HERE IS A new PLAN
Help Washburn Build Theater That
VIII Seat 10000 Persons.

Editor State Journal:
Every little while the question OF a
bigger auditorium come up, and like
Banquo's ghost, will not down. Nine
times out of ten the present one is
big enough, but the tenth time it is
far too small, as we have several times
lately witnessed. Probably If the
question of building a new one is sub
InItted to the people they will vote it
down, as they have in the past
Here is a suggestion that may or
may not be good: Washburn college
has among its plans for q bigger and
more efficient institution the building
of a Greek theater on its campus that
but has only partly enough money to
erect it. without doubt they would
welcome some financial help from To-
peka towards it's erection, and when
it is completed no doubt they would
be glad to let the city or any big gath
erings use it. why not start a move
ment to put it across and thus help
ourselves This is Topeka's college
and 1 have not heard lately of To-
peka breaking many of her speed laws
in an effort to help this most worthy
institution. - AS to getting out there
and back, it costs no more than it does
to get to Eighth and Quincy streets,
and no doubt in the case of big crowds
the street car company would be on
the Job to take the people back and
forth.
OF course, when the rain is falling
to hold meetings, but in that case the
present auditorium would be large
enough to hold all who wished to at
tend NJ. C. STEVENS.

WHAT HUN TERMS MEAN
BY ]. W. t. MASON.
(written for the United Press)

New York. April 27.-Germany's
reparations offer to the allies is a de-
ceptive effort to create an impression
that the allies terms have been sub
stantially met.
As a matter of fact. Germany has
camouflaged her offer in such a way
that il it were accepted, the allies
would probably receive less than one
half of their demands.
BY a piece of suggestive propa-
ganda. Germany has created the i'm
preston that she has offered to pay
the allies two hundred billion gold
marks. or fifty billion dollars. Ger
many has done nothing OF the kind.
By a complicated reference to interest
payments. the Germans have created
an entirely false impression in the
matter.
Germany's offer. stripped. OF decep-
tive phrases, is that she will pay the
allies 100000 gold marks,
which is twelve and a half billion dol
marks Immediately. She ALSO will
raise foreign and domestic loans at
once and will hand the proceeds over
to the allies. Germany promises to
make the domestic loan a big success
and she will surely bring great pres
sure to bear on all Germans abroad to
subscribe heavily TO the foreign loan
1t would cause no surprise If by
these processes, Germany could pay to
the allies $4,000. .000, 900 marks as soon
as the loans were completed. That
would leave $4,000, 100000 marks
more to be paid over a future term OF
years. with interest rate added. which
Germany suggests shall be per cent
The final 5000, 900, 900 marks would
be paid probably with sufficient ra Pid
ity so as not to make the interest
charges in the aggregate more than
-
the total interest charge Germany
would pay the allies might easily not
be more than $4,000. 00O,0 900 marks
This would make the indemnity re-
eeived by the allies $4,000, 0,O0o
marks in principal and $4,000, 900. GOO
in interest The total would be 10
600. .000.000 marks. or less than 40 pei
cent of the aIlies's demand

GOOD CROP WEATHER
Abundant Moisture and Sunshine
During Last Week Were Great
Aid to Kansas Wheat-Corn
Planting Is Delayed Two Weeks.
By 5. D. FIora. MeteOrologist.

Abundant moisture, mild tempera-
tIIfes and sunshine made this a splen-
did crop growing week in Kansas. ac-
cording to the reports of correspon-
dents of the weather bureau in the
different counties OF the state. High
winds-Blew on several days, but re-
suited in no serious damage. Soak
ing rains fell in the eastern third and
some of the central counties. while
the remainder of the state was gem
orally well supplied with moisture
from the preceding week.
Wheat is reported as in good con-
dition and now making a satisfactory
development, except some of the ex-
treme southeast counties, where the
ground is too wet, and some important
producing counties in the central por-
ton. such as Rice, Ellsworth and Sa-
damaged by the freeze 10 days ago
and prolonged dry weather, which
have been only partially alleviated.
Corn planting is in many localities
two weeks behind the season, but has
now begun over the southern third
as far north as Salina and Manhattan.
In the southeast portion Of the state
where, ordinarily, it would be COM
pleted by this time, 1t was again de-
layed this week by heavy rains on the
21st. Preparation of the ground is,
and a few warm. drying days will see
planters a work in all parts of the
state. Only a few of the extreme
southern counties report any corn up
yet
Barley was badly frozen ten days
ago but in the northwest section,
where the bulk Of the crop is grown,
il is beginning to grow slowly
Alfalfa is suffering greatly from
ravages of a species of green bugs in
the eastern and central counties and
the condition of the first crop is any
thing but satisfactory
Potatoes are coming up all over the
eastern half of the state and looking
good. excepting the southeast coun-
ties, where they were advanced enough
to get frozen back about ten days ago.
The advent of warm weather this
week developed the fact that apple
buds surviving the Easter freeze have
nearly all succumbed to the freeze of
the 9Th and nth, which greatly dam
aged other tree fruit Strawberries
were also injured, but not seriously.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP PLAN
City Wide Inter-Church Campaign
Will Be Considered by Ministers.

At its next meeting. the Topeka
Ministerial Union will be asked to con-
sider plans for a city-wide, inter-
church membership campaign, de-
signed to get as many Topekans into
the churches as possible.
The campaign, 1t is suggested
should follow the general plan of the
recent drive for-an increased member
ship of the Chamber of Commerce.
The movement, If it is carried out, will
be organized en- strictly scientific and
efficient lines. and its object will be
primarily the classification of the cit
izens of Topeka as to church MEM
bership. leaving 1t to the church or
ganizations themselves to enlist the
people who have declared their pref
erence for each denomination.
The plan has been proposed by Ros-
coe c. Ellis, organizer and leader In
can,paigns of all sorts. who has taken
a prominent part in the Chamber of
Comm erce membership drive.
Ellis believes that the church going
and church membership phase of civic
life is as important in the general
welfare of the city as good schools or
a good chamber of commerce.
1T will. make Topeka better city
and will make for a bigger and clean
er civic growth in the future Ellis
said. in discussing the plan.

cause of Slow Price Drop.
Export Trade Cut in Half
Within Five Months.

Atlantic City, n. J.. April 27.-The
Chamber of Commerce Of the United
states is working to establish the
open shop" in American industry.
Joseph H. Defrees. Chicago lawyer.
declared today in opening the ninth
annual convention of that organiza-
ton, of which he is president.
Defrees denied the chamber is seek
ing to destroy labor unions as claimed
by the American Federation of Labor.
Praises Kansas Court.
Defrees declared for reduction of
railway workers; approved the pro-
posal for legislation to force arbitra-
tion Of Industrial disputes; praised the
Kansas Industrial court as "an inter-
esting experiment" and hinted that
the country's business men may want
to abandon the principle of protec-
tive tariff
Development of American foreign
trade may be hampered by too high a
tariff. which would cause other ma
tions to discriminate against US, he
said.
According to Defrees, high freight
rates are mainly responsible for the
economic depression. but it must yet
be determined whether the rates can
be lowered.
Exports Cut in Half.
Within five months. Americas ex-
port trade has been cut nearly in
half" President John McHugh of the
Mechanics and Metals National bank
of New York, declared in an address
before the chamber. He said long
term credits to foreign buyers is the
only way to solve the problem.
There is close relationship. he said.
between the slump in foreign trade
and unemployment of labor here.
