TAX LAND AND Cash
BIackmar Says Other Property Should
Be Exempted.

Kansas City, March 6.-"No person
should pay tax on a watch, a home,
a sewing machine or any household
furniture It's absurd. An income
tax and tax on land are sufficient
and all other forms of taxation may
be thrown away"
This was one of the opinions which
Prof. Frank w. Blackmar, professor of
political economy at the University Of
Kansas, expressed in a lecture on Tax
Reform delivered before the Kansas
City, Kan, Mercantile club. He said
a '-single tax" in the opinion, would
prove a failure as a panacea for all
Involuntary poverty and advocated
taxation based on the land and the
ability of the Individual to pay.
1--WE have a cumbersome, dilapidat-
ed general tax system which was de-
signed when property rights were
comparatively simple Professor
BIackmar said. "It has been mended,
patch upon patch, until it resembles
an old-fashioned crazy quilt and it is
entirely inadequate for the needs of
the complicated business of today.
Supposed injustice of distribution
toughens the consciences of the citi-
zens and tax lodging has almost be-
come a disease. Many men look on
taxes as money thrown away

mitigating featured the contest,
each man seeming afraid to stand
away and slam at his opponent. Eng
lish depended upon a straight left
to the jaw and a left swing that land
ed time and again on Ferns jaw.
Ferns seemed unable to connect his
swings and from the middle of the
fight on, depended almost altogether
on straight smashes to the jaw. His
work in the clinches, however. offset
what advantage English had at a dis
lance.
The fight was marred by wrangles
beginning with an argument of some
duration over the hand bandages.
Each man stripped his wrappings and
had his hands bound anew. Between
the sixth and seventh rounds on Eng
lish's protests, a physician entered the
ring and examined Ferns to see if he
had some pungent concoction on his
shoulders or hair. He failed to find
any. The men weighed in at 142
pounds.
This is the third meeting, each of
which resulted in draw.

NORMAL WINS CHAMPIONSHIP.

of the Kansas Collegiate conference
here, when Kansas State Normal de-
feated the College of Emporia, SO
to "a.
The game was significant of the
evenly matched strength of the OPP
posing fives and it was nip and tuck
from whistle to whistle. During the
second half the score was tied twice,
and while the Normal led when these
ties were broken, never was it
by more than a margin of two or three
points. The play was terrific.
The Normal started the game with
rush and scored eight points before
the college five got under way. To
ward the close of the first session, a
brilliant squirt by the Presbyterians
closed up the gap, and the half ended
II to 15-
Both teams had fresh centers for
the second period. Wedell relieved
MuIvaney, while Fraser was put out
on fouls and Smith went into the
game. The game waged roughly and
hotter as the close drew near, and the
Normal was fouled repeatedly for un-
necessary roughness, Robertson and
Wooster being the principal offenders
In this half, Granger made nine points
on free throws for the collegians.
The teachers excelled in team work,
and showed great accuracy at the bas-
kets. Binyon's long throws We're a
feature. Wedel tossed four goals on
the last half, which helped materially.
Granger was the particular star for
the Presbyterians, with seven goals
from the field and II free throws.
