MUCH IS EXPECTED
President Harding and his new Congress go to bat under condition that should enable them to deal effectively with many of the serious problems that now need legislative attention, instead of wasting time and effort in political scraps that characterized the last session. President Harding does not have the handicap that burdened President Wilson, for the executive and legislative branches of the national government are now of the same political complexion. Neither, apparently, is in a mood to block the policies of the other. Every thing should run along smoothly.
This fact is of considerable importance considering the big things that are waiting to be acted upon. It is not improbable that one of the first steps of the new government will be to declare a status of peace between the United States and Germany, entirely skirting the Versailles treaty and the League covenant which is so inseparably interwoven with it. It is one of the big flaws in our government system that public opinion cannot be acted upon except after months of useless delay and argument. It is no doubt a plausible theory that enables the executive to act as a check upon the legislative, and vice versa. But the theory isn't a practical one when it has kept us technically at war for a year and a half after a cessation o hostilities.
There is much agitation for tariff and taxation reform. There is universal complaint against the present heavy taxation system, and many allege that it is tending to paralyze business. After the prolonged era of profiteering, however, there are a number of businesses that could stand a bad stroke of paralysis and yet come up smiling. It is not easy to put a finger on a solution of the taxation problem, but a system should by all means be worked out which will prevent the annihilation of worthy business enterprises Otherwise, its simply a case of killing the goose who laid the golden egg.
It is up to the new Congress to get busy. Swabbing should be temporarily relegated to the list of lessor Congressional indoor pastimes, and momentous questions only should be given consideration
WHERE HONOR IS DUE
The orchestra at the Adolph Holm Russian ballet performance the other night finished playing a selection, after which there was prolonged applause. The applause was taken up by the leader of the orchestra himself, who turned and pointed towards a man in the audience. The man stood up, and graciously bowed to his admirers.
He was Prof. Charles S. Skilton, a member of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts and author of the selection the orchestra had just played. Profes
our Sikilton is one of a number of those connected with the University whose genius is widely recognized. He is doing much towards winning a favorable name for K U. over the entire country—a name that will be lasting, because it is based upon true accomplishment. To him the University owes much.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
A baseball player or a motion picture actress or a harping politician may receive more pulity than men of Professor Skilton's type. But genious not to be recompensed with more publicity. Its compensation lies in the satisfaction of accomplishment—accomplishment that is worthy, and which is based upon high ideals.
The applause when Professor Skilton receives means far more than a place in the headlines, because back of the applause lies sincerity.

Many universities are featuring ing as a sport. At Nebraska this inter-fraternity sport is at its height. Eight teams have been entered in a tourney and the pin-maualer are working hard for the championship.
On Other Hills
Intramural baseball at Ohio State includes seven league of eight teams each. A Boarding Club League with six entries has also been formed.
Student fees at the University of Nebraska are to be reduced, which will enable the student to save five dollars a semester. This puts them back to the amount exacted before the raise. This applies to all fees excepting laboratory fees which may fluctuate with the cost of material.
