PROF FOSSLER'S ARGUMENT
In today's Forum is an article by
one of the ablest members of our
faculty, contending that the Single
Tax should not be adopted. He al
leges that it is unfair; that it is con
trary to the spirit of freedom. He
proposes a plan which he considers
better than the one advanced by The
Daily Nebraskan.
With all due credit to the able in
structor, we do not believe that his
arguments will stand; and we be
lieve that we are violating no code
of ethics when we thus take iBsue
with him, however presumptlous it
may seem on our part.
In answer to his arguments against
the present system, we need but call
attention to some of the theories we
have advanced heretofore in these
columns. We believe that the Single
Tax is fairer than the present sys
tem because it is a more equitable
distribution of support. This is true
because it will mean that all will get
the benefit, and can get it to a degree
equal to any other if they choose, in
contrast with the present system,
where all get the benefit and a few
pay. We believe that the Single Tax
violates no personal rights, because
those who cannot pay will be ex
cused. As to the plan the professor pro
poses, it bears its own fallacies. It
is merely the present plan, except
that the price would be lowered by
the clubbing system. As to decreas
ing the cost to the student, it Is suf
ficient to say that at present The
Dally Nebraskan and the lesser ac
tivities are Operating at a loss. If
the price Is lowered, the condition
is made worse. More students will
not buy, because they will be able
to borrow as at present. The price
would have to be ridiculously low to
induce students to buy rather than
to borrow.
.vmAnt for the orivlleges that you
have enjoyed, to make others realise
their opportunities along educational
lines. - '
Look up the boys from your home
town and show them the campus.
Make them acquainted with the var
ious buildings and what Is going on
in each. If there is no one here from
home, help others show their friends
around. The proper management of
the tournament will mean great
things for Nebraska. Such manage
ment depends quite as much on you
as on the officers in charge.
Remember, "For Nebraska, We
Will."
NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES
There are many side issues about
college life to which we do not give
the proper attention. We notice in
the paper that they are taking place,
and If called upon to express an
opinion at the time would say that
we approve. But when our attention
is due we neglect them. Nearly
every night there are lectures or
concerts given that we could easily
attend. When we are out of school,
we will gladly pay a high price to
hear them. But now that they are
given free, we permit a cheap Bhow
up town, a game of cards, or a moon
light walk to interfere.
Just now the World Outlook Semi
nar is conducting a series of meetings
which, to those who attend, are of
the greatest value. Lecturers are
telling of the peoples of all parts of
the world. These lecturers are well
qualified to speak, having spent years
in the various countries of which
they, tell. Their point of view is not
only missionary, but also economical
and industrial. More can be
learned in the hour devoted to these
meetings, perhaps, than in many of
the lecture periods on the campus.
Why not be awake to our chances,
and attend some of these meetings?
FORUM
OUR DUTY TO THE
HIGH SCHOOL VISITORS
"Remember today the stranger with
in they tates." Within the iron
fence this week are many young peo
ple who are seeing the university for
the first time. Many will not see
it again unless they decide to make
it the place of their future education.
The state furnishes its university
for the education of as many of ks
sons and daughters as can take ad
vantage of the opportunities offered
them. But the state cannot properly
advertise the Institution without the
help of those who are attending it
Whether these 800 high school peo
ple decide -to come to Nebraska when
they finish at home depends in a
large measure on their impression of
the Institution this week. A recep
tion committee has been appointed,
but It cannot do It alL It tehooves
the students, therefore, to da their
part in making the visitors feel at
home. You owe It to the state In part
German Dept., March 7, 1916.
Editor Nebraskan:
Dear Sir What do I think of the
Single Tax? This: If it were made
compulsory, It would be unfair and
unjust; it should not be thought of.
We are all "free and equal." The
arguments in favor of the Single Tax
are, as I view the. question, fallacious
and contrary to the spirit of freedom.
Instead I should like to" propose the
following: Let the lowest possible
collective rate be made on The Ne
braskan and the various student ac
tivities, including athletics. Let this
rate be so low as to make it an ob
ject to avail oneself of It. Then ap
peal as strongly as you please for
support from students, faculty and
all. I dare say this method would
produce at least some of the results
aimed at. It would have the great
merit of being an inducement to join
the "boosters" and, at the same
time, leave those whose interests did
not lie in that direction, freer to do as
their circumstances or Inclination
would demand.
Respectfully yours,
Lawrence Fossler.
