THE SINGLE TAX
The time to strike for the Single
Tax is ripe. Nebraska is beginning
a great period of growth. Why not
make student activities keep pacs
with the school?
But do all the students know what
the Single Tax will mean? Do all
realize its advantages? Do they un
derstand that It will equalize the bur
den of support? Are there any ob
jections to the plan?
The only way to enlighten the stu
dents is by discussion. The Nebras
kan cannot do all the talking. Dis
cuss ft in your societies and class
rooms. Talk It up among your friends.
The burden of carrying the proposi
tion to Its adoption is on you. Let
each public-spirited student write a
letter to the Forum, giving his views
of the Tax. We will print them all.
Work for the Single Tax and a
greater Nebraska.

My Dear Editor:
After reading your article on the dis
turbing noises around the university
three times is it too much to ask
you to forget it? Of course, you feel
that you are doing a great work for
the university, but are you? Off the
campus, if you wail Is heard that far,
your complaint will sound more like
the complaint of a spoiled baby, with
the university instead of yourself in
the role of the spoiled baby.
Street cars and traction engines are
a part of the necessary life of today.
If you are taking your case before
the general public, the public will say
these conditions existed when Lincoln
was bidding for the retention of the
university on the present campus.
Why were they not considered as part
of the bargain?
If your campaign is noise elimina
tion, what are you going to do about
the fifty-seven varieties from the Uni
versity School of Music? If you have
Just complaint against the Rumely peo
ple across the way, has not the grocer
on the other corner an equally Just
claim for relief from the noises of
the Law college on the campus iteelJ 1
Granting that it will be impossible to
quiet the Law college, perhaps you
might put on a synchronizer so that
the spasmodic and all too frequent
eruptions of that body be timed to
take place with the passage of the
street cars.
Just one more suggestion, my dear
editor; In your efforts for the univer
sity why not go after Lincoln where
she Is really at fault. For her failure

iha university trackage on the
practical plan first asked for by the
board of regents for instance. Get ap
a petition to counteract the one of
the short-sighted individuals who were
frightened by an imaginary difficulty
that had no foundation in fact, and
convince our worthy commissioners
that they were making a mountain out
a mole hill and doing the university a
real hurt without sufficient reason?

Single Tax
Why we need a Single Tax, at Ne
braska is obvious. We need it to sup
port student activities, to put our
Daily Nebraskan on a plane with other
college dailies, to put our Glee club
on a par with other clubs, to increase
interest in debating and to support
athletics.
But will a Single Tax do this? It
most certainly will, for in the first
place it will put more money in our
paper, increasing it to a size that
other schools have. Then Glee club
concerts will be attended a great deal
better, for it you pay for something
you usually go to get your money's
worth. Athletics will be placed on a
sound financial basis and Nebraska's
champions can have the fitting and
paraphernalia that the second raters
of other schools have.
Then again, when you pay for the
support of activities you will be more
interested and consequently more peo
ple will take part. But we will soon
hear the old complaint of the "injus
tice" of forcing students to buy some
thing they don't want But do we
call a chemistry fee an "injustice?"
Activities are just as Important in
one's preparation for life as chemis
try. Instead of an injustice a Single
Tax will be a benefit to the majority, !
for it will take the burden of support. I
from the loyal few, who pay their
share now, and place it on the whole,
where the burden should be born.
