COLLEGE MILLACE TAX

One Cause of Crisis is the Remarkable
Increase in Number of Students.
Since the original millagei bill went
into effect in 1913, the number of full
time residence students at the Agricul-
turaI and the State University has in
creased one hundred and fifty per cent.
At the Agricultural College in 1913,
there were 1864 fulltime students;
there are now 1878. At the State Uni
versity in 1913, there were 691 fulltime
students, there are now 1745 The insti-
tutions have tried hard to make income
meet maintenance cost in the face of
this remarkable growth but have been
unable to do so.

THE HELPFUL RAIN

For months our state was dusty, no water fell
thereon; the wheat was brown and rusty, dried out
the sicky lawn And oft got together, with brlny
in our eyes, and cussed the sinful weather and all the
forecast guys. Pessimism brooded among us Tar
and near and it, alas included much language punk
to hear Sometimes the clouds assembled and made
a bluff at rain then how we stood and trembed and
hoped in vain! The fool winds came a-whooping and
blew the clouds away and we, with spirits dropping,
went weeping to the hay. And all our faith was
shaken in everything below; world had lost its
beacon. our heritage was VICE. And then at last the
water came tumbling from on high; Old Puvius, ne
shot her from somewhere round the sky All night
the rain was pouring and splashing on the lea; and
soon the rif were roaring in tunut to the sea- And
then you should haveseen us, how merriy we STROBE
the mudholes strewn between us, as we went up the
road Then all our griefs were banished as cheap
and tinhorn fakes, and pessimism vanished in less
than seven shakes.

SCRAMBLED JUSTICE

We are nation which stands for right and
justice.
But fear both are in rather scrambled con-
dtion today.
The average American who is not corporation
magnate or member of trades union is often
sorely puzzled 1t is difficult for him to know where
to let his sympathies drift and because of this SYM
pathy he often bottles it up and forgets about it.
Every day he reads about some strike other.
The employer tells his story, and it sounds plausible
The employee tells his side, and it sound> equally
plausible.
Judging clearly from the published statements
they both right but it is difficult to see how both
can be right and still one be wrong.
We're Solomon alive he could probably solve the
riddle. But Solomon is more, and none of us have
qualified to take his place as the wsest of men,
And in the meantime the strikes go merrily on,
with both sides right and both sides wrong and the
public gradually working itself up to the point where
it doesn't give DIN who is right and who is wrong.
Il Life is too short to scramble ones brain over
