There is nothing to be gained by an attempt to pass the buck to other taxing bodies It is especially inopportune now when tl e appropriations for the state are being held up becaute the execu. tive office insists that it shall receive a larger sum than other governors have enjoyed; and when the other state bureaus that have been instituted by the governor are protected from lessened appropriations by his influence. . * " • It is true that thé state demands but $3,000,000 from direct taxation while other taxing units take ten times as much. The other units perform at least ten times the service to the people. ’ Ordinarily the smaller taxing bodies return more for each dollar spent than do the large ones »nd this is true in this state - It b also true that when the total sums taken from the ceople through all the many indirect taxes are counted the state is sail a very materia tax spender The $9,3.39,616 dollars in the budget approved by the governor and the $43,110,291 approved for the so called self sustaining activities will undou tedly come from the people in s ine manner It is a tax just as much as if it was on the tax statement and came from the sheriff.

However, there wilt be no prog ram this Friday because of the work on the student body plays which will be presented in the near future. The main feature of the program was a pantomime, "The Shooting of Danger ous Dan McGrew.” The rapid grow th oi t he practice of using some sort of money other than the official kind may be valuable in these times.
