STUDENTS DISCUSS
JEVJ DEAL POLICIES
Nebraskans Show Great Interest in National Issues
At Initial Forum of Council Series at
Temple Theater Thursday.
REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRATIC LEADERS SPEAK
i
S. R. McKelvie Accuses Administration of Breaking
Campaign Promises; L. C. Clark Upholds
Roosevelt Government.
That Nebraska students are interested in political affairs was
made clear when defenders and attackers of the new deal hurled
questions at S. K. McKelvie, opposer of the new deal, and C. L.
Clark, upholder of administration policies, at the first open
forum Thursday morning.
McKelvie, former governor andO " "
member or the reaerai rarm ixmru
under Hoover, opened the convoca
tion with a fifteen minute speech
in which he enumerated demo
cratic campaign promises and
pointed out the ways in which they
have broken them. He accused the
New Deal of spending as much
money in three years as had been
spent by the government in the
preceding 127 years.
"The administration is spending
two dollars for every one that is
taken in," he declared. "What does
the New Deal's regimentation and
greater taxes hold out in promise
to the young man and woman?"
Clark Speaks.
The republican speaker was to
lowed by L. C. Clark, democratic
county committee chairman, who
in the same allotcd time explained
New Deal theories. He declared
that the New Deal changd the
philosophy employed by repumic

government economy and stated
that "ordinary expenditures" were
12 percent less in ivaa, z pereeut
less in 1934 and 15 percent less in
1935.
Ask Many Questions.
Students began firing questions
at both speakers after each had
presented his arguments. The pe
riod of interrogation started when
George Hanthorn, sophomore from
Superior, popped up and asked
McKelvie's opinion on the potato
bill, which, he said, was enough to
make any farmer "boil like a hoot
owl." The engineering student
later took the floor again and
asked Clark what would happen
to the small policyholder if the
RFC, which Clark condemned, had
not loaned to insurance com
panies. Clark replied that the loaning
to the average man instead of the
companies would have saved them
because policyholders would then
have been able to pay premiums.
Elizabeth Bushee, senior from
Lincoln, took a shot at the repub
lican party by asking McKelvie,
"What are some of the construc
tive things that you and your col
leagues would have done had they
been in power for the past few
years?"
McKelvie Reply.
"The most constructive thing
we could have done would have
been not to do the things they
have done. McKelvio retorted.
"They are sowing taxpayers
money and no one will pay more
than you will in your lifetime."
In reply to a challenge by Irving
Hill to his assertion that a dicta
torship exists in this country, Mc
Kelvie stated that the most abso
lute dictatorship is the most in
sidious because it is the one that
gets in when you aren't looking.
Bill Marsh, council member in
charge of convocations, stated he
was pleased at the success of the
forum and announced that the sec
ond forum would be held soon.

BURR URGES STUDY
OF TAX PROBLEM IN
TALK AT COLUMBUS
Ag College Dean Speaks for
---Federation of - County
Taxpayers' Groups.
Prof. W. W. Burr, dean of the
agricultural college at the univer
sity, advocated careful study of all
tax problems with a view toward
more effective investment of the
tax dollar, in an address before the
state meeting of the Nebraska Fed
eration of County Taxpayers'
Leagues at Columbus.
Wisely invested, he said, the tax
dollar will yield more than priv
ately Invested money. He advo
cated in general the principles of
the Indiana plan which include as
sessment on true valuatioin,
butgeting, a state tax commision
with power to scrutinize and limit
budgets of local units, and the re
moval of politics from the appoint
ment of the state tax commission.
Many of these principles are in
practice elsewhere, but well work
ed out state systems are a matter
for future development, and they
will come, he believes, as a result
of cooperative study, research
work, and education. Some re
search work has been done by the
agricultural college, for example a
recent study of assessed and sales
value of farm land.
The Indiana taxpayers are or
ganized," said Dean Burr, "as they
are in Nebraska, to study tax
questions. Doubtless they have had
much to do in shaping the policy
that has assured the people of a
considerable degree of efficiency
in the conduct of governmental af
fairs. DANCING TO FEATURE
