Thirty-three fraternities and so- rorities at the University of Iowa have risen- in protest against the property tax levied on these organ- izations, and have petitioned the tax board for reduction and equal- ization of taxes. This demand is not only entire- ly reasonable and absolutely jus- tified, but it is within the legal rights of the organizations affect- ed. According to the letter of the Iowa law, institutions not organ- ized for profit should be exempt from taxation, especially when they fill a definite housing need at a state university, all of whose property is tax free and whose em- ployees pay no income taxes. Yet these fraternities are not demand- ing complete exemption, but mere- ly a reassessment which would be less prohibitive and fairer as com- pared to the assessments on other city property. The same condition, identical in all execept a few minor details, ex- ists here at Michigan. The chief difference-and it is a most vital .one-is in the composition of the student body itself. At Iowa the students have exhibited enough initiative and energy to write up a petition and present it to the tax board; even if their attempts to at- tain a reassessment fail, they will at least have had action and will know that definite steps have been taken toward their objective. E The inertia of the student body in general and the fraternity body in particular is inexcusable. The matter of tax exemption was once taken up rather vigorously, but the spurt soon died out when it was found that such a plan was impos- sible of passage in even the most intelligent Mvichigan legislature... . Since that time. the matter of elections have been disputed. 01i--I cials in all ranks have accused of bribery and embezzlement. Moreover, an organized and pow- erful underworld, one which seem- ingly has no desire and no need for secrecy, has become the cause of very .much shoulder-shrugging and very little official action.I It is impossible to tell whether the laxity of certain government officers is responsible for "the pros-1 perity of the underworld. But ru- mors are rife. It is certain that4 there is a great deal of smoke andC there may be a fire. Suffice 'it to say that the recently instituted Campaign for Good Citizenship comes at a well chosen, time. It is an essentially non-par- tisan and non-religious movement. Its aim is to jar the citizens from their complacent disregard of pub- lic affairs. By stimulating interest and increasing the electorate, it proposes to outvote any minority which may control the government for selfish purposes. oo Don't overlook State Street, Depot, or Plymouth Road. * 'u si' the bus driver try to park any- where?

In an effort to realize the intel- lectual tone of the campus, Rolls is instituting a poetry contest. In this space there will appear at in- tervals poems on campus topics calculated to improve the esthetic sensibilities of the public and af- ford outlet to the pent up emotions Iof poetic students.

It is reported that a somewhat larger crowd enjoyed Edward Ab-, ner Thompson's reading of Cyrano de Bergerac last' night. But on the whole, this series-a new and valu- able adjunct to the university pro- gram in dramatics-has been poor- I ly received. On next Tuesday a man closes; the series who has been for some years the foremost representative of the best expression in the Amer- I ican platform art. Henry Law- rence Southwick' has been long President of the Emerson College of oratory in Boston. His Shake- speare readings have been annual occasions in several of the leading universities in the country, looked forward to eagerly by a large por- tion of the campus. Mr. Southwick is to read Shake- speare's King Lear, which definite- ly marks his appearance of some- thing of an occasion. From the time of Lamb's famous generaliza- tion to Bradley's apologetic atti- tude on the matter, the productive- ness of King Lear has been a con- troversal matter. A large portion: of Shakespearean lovers have in- sisted on the total adequacy of the theatre to Shakespeare's imagina- tiop in this play.
