UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN MEET IN TOPEKA FOR INCOME BILL Students and Alumni Gather at End of Campaign for Important Issue CONVENTION SEEMS SURE Chance for Permanent Income as Part of New State Constitution The meeting of alumni and student representatives of state educational institutions in Topeka, Saturday, will probably be the largest and most successful gathering of its kind ever attempted by students of state schools. It will mark the culmination of the largest campaign ever attempted to make the Permanent Income Bill a law in Kansas. Representatives from the Emporia Normal school and the Kansas State Agricultural College will be there. Willard Glacier, president of the County Club Union at K. U., and Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism, will represent the University of Kansas at this meeting. DELAY CONVENTION ACTION The resolution for a constitutional convention on drew first blood this week when it passed by the unanimous vote of the committee on the resolutions, with the recommendation that they print matter on the constitutional convention for public distribution. Resolutions for removing from the present constitution the clause which prevents more than one amendment being submitted at the same time to the people for their approval. The following committee has been appointed on educational institutions: Saiha Salina, Neishender, of Shaheen Edward; Reno; Melvor, of Sheridan; Taylor, of Ford; Marshall, of Lincoln; Charles, of Republic. GOOD CHANCE FOR BILL If the present legislature maintains the same attitude towards the constitutional convention, the calling of such a convention seems almost certain. It is the opinion of the majority of advocates of the Income Bill that it will have a better chance of becoming a law by being made a part of the new constitution. Great interest is being shown in the Permanent Covenant with respect to the speaker of the present house of representatives has written to Mr. Glascio asking him for further information in regard to the bill.
