TUESDAY,OCT.31,1922 Lincoln would have made a great backlash for one of his maxims was: "If you can't remove an obstacle plough around it." THE STATE BONUS On November 7 the people of Kansas will be asked to express preference at the polls on a measure officially known as the Kansas Adjusted Compensation Act—popularly known as the "soldiers' bonus." It may be well to explain what adjusted compensation means. The popular conception of the act is that its object is to make able-bodied men a gift for their services in the war. This is not so at all. Adjusted compensation means just what the name implies. Men who did not go to war made good money at home during its progress—everyone knows that—while those who entered the service made approximately thirty dollars a month. This thirty dollars did not go far when a service man had made his war risk insurance payments, bought Liberty Bonds, as he was practically forced to do, and made allotments to his dependants. Sometimes he had as high as three or four dollars a month to spend on follish pleasure, tobacco and necessities. On the other hand, many a young man who stayed at home made from twelve to fifteen dollars a day when before he had done well to make three. The adjusted compensation act means to equalize this injustice. Many tax-payers are fighting the measure because they feel they are burdened to death with taxes now. The state tax commission has issued figures which state that taxes will be increased with the passage of the act only 39 cents on each one thousand dollars of assessed valuation. Thus if a tax payer is assessed twenty dollars tax for one thousand dollars worth of property now, he will have to pay 39 cents additional if the adjusted compensation act carries. The measure calls for 25 million dollars, the payments to be extended over a twenty-five year period. Last year the people of Kansas spent 50 million dollars on candy, tobacco and amusements. Just half as much expenditure for such would pay adjusted compensation to Kansas soldiers in one year instead of twenty-five. The attorney-general of Kansas has decided that the measure, if carried, must have a majority of all votes cast. This simply means that a voter who votes for everything else in the election but neglects to vote yes or no on the adjusted compensation act really against it. The ex-service man of Kansas want an expression of opinion from the voters. If you feel the measure should carry when you go to the polls, vote for it; if you are opposed to it, vote no. But vote one way or the other and express an opinion. Kansas veterans do not want to see the measure go by default for lack of votes. Official Daily University Bulletin Vol. II. Oct. 31. 1922.

INTELLECTUAL BUMS NOW THAT IT'S OVER A big taxiist spaced across the Kaw River, Bridge early Friday evening and stopped at the north end of the bridge. Two 'men dressed in kuhki breches and flannel shirts climbed out and started for the Union Pacific depot. The young men in the taxi were bums. The were going to beat their way on a freight train to another town. They were out to rough it; they were after a taste of life in the raw. These "intellectual bums" were tough guys. They didn't care whether or not it was right to steal rides on freight trains. When a guy gets out in the world he can't be bothered, you know. You have to be a "hard gut" to get by with it. OCTOBER IN KANSAS Autumn—Dark blue skies, gorgeously-colored sunsets, riotically-tinted leaves, and crisp, invigorating air. Weinie roosts, steak fries, nature's long hikes into the country, nature's paradise. These fellows were "hard guys" if you should chance to ask them. No brake or anyone else could tell them where to head in. They were twenty minutes eggs and were going where they were going, see? They were boobing it, see be? But they took a taxi to the station! The ex-Kaiser is worrying a good deal these days; his faece does not believe she can live in the secluded home at Doorn more than four or five months each year. Now the powers can chuckle, at last the exemperor's heart has been touched. Brown fields of stubble, eloquent of the golden harvest of the summer, fade into the dim distance and are loot in the haze on the horizon. Great oaks and whispering elms are stripped of their garments and lift stark branches to the inverted, azure bowl above them. They wait silently for the coming of the snow king, the bowling winds and swirling, white lakes. Two inquiries that occur to the thoughtful student following the truitt and shouting are, what do the officers do now and whom do they represent? The senior president has duties in connection with commencement, the junior and sophomore presidents call meetings in connection with prom and hop defects but what do the others accomplish for the good of a college education? Large flocks of birds—darting thrushes, noisy blackbirds, friendly robins, tiny wrens—beat the air into a chaos for a moment and are gone. Small creatures of the earth busy themselves storing up supplies for the winter, scurrying here and there in warm, fuzzy coats. One conclusion is that fall elections are merely another offering upon the altar of the great god itself, including selfs, friends and fraternity not In the evening the sun, a disk of red, reeds toward the horizon, pauses a little, and drops from sight. A light breeze rustles brittle leaves on the trees and sweeps them, one by one, to earth. Darkness steals over the sky and all but obliterates a thin band of grayshick light which persists in the west. Shadowy, grotesque forms are silhouetted against a round, clear moon. Out of the stillness comes the erric cry of the “snow bird.” "Some of us call it Autumn but othery call it God." omitting blows to self's fancied enemies, which are an offering doubly precious to a certain type of mind. But now that it is all over, why not analyze how really valuable it all is, delete extraneous matter, and try a little introspection on the subject in an attempt to make the system and its results a worthy representation of consciousious University student government instead of a manipulation of puppets? Georges Carpentier now assumes the role of a diplomat—well he can never be called a slacker anyway. Jayhawk Jargon The son of an eastern millionaire is going to try for some records on the Kansas City speedway. He has three alternatives—he will break a record, break his dad, or break his neck. European debt nationals are still chanting the same old tune about canceling war debts owed us—and giving us nothing in return. The equation isn't balanced; the digits won't cancel. Two of our intimate friends went cancing on the Kaw the other evening and in the course of events had a few upsets, but they set up, setting, even to put it mildly. Twice in the past nineteen years the Agnies have succeeded in tying the score on us. Don't you think they think that we should thank of their record? Neither do we. West Virginia professors, we hear, have rebuked the students for using the word "hell" in the school yells. Now that is hell! Rex Beach, the novelist, comes out with the declaration, "Damn the prohibition reformers!" !! But you can't dam a "dry" stream. And speaking o freformation at the present rate it will be a national misdmeanor to chew Wrigley's by 1975. Some new Greek books have been received at Spooner! A, the Greek letter man will be right in their element! Freshmen at the University of South Dakota are required to chase squirrels about the campus. Look at them! Sometimes the "worm turneth." Campus Opinion One of the freshmen, when informed that the dance would be played by a "five piece" orchestra, inquired "Who broke it up?" Regular rehearsal of Men's Glee Club Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in Central Administration Hall. The present—R. J. Dyer, Mambrah. Now that "the best men on the ticket" have been elected, just what are they going to do? Are they going to fulfill all the promises made before the great day? That is a big question, but there is another of just as much importance, that is, are they going to have the chance? ANNOUNCEMENTS There will be an important business meeting of PlLambda Theta at 7:15 Wednesday evening in Fraser Hall. Attendance will be to present "Nellie Higgins, Sec." To the Kansan Editor: Why do we not have class meetings? If not from a business standpoint it could serve as a purpose for better acquaintance of classmates. Many students attend their classes for four years and are never really acquainted with any of their class, teaching, learning or school spirit, and it is school spirit which brings success to the University. The regular monthly meeting of the Cosmopolitan Club will be held Sunday afternoon, November 5, at the Cosmopolitan house, 1653 Inc., at 2:30. All members are requested to attend as there are important business matters to be settled—E. J. Sweeney, President. Sorab, honorary architectural fraternity, will hold its regular meeting tonight. Arthur Harris, e23, will talk on "Landscape Gardening." There is, of course, the old argument that no one will attend the meetings. If the class officers are all they claim to be, they could arrange some really interesting meeting programs, and those are taken care of so that the first meetings will be successful. These persons will be eager to go again, and they will tell their friends; and we all know it "tips to advertise." So as long as we have the class officers who are having some real genuine class meetings, and get acquainted with our fellow students? Snow Zoology Club will meet at 7:15 Wednesday evening in Room 304 Snow Hall, Prof. W. J. Baumgartner will speak. The Botany Club will have a social meeting from 7:30 to 8:30 Wednesday evening at the home of Prof. W, C. Stevens, 1121 Louisiana.
