Bismarck, Feb. l8, (Special)-The
senate committee on appropriations
have decided on the apportionment
of the one mill cational institu-
tion tax, which is of interest to all
such schools in the state. The ap-
portionment is recommended as fol-
lows:
The university loses seven hun
d1edths of mill, leaving its per
centage .33; the agricultural college
gets 20, no change; the Valley City
Normal receives. Is an increase of. 03;
Mayville Normal, .l3 an increase of
.Ol; school of forestry gets .02, a loss
Of .Ol; the deaf school gets .O6, loss
of .O7; uhe school of science, .O4 and
industrial school .07.
The change means a loss to the
university of $4,000 revenue. 1t is
stated that Senator. Plains initiative
and referendum bill which passed
the senaLe..is modelled after the Mont
ana bill which requires petition
signed by fifteen per cent of the vo.-
| ers for a referendum. 1t is not re-
garded with great favor by the ad-
vanced advocates Of the initiative
| and referendum, who prefer the Ue-
land bill which has already passed
the house.
A petition to Senator Gilbe, /
chairman Of the railroad committee
was read before the senate. The pc
! titioners were against the passing of
2 cent or 215 cent rate bill ,claim-
ing that. the roads had reduced
| freight rates materially during the
! cast wear and that..a.. forced. reduction
in passenger rates mean higher
! freight rates and poorer service.
A petition from l1S Traill county
voters asked the senate to pass the
proposed armory appr0prlation..blll.
The only new bill introduced in the
senate today was a concurrent reso-
LUTON bill by Rice providing for the
raising of the debt limit Of the state
from 5000, 900 to one fourth of one
per cent of the assessed valuation.
The house passed the following
measures:
| A bill requiring railroads to light
depot platforms before and after the
