The SPEAKER: The language is unpsr-
liamentary, but / think the gentleman does

sald: The gentleman from Clsy, Putnam
and Hendricks seems to doubt the sincerity
of those who voted 70 have this bill returne d.
! made the motion 20 recall it, and did il
that the bill may be killed. | am willing TO
bear the responsibility of this. The best
thing to do with the bill is to kill it quick.
The vote was then announced as above.
So the motion 70 recommit was rejected.
THE AUTHORIZATION BILL.
The regular order being now reached for
bills on the the third reading
Mr.. PATrEN called up the bill q. r.
479l making general appropriations.
On his fur her motion the House resolved
itself into Committee OF the whole (Mr.
Adams in the Chair for the consideration Of
the bill.
The que, ion being upon an amendment
by Mr.. GOODING to an amendment by Mr..
SAYRE concerning the removal OF officers
OF the Knightstown Institute
Mr.. LLOYD said: As the bill concerning
the Knightown Institute has passed, think
the amendments unnecessary.
Mr.. GOODING withdrew his amendment
TO tie amendment, and on his motion the
latter was rejected.
Mr.. LLOYD offered an amendment that the
item for repairs at the Kuightstown Insti-
| tute be 50 300 instead of 50 600.
The amendment wasirejected.
PURDUE UNIVERSITY.
Mr. GORDON moved an amendment TO
strike out the item giving S24, 600 to Purdue
! University. He said: ! move ID strike this
! out and leave 1t blank SO that it may be
! filled by q smaller sum. IL there is one sim
Gle good reason why the anpro priatIon for
| Purdue thould be increased, l would like to
| know it. There has been standing to-
! gether here for legislative log-rolling.
/ Mr.. BARNEY This standing together OF
rival State institutions is good for them, but
| death on the taxpayer.
! Mr.. FRENCH. The gentleman from Put
| nam Mr.. Gordon should be generous enough
to say what there should be, il too large. 1!
may be that by cutting off these State insti-
tutioDs that sectarian institution will be
helped. There has been a question raised
that Purdue University is not State insti-
tuition. Ii so, this appropriation should not
be given. But the history of Purdue shows
| it to be a State institution. Two years age
| President White wanted S25, 900 from the
/ State, and when this was refused, he resigned
and turned il ever TO the State. Professor
/ James II. Smart was then chosen President.
i 1t is not strange that upon the growth of the
institution that more money should be
asked.
| T.
! these members had visited Purdue, and had
seen the progress there, they would not Oh
ject to this item. / was preiudiced against
the institution before visited it, but soon
changed my opinion.
Mr.. FRANKLIN: We need the sciences
as taught at Purdue University. The science
of farming is successful at this day. Machin.
cry has so been applied to agricultural pur.
suits that men should know the underlying
! principles. We need schools to discover
these principles. Purdue University does
that to certain extent. The members on
the floor should see to it that these institu-
tons are protected.
Mr.. LLOYD: The point has been made that
Purdue University is State institution, not
! whether Bloomington is q State institution
or not, but from Ripley County the ides
looks TO Us that TO pay these large sums f.
the education of the small numb
of students that annually attten
these institutions is not just. Fifty countiel
are not represented in these State institu
tions and il is IN Just that all the countte.
should be taxed for the support OF these in
situations. Until / see the time that the IL
dustrious people OF Ripley County, who ar
always able 10 pay their taxes aud send g.
their children TO the common schOols-unti
! l see the time that children all have sufh
cient clothing through long winter liks
this-I am not in favor OF supportin
| these supposed State institutions. II is nc
worthy OF men to come here Ia the garb
protecting education and ask for money f.
these Institutions under the plea that tuition
is free, II these Institutions can not liy'
without these large sums let them die, anC
the sooner the better. Suppose, 10 put 1t a
the hest, that every county IN the state il
represented by the few pupils in these insti
tutions are the colleges then worth the sum
they COST 1t is peculiar idea to foste
these institutions VI der the gsrb of uphold
ing education. 1t is time to throw AVA
such tactics.
On motion of Mr.. COPELAND the com
mittee arose, the Chairman reported pro
gIess. and asked leave for the Committee o
the Who to sit again at o'clock.
The report was concurred in by tn
House
And then came recess for dinner.
