THE WEST AND THE SINGLE TAX
It is a commonly accepted generali
zation that individualism is more prev
alent in the newer states. Democracy
is more real in the frontier communi
ties, while in the older states the ten
dency is more socialistic.
In the light of this truism it is In
teresting to study the geography of
the Single Tax. The replies to our
inquiries indicate that the states west
of Nebraska have adopted the Single
Tax to a greater degree than has the
east. Among the state institutions
having the Single Tax that have re
ported from this section of the coun
try are the state universities of Cal
ifornia, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Ne
vada and the state colleges of Mon
tana and Washington. To our knowl
edge the system exists in other
schools from this section of the coun
try that have not as yet reported.
Not only is the system more preva
lent in this section of the country,
but the average fee is higher than is
that of the eastern institutions. The
average tax for the seven institutions
named above is $3.50 per semester.
Montana, in answer to one of our
questions, remarks, "Our entrance fee
is only $10, and the payment of $20
Is not much." Compare this with Ne
braska figures. If the Single Tax is
adopted the student here will pay $7,
which Includes Incidentals, library
fee and the tax. Will we allow Mon
tana to show us what student support
really la?
Another point is that the schools in
this part of the country are least
lenient when it comes to the matter of
excusing students from payment. Five
of the above named seven state Insti
tutions have no provision whatever
for excusing any student. Payment
of the fee is an absolute prerequisite
to registration.
Perhaps these figures prove noth
ing. But they are a strong indication
of one thing: Democracy and the Sin
gle Tax are not strangers.

Fromthe Jug
The following statements have been
added to the. literature on the sub
ject of the English Club Jug. Let
Mr. Wimberly and Mr. Hess Bpeak
for themselves:
At a recent business meeting of the
English club, one of the members upon
ascertaining that I was a native of
Louisiana, the land of brandy toddles,
moved that I be elected custodian, of
the English club jug. This was in
December, 1915. At that time numer
ous and anxious hints were thrown
out as to what the cuBtodian should
keep on hand. I remember that, with
tho exception of grape juice and but
termilk, no soft drinks were mention
ed and that these two were immediate
ly frowned upon. Even yet I am
not perfectly at ease regarding my
duties and I hereby solemnly swear
that I have failed as custodian if to
fill that office be to fill the jug.
L. C. Wimberly,
Custodian of the Jug.
BRIEF BITS OF NEWS
Election of "May Qucon Friday,
April 14. Voting will take place at
the library. Every senior girl is urged
to come and cast her ballot.
Only girls who are paid-up mem
bers in the Girls' club can vote for f
the officers and members of the Girl
club board. The election will be held
Wednesday and Thursday this week.

matics club will be held in Faculty
hall of the Temple Thursday evening,
April 13, at 7:30 o'clock. Professor
Candy will speak on "The Method of
Archimedes," and Mr. Andrlesson will
demonstrate lightning calculations
WHERE 18 THE SINGLE TAX?
The regents are very busy at their
present meeting. The result is that
they have not yet taken up the mat
ter of the Single Tax. Just when they
will get to it is a question. We have
petitioned for a hearing on the mat
ter, and hope that the request will be
granted, even though It may mean the
stretching of a former precedent. Wo
believe that the exigencies of the case
Justify such action.
What Is done on the matter will be
published in the first Nebraskan that
comes out after we get the informa
tion.

I wish to emphatically deny the al
leged fact that I am assistant keeper
of the English club's wicked jug.
Wliile it is true that I had to carry
this piece of cherished earthenware
to the banquet last year, I have no
recollection of having taken It back
to its present place of repose, so I
cannot justly be designated as a jug
custodian.
Rumor has said that It was once tho
duty of Dr. Alexander, at each
meeting of the club, to relate the tra
dition of the jug and tell the story
of tho new member from Kansas, who
resigned his office immediately upon J
being elected keeper of the jug. But, t
of course, that was a long time ago,
so I cannot say if it is true.
There is another rumor which
should be denied the statement that
cider is kept in the jug. A scarcely
legible label on the reverse side of
this "figment of the Imagination"
bears the legend, "Whisky and Wa
ter." This was undoubtedly placed
there by some of the charter mem
bers years ago, for the sentiment of
the club is different now. In fact, I
made a personal investigation yes
terday and found no trace of this
innocent beverage. Still I hardly think
the jug ever contained cider.

AGAINST MEXICAN REBELS
University of Washington, Mar.
Since the pot began to boil along the
Mexican border, several students have
sought admissios to Company F, the
campus branch of the National Guard
of Washington. They are being ad
vised by Capt. W. T. Patten, command
ant of the cadet corps, that service on
the border, were they to" be called,
would be no picnic, and that they had
best think twice.
Capt. J. B. Alexander, of Company
F, has announcer that his command
will be recruited immediately to full
war strength, 108 men. The company
is fully equipped and ready to travel
on two hours' notice, Capt Alexander
told a reporter.
Most of tho men who are In this
company are working their way
through college. Many are conspicu
ous in campus circles. Col. Hubert
Hopkins, student commander of the
cadet corps, is subject to call, being u
.commissioned officer in the commis
sary department of the national guard.

"Students in any public educational

halls," is the edict that is worrying
the Michigan freshmen. The average
freshman at Ann Arbor is only 19
years old. Authorities insist that the
