grand outlay for appropriations made
there is an estimated revenue OF
81, 160, 600, and a two mill deficiency
levy provided by a law passed at this
session for an amount equal to the
constitutional limit of two mills on
the dollar. According to the estim-
ates this should furnish a revenue
during the next biennial period of
So, 900, 900, and this would cover the
amount Of the appropriations.
Besides this Carroll's amended bill
provides for raising the assessment as
returned by an amount equal to $780,
600, 900. Bergs' bill taxing corpora
tions is also intended toincrease the
revenues by a considerable amount.
In addition to new laws covering the
question Of revenues the legislature
has taken steps to solve the problem
OF investment Of the permanent
school fund by providing for a consti-
tutional amendment permitting a
loan of $1,000 TO any party where the
limit is now 81, 600, and also with
drawing one half of the lands from
sale and leasing for a long term, as
well as investing the moneys in all
evidences of the states indebtedness.
As this proposition effects a fund now
amounting to SIS, 100000 and which will
ultimately reach more than $50, 00O,-
600, it is generally considered that
the passage of the resolution is one
of the important pieces OF legisla-'
ton.
The location of the state fair at
Huron ard the encampment at Water
town extends the number Of the
states institutions permanently To-
Gated while the passage Of the capital
removal resolution places before the
people another evidence that the
state is not yet ready to settle down
aud begin keeping house in its own
palace. 1t is presumed that there
will be times in the coming two
years when the people may regard
this as the most important act Of
the eighth legislature.
A total of more than two hundred
bills have passed and either await
the governors signature or have
been signed and are nov on file with
the secretary Of state. Up to the
close of the session 103 bills and res
olutions had been placed on file as
laws, while others were in hands of
the governor, not less than so bills
being passed or amendments con-
Cured in ana handed to the COVER
nor during the last day. he has ten
days in which to examine these bills
