WILL HELP EDITORS BUY OR SELL PAPERS
Department of Journalism To Estab
Department of Journalism To Establish Clearing House of Information on Kansas Newspapers.
Requests come to the department every week from persons wishing to buy or sell newspaper properties. No editor cares to advertise the fact that his paper is for sale. His chance of finding a buyer is limited to the circle of his immediate friends. The department of journalism is in position to act as a clearing house for business information of this sort, protecting the editor who wishes to sell, while at the same time giving him the benefit of its facilities for knowing of prospective buyers both within the state and in other parts of the country.
To act as the confidential agent of Kansas editors in disposing of newspaper properties or in making "buys" in the newspaper field is a newly announced purpose of the department of journalism in the University of Kansas.
The plan of the department is to keep in its private files all the information furnished to it by owners of newspaper plants that are for sale. When a possible purchaser's name is received it will be sent to the owners of such papers on the list as would be likely to interest him. The editor can then take the matter up directly with the prospective purchaser.

Students Start Campaign For Constitutional Amendment to Provide Permanent Income.

Kueffel & Esser Drawing Instruments and DRAWING SUPPLIES
As being a matter of serious import to their University the Men's Student Council in the University of Kansas has entered a campaign for a constitutional amendment providing a permanent income for higher educational institutions in the state. In eleven states a fixed tax is levied for such purposes, and the K. U. students will exert all their influence to have Kansas put on an equal plane.
Drawing Instruments
The students and graduates of the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools are counted on to join in advocating the amendment.

The arguments advanced by the students in favor of the mill tax include the following:
THE MILL TAK WOULD BENEFIT THE UNI-
ERITY.
It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of University administration. Under the present system, the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912—almost three years ahead. If a permanent budget would be needed for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, order or injury to some series injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage or permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary work to which their devotion and duty to their institutions obligates them.
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
It would put the maintenance of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools on a permanent basis, removing them from the danger of having their revenues curtailed by caprice or financial depress- and enabling the government to pursue a definite business-like policy.
It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $2700 in permanent income (interest in its land fund),—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer, but in a much less degree.
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man pay more for the cost of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, adds not one but many to the
value of each thousand dollars worth
of property that he possesses?
IT WOULE BE A RELIEF TO THE LEGISLA
It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden of the entire educational budget of the state. It would also relieve him from the well-paid times over-zelous importantities of the advocates of the various institutions.
TURE.
It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
IT WOULD BENEFIT THE STATE.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would reduce the cost of government among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.
It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on a stable and calculable income always means economy.
It would be to the advantage of the

HOW THE MILL TAX MAY BE SECURED
The income of the University and other educational institutions can be maintained only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote of the people at the following general election. Then appear on the ballot as a propose amendment to the state constitution.
--taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value for their money, since only with a fixed and permanent interest can one chance to vote on this measure of such vital importance to the educational interests of the state.
The first step, then, is to prevail on
