OF the university the sum of $40 900 for
/ each year, and substitute for the amend
ment to approprite $50 1875 for each
4 year
/ Mr. Childers opened the discussion and
I spoke against the proposed appropriation.
1 He declared that he was not an enemy OF
the university, but was a better friend OF
the poor boys and girls in the common
schools of the state. He did not believe
In the policy that provided but $3.50 for
each pupil in the common schools for an
entire term and allowed $iS15 per mon II
for each university pupil. There were
thirty teachers In the university whose
combined salaries amount TO $50 005,A per
annum. This amount would afford $3.50
per pupil for 20002 children in the public
free schools Abiding to the remark of
Mr. Wcoten in his speech last night TO
the effect that wherever the fight was be-
ing made against trusts university men
We're found In the lead he said that Mr.
Wooten, who boosted OF having been
through three universities had copied IN
Arkansas trust law and then, after this
opposition to the bill apparently became
formidable, he introduced an amendment
which would destroy the bill.
MI Palmer spoke in favor OF the appro.
priation. AS a poor man who had derived
all the educational advantages he enjoyed
from the institutions he was proud Of the
uuiNeIslty' but TOT IL ne would never
have had an opportunity for a university
education. He considered the Texas unit
Verslty the poor mans university. It's
graduates are to be found as leaders in the
pulpit, at the bar on the bench. He rep
resented n constituency made up in the
main OF poor people, and he felt that he
faithfully represented them In the course
pursued on this question. He defended the
proposed appropriation against the con-
tention that there is no constitutional war
rant for 1t. and appealed to the house 10
make liberal provision for its maintenance.
Mr. Savage opposed the appropriation
and insisted that the Legislature could not
AFFORD, with due regard to economy, to
make the appropriation. He occupied con-
siderable time in replying TO the argl-
ments previously made by Prince, Wooten
and others.
Mr.. Staples concluded the discussion for
the evening He spoke earnestly in sup
port OF the appropriation and defended the
university against the criticisms nnsve1
upon IL. He wanted the Texas university
