GARDEN CITY PROTEST.
Don't Want State to Charge Tuition
at Educational Institutions

Some Of the members of the legislature
have received from Garden City pro
test against charging tuition fees in the
state educational Institutions. It IS signed
ooar0 or agriculture A q W heeler, SUI
perluteEdent Of the city school. Erwin ]
county Nettle NJ Lawrence principal OF
the Garden City high school. and r. NJ.
lawrence. president of the Industrial club.
The protest is as follows:
We have been advised that it is the dis
position Of some of our law makers in the
legislative body now assembled al TOPEKA
our state Institutions Of learning on the
students attending such schools We. the
sucn legislation, as not BENG 10 the best
interest Of the boys and girls of Kansas
We especially ask the sena tors and repre-
seutaliVes who are interested IN the man
hood and W0malh0cd Of Kansas to not
pass any appropriation bills with any
riders tackled to them Ike the one now
before the vavs and means committee Of
the house, wherein the fees of $4,000 an
nualIv are expected to be collected from
students attending the state university
Tt would seem to the ordinary kansan
that this would be an especial hardship
on TIE boys and girls Of the west, as all
the state schools are estab lished in the
east end of the state. and it. therefore
tel Ellis to the boy OF glrt OF the west tnat
the student Of the east part Of the state
does not have.
This $4,000 with other appropriations
we think. should come from the state
taxes, 50 that the nonresident pays his
share of taxes as well as the resident
owner while the people Of Kansas are i'm
proving the commonwealth and building It
up as a state it enhances his property and
al the property holders are then on an
even basis and treated alike Instead OF
heaping hardships on the hoy or girl who
is just starting in life. We think the fee
bill is against the educational interests Of
the state. and ask you. as senator's and
representative. to vote against any such
measures being made into law
On the other hand lengthy petitions have
come into the legislature asking for leg
islation of this kind. and it is support I'd
by some members who have themselves
worked their way through these very same
state institutions.
The burden OF the fees is placed on the
nonresident student-those who come
from outside Of Kansas It costs the state
500 a year for each student in the state
Agricultural college and $50 year for
/ each student in the State university. and
the supporters Of the bill claim that it Is
no more than right to compel non-resldents
to nav back at least part Of this expense
and that it will work no hardship on res
ideut students to charge them nominal
incidental fee
