their college course is finished." The chancellor submitted figures showing attendance of 5328 different students in the University in 1928-29 and 7766 in the year 1929-30. In addition, 1235 students received instruction in 1929-30 in extension courses. "It is noteworthy," continued the chancellor, "that for several years the growth in attendance has been in the university school. This is due to two principal causes: (1) Increase in the number of junior colleges in Kansas, which attests to the success of those who might otherwise have become freshmen of the University; and (2) Increase in the number of degrees of the state, as well as with the junior colleges, resulting in increased numbers coming to the University with Fine Gifts Are Acknowledgent Gifts to the University include the student hospital gift from Mrs. J. B. Brown, with whom he is fortunate for a boy of Kansas, encurring a four-year college course for a selected group; the Boylan bequest for medical research; the Carnegie grant of funds to the German exchange scholarship. Dean E. B. Stouffer of the Graduate School recommends technical assistance for men engaged in important research for publishing results of research. The registrar reports degrees to 909 persons in 1929 and 950 persons in 1930. Since the University was founded in 1852, 628 degrees have received as 13,570 different persons, of whom 8,600 were men and 5,370 were women. The School of Business, established in 1924-25, has almost tripled its enrollment in six years. Prof. Mabel A. Elliott's book on "Con- tacting in history in statutes" has be- come a popular reading early this spring.
