THE SINGLE TAX.
Twenty-four students out of twenty-seven
approach-ad by a reporter of
the Daily Nebraskan are against the
single tax proposal of the student
council that will probably be sub
mitted to a referendum of the stu
dents in the near future.
The twenty-seven that wer-3 ques
tioned are very representative,
and so their opinions on this ques
tion are not to be taken lightly. Some
of these objectors thought that the
plan as proposed would woik a fi
nancial hardship on a large number.
Others thought that the complica
tions of the machinery of the plan
would thwart its purpose and that
it wonld be enmeshed in its own red
. tape.
Others seemed to think that the
tax would necessarily be higher
than the average amount spent on
the things that the plan covers, and
that everyone is not interested in
all of the activities that tha single
tax would include.
The single tax plan as proposed
by the student council would be op
tional with every student, unless it
was adopted by the Board of Re
gents. That is a very fair proposal.
Surely no one can object to a pro
posal that will not affect him unless
he so wills it.
The fact that the plan is in effect
at a large number of schools would
tend to prove that it must have some
merit. Of course, whether or not
conditions at the University of Ne
braska are such that this plan would
improve the present system of doing
things, is the question that is to be
decided.
The community chest idea which
has spread over the country in the
last few years deals with the lump
ing of charities in order to save
money for the individual and also
to insure proper expenditure of
these funds, and to guarantee sup
port to all charities of worthy ob
jective and purpose.
The single tax idea advocates the
grouping of all sums spent for Uni
versity activities, thereby saving
time for organizations and students,
and also preventing the numerous
drives that interrupt the regular or
der of things at the beginning of
every year.
Perhaps the single tax would not
solve this problem. Perhaps the
plan would be unworkable at Ne
braska. At least it merits the
thought and consideration of every
student.
HIGH, LOW, TAX AND THE "GAM"E.'.'
According to a Daily Nebraskan editorial, a single tax fee "covers
entrance to all athletic contests, dramatic productions, debates, mixers,
convocations, University Night, Ivy Day, and pays for The Daily Nebraskan
subscription and. medical supervision throughout the year." If they would
only add two "dates," six pairs of socks, and a ham sandwich, the bargain
would be irresistable.
We hope that local merchants do not take up the idea. It would
be a bit disconcerting to go into a store to buy a collar-button and learn
that in order to get it you would have to purchase two malted milks, a
package of cigarettes, a pair of ear-muffs, two theater tickets and a pint
of gasoline.
Then if the idea spreads it is not unlikely that by next year when you
call to take "your girl" to a show you will also have to take her sister, two
cousins, the chauffeur, and the boy who delivers their newspaper.
And then when it's time to say good night we give up.
Taxes, taxes everywhere but "they" never stop to think.
A FOIBLE OF A STUDENT WHO BECAME A POPULAR AUTHOR.
Hi Soakum stopped work abruptly and laid down his pitchfork he
had the Answer. The Course of his Existence had become Dammed by its
Narrowness. Now the Great Inspiration furnished a means of carrying the
Overflow to Broader Channels.
Hi (Hiram for short) was going to the University in the Big City.
There he would be able to live a Well-balanced life, to Expand, and be
come a Liberal Thinker. The Possibilities of it all sent a slight shiver
through his Husky Physique.
The University greeted him with Out-stretched Palms. As soon as
his Checks and Credentials had been given the O. K., the Machinery of Edu
cation began to grind for him.
In his first year he learned many Things. He became acquainted with
the fact that Gold-diggers did not carry cards in the Miners' Union; also
that Tuxedos and Plowshoes were not Brothers even under the skin. Hi,
being versatile, threw away the shoes.
The second year was a High-powered Repetition of the first. He be
came a Well-known Student and many spoke familiarly of him as "Good
Old Hi Soakum," or hailed him on the campus, "Hello Soak."
In his second year he had Played at Love but it was not until the third
Autumn that the Great Guess got a Head-lock on his Heart. As usual,
she wna the Onlv One. Hi devoted so much Time and Attention to Her that
his University Score-sheet became an Eye-sore to the Bosses and they put
... . a . m 1 1 3
a Ban on his Presence. Then, as it to prove mat irouDie is married ana
has a flock of Offsprings, his Heart's Desire gave him the Air forever
and a day.
Hi ws mushed into the Slouch of Despond, so at the age of twenty-two
he wrote a Cynical Book on "Love and University Life," and was acclaimed
a Leading Thinker of the Nation.

THE RECENT APPOINTMENTS.
(Michifaa Daily)
The reputation of a great univer
sity lives or dies on the scholarly at
tainments of the members of its
faculty. Oxford, Cambridge, Vien
na, Berlin, Harvard, Yal and others
of the older institutions of learning
of the world first rose to prominence
because of the contributions of its
men of learning. Such universities
may indeed be said to be responsible
for the broadened scope of ur vision
in modern times.
With characteristic complaceny
of the mid-west, we of Michigan as
sume that the fame of ow University
has spread to the four comers of
the earth, that her athletic prowess
alone serves to raise her standard
high in the councils of institutions of
higher learning. Student fail to
comprehend thai except on the North
American continent few people real'
ize tha such an institution exists
except as it is made known by the
contributions of our professors to
the fitid c knowledge. And yet it
recognition they can give to such
attainment the title of professor.
It is a platitude of long standing
that the more common a title be
comes the less it nvaans, and the less
it is to be desired. This is well il
lustrated by a consideration of the
present standing of multitudinous
knights of England. If the present
trend continues the same principle
will be exemplified in this University
in pursuit of the inconsistent policy
of wholesale appointments to full
and associate professorships. No
doubt in many cases appointments
made are warranted at least on the
basis of service to the University,
but some of the names included in
the recent list approved by the
Board of Regents do not represent to
the world at large scholarly contrib
ution worthy of consideration.
One of the most prominent east
ern universities bases appointment
to full professorship on three con
siderations: scholarly contribueion,
teaching ability, and personality, a
reasonable coordination of the three
being essential. Such a policy if
adopted by University authorities
would forestal any criticism of
favorism and petty politics such as
are being circulated at the present
time. It is only natural that those
to whom their titl-3 of professor
means a great deal should hate to
have it become into the possession
of some who are obviously unworthy
of it
The most common excuse ad
vanced for such promotions is that
it is impossible to give a high salary
to anyone but a professor and that
when increase in financial remunar-
ation becomes necessary this is the
only way of solving the difficulty. In
such an argument may be found the
foundation of the principle criticism
of modern American universities
their commercialistic ' viewpoint. If
University authorities wish to acquire
for Michigan the title of an insti
tution of higher learning, they must
use discrimination in the conferring
what little recognition of true worth
to the University they have in their
power.

The Best Business Career
is what every ambitious college student ad senior is
thinking about at the present time. Life insurance is
one of the best; one of the most desirable, and one of
the most satisfactory as a permanent calling.
In assets and volume of business, life insurance is one
of the three leading businesses of this country, yet the
field fs comparatively undeveloped. Only seven per
cent of the economic value of all lives in United
States is covered by insurance. This gives you an idea
of the big field still to be developed.
As to REMUNERATION, reports of college graduates
who have entered business indicate that life insurance
is at the VERY TOP as a SOURCE OF INCOME. Now
is the time to consider what you are going to do at
the end of the semester.
f you are ambitious and willing to work hard and are
interested to know about life insurance as a vocation,
