However, a dispatch to the New York Sun reports tnat the motive for the Chinese farmers’ strike Is different from that of the boys in Iowa. The provincial government of Kiangsu needed money and had its own scheme to raise it. That scheme was to remeasure the land in order to increase the taxes. They passed a new law and sent out surveyors to remeasure the farm lands. And the curious thing Is that they were remeasured so that the farmers found themselves ovming more land than they thought they had. Usually you’d think that would please a man. But it didn’t make a hit vith the farmers in this province of China because it meant that they would have to pay more taxes. The angry agriculturalists swooped down upon the surveyors’ camp* burned their tents and smashed their instruments, and then M m * refused to see sell any of their produce and marched the city of Yang chow. CHINA 2 The city fatherordered the gates closed and barred. The result was that food supplies were cut off and a state of siege existed. Peace was restored when the provincial government called back the surveyors and decided to forget about the remeasurement of tne land. .

TheyTve been having a whale of an auction sale out in Chicago. Some four hundred thousand bits of real estate in Cook County were offered. They have been ordered sold for delinquent taxes'lS the year 1930,-- amounting to over one hundred million dollars. Theoretically this property is worth one and a half billion dollars. But there seem to be few buyers. Only ten thousand dollars in cash has been received by the Public Treasury as a result of this sale. ill I recently read is£ a couple of football articles that interested me paztiKHLisKiy particularly, fies&bfe. Stop me if you’ve heard them already. One was written by Gaius Shaver in Collier’s Weekly. Football fans may remember that Shaver was the All America backfield star % oft the University of Southern California s»=tSajes team IdZl. Shaver points out that the reporting of football games is larded with a heavy streak of criticism. For instance, he says hh young boys of nineteen to twenty-one are subjected to as drastic and severe condemnation, even abuse, as professional baseball players. For a baseball reporter to swat Babe Ruth when he muffs a fly is O.K. e^*)Bhe Babe gets paid eighty thousand ~lXcu a year for^ To treat college undergraduates, who are supposed to be amateurs and of whom undoubtedly not rational. Old Bill Mcdeehan in the liew York Herald Tribune also points out that the reporting of s\ football, reporting without animus, seems hardly to exist. on the air who describe football games with a plentiful accompaniment of raspberries, seem to be reflecting the mood of the cash customers. That is, the cash customers at the games. Joe Williams in the New York World Telegram comments on the fact that the annual &&& football game are amateurs, to the same sort of abus to block a kick or cafe! a pass, says Shaver, is obviously But the reporters both in the newspapers and between Vanderbilt and Tuulane, h&xxhxEK which has been one oi the big events oi the season in the Souths will not come off next year. Vanderbilt and T#ulane have severed relations. And the reason is that the last time Vanderbilt played Tj(nlane, the crowd gave the visitors the old Bronx cheer. Joe Williams adds "Even the soft nuances of the southland drawl did not make it any easier for beer but not boos. (Don't blame me for that one. It's A Joe Williams's.) He points out further that in the Argentine a football player who gets a boo takes a bow dispatch from La Plata in the South American Republic relates that a gentleman who refereed a soccer game the other day, refused to allow the home team, which was losing, a penalty kick. For this he was shot in the head and to take. Apparently, he says, t stand '>y‘ . because he's s* grateful to have nothing worse. A A * d, - d COLLEGES Fr@ecJ.oin of opinion and freedom of expression Leave much to be desired in the universities of the U.S.A. This statement was made today, not by a rebellious professor nor a bumptious UJidergraduate. It was made by Dr. Samuel Capen, Chancellor of the University of Buffalo. He said it to some 600 educators and representatives of learned societies who were people confuse tii* college with university. nIn many a universities”, declared Chancellor Capen, "the scholar or teacher who deals with subjects that are matters of public controversy and who states an opinion which shocks timid, conservative people, runs the risk of either suppression or instant dismissal”.

I CONGRESS During the last campaign much to—do ?/as made over Senators and Congressmen who unloaded their fond relatives on DncleSam* s payroll. Not only the newspapers but the rivals of these Senators and representatives Were unkind enough to publidi in full detail how much their families were drawing all together out of the public chest. Well, the news from Washington, now that the returns are in, shows that 60 of these affectionate Congressmen who are so solicitous about their relatives received the royal and noble order HixshK of the axe. In short, they were fired, bounced, canned^ some of them retired of their own free will, others retired, as Potash and Perlmutter used to say, by mutual consent However, there are still 109 gentlemen in the Congress who make the taxpayers nelp them support their families METEORS Astronomers, smoteur eij.ci professiona.X, h.a.d. e greve disappointment the last two evenings. They were all set for the visit of those famous meteors, the Leonids, from the constellation, Leo. But in Broadway language, the show was a flop. A few were seen from the Flower Observatory in Phila- „ delphia, and a few more at the Harvard Observatory. Dr. Clyde Fisher, President of the Amateur Astronomers Association and Curator of Astronomy at the Museum of Natural History, says he counted only 18 of them. The rest of them, says Dr. Fisher, failed to keep n their daje with the Earth. The theory is that tlu deserted us for our neighbor, Jupiter, which is the largest deserted us for our neighbor, Jupiter, which is the of all the planets we know.

He is only 24 years old, but he gives out the information that he is a scenario writer, a poet, a radio engineer and a dramatist.
