The Daily Kavan aims to picture the children of Kaunas to go further than merely creating the news by standing for the ideals of their nation; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be charitable and to be courageous to leave home problems unresolved. To serve in the best of its ability the community.

TAXES
President Coolidge wins an unanimous indemnsement and approval from his critics by taking a definite stand for immediate reduction in war taxes.
In his message to Congress last week he expressed the belief that such a reduction would give every home a better chance, and the diminished charge against the moderate incomes would not greatly reduce the sum needed to offset the war debts.
The President's plan seems to be a good one. While the people of the great middle class with moderate incomes do not bear such a great portion of the expense of the government, they are the ones who feel the sacrifice most.
Reduction of taxation suggested should prove an actual stimulus to prosperity by leaving small capitals unburdened with war taxes in a time of peace.
Due to the depreciation of the mark, a new malady called "zero stroke" has hit Germany. Probably called such, as it is caused over nothing.
SLEEPING
Many times recently have educators, statement and leading periocials of the country accused American college students of昏睡 and apathy toward questions and events of international consequence.
The truth of the accusation is evident. Professors, the country over, have sounded the alertness of their students toward current events and have discovered that the vast majority know little, and what is worse, care little about what is going on about them.
Meetings of religious or sociological nature, politics, and problems of world-wide import, considered seriously and thoughtfully, are attended by small groups too insignificant in numbers for comparison with the throngs that crowd theaters and dance floors. Conversations among college students are concerned with the fads and frivolities of the day, and narrow personal interests, of little consequence beyond the immediate circle of friends.
The reasons for the existence of such an attitude are not so evident, and can be found only by careful search into the minds of contemporary college students.
Is it true that students' interests have narrowed to such an extent that they are content to take on an attitude of self-compulsive propriety and selflessness in their own comfort and security?
Are they obsessed with the optimistic belief that the ultimate outcome will be for the good, regardless of their assistance or interest in the situation; or do they doubt their ability to do anything?
Is it possible that their feeble retreat of "no time" can be the reason? Do curriculums and social affairs really leave no time for the consideration of the affairs of the world?
When these questions have been answered, the remedies for the situation will be evident. We must have education tending toward the realization of the vital connection of the well-being of others with our own welfare; and compulsory study of current events, or the creation of p

situation which will stimulate an interest in national affairs.
There is need for a change from philosophy of idle, apathetic optimism to a Christian spirit of service and love; the development of a public opinion demanding greater decuracy in the news, and a desire and constant search for the truth; or, a slowing up of the tremendous gait of modern life, to allow for sober reflection on the tendencies of civilization.
J. W, BUNN, Chairman County Club Committee.
Democracy depends for its life upon thinkers. If students are not thinking of the affairs of the world now, when are they going to start?
The little Filipino boy who has arrived in this country to claim a third of a 30-million dollar estate said that he didn't know what he would do with so much money. He needn't worry; there will be more to one tell him what to do with it.
K. U.'s CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
This year marks the third anniversary of the establishment of the Christmas Tree tradition with its closely associated custom of creating a gift from the students of the University to a noble and worthy cause. The gift, K. U.'s Friendship Fund, secured from the sale of Christmas candles, is to be sent across the sea to needy and deserving fellow students. After much deliberation, an executive committee appointed by Chancellor E. H. Lindley agreed that such disposition of the fund is the most advisable.
Some students are of the opinion that the University stands alone in such an enterprise. In America the greatest schools of the country are doing their bit.
Princeton's goal has been set at $20,000.
Harvard is out for $5,000, and Yale has given $4,500 and promises more.
The women of Cornell have pledged $1,125, and the women students at the College of Emporia have agreed to go without Sunday lunches to swell their contribution.
North Carolina State College men went without Sunday supper for three months and thereby turned in 71,000.
MORE THAN HONOR
Coolidge used a pint of words to express a bushel of thought. Now congress will use a barrel of words to express a spoonful of thought.
Recognition of four years of service toward the interests of the University has been given by Sachem senior men's honorary organization in the election to membership of nine men who will be graduated this spring.
Is K. U. to be out-classed in her efforts to do her bit? Is she going to sit back content to permit other schools to show their more generous spirit? No. When the time comes she will rise to meet worthy obligations in a true Christmas spirit.
--playful actor got tangled up with the gallows at rehearsal (expression in first line should be spoken of as a "nectic party").
The honor goes to these men who have taken specific responsibility during their school career and have promoted the interests of the school at large. They are chosen on merit by a joint election of faculty and Sachs.
The men in athletics and in other activities have sacrificed a great deal, and denied themselves of personal pleasures in order to keep fit to represent K. U. and Kansas.
Furthermore these nine men have gained something for themselves other than membership in the organization. They have developed a loyalty to their Alma Mater which they will cherish all their lives. They have become imbued with a spirit of camaraderie and have a desire for co-operation that will spell success for them in the business world. This ability, energy and willingness will not lie dormant, but will propagate.
One dollar was the sum recently granted to a woman by a jury for the alienation of her husband's affections. That jury was undoubtedly made up of all single men.
