SPECIAL TAX
FOR SCHOOLS

CONTINUED from Page One1
both branches Of the legislature to sub
nit a constitutional amendment to the
voters. Should the amendment be
adopted at the polls, it would become
effective in 1917.
The heavy state tax burden in Kan
sas has been for the support of state
schools. To keep down the tax levy,
the legislature has slaughtered the ap-
preparation bills, especially for new
buildings, and the schools have been
the chief sufferers. Now it seems prob
able that the legislature may intervene
and take the burden off the shoulders
of state administration and meet the
expense in an annual tax levy.
Levy of .O6 Mills.
According to the appropriation bills
of 1913, it would require an annual levy
of about O6 of one mill to meet the
present running expenses of the schools.
For new buildings and increased cost of
maintenance, the levy might be in
creased one tenth of a mill
In 1918 the legislature appropriated
about $2,344,000 for the support OF the
state schools for two years.
The state tax levy both in 1912-13-14,
was IL mills. This levy was based
on a valuation of about two and four
fifths billion dollars. 1t is estimated
by Auditor Davis, therefore, that levy
of not to exceed .06 mills will meet the
school expense and at the same time
would reduce the general state tax levy
virtually one-haH.
Retain Educational Board.
Auditor Davis would. by the tone of
his report, maintain the education ad-
ministration board created by act OF
the 1913 legislature. In fact the crea-
ton of such a board was recommended
in his report of two years ago.
I'm my report of two years ago, 1
favored the plan of a single board of
three for the management of the edu-
cational institutions" says Davis in
his recommendations, but coupled
with it the suggestion for direct tax
for the support of these institutions
as necessary for the complete remov-
al of the criticisms leveled against
the present plan of providing for these
institutions The principal criticisms
of the present plan were stated at
that time as follows:
Il. The scramble of the different
boards and heads of institutions for
all they can get from the legislature
is unseemly and keeps the legislature
and the people in a turmoil
'2 The legislature in the brief per-
iod of its existence is unable to deter
mine the actual needs of the institu-
lions and sometimes refuses approprt-
atoms that ought to be made and
very frequently grants appropriations
that ought to be refused
s3. The influence of these institu-
tons through their graduate and stu
dent bodies is becoming more and
] more potent In procuring favorable

Deafness is the result. and unless the in

Those who expect to make money
with an egg ranch must select for
layers hens that are above the aver
age. The big layer generally has a
long body. deep In front and deeper
yet behind. This is natural for the
eggs are manufactured in the back
part of the body and the hen that has
several eggs growing at once needs
the room. At the same time. the heal
thy vigorous layer will have her toe
nails worn off nearly down to the
quick. because when she is not on the
nest she is hustling for something out
Of which to make more eggs. Right
In this same connection put 1t down
that the two or three hens that are
still scratching around after the sun
has gone down and all the other hens
are on the rOost are the ones that
give the largest returns.-Field and
