Returns Show That
Few Students of Age
Voted at Fall Election
First-Voters May Make Errors but Experience Will Help, Guild Believes
Political indications at Tuesday's election show the number of voters failing to cast their ballots corresponds to the findings of the Merger Commission.
The returns show that only about one-third of the students of voting age went to the polls to register their political preference. In many cases the reason for not voting was given as failure to register at the longer time.
Professor Guild expressed an opinion that minor changes and legal provisions be made for the benefit of the absent voters. Also that the politician "back home" should make a point in addressing the ruggedness in the ridges of causing a bolt.
Through the efforts of Prof. F., H. Guilf of the department of political science, the students who went to vote on Monday were many. Professor Guild feels that even if the mitakes made were numerous, the persons have had the experience of voting and at the election two years ago, going to vote will not be such an ordained.
"It is the voting problem," he said, "which the average politician does not realize. The party organization may be strong at time of the election and there may be desire to vote, but the need now is for previous knowledge."
Industrial Offers Open
Calls for graduates from the School of Business to fill executive positions are already coming in to the placement bureau, according to Pref. H. F. Bergstresser, who has charge of all applications.

"This is unusually early in the year or such applications," said Prof. Bergstresser. "I am sure that we have been allowed to almost positions or graduates."

Democrat Assails Coolidge's Draft of Tax Reduction
Swanson Believes Surplu in Treasury Warrants Greater Income Slashes
Washington, Nov. 7—President Coolidge's proposal for a 10 to 12 per cent retroactive reduction on income taxes today encountered opposition of Democrats, who made known their intention of fighting at the coming session of congress for a reduction more than twice as great.
Senator Claude Swanson, Democrat, Virginia, outlined the Democratic plan in a statement to the United Press to the effect that the steadily accumulating treasury surplus warrants an immediate revision of the tax system so that in the future the treasury surplus would not need it needs, and that the present surplus warrants a 25 per cent, reduction from top to bottom.
Democrat Asks Double Cut
"The reduction suggested by Mr. Coallidge is not one half what it should be" Swanson said. It is lime that we revise the tax system so that the government collects only what it needs for its obligations. We need a reduction so that the people's money will not in the future accumulate in the treasury department in the form of a surplus.
Mr. Coolidge's statement through his White House spokesman later year yesterday indicated he would recommend a reduction from 10 to 12 per cent in his tax allowance it reconvenes, Dec. 6. The plan would effect only income and corporation taxes—not the miscellaneous and so-called nuisance tax.
He made it clear that his proposal was only a temporary measure, warranted by the estimate that the treaties would reach $250,000,000 this fiscal year.
Rebate in Present Plan
Rebate in Presen- tion ... locally a b ite of taxes listed with the government last March. Any permanent reduction should wait until time works out the permanent effect of the ores and taxation, the spokesman suggested.
The announcement was entirely unexpected. Mr. Coolidge and Secretary of the Treasury Mellon had insisted that it would be unwisely to permit any tax reduction for at least a year.
Mellon made no public comment on the President's new proposal and it is not known whether he sanctioned the move. In the past, however, presidents have instructed the advice of their secretaries upon such special department problems.

At the close of these three meetings the team will be billed.
All those who wish to make the preliminary squand will do so through private conferences with Mr. Bachelor the third week in November. Those who wish to make his personality will be required to make a five-minute speech. The preliminary squand will be announced Nov. 19 and its meetings will begin soon after. The question for debate this year is: "Resolved, that Congress shall give federal legislation embedting the principles of the McNary-Hanegan farm bills."

Grinnell Pioneers Rout Jayhawkers in 32-7 Defeat
Kansas Pushes Over First
Touchdown in Valley
Season Against
Iowaans
When the Kansas football fans saw the Kansas Agrarian tau in action they thought that they were seeing a perfect football machine. A week later the Nebraska Cornwallers came along and looked a little better than the Agarians. Pioneers, a team which hitherto fled had not created much disturbance in the Valley, came along and looked better than any of the J. opponents this far this season. They defeated Kansas by a score of 32 to 7. A team of Pioneers put from the start until the final minute of play the Iowans were in there fighting. Meier's fine playing dominated the backfield's exhibition while Captain Martin and Rinefort were the masters of the Drake line. But the mention of these three men does not include all of the Pioneer men who played on the field, because require the mentioning of nearly all of the northern school's players.
Score Is Unusually Large
Score Is Unreasonably Large
Only two other valley schools have ever anothered Kansas by such a top-earthness. Oklahoma and Nebraska were the teams to accomplish this feat. The Kansas team by a wide margin but they were not in the Valley when this feat was accomplished.
The love touchdown for the Jayhawkers came in the third quarter on a pass, Zucker to Baker, for 24 yards. Wall was inserted into the fray and was pushed to the point. This was about the only time in the game that Kansas fans had a chance to show any enthusiasm and they really did. If applauses indicate appreciation then the Jayhawks follow up with a touchdown when their team makes a touchdown.
Hidden Ball Trick Is Used
Roadrunner join 'Tres Cies'
Grinnell brought their famous bible
binder into play. They are very
all occurrences it is usually good for
a substantial gain. This play is an
imitation of the famous Pennsylvania
biddon ball play. However, it looked
like the real thing to Kansas and not
an imitation.
In only one department of the game did Kissan excell Grimell and that was in the punting. Zuber's punts were usually good for more than forty yards and several of them appeared to be too punts. The punting was erratic. Some of his kicks went only 15 yards while one of them elicited the Kissan safety and went for the long distance of 75 yards. However, his incomprehensive punting was offset by the kickoffs that he made, which were always 55 yards or more.
An endless flock of substitutions by both sides during the fourth quarter slowed up the game considerably. Few exciting plays were executed by either side and when one was made it was usually by the Grimm's eleven-foot record for the season's competition. With only the Oklahoma Aggies and the Drake Bulldogs left on their Valley schedule it looks very difficult to find success through the season and win or tie for first place in the Valley. Since Oklahoma defended Missouri and the Kansas Aggies must play Nebraska.
