Q A budget system for appro-

University Class
DraUs Up Platform,

Fayetteville, May 22.-The politi-
cal parties class taught by Prof.
David Yancy Thomas at the Univer-
sity of Arkansas, has drawn up a
non-partisan platform which it Of
fers to the lawmakers of Arkansas.
This class is composed of IT Demo-
Gratis, three Republicans and two
Independents. Discussing the plat
form today, Professor Thomas said !:
First, each group drew up its
party platform and then asked
them to try their hand on one or
which all could agree and this is the
result. Some of the planks were
not adapted unanimously, nor was
the division along party lines. 1t is
their work, not mine, as care
fully avoided trying to influence
them in this work"
Following is the platform.
Economy is Favored

TX. We favor more stringent laws

campaign funds received and ex-
pended by and for candidates TOT

nation for office in all general and
primary elections in the state.
x. We believe that the state
should cooperate with the Federal
government to the fullest extent in
the strict enforcement of the bone
dry law.
XII. We favor the enactment OF
vigorous anti-lynching laws and their
strict and impartial enforcement.
XII. We favor the abolition OF the

XIII. We believe that the state

existence of many evils in the pres

vor the rigid supervision OF all pen

XIV. We would encourage great

field of scientific farming and the
improvement of marketing facilities.
XIV. We believe that women, as

pate in all party and state politics

Blow to Farmers

AS the WaterYille Chamber of Com
merce has decided to adopt the daylight
saving idea it was thought advisable by
the Colby faculty to follow suit and
consequently this mornings classes will
start an hour earlier than usual The
idea of going TO an o'clock class at
seven does not appeal to very many OF
the students, but they are forced TO fol-
low the rest. In making the announce
ment to the students in chapel this
morning President Roberts passed lit
tie time in a short talk about the day
light saving scheme and the farmers.
Claiming that he spoke from experience.
the president said that the farmers were
justified in all their opposition to the
idea and attention should be paid to
their demands. Between the present la
Dor conditions and daylight saving the
farmers business is not even the gam
