VOLUME XIV.
PERMANENT INCOME MEASURE IS DOUBTFUL
House Killed Measure as Amend ment to Other Bills Considered Yesterday
LAST CHANCE FOR BILL
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 27, 1917.
Legislature Will Not Have Time to Bring t Up Again This Session
The Permanent Income Bill will be brought up for discussion in the Senate late this afternoon. Dispatches from Toppea at noon indicated the state legislature would consider the bill, which would consider the bills with other tax measures today.
NO. 102.
The Permanent Income Bill was finally killed in the house yesterday when it was voted out of both the Tax Bill and the Budget Measure.
The Income Bill was a plan of taxation that would make it unnecessary for the legislature to spend its time and energies every time it meets in making out a budget for the state educational institutions. Instead of appropriating a lump sum for this purpose it would be provided for a levy on all the taxable property of the state.
DROPPED FROM BUDGET BILL.
NEXT BILL The Mill Tax which was directly killed last week by the lower branch of the state legislature, was revived again yesterday in that branch when it was proposed as a provision of the Executive Budget Bill. It met with so much opposition here that it was without being made a part of the bill.
AUTHOR HAD TO WITHDRAW IT
A little later it was brought up again by Senator Robert Stone, of Topeka, who resurrected the tax amendment to the constitution which was killed by the house last week. This measure known as the three-in-one amendment, was brought up on a special order, and if finally adopted would have allowed the state to enforce its own construction. It would have provided for the classification of property for taxation and made possible the adoption of the Mill Tax for the support of state educational institutions.
Stone himself, however, eliminated the Mill Tax Amendment. It had met with vigorous opposition in the house a few minutes before, when it was presented as a provision of the amendment providing for an executive budget system.
Twenty New Members Named Today by K. U. Honor Fraternity
ELECT NEW PHI BETA KAPPAS
"In view of the expressed attitude of the house toward the Mill Tax, I see no use of taking up the time of the government to authorize the author of the bill. "But I am strongly interested in getting the tax amendment before the people at the next election. I am interested in the highway管理局 but would not insist on point."
The house did not allow him to insist on the highway amendment, and the tax amendment was recommended. The proposed highway and Mill Tax amendments.

WAR HAS TRANSFORMED ENGLISH STATE SYSTEM
S. K. Ratcliffe, London Editor Tells of Social and Economic Changes In England
\DOPTED GERMAN SYSTEM
Present Military Rule In Britain Similar to Germanic Absolutism
"England has been completely transformed since the beginning of the war," S. K. Ratcliffe, editor of the London Sociological Review, said in his lecture in Fraser chapel yesterday afternoon. England and the United States were alike in that they were individualists and were little conscious of a compulsive state, centrifuged to the national welfare. Now England has changed completely to the state system of the continent, countries.
"England has realized that she must enter into the struggle with all her energies. The conditions are not those of the Napoleonic wars. To do this effectively, voluntary military service had to be abandoned for_commerce." In a man of military age, nineteen to forty-one, can secure exemption."
UNIONS SUPPORT MOVE
Compulsory national service in munition workshops was started under the coalition government of Lord Asquith with Lloyd-George as minister of munitions. This department had been a major employer and extended the industrial area of England. A director-general has been appointed to organize national service in other industries. All men and women between the ages of sixteen and 40 are required to work. This movement has the support of the British trades unions.
The entrance of women into the field of skilled labor has created a grave social problem. The fact that they are proving more efficient than men is not possible to deny their applications for full citizenship, Mr. Ratelife believes.
The government has control of the entire food supply in England and the sources outside, and of the metal, leather, wood, and mining industries. It will be possible for it to assume even greater authority, and this with the enthusiastic approval of the English people.
CABINET CHANGE WAS WELCOME
"Lloyd-George has scrapped the English constitution," Mr. Ratliffe said in his keen analysis of the present political situation. "His war cabinet of five is divorced from the control of parliament and from that of public opinion. He, who was the most radical politician in England, now is head of a cabinet the other members of which are conservatives whom he represents himself in the earlier years of his career. England is watching his experiment with the keenest interest and is giving him unqualified support. There has been a feeling that the old cabinet system needed reform."
In answer to the criticism that England had adopted the German system of absolute government control to defeat Germany, Mr. Ratcliffe said that the changed conditions of war times were a preparation for the development of a new democracy after the war.

Entry Blanks for Tenth Annual Classic Sent Over Kansas Today
USE SAME PLAYING RULES
Women Only Admitted to Girls' Games—Trophies for Winners and Runners-up
The tenth annual Interscholastic basketball Tournament, open to all Kansas high schools, will be held in Robinson Gymnastics Friday and Saturday, March 16 and 17. The Annual Conference of High School Superintendents and Principals will be held at the University at the same time.
Fifty-four high schools, or one-seventh of the high schools in the state, were entered in the tournament last year, and Coach W. O. Hamilton and Coach Hazel Pratt predict a victory this year. Entry blanks for the tournament this year were sent to every high school in the state this morning.
USE SAME RULES
The games this year will be played under the same plans as the eighth and ninth annual tournaments. All preliminary games, up to the semifinals, will consist of two 10-minute halves without intermission in the boys' games, and a 3-minute intermission in the girls' games. The semi-finals have two 15-minute halves with a 5-minute intermission while the final games will be of the regulation 20-minute halves with 10-minute intermissions.
This change was made necessary because the tournament has grown so large that the winning team had to play five games in two days, and this was thought to be too great a strain on both boys and girls with so great a playing time. The boy's games will be played under the official basketball rules for women.
NO MEN ADMITTED
The girls' tournament will be a separate tournament and will probably be played with women officials, and with spectators restricted to women. Each girls' team must be accompanied by a woman chaperon, approved by the parents and by the principal of the school. All girls, while in Lawrence, are encouraged to add the values of the Women's Student Government Association.
Manager Hamilton said that each manager should notify him by March 10th, of the time his team will arrive in Lawrences, over what road, and if possible the number of the train, so they can meet him. He will meet all visitors and direct them to their rooms. Arrangements will be made in advance for rooms and meals.
A large silver loving cup, appropriately engraved, will be awarded to each of the winning teams in the boys' and girls' championship. A cup will also be awarded to the runners-up. Newton won the boys' championship last year, while Rosedale won the girls' championship.
CUPS TO WINNERS
The smallpox scare is apparently over and there is no further danger that the disease will spread on the Hill. Forty students have been vaccinated at the Student Hospital since the first case was reported. No new signs of the disease have appeared in the University and hospital attendants think that there is no more 'likelihood that smallpox will spread.
The boys' teams entered in the tournament last year were: Argentine, Arkansas City, Atchison, Baldwin, Bonner Springs, Burlington, Chapman, Ell. worth, Eudora, Fowler, Greeley, Holton, Iola, Kansas City, Kan, Larned, Lawrence, Leavenau, Lymond, Mackaville, Morrison, Murray, Newton, Oread, Osage City, Parsons, Quenceno, Randal, Rosedale, Seneca, Spearville, Syllan Grove, Viola, Washington, and Winfield.
The girls' teams entered in the tournament were: Argentine, Arkansas City, Atchison, Baldwin, Bellevue, Bonner Springs, Burlingame, Burlington, Elmore, Holton, Leavenport, Lyndon, Melton, Merriam, Parsons, Rosdeale, Sabetha, Sterling, and Waterville.

DISTRIBUTORS OF "WHY ENLIST" CARDS WANTED
Cards Bearing Peaceful Motto Must Be Explained Say Army Officers
APPEARED ON THE CAMPUS
Government Charge Probably Will Be Made Against Propagandists
The local recruiting officer, Seargent Thayer, is working on the case and has a secret service man has been summoned to assist in the investigation.
Small printed cards asking, "Why be a soldier? You have nothing to gain and your life to lose," were scattered over the campus and the town district last week. An investigation immediately started by local army officer of the person responsible for the literature nothing has been found.
GOVERNMENT PROSECUTION PROBABLE
When asked this morning what state university authorities will take in the case of Officer Frank Strong said he was not involved any such literature on the campus but that the authorities would not sanction its distribution. "Even if individuals desire to express such opinion, I said Doctor Strong, 'it cannot be done on the University campus.'"
Captain F. E. Jones of Company M said the printing and distribution of such literature probably will result in a government charge against the person who distributed the cards, if his identity is discovered.
SIMILAR INCIDENT IN KANSAS CITY
A similar incident has arisen in KANSAS City where Miss Leonora Warneson has been suspended, temporarily, from the teaching staff of the city schools and writing anti-enlistment paragraphs on the blackboard in her school room, the sentiment expressed in Miss Warneson mottoes was similar to that expressed in the literature scattered over the campus last week. It is said Miss Warneson was in Lawrence last Sunday, but local army officials can find no connection with Miss Warneson and the distribution of the anti-enlistment literature.
