The resolution has moi We. been
adopted by the legislature nor has the
sltO,oo0 special appropriation bill been
passed, but probably this will come
easy enough at the finish. The only
other appropriations the colleges will
get will refer to support funds.
The committee also plan TO give s75,-
600 for a women's building at the state
fair. and probably some of the smaller
sums needed for Improvements in the
states property there.
Now with many of the larger items Of
appropriations disappearing it will be
possibly in q day or two for the COM
mittees to complete the budget of gen
eral appropriations. The large item of
needs OF the state institutions Will dis
appear in a millage tax, out an appro-
priation will have to be made for what
is needed in the first year of the next
nlennium as proceeds of the millage
tax viii be slow in coming in. There
VIII be no large appropriation for the
proposed twin making plant at prison,
or for big prison farm or the pro-
posed epileptic colony, or the San
Francisco expedition, or for a new state
office building With these larger items
dropping out the problem of making the
state expenditure conform to receipts
will not be 50 Very difficult
So long as the senate is able 10 dis
pose Of business as rapidly as the Sat
urday record there is no need of a sift-
ing committee. Thus far the senate
endar and turn everything over TO the
sifters. Several efforts have been made
10 DO this but without avail On Sat
urday the senate passed twenty nine
bills Of which seventeen were house
oills and the house passed ten bills of
which seven We're senate bills or in
other words, practically final action
was taken in both houses on twenty
four bills. There were also several
