Far Away Australia Would
Copy TOpeka's Idea.
Secretary Lux Gets Inquiry
From a Victoria Citizen.
HE CALLS Topeka A COUNTY

Bit Confusing.
Lux Told Him How Kansas

Echoes of the Topeka Free fair,
held September 1918. are resoundins
around the world. Way over in the
Orient in the islands OF the East
Indies and in Australia the idea start

following letter from Walter Lyon, OF
the Victoria, Australia, agriculture
society, to S. E. LUX, president OF the

"From a COPY of the Philadelphia
Farm Journal, just at hand. gIeah
that a free fair was held this month
in your city and that your county mas
voted a special tax levy to pay the
pre1niu.-s. Being on the committee
of our local agricultural society," L am
struck with the proposition and would
be pleased if you would forward some
of the details of the scheme. Am to
understand that the sum was raised
by the levy of so many cents on the
dollar by the two counties, Topeka
and Shawnee?
Improved Capital
And do YOU rate on the unIm-
proved value of land and exempt I'M
provements or on the improved capt.
tai value we do?
For instance, a property, 1arm'
state or dwelling is assessed at a capt.

at saw $4,000 for municipal rating, OF
taking as you call it, that property
is supposed to have a rental value OF
$3.50 on that rental value we strike
an annual rate or tax of so much on
the dollar At present it is equal TO
about 9 cents on the dollar for general
road rate and another Z cents Tor
water rate. Is it the idea OF the Whole
county rating itself for the purpose OF
paving premiums giving free admls-

Lux Couldn't Solve 1t.
The letter was-judging from some
of the phrases used-written by
.'bloomin' Henglishman," strayed from
his native isle and taking part in Aus
tralian affairs. Following half hour
or more of brain racking worry over
the British method of levying taxes,
and after failing to find the solution,
Mr. LUX forgave the writer for calling
Topeka a county and answered the
rnissive furnishing the Australian
with full details.
The free fair idea is also taking root
in other states of this country. Iowa
is now in the middle of fight for an
institution similar to that of Topeka.
The press and influential men of af-
fairs are lining up on the affirmative.

GLOOMY
Farmer Boys Fear Southwestern
May "Put One Over"
Coach Bender Gives Out a Real
Bear Story.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. so.-with
the heavy Southwestern college foot
on Ahearn field Friday afternoon,
John r. Bender, coach of the Aggie
team, is bending every effort in order
to avoid a repetition of the defeat of
two years ago-13 to 10.
Coach Bender admits he is feeling
blue because of the loss of four of the
veteran line men and the entire back
field. The men who did not return
this fall include: Coxen, center;
Briney, guard; Scanlon, tackle; Mar
bic, tackle; Haucke, full; Haymaker,
quarter; Ems. half; and Agnew, half.
These were all regulars and must be
replaced. The new team, which Coach
Bender is whipping into shape as rap
boys, the average age of the squad
members being but 20 vars, and the
average weight 1913 pounds.
I'VE are trying to develop good
tacklers, good fighters, and all the
speed possible" said Coach Bender to-
day. my fear is that the light line
will not be able to withstand the on
slaught of a heavy set of backs.
The Aggie center, 'Rasty' Wright.
weighs only 159 pounds. The two
tackles tip the scales at but ITO each
and the ends and backs average $50
pounds.
1.-The boys are all tall and look big.
but are light and small in the waist 1
ADMIT InaL am AFRAID OF the SOUTH
western team. The team is heavy
average weight $50 pounds-and it
has a good place kicker who may
cause trouble. Word comes from
Southwestern that an effort will be
made to repeat the trick of two years
age when the Aggies went down to de-
feat.
II am up in the air as to what men
to start in the initial game. 1 have
hardly had time to give the men the
once over
1.-THE one. thing that pleases me is
the spirit of the team and the willing
ness of the members to fight This is
our only consolation, and upon this
fighting spirit wemust depend to win
games"
Bender also says his hospital list is
increasing alarmingIy.

vILLIPICUE Hurt
IchabOd FuIlback Sustained
Fractured Rib Wednesday.
Bob Hasty, Former Student,
Expeced to Join the Squad.

AS result of the freshman varsity
game Tuesday afternoon the freshman
squad at Washburn was rather slim
Wednesday, and the varsity was COM
PEELED 10 scrimmage against the
scrubs. And in the course of the
scrimmage, the Ichabod stock took a
considerable slump when Gene Wilt
pigue cracked one of his ribs Willy
was put out for a part of last season
with injured Stats and it is feared
that injuries received yesterday will
keep him out for some time to come,
possibly permanently. And WaShburn
without Willy at fullback will be much
weaker than with him in the game.
An Old Man Back.
However. as an offset for the de-
preston caused by the accident, it was
announced that Bob Hasty, a 161
pound half back who was in school q
few years ago and who is now back,
might come out Also, it was rumored
that Major Glueck might don the
moleskins in an effort to help out and
to reduce his "avd-poise.'
Washburn followers are INDUCING
in much speculation as to the outcome
of Saturdays game with Cooper col
lege- The fact that Cooper is a small
school has led many to think the
IchabOdS would have an easy time, but
word comes to Topeka that the team
is strong one, and Coach Weede's
reputation as a coach who can make
good team out of slim material 3
we'll known in Topeka.
Sullivan Out Again.
The exact hour of the Cooper game
has not been announced, but it will
probably be at o'clock. L. NJ. Jones,
superintendent of telegraph, of the
Santa Ee, was among the spectators
on the sidelines Wednesday afternoon.
Next Saturday week Washburn will
go to Baldwin to play Baker and the
Saturday following that the Ichabods
journey to Lincoln, Neb., to play Ne
braska- Sullivan, the new man who
is expected to assume part of Captain
BeaFs burden at quarter, was out
Wednesday afternoon and ran the
team part of the afternoon.

INDIANS VS.. K. u.
Haskell Scrimmaged With the
Jayhawkers Wednesday.
"Pete" Reedy Has Bone Broken
in His Hand.
BY PAUL BRINDEL.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. S0.-Coach
0lcGtt,s K =. football eleven and the
Haskell Indians tangled Wednesday
afternoon in the first practice scrim-
mage of the season, and for the first
time in several years the K. U. rooters
were able to see a Crimson and Blue
eleven superior to the redskins.
Because of an agreement between
the rival coaches there was no attem pit
made by either team to push across
a touchdown. However, the forty
minutes practice, short as it was,
gave the Jaykawlxer eleven a chance
to show a powerful defense, something
Kansas teams in recent years have
been sadly lacking.
Both teams were handicapped be-
cause of the slippery, muddy field,
but while the Indians had a slight ad-
vantage on more spirited charging, the
K: U. eleven more than made up for it
with a more versatile attack.
Reedy's Hand Broken.
An examination Wednesday after
noon showed that pete" Reedy, the
1876 pound guardsman who was in
Jured in Scrimmage Tuesday, is suffer-
ing with a broken bone in the back
of his hand. The injury is expected
to keep him out of the game for sew
eral weeks at least. Although playing
his first year on the Varsity squad
Reedy had showed up so well that he
would have probably faced William
Jewell in the opening game Satur-
day.
The X. u lineup which will face
William Jewell Saturday will he an
nounced tomorrow night. Because of
the big squad it is expected that at
least forty players will be used in this
opening battle.
A monster football rally, the first of
the season, to help get up pep for
the opening game, will be staged Fri
day night in the Frazer Hall chapel.

cheer leader, will be back to lead the

by Coaches Olcott, Bond, McCarty

students out for this rally than the

outside of giving Zupke's men a good

predict for Saturdays battle. From
their showing made Saturday. and
