English Economist Talks on Reforms Needed in Finance
Burden of Taxation Must be Accurately Estimated For Each Class of Society
"Reform necessary to put finance upon a proper basis must be accomplished by organization, such that the effect of taxation upon the various classes of society, and upon the economic affairs of the country, may be accurately estimated. Henry Hill in his English economic in his lecture on "Some Defects of Government Finance," yesterday afternoon, in Fraser chaperon.
in the administration of government, as in the practice of medicine, an investigation of the cause of the ill is necessary before the prescription of a remedy, Doctor Higgs said. There has been, and is, too much political quackery. Business houses choose men for responsibility positions because of their ability to perform training, but the public does not choose men of exceptional capacity or specialized preparation for office.
House Ignorant of Finance
Responsibility for the fiscal affairs of Great Britain is incumbent upon the chancellor of the exchequer, the House of Commons, and finally upon the chancellor of the Treasury, however in the last analysis fall upon the chancellor of the exchequer, according to Doctor Higgs. "Only two officials who have held this tremendously important office of chancellor of the exchequer since the days of the exchequer have been experts, Doctor Higgs said,
"The House of Commons is for the most part uninformed on matters of public finance, and even if an objectionable feature is included in the budget the members give what they call a straight vote in order to avoid the necessity of the general election of a new parliament.
Expese Up 100 Per Cent
"The electors are no better informed on financial matters than the lower chamber," said Doctor Higgs. "A dearth of sufficient information to give the voter a compartmental view of the part to blame for his lack of knowledge. The balance sheet which is the official financial statement, shows only the amount of money collected and the amount of money received of assets or liabilities is included."
The annual expenditures of the government are more than seven times what they were before the war. According to the latest estimates, the application revenue is 60 receipt of public relief. It is now proposed that 140 billion dollars be collected in addition to regular taxes. The taxpayer is already turning over an estimated amount annually to the revenue collectors to Doctor Higgs.
John Neihardt Honored
First Civilian Elected to Orde Of Indian Wars
John G. Neihardt, who will read his poem, "The Song of the Three Friends," in Fraser chapel, Monday evening, April 23, has recently been honored by election to membership in the Order of Indian Wars.
The organization is one which is made up exclusively of generals and officers who participated in the Indian campaigns in America. The singular feature of Neihardt's election is that this is the first time a civilian has ever been admitted to membership. This exclusive body has made it to take him a member of their ranks, and he considers that Neihardt has done remarkable work in casting the story of the Indian campaigns into imperishable verse.
In his "Song of the Indian Wars," upon which he has worked for three years and which will take two or three years more to complete, Neihardt throws a hard fight with the heads of such magnificent American frontier figures as uCater, Cody, Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Spotted Tail, and others of the white and red chiefsatiles, giving evidence that in his own convictions, no matter which side of the controversy engaged him.

The membership of Quacks now totals fifteen women, and all but four have successfully passed the lifesaving tests. Dorothy Barter is president of the Club, and Louis Phillips ' secretary-treasurer.
Doctor Sherbon Back From Yearly Meeting Of Women's League
Well-Known Speakers Addres
Annual Convention Held
at Des Moines
Dr. Florence Shermion has returned from Des Moines, Iowa, where she attended the fourth annual convention of the League of Women Voters. Doctor Sheron is chairman of the Social Hygiene Committee of Kansas, and at the convention she gave a report for the committee.
Between four and five hundred attendees attended the convention, in addition to women from every state. There were twelve delegates from Kansas.
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization whose purpose is to educate women for citizen engagement. The League of women are interested in, without regard to party affiliations. It is a successor to the old Suffrage Association. When the woman's suffrage organization merged into this League,
There were two especially interesting mass meeting at the convention. At the first meeting an address was given by Judge Florence Allen, memorializing the subject "Outlawry of War." Judge Allen is the first woman to be elected to the state supreme court. She advocates the formation of an Institute in order to improve careers in the establishment of an International Court, but she thinks it should go much further than Harding's court. She believes the court should have power to settle the debate between the International Code.
Following Judge Allen's address Herbert Hoover made the first formal presentation of President Harding's speech in 1934, a move that earned the nomination. Hoover believes that the proposal for a court with advisory powers is as far as we can go now. Through this court he thinks public officials should be held accountable when other steps will be possible.
Report on Utility Rates
Population of All Cities and Towns Tabulated
The League of Kansas Municipalities, which is associated with the municipal reference bureau of the University, is preparing for issuance a report including a list of cities for 541 cities of Kansas: water, light, power, and telephone. This is to be the largest report ever put out by the organization. It will also show the population of all cities and towns, one亿 five hundred thousand more than one-half of the population of Kansas now resides in cities.
The bureau is prepared to answer information of all kinds. During the past year more than 700 inquiries were answered concerning paving oiling, and caring for streets, insurance for pool and dance halls, insurance of bonds, calling of specimen banks, commissioning barges and commissioning forms of government, and legal opinions on city ordinances and state laws in general.
A recent compilation by the bureau shows a complete survey of tax rates in all Kansas towns and cities along with property taxes and services rendered by municipalities through its revenues. By comparison of reports from various cities of its size, any municipal government may have to rely upon a warrant from any particular line of activity.
The University of California has refused to class golf as a minor sport. The main reason for the refusal is the lack of facilities for playing of the student body at large. Only a relatively few students are able to play on the line with a ball and a net, as general participation is thus denied, it was considered best not to award a circle "C" for playing golf.
