MAN
Leading Thinkers Propose to
Frame Plan for Control of
Business Cycles.
Prof. Juhn K. Kirshman of the
economics department has accept
ed an invitation of the Lions Inter
national to be one of a committee
on economic guidance. The com
mittee, which consists oi aooui
fifty leading thinkers of the coun
try, has as its purpose to frame a
plan or group of plans for the con
trol of business cycles.
Lions International, according to
a letter received by Kirshman. now
the leading service club association
with more clubs on the North
American continent than any other
international association, and rep
resenting a cross section of the
business and professional interests
of the country, has become deeply
concerned over what it considers
"the persistent failure of our gov
ernment and society to cope suc
cessfully with the problem of ever
recurring business cycles."
In tin opinion of the board of
directors of Lions International,
the causes of these depressions,
though perhaps too fundamental to
be entirely eliminated, can in a
measure be brought under control.
But there does not seem to be
much hone that a worthwhile plan
of procedure can come from the
office holding class; nor does it
appear likely that the business
woild can work out its own sal
vat ion.
Therefore the club is turning to

University Officials Appear
Before Legislature to
Present Arguments.
Members of a committee repre
senting the university told the
h.Ko '.if legislature finance com
mitter that anv reductions below
Gov. Charles W. Bryan's budget
recommendation would jeopardize
th ..rnrienev of the institution.
ti,' vnf.-int'iti'.i: o-.'iino- be1",ii e thr I
committee were Marion Shaw of ,
David City, president of the board
of regents: Chancellor E. A. L.ur
nett and Dean H. 11. Foster of the
law college.
Shaw stated that Governor Bry
an's budget called for reductions
at least 'three times greater than
any in the past. He declared that
he believed Bryan's recommenda
tions had been made after a thor
ough study of the university's
needs and that his figure was the
minimum.
Cuts Are Threats.
Dean Foster declared that "every
cut below the Bryan budget is a
severe threat to the university."
He also pointed out that the uni
versity and state appropriations
are a "minor item in the burden of
taxation. If the university were
completelv abolished, th" saving
to the individual taxpayer would
be less than -1 .42 percent.
Foster stated that the proposed
budget would reduce salaries three
timi's as much as the 10 percent
salary cut which the faculty mem
bers have already taken and that
further reductions must come from
salaries. These would have to lie
borne by about -loo employ-.
