FRESHMEN BARRED BY DEAN
FROM ALL N. U. ACTIVITIES
Lincoln. March 12. "University
students cannot participate in extra
curricular activities unless they have
27 hours in two preceding semesters."
declared W. C. Harper, assistant to
the dean of student affairs at the
University of Nebraska, when inter
viewed Tuesdaj- concerning an ulti
matum issued by the administration
office to enforce eligibility rules.
This ruling will eliminate fresh
men entirely from outside activities.
"These rules are the same as now
apply to athletics." said Mr. Harper,
"and not only freshmen but urper
classmen are included in their scope."
"Many students take too many ac
tivities and neglect their scholarship.
.Some come just for social life and
make scholarship secondary. Their
grades show it."
e rules, which were laid down
by the university senate last year.
had not been enforced strictly up to
!thc present semester,
! Such a ruling, according to author-
ities, is destined to eliminate students
coming to Nebraska primarily for ac
tivities and to bar freshmen in order
to give them more time to study.

Californians
Vote to Slice
Income Taxes
Would Cut Levy on Earned Incomes
50 Per Cent; Address Reso
lution to Hoover.
Sacramento, Cal.. March 12. By
unanimous vote, the state senate
Tuesday went on record for reduction
of the federal income tax upon earn
ed incomes.
Senator Charles V. Lyon's resolu
tion which urges upon congress the
enactment of legislation which will
cut the tax on that form of income
on unearned incomes was passea
without dissenting voice.
Senator Lyon urged these points:
"We know that this tax is wrong
in principle.
"We feel that the same rate of tax
should not be imposed upon those
that earn their incomes as contrast
ed wit hthose that inherit and do
not accumulate by their own earn
ings. "This tax is a burden imposed upon
professional people, on skilled labor,
on many who have passed through
long periods of toil to get a place of
earning capacity. And when they
get to that point, the government
comes along and takes their earn
ings away from them.
"The doctor, the dentist, the law
yer, and scores of others in many
professions and trades, too, went
through long periods of "lean years."
"After they reach fruition from
their many years of effort, they are
faced with this tax which eats into
their earnings at a rate entirely be
yond what seems right and just."
The memorial is addressed to the
president, the secretary of treasury
and congress.
Assemblyman Morgan Keaton, be
ing informed that the resolution had
passed the senate, announced that he
will substitute it for one of his own
in the lower house, and secure early
action upon it there. Omaha Bee
News. LARGE NAVY IS PLANNED
Washington -Chairman Britten of
the house naval committee said Mon
day the British naval budget in his
opinion indicated that Great Britain
proposed to maintain a navy ejual
to the combined sea forces of all other
nations instead of pursuing its pre
sent policy of a navy equal to that
of any two nations.
The British budget, made public
Friday in London, calls for naval
expenditure of S2S0.0lt0.000 this
year, of which amount $48,000,000,
Britten said, is for the construction
of new warships including five crui
sers armed with eight inch guns.
These he said in a statement were
in addition to the eight cruisers
new being built.
Britten reviewed the British crui
ser tonnage and said that a "care
ful study of these figures would show
that England has abandoned her tra
ditional jolicy of having a navy equal
to any two on the seas, and has nub
stituted therefor the policy of a royal
fleet equal to the combined navies of
the world."

Judges in Court
Virtually Agree
on Reservations
America May Ttake Place in World
Tribunal if Senate Willing;; Ac
tion May Be Delayed.
Geneva The world court jurists,
including Elihu Root, virtually have
reached an agreement concerning the
American reservations and, if the
United States Senate is willing, there
seems every probability that the
United States will take its place as
a member of the great Hague trib
unal of international justice.
The big idea by Mr. Root has gone
thru. Its phraseology has been put
into other terms but its fundamentals
remain unchanged. Presumably the
Geneva agreement will go down in
history as the "Root-Hurst agree?
ment" just as the scheme for elec
tion of judges of the court drawn up
a decade ago is known among inter
national jurists as the Root-Phill-more
accord.
Sir Cecil Hurst. British jurist, did
not change the substance of the Root
formula; he transformed its composi
tion and gave emphasis at some
points where Root in helping to
frame the statutes of the court sub
mitted the idea that the best way
to elect the judges was by concur
rent elections in the council and as
sembly of the League of Nations.
Would Quiet Apprehensions.
He believed that this would quiet
apprehensions of both great and small
powers that they might not have ade
quate voice in the choice of judges.
This proposal was eagerly seized
upon at that time, but Lord Thill
more changed the phraseology of the
formula just as Sir Cecil now has
done some shifting in the Root for-
mula concerninc the delicate nrob-
lems of advisory opinions which the
council has got into the habit of ask
ing of the court.
Nicholas Politis, the Greek jurist,
and also Prof. V. J. M. Van Eysinga
of the Netherlands, who presided at
the conference in 1926 which reject
ed the American fifth reservation con
cerning advisory opinions, also con
tributed modifications but the main
work was done by Sir Cecil, who in
troduced a written proposal.
This effort was gone over care
fully by a subcommittee composed
of Hurst, Root. Politis and Vittorio
scialoja of Italy. They reported
agreement concerning the first three
paragraphs and agreement in princi
ple of the fourth and last paragraph.
Hurst, Root and Politis were expect
ed Teusday night to bring in the
complete draft Wednesday.
Sir Cecil Wants Speed.
Sir Cecil's idea is that possible
difference of views with the United
States concerning the feasibility of
requesting an advisory opinion on a
subject connected with a particular
international dispute should be clear
ed up at the start. He prefers this
to running risks of delays and mis
understandings which might be in
volved in holding consultations with
the United States after the court it
self has been asked by the council
to render an apinion.
Ke wants speed. He believes that
if the council contemplates reauest
ing an opinion the United States
should be notified immediately. In
this way the council will be made
cognizant as to whether the United
States has any objections. If it has,
negotiations will be immediately in
augurated and presumably would re
sult in an agreement as to whether
the opinion should be insisted upon
or dropped.
Think Question Political.
The Root formula provided for its
early consultation but gave more
emphasis to its occurring after the
court was in possession of the affair.
Hurst and his colleagues are con
vinced that the problem of whether
an advisory opinion should be ask
ed is fundamentally political in
character and should be treated and
solved as such by the league coun
cil and the United States thru the in
viative of the court would not be
made impossible.
The fourth paragraph, which has
yet to be drafted, is connected with
article 73 of the court statutes. This
article instructs the court to give
notice of requests for advisory opin
ions to all states "entitled to appear
before the court." This includes the
United States because it is mentioned
in the annex of the league covenant
as one of the original members of the
league.
Little Hope for Hurry.
Washington Little hope is held
out here for consideration by the sen
ate before the regular meeting of con
gress in December of the new for
mula agreed upou Tuesday at Geneva
for American adherence to the world
court.
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee, which must
first act upon the new scheme evolved
"by Elihu Root with the rules commit
tee of the League of Nations, statea
he would be unwilling to proceed un
til the League of Nations council it
self has formally approved the pro
posal. The council does not meet un
til September.
Mr. Root has worked out a for
mula seeking to adjust the differ
ences between the world powers and
this country on the senate's reserva
tion to adherence. The American
reservation "which never has been ac
cepted by the other powers stipulated
that the world court should not un
dertake to render an advisory opin
ion on a case in which the United
States has. or claims to have, an in
terest without the consent of this
government. State Journal.

Legislature to
Hear Kearney
Normal Row
Scheme to Oust School Head by Fi
nance Cut Proposed by
Committee.
Discontent with management of
the Kearney State Teachers' college
has come before the legislature with
the admission by Representative J.
D. Saunders of Kearney, at Lincoln
Tuesday, that he he demanded the
designation of George E. Martin,
president since 1919.
President Martin told The World
Herald he had no intention of re
signing under fire, and that he had
asked the normal board, but without
avail, to investigate rumored charges
against him.
Members of the finance and edu
cational committees of the house of
representatives, which recently visit
ed Kearney in their routine inspec
tion trips, pooh-poohed the sugges
tion that appropriations would be re
stricted until Martin stepped out, ad
mitting, however, that had been pro
posed. Wants Him to Quit.
"It is true that I want President
Martin to resign," Representative
Saunders told the Associated Press.
"I might say further, that sentiment
among the citizens of Kearney is over
whelmingly in favor of his retire
ment. You're going to hear a lot
more about this matter before we
get through."
Representative Saunders was one
of a delegation from Kearney that
called on former Governor McMullen
last fall to ask for the appointment
of a man on the state normal board
who was known to be unfavorable
to President Martin's retention. An
other contingent from Kearney wait
ed on the governor about the same
time to ask that no one be named on
the board who was avowedly hostile
to the normal school head
Governor McMullen finally ap
pointed T. F. Hamer of Kearney,
the anti-Martin candidate, on the
normal board, but with the agree
ment that no steps would be taken
by him for the removal of the presi
dent. That arrangement has kept the
matter from coming to a head in
the normal board up to the present
time.
Board Change Coming.
When the finance and state insti
tutions committees were at Kearney
their members said they heard com
plaints in regard to normal school
administration. Some said they were
convinced that a change will be nec
essary to erostre harmony and serve
the best interests of the institution.
Three appointments are to be mad'
on the normal board by Governor
Weaver, subject to confirmation by
the elgislature, b'-fore the end of the
session.
These appointments may to some
extent, determine the outcome of the
fight being made on Martin. Two
are for the regular six-year terms
and the other is for the seat now
held temporarily by Mr. Kamer.

Electric Heating
System in Homes
Found Practical
New Method Is Successful in Eight
Eoom House at Cost of
$350 for Winter
Philadelphia, Pa. The electrical
ly heated home, without chimney
or coal bin. predicted years a?xo by
Dr. Steinmetz, is a reality. Homes
and buildings in a half dozen differ
ent cities are being successfully
heated by this means this winter.
This fact was made known by
Chester I. Hall, president of the Hall
Electric Heating Company of this
city, who as research engineer of
the General Electric Company, iu
charge of its experimental labora
tory at Fort Wayne, lnd., developed
this new method of electrical
heating.
The method consists of heating
large thermal storage tanks of water,
using electric current only at night,
when it can be obtained at the low
est cost, and releasing this stored
heat to the home as required. The
same plan, either in conjunction
with the home heating system or
independently, can be used to supply
the domestic hot water needs. The
Hall heating system can be installed
as a hot air, hot water, vapor or
double-inine steam system. The
charging or storgae of hat is sub
stantially the same in all. and the
only difference is the matter of dis
charging the heat.
"Electric heating is no longer ex
perimental, the cost reasonable," ac
cording to Mr. Hall. "It is the second
winter for its use in Fort "Wayne and
from data received from that city, as
well as other restricted territories in
which the company is operating. I
feel sure that it is firmly established.
I believe that the average eight-room
home in the ceneral belt of stated,
comprising Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indi
ana and Illinois can be heated elec
trically for approximately $350 per
winter, providing of course that the
building is well insulated. Otherwise
the cost will be greater.
"There is neither flame nor com
bustion of any sort in the house,"
Mr. Hall explained. "Heat by elec
tricity is not the product of com
bustion and does not consume oxygen.
The total, oxygen in the bouse ordi
narily used to a great extent by coal,
oil, gas or wood fires, is therefore
ielt intact. The further products c!
iaty) lMir5rn 'tin"1 Vi oc cm rlr ft c n sacc

New Pian on
Bank Deficit
Bill Reimburses Depositors Up
S20.000.000; State to Con
tribute $5,000,000.
to
Lincoln, Neb., March 12. A com
plete new plan for reimbursing de
positors in failed state banks to an
aggregate amount of $20,000,000. of
which ?5, 000, 000 would be appro
priated from the state treasury and
$15,000,000 be raised by continuing
semiannual assessments on banks at
the rate of one-half of 1 per cent a
year, was offered in the Nebraska
house Tuesday by Representative
O'Maliey, Greeley, democratic floor
leader, as a substitute for the guar
antv fund "first aid" bill, H. R. 299.
after the latter measure had been
"shot to pieces" on the floor.
Same Plan in Senate.
The same plan was to be offered
in the senate, as a substitute for its
pending bill to take care of the guar
anty fund deficit, S. F. 242. A. N.
Mathers, Gering banker and former
legislator, was said to have given it
his approval.
Mr. O'Maliey said the new sub
stitute represents the combined ef
forts of several leading attorneys and
others, including Judge F. S. Howell
and William Ritchie of Omaha.
Tiie house at one time got into
such a tangle that Speaker Coulter
asked :
"Whoever said this house could
act intelligently?"
Bills Provisions.
Principle features of the O'Maliey
substitute are:
1. Assessment of solvent banks for
12 years, once every six months, at
the rate of one-half of 1 per cent on
deposits; estimated receipts, $1C
000.000. 2. Appropriation of $2,000,000
from the state treasury for payment
of claims already been brought by
depositors based on charges of mis
management, fraud, collusion or neg
ligence of the state's officers and
agents and bank receivers.
3. Additional appropriation of ?C
000,000 fro instate treasury to pay
similar claims which may be filed.
4. Acknowledgement of state's
liability to depositors.
v. No state bank to liquidate or
consolidate with a national bank
without first paying its share of the
deficit.
6. New banks put up a guaranty
fund reserve equal to 4 per cent of
the capital stock, readjusted after
one year to 1 per cent of average de
posits. Omaha Bee-News.
