Decision of Court Is Blow to Both Labor and Public
Amendment Giving States Power of Regulation Only Correction, Says Allen
That the decision of the supreme court takes away the imperial protection of the law, but still serves the state right to make strikes against ex-Governor Henry J. Allen yesterday in commenting on the court's contention that compulsory arbitration disputes must be unconstitutional.
Two cases were brought by the Charles Wolff Packing Company of Topka against the Kansas court of justice, founded by Mr. Allen. The United States supreme court, in rendering a decision, hold unconstitutional that part of the law which gave the county court authority to regulate wages.
Court An Anti-Strike Body
"The second decision on the Wolf case makes the court an antitrust institution. It is fortunate to labor because it establishes the right of the state to make striking a crime and takes away the laboring man's efforts to obtain regulation of wages by impartial decision.
"The purpose of its founder was to give public protection in converseies in essential industries. It was written around the principle of organized life which has prevailed from the beginning—encoded in the old Roman expression let the actio de the public to the supreme law, and form one preventing warfare on the public through strikes, the other rendering to labor the impartial protection of the law," said Mr. Allen.
Labor Left Free, Says Green
"It is a blow to the public which is interested in adjusting labor disputes," and thereby protecting workers against the waste and disaster of industrial warfare. The only correction, as I see it, is for the passage of laws that would enable the individual states the power to regulate wages and working conditions." Mr. Allen said.
President William Green, gv. to American Federation of Labor, recently expressed his opinion that the labor movement is "not in favor" Marina Chartsa. "Labor may now enter a new cradle of progress with this milestone behind it," he said. "The decision leaves labor 12 months as it should be to bargain for workers. That would completely destroy the effectiveness of the Kansas industrial court."

Student Attitude Key to Success, Believes Brandt
Swarthmore Honors Plan Rejected by Forum as Unsuited for University
The attitude with which a student goes about his work is the key to the success of any educational system, is the opinion of J. G. Brandt, dean of the college. For this reason he thinks that honors courses designed after the Swarthmore college plan may be appropriate at the University of Kansas in order to secure independent thinking on the part of the student.
Dean Brann expressed this viewpoint in speaking to the K. U. forum Wednesday afternoon on the practicability of adopting an honors plan for students, and he argued that for the honors degree are put on their own initiative during their last two school years, be excused from attending classes and examinations. He suggested that such an honors plan and suggested as the first practical steps, an attitude of searching for knowledge instead of "getting by" and a commitment to working among courses along lines that appealed to the individual student.
Swarthmore Plan Read
The forum meeting was opened by John P. Evans, gr, explaining the honors courses of the college at Swarthmore, Pa.
Dean Brantin in commenting on the Swarthmore plan said, "The plan is meant to enable the superior student to free himself from needless routine in order to develop his individual capacities to their fullest extent.
"The problem of selecting who are the superior students and the matter of budget are practical difficulties in the way of adopting a plan in a large school like the University of Kansas," said Dean Brandt.
Faculty Co-operation Advised
The dean laid emphasis on the attitude of the student toward his work rather than the form of the educational system. He said that in his classes, he would expect faculty would be willing to meet half way students who wanted to direct themselves more. He thought that instructors would be willing to excuse such students from much of the assigned work and study according to their interests.
Following the talks of Dean Brandt and Mr. Evans the meeting was opened for discussion and questions
Englund Speaks on Taxes
K. S. A. C. Professor Talks to Economic Students
"Anyone wishing to do missionary work in tax reduction should begin at home," said Professor Eric Langland Wednesday afternoon in his task to students of economics or "Trend of Real Estate Taxation." Professor England is connected with the department of agriculture and serves at K. S. A. C. and also with the experiment station at Manhattan.
New Site Chosen for "Pioneer"
Professor England presenti-
 charts showing that the ratio of real
 estate taxes to selling values from
 real estate is 25.6 percent on farm real estate and 72 per cent on real estate. Of this increase 88.2 per cent is used by the local government of farm district, 40.8 per cent is used by the government of city communities.
The amount of tax and rate of increase in city real estate is greater than in farm real estate. This is because a tax on improvements in a city will discourage them while having the opposite effect on farms. Also the capacity of the city owner is not measurable as is the farm owner.
