A Closer Examination of Mr. Hare's
Argument
In yesterday's issue we attempted
to show that while Mr. Hare's argu
ment might be true in theory, it would
not apply to this specific incident. To
day let us examine the argument a
little closer.
In the first place, he Intimates that
this subject has been good space filler
lor every weary editor for years past,
and has heretofore brought no re
sults. We believe the facts will bear
out the statement that only once in
1912 has the topic been seriously con
sidered. At that time the discussion
was begun the last week in May, too
late to get any results that school
year. It may have been mentioned
at other times, but with no organized
attempt to secure its adoption.
Again, he denies the right of the
state institution to decide what his
amusements shall be, and assess him
lor them. The instance of a branch
of the government assessing an indi
vidual for his recreations is not new.
The city assesses a tax for public
parks. Yet the activities that will be
supported by the Single Tax are a
more necessary part of the life of the
student than parks are of the life of
the citizen. While it may be true that
no comparison lies between a state
university and a municipal corporation,
the analogy lies between the govern
ment of a city by citizens and that of
a student public by students. The
students may be violating a theory in
so organizing, but when there is no
one to complain as was shown yes
terday the mere violation of the
theory 6hould not prevent the adop
tion of the measure.
The fact that no one is being rob
bed of a constitutional right is fur
ther evidenced by the wide prevalence
ofthe Single Tax elsewhere. It has
been adopted in nearly all the state
universities of the country exact
figures to appear later and has been
highly successful. No one has there
complained of the fact that they are
being forced to "support that which is
recreation and play, and having little
or no educational value."
No, the present campaign is not or
ganized to fill our colunms. The Single
Tax will be adopted this time, if the
bona fide efforts of hundreds of loyal
Nebraskans will be of -any conse
quence with the authorities.
The American Club
It is often said that there are too
many organizations in school. Be this
as It may, there Is one part of our
6chool lives that is under-organized.
That part is the field of politics and
citizenship.
A state maintains a university pri
marily to produce good citizens. It
'can have no other direct Interest In
education. Yet, If the average grad
uate were examined along these lines,
the results would be very disappoint
ing. The average person leaves the
university believing that politics is a
game In which the players are insin
cere and even dishonest. He thinks
that the man who Is Interested In
public affairs Is either seeking some
office for his own personal aggran
dizement, or has not e:oue'i business
of his own to keep him busy. He
haa not regard the public office as a
public trust, but only as a prize for
the most energetic office-seeker. The
resistance to enlightenment on this
subject Is perhaps tho greatest that
is found inany branch of knowledge.
This is the reason we believe that
the field is not sufficiently organised.
We welcome, therefore, the organi
zation of the American club. Its task
is a serious one. It must promote
discussion of some of the perplexing
problems now before congress and the
president, without becoming partisan.
It must train for voting, thus doing a
greater service than is rendered by
the ordinary academic debating so
ciety. In the face of human narrow
ness and distrust, it must keep pure
the patriotic ideal.
No true American can fail to enlist
in this cause.
FORUM
To the Editor of The Daily Nebras
kan: "But let's not 'Jangle anymore."
As I see it, the Single Tax is the
best possible means to divert the at
tention of the entire student body
from a narrowing field of recreations
to a broadening field of recreation, ex
perience and usefulness.
The Single Tax may have a few ob
jections, or at least it may be ob
jected to, as are all movements for
improvements. The student body
wants the best. The university stands
for the best in every phase of its ac
tivities. Let's have it.
