"WilI these increased appropriations
deadlock the two houses?" asked a cor
respondent OF DIR. Tubbs shortly after the
report OF the senate committe was made
public. 4 look OF contempt crept over
the face OF the Usage county retrencher
and he made reply by asking this ques-
tion:
"Don't YOU suppose those fools over on
| the senate side will recede when they dis
cover there is no money in the treasury
to meet the appropriations"
The senate committee concurred in the
| house amendments to the Yeater bill,
creating a non partisan board OF curators
for the State University, and passed the
bill as II came from the house. AS the
bill now stands Prof. Woodward, OF
Washington University, president OF the
state University board, is eligible to
re- e-appointment. The board OF curators
hereafter will consist OF nine members,
not more than five OF whom will come
| from the same political party, and the
bill ms enacted into law Is identical with
the measures originally introduced.
The house objected to an amendment
tackled onto the original bill by Senator
Harrison, which provided that no person
connected with any other educational
institution should be eligible to appoint
ment ON the board.
The house killed the Bittinger bill
placing the agricultural college at Column
bia under board OF managers to be
appointed from the state board Of agri-
culture. The vote was 81 to IS.
Senator Yeater has again proven him
self the friend OF the University by secur-
ing the passage OF an act for endowment OF
the University and for the establishment
OF free scholarships OF merit in every
county. The act is OF more importance
to the University than anything since the
refunded direct tax endowment.
The act which is now law provides
that all inheritances other than from rel
atives, will be subject to the payment OF
a collateral succession tax OF IS for each
500 OF the clear market value OF the
property. Corporations other than those
formed for benevolent, fraternal, educa-
tional, scientific or religious purposes,
must pay to the state treasurer for the
purposes Of the scholarship fund twenty
five cents for every thousand dollars OF
the capital stock. Manufacturers of
patent medicines are required pay a
license tax OF US, and travelling vendors
of patent medicines are assessed s2 for
each period Of six months. Moneys
which may hereafter escheat TO the state
after claimants are barred by the statute
oil limitations to go to the scholarship
fund.
The several county courts Of the state
and the mayor, auditor and treasurer of
the city Of st. Louis are required to keep
the moneys raised by the provisions of
the act as q permanent fund and invest
II either as required by law for coanty
school funds or in United States bonds.
The income Of the moneys in the univer-
sity scholarship fund are to be collected
annually, one-fourth Of the income
must be added to the principal and the
remaining three-fourths appropriated for
establishing and maintaining free
scholarships.
i The manner In which the scholarships
Il are 70 Be determinsd is thus outlined:
