country involves: First, a permanent
fund; second, current fund.
The permanent fund is saeredly kept
intact, only the income from it being
used, while the current fund is depend
ed upon from year to year to maintain
the educational system.
The permanent funds are derived
largely from the sales or rentals of
land granted by congress, or from pub
lie lands of the State or Territory, but
also from a variety of special revenues
defined and set apart by statute.
The current funds are derived from
the income of the permanent funds, and
from taxes together with a large varie-
tv of special revenues defined and set
apart by statute.
The lands thus contributing to the
permanent fund are largely those that
have been granted, or that may here
after be granted by congress, but they
also include public lands in any way
acquired by the State or Territory.
Thus what are known In Alabama as
!" sixteenth section lands are avail
able. as may be provided by law for
either of these funds.
Prominent among other possible
sources of revenue under this head we
find property that may escheat to the
public treasury for want of claimant,
and any that may come from donation,
gift. grant or devise.
The taxes for the current fund show
very prominently specific tax for
education, provided by general laws, as
for instance, mills in Arkansas, %
of mill. Is. 1-6, 1-6 and Sc on in
Colorado; 2 mills in Illinois, IL cents
on each 800 in Indiana. These are
levied under general laws for the en-
tire State and do not require any an
nual or biennial act of the legislature.
In addition to the above specific
taxes for the entire State a large num-
Der and variety of such taxes are by
statute authorized for counties and dis
tricts. thus allowing each locality the
power to carry its own public schools
TO high degree of excellence.
The special sources of revenue, for
both the permanent and current funds,
show surprising number and variety,
such as the following:
Gifts, grants, devises by individuals.
Escheats.
Fines.
Forfeitures.
| Special endowments.
Certain taxes on corporations.
Poll taxes.
Taxes on shows.
Tax on liquors.
Estrays.
Unclaimed dividends.
Marriage fees.
Examination fees.
Auctioneering fees.
Foreign life insurance.
Foreign interpretations.
Vending goods by sample.
Keeping eating houses.
Taking photographs.
Acting as brokers.
