Cash For Schools. !.


st Paul The distribution OF spe.
cial aid which the state gives to vari.
Gus classes of schools was begun by
state Auditor lverson and and j. w.
Olsen. Most Of the schools receive
lesB than the law allows them because
the appropriation Is not large enough
to give each tho full amount. There
fore the appropriation mas been divid-
cd prorortionately among the schools
The same was done the past two
years, and the dcficiences for those
years were provided for by the last
legislature and will be paid at this
tine.
For the year ending July i, 1905, 174
high schools each received $1,000, or a
total of $20s, $50. This is $500 less
than the full amount each high school
may receive For the year 1903 127
high schools receive deficiency of $3.50
each, or $15,24a For the year 1904
Isl high schools receive a deficiency of
SITS each: or s:6.425 The total
amount distributed to high schools
this year is $260,3i5.
Ihere are 148 graded schools which
each receive 1926 this year or total Of
! 81, 700 There is no deficiency to be
paid the graded schools for the past
two years.
For the past two years 2s7 semi
! graded schools each receive $3.50, or
total of $780, This is $50 less than
the full amount that may be allowed
each school.
Raised Valuations.
The packing houses Jared badly at
the hands Of the state board of equali-

pany's assessment was raised so per
cent of spite Of the strenuous efforts of
the company's attorney, Frank 3. Kel-
| logg. He protested against the as
sessment of the company franchise, on
the ground that Swift e. Co. has no
franchise, and that is impossible t. as
sess a manufacturing company uoon a
franchise. Attorney General Young
was of the opinion that the license
given to foreign concern to do bust
ness in the state amounts to fran
chise and the tax valuation was boost
ed 50 per cent The matter will be
fought out in the courts.
