The Daily Kannon aims to picture the students of the University to go further than merely print Kanas; to go further than merely print the University bodies; to play no factions; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the University by its ability the students of the University. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1914 CONCERNING THE MILL TAX The mill tax, if it carries, will take the form of an amendment to the constitution of Kansas, stating that a certain per cent of the taxable property of the state shall go to the support of its higher educational institutions. These are the University, the Agricultural College, and the state normal schools. The object of the tax is to do away with the dependence of these institutions upon the state legislature for its appropriation every two years, and instead to furnish a permanent income that will enable the Board of Administration and the faculty, to plan ahead with some surety that their plans will be carried out. The unfinished Administration Building is only one instance of where, under the present system, these plans could not be fulfilled. This would not hinder the legislature from making additional appropriations for buildings, or for other support. In case the assessed valuation of the state is $2,800,000,000, and a tax of one mill is laid upon each dollar, the permanent income of the educational institutions would be $2,800,000 a year. This would materially lessen the appropriation needed from the legislature. Although the tax is called a mill tax, it is only approximately that amount, and may be more, or less. If the assessed valuation of the state increases, so will the income, and vice versa. INACCURACY The head of the history department told a class the other day, after lamenting for some minutes on the inaccuracies in the Daily Kansas, that aspiring journalists should study history. Doubtless a study of history, or economics, or any of the natural sciences, would be beneficial. But we've noticed that even historians, matured and scholarly, sometimes slip in the matter of accuracy, and in books over which historians have labored for years—not hours, as in the case of a newspaperman—there are errors as absurd, as careless, as the substitution of "West" for "Wheeler" by a sophomore in speaking of the president of a university three thousand miles away. Prof. William Milligan Sloane, a historian of note, who was Roosevelt's exchange professor at Berlin, has just-brought out a book "Party Government in the United States" Though a prominent history professor and dealing with his own subject, Professor Sloane, in this book, has the Convention of 1787 meeting May 5th, whereas it met May 14th; he has the first Congress proposing only ten amendments whereas it proposed twelve; and the dates he gives of the ratification of various states are wrong, and quite different from those he presents in a table on page 408. But we are far from saying that. Professor Sloane writes only for publication without regard for the facts The Site of Waterloo Forbear! This plain is still too deaf with pain. Shall Earth where reeled The Guard the villa pen. Where nations groaned be heard the onlooking hen? A mansion mark where in the gather- ing mark. This soil too sanguine for thy stuco lies. Those terrible horsemans do did work. Here wilt thou dare to live, where wouldst thou live? By Stephen Phillips And on that memorable dust reside! Here only ever let the solemn moon swish its breath. Here only falter down a pensive dew from skies too wistful to be purely But shouldst thou build on consecrated ground. Then be those houses filled with spectral sound Of clasing battle and the ghostly ... Of charging hosts against the batten door. Let solemn bellow of hollow cannon boom. A dreadful cavalry invade the gloom! Until in awe of those who fell or fell. The living flee from the more living dead! Then let no builder of this field have lease, That silence now too conscious is for sound. It broods upon itself and is self- bound. 'Tis let to Time, the property of Peace!

FOUND IT "Wheaton's Jayhawkers on hunt for Nebraska meat."—News note of last week. Notice by the score card that Rutherford, of Nebraska, has another year on the football team andombitalia has come close down this Missouri Valley Conference business for about three years. Last year at about this time you may remember that the editor wrote a scathing denunciation of students who bum their way on football specials. The absence of any such editorial this year is explained by the fact that the present editor paid his way. NO RACE SUICIDE THERE "NO RACE 'SUICIDE' THERE Anyone but the conductor in charge of the band, you know. You that, as regards number of occupants, the berth rate is surprisingly high. We have no fault to find with a man who beats his way on a student special, but the one who, having got away with that, seeks a refund on the ticket previously purchased, approximates our idea of impudent transgression of the bounds of deorum.

The only Nebraskan weakness we noted was the fact that before the game they placed three touchdowns as the limit of their victory. HELP!

If you want to experience that "Good night, nurse," sensation, join the advertising class. Just under the haymow ladder which leads to the roof of the south tower of Fraser is the recitation room. It is a mighty fine room, too; good ventilation and fine view, but it is like charging a German siege gun to have to climb five stories and do the last flight of stairs with no rail at the side. Apparently there are several hundred people at the University that think that because we were so badly beaten at Nebraska that we have no chance at all with the coming Tigers. The fact that more people got off of us on Sunday morning were there to meet it is sufficient proof of this. WHY NOT? Of course, most students of advertising are old enough to know better than accidentally to step off the edge and fall about 90 feet, and most of them are very particular to walk carefully. Still, if the University could afford to put a $2.50 railing around that last flight, there would be fewer cases of heart failure and the high cost of insurance might be affected. Last Friday there was no rally before the game end it was the biggest game on our schedule. Whose fault is it? We are told that the president of the Student Council the president of the Student Council that we had better not have a rally "Safety First." "Armaments have broken the back of the laborer; and with the fall of the laborer all things fall, all things come to earth. Because of the war lords, and only because of the war lords, the man of science is paralyzed and civilization stops. Humanity has been fooled." Now, why don't we get out two or three nights this week before the game and make the hours from 10 to 12 hidesous for the "conservatives" who are away last Friday with an indifferent "fare you well and wish you well." There were not more than ten members of the faculty at the Nebraska game, so they must be the conservatives. Come on fellows. Let's wake 'em up two or three nights. Browsing Around Spooner SMITH WANTS A RALLY Military—If this European war isn't over soon, the several contestants may possibly have to be called the "cripple alliance" or the "cripple entente," instead of the "Triple" as formerly.—Chicago American. Too late to discover it, European civilization is being broken by war lords and great armaments. A writer in the London Chronicle understands where the Russian peasant was living when he did not see what will become of the many starving factory hands of the other nations. "Russia calls a million sixteenth-century peasants from the fields, and Germany mows them down," says the Chronicle. "Another million take their places. Death again. Another century takes its place. Another these sixteenth-century peasants. And when it is all over, those who are left will go back to their fields." A new excuse for the poor showing of his football team is advanced by the Athletic Director of Northwestern University. He told the women of the University that because they were inviting the football men to go walking along the lake shore when they should be at practise, they were to blame for the loss of so many games. Father—"Son, can't you possibly cut down your college expenses?" Son—"I might possibly do without any books." —Ex. "But Germany, France, England, particularly England and Germany—where will they turn when the million dead are shovelled under bloody soil? My father may still be standing; but where will credit be found? And what will the millions of starving factory hands be doing? Happy the Russian peasant who will go back to his sixteenth century and his field, telling the time to his friends in the industry in Europe, with other things of older late, will lie in ruins.
