INohnis.ku's Uneven
Artistic Adulthood.
Diversified expressions of senti
ment concerning; tlic "blocking"
of "Tobacco Road" by Omaha's
mayor reflect a somewhat irregu
lar but human concept of "should"
and "shouldn't"' censorables. Mem
bers of the cast describe the play
us "namby pamby" in comparison
to other productions brought to
the metropolitan "gateway to the
Middle-west." Butler and his full
force of 117 policemen and plain
clothesmen were reviled with ap
pelations starting from "sap."
Out-of-Towners expressed disgust
with the city as such, as being
like or unlike their home hamlet.
Injunction-sought judges ventured
cautious opinions of more or less
frankly buck-passing nature. And
the newspapers had a field day.
Anything banned or defamed
has an unmistakable attraction
to Americans. French novels, of
ficially censored out to the
country, enjoyed phenomenal
sales. Mid-way barkers at the
Century of Progress In Chicago
made money hand over fist, by
boasting of the number of times
their side-shows had been closed.
A local movie house "built up"
a foreign film around sensa
tional display pictures and the
widely publicized disaporoval of
the French government to it. A
novel by a home town writer
was banned from serialization in
the Lincoln press. It's a gay
little game for grown-ups.
Censorship Ineffective.
Obviously, censorship docs not
accomplish its purpose of keeping
unpcluted the public mind. "Lady
Chatterly's Lover" would probably
have much less glamor for little
boys were it not cupboarded out
of easy reach. An "Adults Only"
sign unduly entices adolescents.
Stolen sweets are ever sweetest.
"Tobacco Road" is undoubtedly
less be-grimed than many shows
whose playing goes unquestioned
in the cities where controversy has
centered aVound its production
the righteous banning of Boston,
the ridiculously be-lated closing in
Chicago, and such. Its fate, were
tt to attempt a performance in
Lincoln, would certainly duplicate
other close-outs. Yet the scripts
for the p'.ay, available in local
bookshops, are worn and thumbed
until they are ready to fall from
their covers. The cotton battinged
public mind knows all about the
Jecter.V doings.
How Much, How Little?
The problem of censorship is
not a new issue, but never
comes to lose its red flag
potency in some bullish centers.
There are those soapboxing for
absolute freedom anything
goes. They fail to see that much
censorship is inevitable because
it is self-imposed. Excessive
prudery is just as unperceptive;
man soon stifles himself with
his own unhampered stuffiness.
In journalism we learn that "the
best guarantee to freedom is its
limitations." It may be argued,
logically, that the individual var
iable element In such a concept is
too high for a practicable program
nf frppriom. Acceptance of the
ideas in best faith, however, tends
to show that a person is his own
best censor. Society should guide
his choices only so as to insure his
freedom to make them. The best
censorship, and "meaning"
quibbler Howard be damned, is
self-censorship.
GOLD IMPORTS INCREASE
TOTAL TO ALL TIME HIGH
GUmore Speaks at Social
Science Section of
Academy Meeting.
"Gold imports since January
1934 have exceeded four and one
half billion dollars which raise the
fold stock of the United States to
the highest level in our history."
said Dr. E. A. Gilmore, jr., of the
dfpartmcnt of economics at the
University, at the Friday after
noon social science section meet
ing of the academy, presided over
by Dr. C. E. McNeill, professor
of economics at the University.
"The main cause of gold imports
was an artificial lowering of the
value of the dollar in terms of
other currencies. Gold imports
account for about 33 percent of
the total expansion of deposits
since 1934 and for all of the pres
ent surplus reserves of our bank
ing system," he stated. "The
expansion of the loans and invest
ments of the banking system,
consisting in large measure of
government bonds, accounts for
approximately 6 per cent of the
total deposit expansion.
"The percentage increase in
deposits has exceeded the prob-

business and is largely responsible
for the 20 per cent rise in prices
since 1934." the economist pointed
out. "The present situation is not
without danger because deposits
are still circulating at an ab
normally low velocity. Increases
in the rate of turnover as recovery
proceeds may require an actual
decrease in total deposits if
further large price rises are to be
avoided. This implies not only a
balanced budget but substantial
government debt retirement In the
near future." i

Other Places.
Marie Chrlstensen of Fremont,
representing Kappa Alpha Theta
topped a field of 15 entries in the
Intersorority riding contest of the
Farmer's Fair Horse Show lust
night to win the coveted Faulkner
trophy. Second, third and fourth
places went respectively to Nan
Talbot, Delta Gamma; Elsie Carl
son, unaffiliated: and Marlon Ma
gee, Delta Gamma.
The intersorority contest was
held as one of the ten events in
the horse show which was staged
as the official opening of the 1937
Farmer's Fair. Some of the finest
riders nnd show horses in this sec
tion of the country took part in
the performance at the State Fair
Grounds Coliseum.
Ritzle McDonald Performs.
Highlight of the evening's per
formance in exhibition of riding
and showmanship came with the
appearance of James Foster's fa
mous high school horse, Ritzie
McDonald and her rider Alan
Walker of Dunbar, who is consid
ered one of the nation's foremost
horsemen. Doing everything from
waltzing and bowing to going
thru five distinct gaits without a
bridle, the champion, Ritzie, won
the hearts of each of the 500 spec
tators and left the arena with the
loudest applause of the evening
ringing in her proudly perked up
ears.
Another event of the evening
which won the hearty approval
of the onlookers was the novelty
chair race put on by the ag col
lege men. Vainly trying to urge
their plow horse mounts around
the coliseum, the riders attempted
to get to a chair in the arena each
time the band stopped playing,
with some unlucky fellow getting
left out each time. In this event
Floyd Carroll proved to be the
best plow horseman and runner,
with Tom Aitken, Jeff Broady,
and Jesse Frazeur taking second,
third and fourth, respectively.
Additional Attractions.
Additional feature attractions of
the performance were the appear
ance of Welty and Sturm's fa
mous Shetland pony team and
Hackney and Welsh pony outfits
and a rone performance given by
Melvin Becrman, ag student.
Winners in each of the ten
classes of riding and showman

On One Ballot.
By Richard DeBrown.
One single vote! All of the dif
ference between success and de
feat of a bill, and seemingly the
nemesis of a long plan building
levy for the university. Just as
one vote defeated hopea for a
building levy in 1937, for lack of
it a proposed ten year building
program backed by Governor Mc
Mullen in 1923 was also lost. But
in 1925 the legislature soothed the
university's disappointment by an
appropriation of $900,000 $150,
000 over the governor's recom
mendationsto be used for build
ing purposes during the next two
years.

Head Speaks Before
Banquet Friday.
Featured speaker at the annual
engineering students dinner at the
Lincoln hotel Friday night was
Roy M. Green, of Lincoln, whose
address on "What Does Engineers'
Registration Mean?" emphasized
the importance of registration as
an agency thru which the profes
sion may more clearly manifest
its function to the public mind.
Mr. Green, university graduate,
with a master's degree from Co
lumbia university, is president of
the Western Laboratories, firm of
consulting engineers.
The importance of legislation
toward registration of engineers
was emphasized by Mr. Green be
cause of its value in enabling en
gineers of this state to place their
practice upon a plane of ethics and
professional preparation compar
able to that of other states. Em
phasis also was placed upon the
added responsibility which mem
bers of the profession must as
sume if they are to demonstrate
by the ability, knowledge, and

No New Buildings in 1923.
The legislature before, in 1923,
abided by Governor Bryan's rec
ommendation that there be no
appropriations for new university
buildings, while in 1921. $110,000
served to build a nurses' home at
Omaha at the college of medicine.
The year 1927 brought an ap
propriation of $500,000 to give the
campus Andrews hall, as well as
a girls' dormitory at Curtis. But
that year saw the last of the
university's building program so
far as classroom expansion Is con
cerned. In 1929 a new heating
plant was provided for by an ap
propriation of $555,000. The state
capitol building was also to be
served by the plant.

SPRING POLL WITH
E
Independent Filings Might
Cause Bolt in Factions.
Free-for-AII Spree.
By Politicus VIII.
Today's Daily Nebraskan comes
out with the announcement of the
filings for the student council and
publication board positions for the
next school year, to be voted upon
at Tuesday's spring election.
Alignment of the political fac
tions this spring has been an
"about face" as far as the Barbs
are concerned. Last year, their
potential strength was linked with
the ever-powerful Progressive fac
tion, and this year one finds the
unaf filiates tied up with the liberal
faction nee Greek Council.. Yes,
the Liberals and Barbs are wedded
this spring but just how the
wedlock pans out remains to be
seen.
Barbs Backed Progressives.
Progressives last year hold the
support of the Barbs and the latter
received a position on the publica
tion board and a Corn Cob office.
Obviously believing that a differ
ent political alignment might be
more fruitful, the Barbs decided
to give the new Liberal group a
try.
With a half of dozen Barb can
didates bearing the Liberal tag,
the unaffiliates have thrown their
support behind the recently-recognized
party. A scant six offices is
the payoff for this alliance, organ
ized or otherwise, and it was the
intention of the Barbs to secure

Paul Day Speaks.
Paul W. Day showed some data
interesting to the middlewcst in
an address, "Effect of Frequent
Clipping on the Water Require
ment of Pasture Grass." The
water requirement is reduced by
grazing, he said, but the feeding
by livestock also cuts down the
total foliage production.
In several controlled experi
ments, it was shown that only
one-fourth to one-half of the total
amount of water used by speci
mens of both clipped anil un
dipped grasses was absorbed by
the latter. Day concluded from
the tests that grass that has been
grazed uses the moisture much
less efficiently than when left un
molested. U. S. Authority Gives Report.
Ernest Wright of the United
states Department of Agriculture
reported that deciduous trcc3 in
this territory have been especially
susceptible to disease.
Clayton W. Watkins of the Uni
versity indicated that it has been
neither disease nor high tempera
ture in Nebraska that has caused
the tremendous loss of trees, but
rather the shortage of moisture.
