The Prevalence of the Single Tax
Elsewhere In today's issue will be
found a table showing some places
where the Single Tax has been tried,
how long it has been in use, and with
what success it has met. This table
does not indued all such places, but
is fairly" representative of the prev
alence of this system of school sup
port. From this table, and from othei
statistics too complicated to publish,
we may draw a few conclusions.
First, practically every denomina
tional school in the United States
large enough to have school activi
ties of importance has the Single
Tax in some form or other.
Second, practically every tuition
school having activities of any import
ance has this tax in some form or
other.
Third, in this table alone we find
between fifteen and twenty universi
ties supported by the state, and hav
ing activities of importance, using
this system.
The universal prevalence of a cus
tom does not necessarily mean that
it is right. But in this case, it will
go a long way to refute some of the
objections with which the movement
for the adoption of the tax has to
contend.
it is ureed that the Single Tax will
make the poor man pay for something
he cannot use; that it will make him
bear the burden of the rich man, who
has time to reap benefit from the
school activities.
If these things are true, is it to be
supposed that the denominational
schools all over the country. In the
control of . the clergy, would counte
nance such abuse? Is it to be sup
posed that the citizens of eighteen
or more states would permit an in
stitution of their making to do such
things? Are we to understand that
the people of "Wisconsin, especially
watchful of their school at Madison,
would permit their officials to rob the
tioor for the sake of the rich?
No. These people have acted with
their eyes open. They have not lost
their ideals of justice or their sense
of the fitness of things. They have
realized that the Single Tax is a great
benefit to the school. They recognize
The Student Should Know
THE PUBLICATION BOARD
The student publication board came
into power about the time The Dally
Nebraskan ended its career as a pri
vately owned publication, and was
taken over by the university. The
board was created by tho university
regents, and is governed by rules pro;
mulgated by the regents.
Under the rules as they now exist,
the board is made up of five faculty
and three student members. The fac
ulty members are nominated by the
university senate, and at present are
Dean Stout, chairman, Professors
Chase, Buck, Alexander and Ayls

ht It is a better apportionment of
the burden of support than the for
mer system the system that yet pre
vails at Nebraska.
Nebraska is competing with insti
tutions which have this system of com-
Dlete and equalized support. The op
portunity to adopt this plan is now
at hand. Are we going to advance,
or are we going to have our way im
peded by the allegation of imagined
rights, derived by a system of reason
ing both "a priori" and archaic?
