TROUBLES OYER.
University has solved the prob
lem of it's future growth.

State tax on corporation charters to
be increased Large burden taken
from the shoulders Of the tax payers
of the state-0ther institutions unite
to pass the bill-Bill drawn by Mr..
Sturgiss-Its proyisions-No opposi-
ton developed.
The University sees the end of its
troubles with having to get money
from the legislature. A bill is now
pending before that body which will
be law in few days, perhaps hours,
and we will be independent of the leg.
islature as far as having TO ask them
for money every time they meet is
concerned.
The bill provides for an additional
tax on corporations formed in this
state On domestic corporations the
new rate is to be twenty-five dollars
instead of ten AID on foreign it is to
be one hundred instead Of fifty The
resultant revenue is to go to the Uni
versity exclusively and this is all that
the University is to ask except for the
purchase of land.
The money is to be used for num-
Der of things which are set forth in
the bill and these are about everything
about the institution that needs
money except the additional land
which is needed. The solution of
the problem by such simple remedy
is all the more satisfactory. 1t will
not add one cent to the burden of tax
alton but will reduce 1t and will en-
able the University to go ahead with
some assurance that it will have
money enough for its support. There
is no opposition to the bill
The University has made friends
with all the other institutions in
stead of antagonizing them by with
drawing from the scramble for the
spoils in the treasury.
There are two million dollars asked
for by the various departments of the
state. To meet these requests there
will be less than one million. This
shows how they will all have to be
pared down. The smaller will COM

absolutely require all that they have
asked for will get left.
The University representative, Mr..
Sturgiss who drew the bill after it had
been suggested to him has arranged
with the other institutions for their
support for the bill and on the other
hand the University will only ask for
twenty-five Thousand dollars. This
is for six thousand to finish the North
Wing which is already under contract,
fourteen thousand to buy land already
under option and five thousand to
pave the streets on the grounds. All
Of these relate in some way to the
land. To this compromise everyone
agreed.
All the friends of the institution
will rejoice to learn of the peace and
plenty that is ahead of us and to hope
that the new era which is dawning
will prove as rosy as it now appears to
be.

iSN HVhS udtS anu TIE mercury Will
rise again-Warm wave coming from
the home Of the present blizzard
Terrible hardships ON all who have
been forced to be ont in the open air
There is good time coming.
The back bone of the cold spell is
broken. We are TO have warm
weather again. 1t will be several
days perhaps before it comes and
the full wave may get side tracked
before it hits US good and square
but we have something more endur-
able than the terrible blasts through
which we have been struggling for
the past eleven days.
The weather bureau has announc-
ed than a warm wave is on its way
east and that we will begin to feel
it shortly. The mercury has begun
to warm up and the weather may be
expected to be all right in few
days.
The jump upward in some places
has been as abrupt as the fall was.
1t went up fifty degrees in one place
and forty in another. The wave is
all over the country and is wedge
shaped. The southern part of the
state is getting the point of it to-day
and we may expect it tomorrow.
The warm wave has come from
the same place as the cold one we
are now having and as the factory
knows what it is doing the chances
are that it will be a first class one.
If there is no rain the snow may be
expected to go off gradually with
out any disastrous floods but if a
rain comes with the increasing
warmth the consequence will be
very disastrous.
The ice on the river is very hard
and thick and it will tear everything
out of its way unless it is softened
before it starts. River men are
very much alarmed at the outlook.
Stockmen and farmers are very
glad to learn that the weather is to
moderate. People have a hard time
of it III the open air such days as
we have had. Coal is running short
in many places and the water pipes
are. exploding in every direction.
The only people who have enjoyed
it are the people who have sleds to
hire and the ice men Both of them
see that they cannot have much
more fun out of it as the memorable
cold snap of February $50 is on its
last legs if we are to believe the
weather reports.
