The idea of a real state university is incon- sistent with the charging of tuition fees to all the students, as is planned at the University of Wash- ington. State universities have sprung up in this country because it was realized that the youth of the poor could not afford expensive college train- ing. In most universities, supported by the state, STAR—TUESDAY, DEC. 2, WH PAGE & Why This Plan to Charge Tuition at the University of Washington? the students are largely self-supporting. At the local university, there probably is as high a percentage as anywhere in the country of students who are self-supporting, entirely or in part. Fully 75 per cent of the men and women, it is estimated, have to work their way through the University of Washington.

But a wonderful thing has just happened in Cleveland, O., | where a pool of philanthropic millions, known as the Cleve- | tand Foundation, has been put under partial public control. The experts of this fund have flatly reported their revolu- Hionary belief that poverty is a community responsibility and) hat, therefore, the relief of poverty should be provided at public expense. | : The way to force people into considering seriously the causes of poverty, they argue, is to tax them for its relief. Hence they recommend that the city take upon itself the whole duty of raising and administering poor relief. Couple with this an effective stopping of tax dodging, and | you will have the ideal plan. 3 At present, under private charity, surplus wealth gives "only what it feels that it can spare and operates as a check upon the radical stydy of poverty’s causes. 3 But if the people, instead of the plutocrats, did the taxing, it would be to their interest to have the causes of poverty cor-| | rected as soon as possible; for the sooner the poverty was lessened, the sooner would their tax burden decrease.

The German retorted that the Frenchman was a Ilar, whereupon admitted the weight of it, but suggested that It would have been better had the tin been a full one. later a full tin fell a little way in jerman, who was half-famished and by after it, only to find that the Frenchmen had tied a string to it, whereby they were able to keep it out of his reach. A roar of laughter went up and a voice called to him that If he wanted sardines he must come to the French lines to eat them. The German hesitated, and then came and ate, after which he was allowed to return. Virginia Ot, and Eighth Av., Beattie.
