Speaking of appropriations for what we are about to receive, may the Lord make us truly thankful.
Everybody is glad that the long weeks of discussion and worry over the appropriations for the University are drawing to a close. The indications are that the University will fare badly this year. The proposed appropriations do not allow for the probable growth of the University. The next two years will be a sort of breathing spell, a marking time, while the institutions in other states are forging ahead at the normal rate.
It is reported from Topeka that Senator Brady's bill repealing the law which exempts fraternities from taxation was killed in committee. No demonstration was made over the demise of the bill. It died a very quiet death. The fraternity men of the University were confident from the first that they had sufficient influence in the Legislature to do away with the bill in this way. It will be remembered that some of the fraternities have gone on paying taxes after the law exempting them went into effect. It may also be remembered that The Kansan a short time ago remarked approvingly upon the public spirit of those fraternity men who voluntarily assumed the obligations which are laid upon other property owners by law. "The Kansan was wrong in that talk about public spirit," said one fraternity member after the editorial had appeared. "The only reason why the frats paid taxes was because they didn't know there was a law exempting them." "The result of the killing of Senator Brady's bill in
committee," said another fraternity man yesterday, "will be that two or three hundred dollars less taxes will be paid in this county next year." He stated the matter from his own point of view but the statement is somewhat erroneous. The amount of taxes levied will not be lessened. A better way to state the case is that the non-privileged taxpayers will have to pay two or three hundred dollars more taxes next year in this county.
Discrimination.
"What do you charge for rooms?"
"Five dollars up."
"But I'm a student—"
"Then it's five dollars down."
—Boston Transcript.
The Big Fight Is On.
It seems to be up to Mr. Don Carlos and Mr. Newlin as the representatives from Douglas county to push through the appropriations for the University. The great Kansas school has been growing rapidly and its friends had hoped that the day of petty bickering to get the support necessary to maintain it had passed It is true that there have been many fights, but so far, the school has never failed to get what it needed. It may make a hard fight for the Douglas county members, but certain it is that they will do their best.—Lawrence Journal-World.

Professor Wm. E. Schultz and R. S. Forsythe, of the English department, will begin next week to take the census of the students to find out the number enrolled in the English department.

A recent bulletin of Oberlin College shows that twenty-six young women support themselves entirely in college and fifty-four in part. Thirty-six are using money that they earned before coming to college, and of the eighty classed as self-supporting, forty teach school, eleven do office work, fourteen do housework, seven are nurse maids, eleven tutor in the college, one a companion, one a music teacher, and one sells curios.
Prof. Roy Moodie, of the department of paleontology, received Tuesday a grant of $200 from the Elizabeth Thompson Science Fund, to be used in connection fith his work on extinct amphibia in America. This fund was established by Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, a wealthy woman of Boston, for the purpose of advancing special research work along worthy scientific lines. A committee of trustees, of which Dr. Charles Minot, of Harvard is the chairman, distributes the interest on the money left, each year to worthy applicants and Professor Moodie received the money this year with which to carry on his work. The results of his investigations will aid in the publication of a work on the Carboniferous Amphibia of North America.
