Efforts Will Be Made to

fighting APPROPRIATIONS
Large Sums, However, are Appropriat-
ed for the Different State Schools.
Some of the Matters Vet to
Come up,

In an article yesterday discussing
! the appropriations Of the legislature
for different schools of the state the
Atlanta Constitution says:
There is every evidence OF a comina
fight in the house over the common
school fund. An element in. every
objection that has been made to ap
preparations already passed on by the
house, has been the fear that it would
operate against any increase in the
amount to be given the common
schools
Mr.. Moses of Coweta, after an unsuc
cessful fight to bring the school APP
preparation up ahead of all others,
offered in the house yesterday an
amendment to increase the common
school fund from $685. 900 to $1,000
GOO. The amendment was read for in.
formation.
Sentiments expressed by several
members yesterday Indicate that they
are going to make "A determined fight
for the million dollar school fund
Opponents of any increase are going
TO urge the fact that this year the com
mon school fund will get nearly $3.50.

This is by no means going to satisfy
the advocates ofas@@ana. money for
schools and thWoutcome 3 going to

which will loubtedly carry the gen

week.
The feature of the work of the
house on the general appropriations
bill yesterday were the defeat of the
effort to cut the appropriation Of
$330000 to the state sanitarium and
the defeat of those who endeavored
to cut the archaeological school which
was left at $4,000 as asked.
Another very persistent effort was
made to put the common school fund
to the front in order to have it acted
on before the appropriations to other
institutions were passed. Two amend
ments to put the school fund para
graph at the head, instead of at the
end Of section 4, were ruled out of or
der by Chairman Steed, and the par
agraphs were taken up in regular
order as they appeared in the bill.
Mr.. Steed, of Carroll, offered an
amendment to cut the amount for the
Georgia school for the leaf from $780,
600 to $4,000. He proposed to fight
every increase in appropriations to
institutions until the common schools
were properly treated. Upon learning
that there were no other bills for the
support of the school for the deaf, Mr..
Steed asked permission to withdraw
the amendment. but Mr. Daniel of
Emanuel objected He too, proposed
to fight al Increased appropriations
in the interest OF the common schools
After some further debate, Mr. Daniel
withdrew his objection and the para
graph carrying 100000 for the school
for the deaf was passed.
Santarium Gets $33o.0oo.
When the house resumed work on
the general appropriations bill at the
afternoon session, Chairman Davis of
the appropriations committee, offered
an amendment making the appropria
ton to the state sanitarium $325000,
the same as last year
Mr. Howard of Baldwin, opposed
any reduction whatever, and kept up
his earnest and vigorous fight for the
amount first asked for Mr.. Howard
made strong presentation of his case
and the action of the house was large
ly due to his efforts.
Mr. Gross, of McDuffie, continued his
argument for the full appropriation
asked. OF all its institutions he said,
the state could least afford to be mig
gardly with this institution where it's
unfortunate WdIuS WClG NalNh AOl.
All OF the amendments beginning
with that of Mr.. Davis for $225000I
and ending with that of Mr.. Hall, forI
100000 were voted down one by one
and the section carrying an appropr-
alton of $4,000 was adopted, receiv-
ing SO votes or one more than a con-
stitudonal majority.
Two years ago it was the house
that cut the state sanitarium down toI
$500 900, when $4,000 was asked and
it was only by vigorous fight on the
mart of the senate that an appropria-
toin of $685. 900 was carried through.
Now the house has come forward and
given the full amount asked for the
institution by Mr.. Howard, OF Bald
win. There is practically no doubt OF
the senate's confirming the action OF
the house.
The appropriation of the usual 49,
600 to the state university OF funds
from the United States government
was approved.
