opted at the final session in opposition
to increased armament by the nations Of
the earth.
A feature OF the session was an address
by Prof Henry Wade Rogers, of Yale uni
versity, who said the time was at hand

Christian attitude OF the United States and
its mad rivalry" with the nations of

University Regents Do Not Like Plan

LINCOLN. Dec. &-CSpeciaL)-At
meeting Of the members Of the Board OF
Regents Of the state university and the
members of the State Board of Education
last night, the matter OF finances for the
schools was one OF the questions discussed.
After a talk by State Treasurer Brian on
the matter Of school tax, the regents
finally agreed TO ask the next legislature
for the usual 1-mill levy, but specify that
when s5 per cent of the tax levied should
be collected that would be the limit Of the
appropriation.
The regents figuring on past experience,
estimate that 50 per cent Of the tax is col
lected. On a valuation Of s39l, 100000 in
rund numbers this would produce S7l9, 100
for the biennium on the 1-mill levy. SO
the university would ask for this sum out
Of the 1-mill levy.
In his talk Treasurer Brian advocated
specific appropriation for the university
rather than the 1-mill levy. and he as
sured the regents that there was no use
apoIogizing for the sum necessary to con-
duct the university and normal schools
II was his idea that when the people knew
just how small an amount it meant to the
individual taxpayer to support these
schools they would make no objections to
time they did object to the uncertainty
of the amount the 1-mill levy would raise
