THE REAL ISSUE
MONDAY, MARCH 8.1920
Loyal students of the University of Kansas who believe in the abolition of Hill politics and its trail of graft across the campus have a hard fight on their hands between now and March 18. On that date, by the adoption or rejection of the new proposed men's constitution, the future status of Hill politics will be determined.
To borrow the terms of Kansas City citizens who are trying to get out from under their political machines it is to be an anti-boss campaign. The political bosses of the Hill already are getting ready to fight the adoption of this constitution.
If anyone whispers opposition to the adoption of the constitution during the next few days make him give a few good reasons for his stand. Don't be misinformed. The proposed constitution is the result of the sentiment which has been gradually forming in opposition to the methods of the cheap student grafter and his gang. It is not a piece of propaganda on the part of the "outs" to get "in" but an honest attempt to make the start towards a constructive government on Mount Oread.
A Soviet government has been formed in Portugal it is rumored. The rumor is an airproof one, as it elaborates by saying that the postal and telegraphic systems have pointed it, which accounts for any lack of information on the subject.
GAMBLING
The French government, taking advantage of the spirit of the times, has found a new way to pay back her war debt. She has established lotteries from which she expects to raise $12,000,000,000 in the next twenty years.
It would appear that the French people are tired of the conservatives financial plan by which the war was supported, by which they turned over their savings to the Government and received a few sous each year on each live France that they had loaded. They seem to prefer to take a chance on getting rich quickly, or the reverse.
The plan to be followed is of this nature: The lottery tickets are it cost $100 each, and there are to be twenty millions of them. Nominally they are loans to the Government, but since they run for twenty years without interest it is readily seen that the holder must either win in the lottery or lose all his money. For the interest on $100 for twenty years at five per cent is $11—even without compounding.
But the French in spite of their love of thrift, are eager for the new adventure. The professional gamblers
at Monte Carlo forse the ruin of
of their comparatively smaller stakes
by the government. However the
French hope that vast quantities of
the coupons will be bought by foreign-
ers, by rich Americans in Paris, so
that the inevitable private losses will
not all be borne in France.
In connection with this scheme it is of interest to know that our own American Congress started a national lottery in 1776. Also that several states have at various times built roads and schools on lottery revenue. The United States mails were not closed to the distribution of lottery literature until 1800.
Georges Carpentier, heavyweight boxing champion of Europe will be married to Mme. Georgette Elasser As some wise men have already said, Georges must be a bear for taking punishment.
BROOMS OR HATRACKS
The dust on the floors of the East Wing of Administration remains undisturbed throughout the ages. No evidence of broom or floor brush ever having been employed to stir the dust from its primal state. It remains resplendent in white upon the floor, in all it pristine glory.
Of course, the floor is not a fit place for a person to place his hat during recitation hours but through no fault of the student but possibly due to the absence of suitable hooks upon which to place one headwear the floor has come into vogue as a hat-rack.
We do not advocate the placing of hat-racks in the halls. Far be it from us to thus further tempt the invertebrate smatchers and overcrowd pickers who might take some poor Fresh's cap while said. Fresh was imbbling learning at the feet of the masters in Administration building.
What we do advocate, however, is a liberal and judicious use of all sweeping material at the command of the janitor or jantreat that is in command of the building. It is provoking to say the least to emerge from class and be forced to dust one's cap or hat in a futile attempt to make it presentable after it has spent a fraction of a second on the floor of our fireproof building. Cement may prevent fire but it also promotes the accumulation of a considerable white dust.

POUNDS STERLING AND PRICE
POUNDS STERLING AND PRICES
A sharp decline in export trade,
with an equally sharp decline in
domestic prices, is foreseen by financial
authorities as inevitable in the near
future.
One reason for these conclusions is the attitude of the British government in attempting to restore the value of pound sterling. Their intended action is to cut down the importation of some of the less essential articles, thereby bringing about a more normal relation between imports and exports.
This new attitude of the British government with respect to the sterling situation, standing in such marked contrast with its former laissez faire policy, and the government's apparent intention of preventing a further decline, may and probably will result in a gradual but certain decrease in the export of certain American lines. Such action by Great Britain and by other countries similarly will result in a further fall in dollar exchange in Europe. With the dollar at a premium abroad and European currency at a tremendous discount in New York, the cost of American goods in European countries becomes prohibitive. Settlements on the enormous trade balance held by America—84,000,000,000 in 1919—are becoming difficult.
Authorities in the United States agree that shortage in production and a supply of goods that will not meet demands have been the chief factors in boosting prices. Decline in exports beans a turning back for domestic consumption.
The Harvard committee on economic research, appointed by aHvard University to make special studies of economic conditions, has just announced that the United States may expect a check in the upward movement of prices and of business activity which has been in progress since last April. A drop in prices is even very probable, but no vieno recession is expected.
