What the Effect Of House Bill No. 1A1
WOuld Re Here.

Would BE Here.
School Director ID. A. Spencer, Superin-
tendent Barnard and Secretary Whitney
returned Wednesday evening from Olym-
pia whittier they went to protest against
the passage Of house bill No. 141, which
proposes to levy state tax of 81 mills
for school purposes. the proceeds to be
divided amongst the counties according to
school population.
This bill, if it should become a law"
said Professor Barnard yesterday. would
work n great injustice upon Seattle, Ia
coma and Spokane. 1t would take 1000
from this city to be expended in maintain
ing schools in the country districts. The
result would be that the quality Of our
school work here would be greatly i'm
paired; or else, to maintain it at its
present standard, the local school
tax will have to be increased IA
mills. Now, it is . great injustice
to impose such = heavy burden upon
the cities. l recognize the difficult
ties under which the country schools
labor. and sympathize with them. But
they are the difficulties incident to pioneer
work of all sorts and grow naturally from
our principles of local seif-government
and support. If the principle sought to be
applied by this bill were to be generally
adopted throughout the country, the
wealthy communities of the East could
with equal justice be taxed to develop and
support the newborn commowealths of the
West However, granting that the cities
should do something for the country dis
tricts, owing to the enieebled condition of
the latter, the amount sought to be i'm
posed upon the cities is too large The
limit to such a tax should no; be more
than 1 mill. and the privilege o. local tax
atom for school purposes ex tended"

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

Urgent Needs Of the Institution-Note
From tho Departments.
The house committee on state university
is expected to come over from Olympia to-
day to inspect the university buildings
and grounds in this city.
The need of more room and better facili-
ties for efficient work in this institution is
very urgent. Prof Taylor says that fully
500 more students could have been adj
United this year it there had been accom-
modations for them and if they had been
able to pass the necessary examinations.
There is now not room enough to hear all
the classes and President Catch has to
take his classes to his residence for recita-
ton. A great many more ladies would at
tend the university, Miss NJ. E. Wyckoff
says. if there were boarding accommoda-
tons for Them
If the legislature determines to use the
present buildings and grounds any length
OF time, the faculty are of the opinion
that another building should be erected
large enough for reading room and
library, chemical and ply sicai laboratories
and four recitation rooms. Several thou
sand dollars could also be very profitably
expended in securing more apparatus, es-
pecially for the departments Of physical
science and chemistry.
Marked improvement in the work of the
various literary societies has resulted
from the supervision given to it by Miss
Louise Frazer. who mas been devoting con-
siderable time to critlcising the work of
pupils before public presentation.

are also receiving special instruction in
