MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE


or the forty-iive bills introduced IN
the lower house yesterday seven seek
to make appropriations for the sup
port of the common schools. and II
appears from the teaor OF these meas
uros that a fight is TO be made to Sc
cure reduction of the annual appro-
priation of 81 $50 600 for this purpose.
The amounts proposed in these seven
bills vary from 100000 TO $1,000, 600,
but the majority of them are for sums
less than 81 600 600.
Another educational movement OF
much interest is the five bills offered
the two bodies providing for an uni
form system of textbooks and Great
ing a commission for this purpose. A
scrutiay of the measure shows that
they are very similar In their general
provisions, and the two houses Will

FRIDAY. JANUARY is.

AS forecasted above, the lower house
refused to cut down the appropriation
for the common schools of the State
Notwithstanding the enactment Of the
constitutional amendment providing
that the poll taxes collected in the
counties shall be retained In the coun-
ties for the use of the common schools.
The bill as reported from the com
mittee on appropriations was called up
in the house shortly before the noon
hour. and the debate lasted less tnan
an hour. The majority report favor
ed an appropriation OF $1,125,0OO, or
sI25 900 less than the present annual
allowance. while the minority report,
signed by six members, favored the
original sum Of 81 100000. The latter
report was adopted and the bill passed
by a practically unanimous vote.
The passage Os this act makes about
81. $50. 600 available for the common
schools each year, including the poll
tax collections. II is not believed that
the amount will be changed by the SEN
ate.
