Mexico Becoming Nation of Farms, Says Alva Taylor
No. 78
Government of Country Is Giving Peon Social and Economic Standing
"The labor government of Mexico is championing the rights of the Indian peon and giving him a social and economic status that he has never before enjoyed," declared Dr. Alva W, Tayler of Indianapolis, well known lecturer and writer, in an address Tuesday afternoon in Fraser hall.
"The agrarian land laws of the Mexican constitution are taking the large estates from the hands of the common people, and those from them among the common people. Consequently, the country which, a few years ago, was composed of two classes, landowners and serfs, is rapidly the nation of anomal, independent farmers."
Reviews Social Struggles
Doctor Taylor reviewed briefly the struggle of the Mexican Indian for access to medical care past century. He told how the Catholic priest, Father Hidalgo, had waged a fight for freedom and was driven from the church and executed; how Morlos, another priest, had in turn faced similar threats at the house of Hidalgo, only to meet a similar fate.
He traced the struggle through the regimes of Diaz, Madero, Carranza, and Oregon, to the present administration that outlawed the markable degree of emancipation that had come to the peon.
"The social program outlined by Calleys has caught the common people and they are firmly behind the government," said the speaker. "Already 22,000,000 acres of land have been sold to the Indians, and as rapidly as arrangements can be made more is being distributed."

Bonds Sold to Buy Land
*Bonds, dues in 20 years, are being issued by the government and are be-
tained from the present owners. The land-bonds receive the assessed value plus an additional sum amounting to 10 per cent of the price of the land. The catates are then cut up into small parts who are given 20 years in which they are paid for them.
Foreigners Object to Plan
"In the second place, many foreign landowners, including Americans, objected to this plan. Mr. Obama could force them to take Mexican paper for the land when the country's credit was unstable. A clash of legal and moral rights followed, in which the United States was involved, but the matter is being unresolved asuuccountrees appointed by the two governments."
"Of course innumerable problems present themselves in this great experiment in democracy," explained Dewey. "It is important to the Indians, though very glad to get the land, do not know how to take care of their new possessions. So agricultural schools are being built and taught how to train people in better methods of farming."
Doctor Taylor spoke at the Y. M. C.
A. forum at Mall's hall on the evening
on the religious situation in Mexico.
Last summer he accompanied a group
of Americans to Mexico to study exist-
ing social and economic conditions.
Church Not Being Driven Out
burcher, in the fight to “the religious conflict in Mexico” simply the old fight between the church and the state,” he explained. “It is the struggles of the church hierarchy and the civil government for power, and is not an attempt on the part of the government to drive the Catholic church out of the country. Moreover, the government is involved in any way with religion worship.”
Doctor Taylor confirmed the statements concerning the religious crisis made by Rohberto Haberman, who spoke at the University last week. He pointed out that many Americans do not understand the Mexican culture and that there is a conflict between ecclesiastical and temporal power in the United States.
"The facts of the case are brief." The church hierarchy does not recognize a law higher than itself. Consultation is needed in a situation providing for the registration of church property and church officials were declared unlawful by the archbishop, and 22,000 priests and other church officers have gone on to sue.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1983
Sleigh-Belle Sour Owl Is Put on Sale Today
The Sleigh Belle number of the owl Owl appeared on the Hill this morning. The salesman's were stored inside the buildings because it was rainy and weathered.
There have been twenty-four hundred copies of the Sleigh-Bell number printed. Many of the students are buying caps, home, accordion and the saxophone.
All of the students who have contributed material that has been used in this issue are urged to get their books back and copy at the University Business office.
County Club Speakers for Holiday Meetings May Still Be Obtained
Programs Are Being Arranged by Many Organizations Over State
Tomorrow and Friday will be the last days that speakers for county club meetings may be arranged for recording to be made by the county club committee. "Any indefinite arrangements must be made certain now by telegraphic or long distance communications with those in charge of meetings at home."
Contriary to a somewhat general opinion, the individual county clubs will not have to bear any of the expenses of the transportation of speakers from one town to another, according to Fred Elsworth. "All that is required of them is to bring them in arranging for meetings and letting the people know about the meetings they have been arranged," said Elsworth.
Six possible combinations or circuits of towns have almost completed plans for meetings arranged so that each speaker will be able to serve four or five different towns. Four of these have already made definite dates. There are still many speakers available.
From the reports coming in daily at the almuhri office, it is seen that some of the clubs are sponsoring high school assemblies through their own efforts entirely. However, most of the work of this kind is to be done in conjunction with the boal almuhri. Almuhri may be obligated to public meetings of all kinds. Lists of almuhri may be obtained at the almuhri office.
Charles Scott of Iowa, president of the alumnum association, declared today that he was at the service of the school's faculty to aid them in any way possible. Practically all of the slides and reels have been spoken for, according to Ellsworth, but one or two sets of slides, a K. U. film or two, and several window displays may be secured in the building. Ellsworth also said that there would be enough printed literature for anyone who wishes to distribute it
Few Senior Glosses I
Deadline Is Set for Jan. 10.
According to Editor
"Senior glasses have not been coming into the Jayhawk office as they should," according to Clifford Anderson, editor. There are approximately five hundred glasses to be turned in and to date only fifty have made their way to the office for the remittance of these he has set for Jan. 10, 1927, a week after
These gloses must be turned in by that date. All seniors are heartily urged to co-operate with the editor and manager of the Jayhawker.
One hundred junius have signed up for space in the amount and very few of these have shown up with their tickets. None has been seen for Jan. 10, also.
Organization that have not paid for their space in the Jayhawk should do so as soon as possible as well as训战. The organization has not been definitely net for these but it will probably be around the middle of January. Copy to accompany the pictures of the organizations should be turned in immediately. If the different organization copy must contain they should come up to the office and find out as soon as possible.
At the Michigan State College, seven out of every ten men are earning part of their way through school as was shown by a study in deposit finances conducted by the mathematics department.
Contributions for Christmas Candle Fund Behind Goa
First Day's Sales Are Not Indicative of Amount Which May Be Received
Contributions to the Christmas cake fund, although much better this morning than yesterday, were still far behind the goal set by the University Christmas Committee. No more today, and more now it was estimated by Mary Angel, president of the Jay James in charge of the sales.
Not Indicative of Total
This, however, is not indicative of the campaign. The mayor has received, according to Dean John R. Dyer, as the first day of the campaign is usually little more than advertisement for the two remaining days. The heavy contributions are made in this afternoon and tomorrow.
The goal set by the committee was $1400. Yesterday only $97.45 was obtained.
If organized groups would contribute in lamps sums instead of depending upon members to contribute individually, the candle sale would be greatly stimulated. Miss Engel believes.
No solicitations of contributions are being made by the women in it to the fund on the Hill; all donations to the fund are strictly voluntary.
American Legion is Spokane. If the original goal was $250,000 for the Fidite scholarship award of 1927 which will provide for the maintenance at the University of some war orphan from one of the allied countries of the World War. The scholarship is he left over from the partiment of the American Legion.
The remander of the fund will be
turned over to Corred Hoffman,
former University Y. M. C. A. a-
secretary, new head of the International
Student Service, for disposition in
international student friendliness.

For each contribution of $1 a tag will be given, admitting the holder to tonight's games. Otherwise the tickets will be 25 cents each.

Academy Created After War
After the Civil War the National Academy of Sciences was created by Congressional country. The National Academy was formed in 1904, World war I and for some centuries that of a cooperative corporation for the interest and fortification of the sciences. The council command of representatives of more than twenty national scientific societies organized an own organization, but appointed by the president of the National Academy. It is a merit of cooperative organization of scientific men, of man of affairs, of hardiness men, who are interested but not in industry, in cooperation, in agriculture or other sciences upon which "applied" science depends.
With the beginning of the World War, Science became a pre-eminent self of the real work, and official business. It was during this time that in writing articles to which those of Science would be addressed word "One of the most powerful pictures of the German armies."

Union Cafeteria Floor to Be Ready for Use in March, Says Elliott
Ventilating System Contract to Be Let Immediately on Low Bid
The caterpillar floor in the Union building should be ready for occupancy early in March, Sherman G. Bluth, treasurer of the memorial corporation and superintendent of construction, said today.
The contract for the ventilating system in the cafeteria has been holding the work up, but on the basis of data submitted on the new specification, the contract will be let immediately for the installation of the new system. The low bid was $8,250, admitted by the Kansas City Ventilation Company. Before the contract was reviewed by Pond & Pond, architects, the low bid was $2,490, which was considered too extensive.
As soon as work is started on the
installed system, surrounds can be
set for the remainder of the work,
which should go right ahead without
hopping from now until the building
is completed. Elliott said.
It is thought the cafeteria floor, in subsequent, and first floor will be completed before commencement.
Stadium May Be Finished
That top Memorial stadium will be completed in time for the first football game in 1927 appears probable as a result of action taken by the athletic board last night at its meeting at the University Club, where the team provided satisfactory financial arrangements could be made.
Complete Cost of New Loans to Be $160,000
The new units would cost about $100,600 to complete. The last bond issue was for $80,000 of which $35,000 has been paid at the present time. If the company wishes to disburse the amount yet to be paid and total would be $200,000,
A committee consisting of Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman, Dean H. W, Arant, and Irving Hill was appointed to meet with financiers and see what propositions they would make toward the project. The committee will communicate to the athletic board and that body will act upon them.
If the contract could be let in the future, it would make the price change as the company would have an in which to get the work finished.

Reporters Unable to Learn Lineups of All-Star Teams
Athletes Spend Quiet Day
Awaiting Crucial Test;
Naismith to Play
Own Game
Folks, it's a secret. Fifteen reporters have tried during the last two days to get the lineup of the "Crimson" and "Blues" from the real captains, Dean Dyer and Prof. Wheeler, but they have absolutely refused to take photos of the ruses known to the newspaper game have been worked on these two stalwart leaders, but they have remained firm and refused to fall for anything. So you will have to go to the game tonight to see just how they turn up. Today the members of the two teams would be playing a gymnasium and spending the rest of the time resting up for the crucial contest.
Doctor Allen and John Bann have put their team through the last (but also the first) workout before the game and are letting their athletes have time during the training during the past days they have the structured their charges just wint to do in every situation and if any trick plays are worked successfully, it will be because some man has gone to sleep on his job or has failed to get work done of wisdom. He flown from the mouth of the two touches.
Naismith May Play
It is stated on good authority that Doctor Naismith will appear in the fray for a few seconds. It iscepts he can be seen and get to appear in his own face, and certainly with such estarng answers as both these all-star aggregations possess, Doctor Naismith would probably rather deliver a hit; in fact or tell of his results. Billy of the Rising Sun could either lift the Crimson Blue and play his own game.
Bear stories are flying thick and fast as they always do just before a big game. Consider Wesleyan, the man who absolutely cannot be stopped last year, may not get to play. At least that is what some of the players say, although the opposing team declares that this is merely a polite hoax to get them off their mural. They fully expect the player to star in the upcoming season, but will probably be bitterly disappointed if he does not, because they have sworn vengeance for the destruction he wrought against them last year.
The rules committee on the game has been working over time and it will require a corps of experts to track all of the offences. A last minute change has been made and any other changes may not happen the last year is not eligible to play. However, the men who have had their one stronous workout have fixed up an alibi that they only pretended to pracise when they were playing and will allow them to play the game.
Due to the fact that Doctor Allen must catch a train to Cochyville, the variety-all-star game will be played in two formats; low and high. The first game starts promptly at 7:30 and the price is only 25 cents or two bits or one-fourth of a games American dollar. All the proceeds are needed for the Christmas Games fit Fund.
The variety is in good condition and Doctor Allen reports that his All Stars are in the heat of health and ready to do battle. The games will be great ones and the cause is a worthy one. Be there.
