the mil tax appropriations, hence
they should be given preference over
all others. Strenuous objections are
made to this as the educational insti-
tutions receive many other appropria-
tons, while some have federal aid,
land grants, rents and various other
resources for additional revenue. Now
that they have raised the question,
and if they are allowed their full ap-
preparation by the court, they will
probably suffer heavier loss in 9th
err appropriations than if they had TAX
ell the cut. However, many will pr,-
badly lose their appropriations.
} The board Of equalization desires 10
reduce all appropriations to fit the
state pocketbook, but the institution
attorneys hold that this would be as
suming, the legislative power, while
the boards power or office is merely
ministerial. - -
Some Exceptions.
There is an exception which would
necessarily have to be made to gen.
eral trimming Of appropriations, and
that would be in the cases of the pen
itentiary, asylums for insane and
feeble minded. These must run, and
must have funds whether the educa-
tional or other institutions run or not.
Raise the Valuation?
Some have suggested that the valu-
alton be raised in order to meet the
deficiency. This would be such harsh
tIp
tire state. In order to raise the valu-
alton sufficiently to meet the present
deficit, the appropriations provided
by the mill tax would also go up with
it and force unnecessary hundreds Of
thousands onto the institutions, and
they would spend it. 1t would raise
the salaries of county officers in over
40 counties in the state and increase
the debt limit of municipal corpora
tons to a dangerous degree. to3 i.
