revealed a rather interesting situa-
tion in one of the congregations oil

dicap the vacation social period dis
closes the fact that no less than
thirteen different educational insti-
tutions of post-academic grade are
represented, ranging all the way
from universities and colleges to
technical and religious schools OF

Mills
THAT PERMANENT INCOME

The need of better system OF
financing the state schools of high
er education was emphasized at
the X. U. banquet and 1t is an es-
sentiaI demand for Kansas.
A permanent income IL derived
by placing tax no larger than
present appropriations on all the
property valuation of the state. In
stead of asking the legislature with
all its personal wants and lack OF
specific info. nation to set aside
every two years an uncerta In amount
to maintain the educational institu-
tions, this ~ would levy part of
mill on the taxable property OF
the state
Because &C the fact tina. the pro-
duct of the Income NAV be used for
the institution named and nothing
else, each institution knows to GER
tainty how much its permanent in
come will be each year.
II would mean that the useless
campaign every two years to edu-
cate a new legislature as to the
fundamental needs OF the educa-
tional institutions would be at an
end. It would not mean further ap-
for new buildings and
could not be asked
for and would not he granted. But
the permanent income would Insure
sufficient moneys TO defray the or
binary needs OF the school.
Such a bill can only be made
possible by a constitutional amend
ment. The matter must first be pre-
sented to the legislature in order
that it may be, by them, submitted
to vote of the people at the next
general election when 1t will appear
on the ballot as proposed amend
ment to the state constitution.
The childishness Of making a
every two years to get
enough money to run the schools is
1t only remains for the
legislature to give the people a
chance to express themselves on the
matter and our schools will be
placed on a business basis.

WANT IRELAND FREED
FROM ENCLAND'S RULE
Natives to Ask Separation at
War Peace Farley, Says
Mrs. SkeffingtOn. d.

Methods used by the British in putting
down the recent revolt In Dublin have
strengthened in ireland the demand for
separation from England, according to
Mrs. F. Sheehy skeffington, wife of the
Irish editor shot to death in Portobeilo
barracks.
Many people there who believed that
home rule would right Ireiand's wrongs
now are convinced that Ireland must be
"a separate nation.
Our great aim is to have the Irish
question brought up In the international
conference at the close Of the war"
Mrs. Skefiington said yesterday. "If the
rights Of Belgium and Poland as ma tions
are to be considered. why should no.
those OF ireland? The English cannot
pass 1t on by saying that the Irish
problem Is merely a personal quarrel
within their own domain. The Irish
nave been fighting for nationality for
$40 years. The fight will be renewed
and continued.
NO solution Of the Irish question can
De found BY the new Government which
VIII induce more Irish to fight for Eng
iand. Not that We are pro-German We
are pro-lrish. with n leaning TO the Ger
man catch phrase freedom Of the seas
because We know that only when the
seas are free can Irish nationalism BE-
achieved"
Mrs Skefiington will lecture in Car.
nesie Hall on January s.
