verse report by the finance committee
was as follows:
The, finance committee recommends
that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
for, the reason that In the present flnan-
clal condition Of the state Its enact
ment into law would close the doors
Of several important institutions OF
learning, which are engaged In the
higher education OF the youth Of the
state; and further, that II Is not for
the promotion Of the welfare to op-
press by taxation institutions whose eff
forts are directed toward the promo
ton of knowledge and virtue, and the
highest good Of the race.
