Helena, March 1.-The general ap-
the house today at the very close OF
the session. The committee on APP
preparations has worked long and
hard on this bin for some ten days,
The time that the bill was under
consideration the committee endeav-
ored tor give justice to all Of the in
stttutions and at the same time keep
the amount down SO that the total
would not exceed the legal limit al
lowed to the legislature.
The law gives the right to the legls-
lature to appropriate money to $780,
900 above the amount of the income
of the state. This was the limit
which the committee tried not to ex-
coed. However. the income of the
state for the nex two years is given
at $3,2l1,2 200 and the total appropriate
tons made are $3,263, 600, not includ-
ing the expenses of this session or the
Is minor appropriation bills already
signed by the governor or several
others on their way to him.
This has been an expensive session
for the state of Montana, The amount

meeting of the expenses OF the present
body is $137 900, or about $2,2SS per
day.
And it is quite possible hat this
amount will not entirely cover all of
the expenses.
A long hard fight was made here by
some of the members of the commit
tee and by some outsiders for the APP
preparation for the University Of
Montana. Tho university and the ag-
ricultural college appropriations were
the next to the last to be considered
by the committee. At several hearings
of the committee some matters were
brought to light IN connection with
educational appropriations, of which
no other appropriation committee had
learned. AS soon as these facts came
to light the committee said there
would be fair play this year and, act
