BURCH IN DEFENSE
Son of Supreme Court Justice
Made Winning Plea.
Took Up Students Gauntlet in
Washburn Scandal"
HIS SPEECH WON The DAY
Faculty Melted Before Young
Mark Antony's Display
Hobo Day Will Now Be ''LegaP'
on the College Campus.

Horse play is not anarchy And 1t
is mistaken attitude on the part OF
some to assume, because students re-
move q few collars, that in later life
they will bare the adams apples OF
innocent citizens, to the bloody edge
of the guillotine," Angelus Burch,
Washburn senior, asserted at the
chapel exercises at the college today.
Burch was appointed by the students
to take up the cudgels of defense for
their antics during the hobo day
celebration Friday preceding the K. U.
football game.
Burch's speech was in answer to 2
talk by Doctor Womer, claiming that
such outbursts of gridiron enthusi-
asm furnished a basis of criticism OF
scheme of student self-government
and tended to make undergraduate
life one of lawlessness and disorder:
Horse play has its uses" Burch IN
formed the faculty who are DIS
gruntled over the breaking up of
classes and the removal of their haber-
dashery, many of whom were reported
to be in favor of chastising the ring
leaders. after some years personal
acquaintance with my father kno"
of his sentiments of law and order,
and those who come in contact with
Burch, who is the son of Justice r.
A. Burch of the supreme court, told
his hearers.
yet he has lucid moments when he
recalls with gee the football good
times of the old days at Ann Arbor,
when there was not a picket fence
within five miles of the college.
eve would recall that five of the
leaders in the hobo day came thru
with contributions of 500 in the pres
ent campaign" Burch then defended
the faculty against the assertions of
some students to the effect that they
were kill-joys and lacked college
spirit.
TT is a mistaken attitude on the
part of those who think that the facul-
ty is the natural enemy of mankind.
The faculty are with us-in their own
new fledged freshman, who has con-
tributed nothing but his presence to
the school. knock the professors who
have sacrificed heavily for the college.
The faculty are human and almost any
day can be seen eating hot dog and
chilli with their student friends at the
college inn. "
Hobo day was a big success" was
Burch's last shot. 1--WE should not
have broken up classes but if we had
part-holiday, it would have been
Forthcoming, he assures me-"
Following a call for a standing
pledge on the part of the students
that they would disturb no more
classes without forewarning, 400 par
Elephants in last Fridays revels arose.
Burch's speech is understood to
have dispelled the angry intentions of
the faculty at their weekly meeting
this afternoon, and Hobo day. will
be a lawful feature of future football
seasons
His talk followed a speech by Pres
ident Womer, expressing sympathy
with exhibitions of school spirit but
deploring the inconsiderate limits to
which it sometimes went

BUTTER, EGGS ON GRILL
of Elgin and Chicago
Boards Started by U. S.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Investigation of
the Elgin Board of Trade and of the
Chicago Butter and Egg board was
begun by United States District At
torney Clyne today.
Clyne is scrutinizing the activities
of the two boards to learn if they are
violating injunctions issued in 1914 by
Federal Judge Lands forbidding spec
ulation intended to boost prices of
produce.
The Chicago board shows a strong
bull movement in eggs for July and

current prices high, Clyne said.

Dinner at Pelletier'S.
The Governor Makes a Speech
to the Members.

Members of the 1917 legislature,
their wives and sweethearts will be
entertained by the Topeka Rotary
club shortly after the legislature con-
venes. A motion to this effect was
made by C. l.. Mitchell and was
adopted unanimously at the regular
dinner of the Topeka Rotary club at
Pelletier's tea room this noon.
The motion was made following an
address by Rotarian Capper in which
he urged that Topeka acquire the
habit of being more cordial to visitors,
placing emphasis on the cordially ex-
tended at the coming session or the
legislature. More hospitality was the
one need of Topeka emphasized by
Governor Capper and his realization
of that need came following a recent
political trip turnout the state in
which he visited every first and sec
ond class city in Kansas
-"Bill Webb and Bill Kelley do their
best" said Rotarian Capper- But
they can't do it all. take equal blame
with the rest if we really have been
lacking in hospitality to our visitors"
1t was Capper day at the Rotary
club President Voiland in introduce
ing the speaker told of the versatile
tactics of the governor in getting votes
in all parts of the state. He. spoke of
Capper in a Russian settlement and as
he talked Rotarian Eitelman hung on
the wall a cartoon of the governor
dressed in Russian garments. Car
ICONS of him as a Chinaman, as a
Turk, as an Englishman, as a French
man and as a suffragist were placed
on the wall during the Introductory
talk.
In addition to pleading for more
hospitality to visitors on the part of
Topeka, Rotarian Capper gave a part
of his 100 per cent efficiency cam
paign address, which resulted in so
big a majority for him over the Dem
ocrat candidates and the Republican
nominees, state and national, as well.
Lucius Wilson. who is conducting
the educational campaign for the new
Chamber of Commerce, spoke on city
building. He stated that cities can be
built wherever men want them. He
told of a dozen cities in the country
where the personality of their citizens
and not their natural resources made
them the largest cities in the country

INCREASEINTAxES
More Than $4,000 Gain in
Kansas for Santa Fe.
One Years Jump Small For
tune to the State.
HANDLE BIG DISTRICT HERE
Six-TenthS of the Total Mileage
Carried in Topeka.
On Each Mile of Track $56S
Was Paid in Taxes.

An increase of $57 1885 in the taxes
which the Santa Fe will have to pay
in Kansas. in 1916, over the taxes of
1915, is the estimate of Tax Commits
sioner Cartilage for this district. The
figure is only an estimate, however,
and the definite data on taxes assessed
against the road which is now being
gathered may change the estimated
amount considerably.
The district the taxes of which are
handled from Topeka, comprises the
middle portion of the United States
and includes about six-tenths of the
total mileage of the road. On this
six-tenths the road last year paid
taxes to the amount of $3,O20.125.
The estimate for the next years taxes
provides for an increase in the terri
tory of $4,000.
An increase of taxes for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1915. for the en-
tire system, amounted to 3 per cent.
according to the current number of
the Santa Fe Magazine. On 1919. "a
miles of track, the road paid, during
the fiscal year ending in June, S.
21O, 366.13. This amount was AGA per
cent of the total operating revenue, or
one-eighth of the net operating reve-
nue. for the year.
On Each Mile Track.
On each mile of track $56S.74 was
paid in taxes. a total am cunt equiva-
lent to 1877 cents for each second of
time; S11S2 for each minute
$70S.95 for each hour; ST., for
each day, and s517, 53O.51 for each
month.
The tax budgets are calculated and
charged up on the books, in months.
The taxes in most states thruout the
system are paid twice a year, but are
calculated on monthly basis. The
times of payment vary in different
states. The Santa Fe pays taxes in
more than sixty counties in the state
of Kansas, and a representative of the
road is now visiting these counties
with the object of securing definite
information on the taxes due there
The estimate of increase will be re-
adjusted as the information reaches
the tax commissioner.
Taxes from year to year show a
steady increase, the property of the
road increases in value, and as more
and more money is expended by the
states and counties.

In the City of Philadelphia There Are
More Rich Men Than in Chi
cago or Boston.

Last year four men in this district
paid a tax on incomes of over 81 ,OOO,-
900. remarks a writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger Seven others worried
along on from 100000 to $1,000,000.
Philadelphia and this suburban terri
tory had 175 persons whose incomes
exceeded 100000. In England and
Scotland combined there are only 300
persons whose yearly income exceeds
$4,000, but Philadelphia and these
eight neighboring counties had 506
persons enjoying incomes of that size
last year. Now that 20 per cent gain
about which Collector Lederer in
formed me will likely advance about
200 more persons into that $4,000 ex-
elusive set We reside in one of the
very wealthiest spots on earth. Why,
there are nine states in the Union
which do not have solitary individ-
nal with an income of even 100000.
No wonder they favor a high tax on
big incomes.
Collector Lederer also told me that
Philadelphia has many more very rich
men than either Chicago or Boston.
Those cities, however, show a large
number OF men earning fairly big sal
aries. All Massachusetts is in the Bos-
