Des Moines, May 5.--The millage tax
system of handling state revenues
now subject to political attack and de-
clared to violate the constitution as
imposing obligations without vote OF
the people, is eighteen years old, and
has long been well established as part
of tho public policy Of the state.
In that period the three state edu-
cational institutions have received
about four million dollars under the
obligations. or debt, thus created; or
substantially one-third Of their total
income.
Up to June 80. 1913. a year ago, these
millage taxes had yielded for the edu
cational institutions s3.930.201.69.
History Of the Law.
The mfllage tax idea was originated
for the benefit of the state university.
Representative o. A. Byington, OF
Johnson county. introduced the first bill
in February, 1895. and it was champ
toned by Senator c. r. Ranck in the
senate. 1t passed the house by vote
Of Sc to 20, with the support Of men
we'll known in the state. as c. G.

Needs Anticipated.
Thus was established the millage tax
plan as against appropriations in lump
sum. The idea was to provide so that
funds might be anticipated and plans
to be laid far ahead for permanent i'm.
provements for the state without be-
ing subject to the whims Of legisla-
lures and without the necessity of con-
tinuous log rolling before each session

When the thirty fourth general as
sembly (not the thirty fifth. or last
one) passed new act for millage taxes
for a term of years. for the three insti-
tutions. there was created an obliga-
ton of the state which will return to
these institutions. unless the millage
tax is repealed. over s2,OO0,0OO.
That obligation is in every respect
on all tours with the obligation created
by the thirty-fif general assembly in
the matter of the improvement Of state
property about the state house. The
first ia for improvement OF state prop
erty about the colleges. The sum is
about the same! The method of rails
ing the revenue is identical.
Is It Illegal?
If the theory on which the millage
tax for the state capitol Is attacked is
right. then the act Of the thirty-fourth
general assembly was the creation OF
a debt.
1t would have been just as appro-
pirate to have submitted one millage
tax to vote of the people as another
In fact 1t would have been absolutely
illegal and without any warrant OF
law to have done so in either case.
II a bill is passed by the next legis-
lature to repeal all millage taxes 1t Will
cut off from the colleges more than a
million dollars in revenue now pro-
vided for and perhaps to large ex-
tent anticipated in what is being done
TO improve state property. The millage
taxes have been supported without re-
gard to party or locality. In the past
and never before has an attempt been
made to capitalize them for vote get

Confidence Man
Makes HaulS on
Five Local Banks

Five Omaha banks have filed complaints
against Grant r. Perry, arrested Friday
in Seattle, Wash. and will attempt to
bring him back for prosecution. Perry
obtained over 800 from each of the banks
in Omaha and fled.
The Pinkerton detective agency trailed
him across the country and found that
under various aliases he had mulcted
banks from one end of the country to the
other II is estimated that in the six
months that he has been working, he has
cleaned up $4,000.
The Omaha banks have the strongest
case against him, and he will in all prob
ability be brought here for prosecution.
According to Detective Curzon OF a ma
tional agency, who worked on the Omaha
end Of the case, Perry is the mans real
name.
His method would be to deposit money
in half a dozen banks each day, for sew
eral days. and then on getaway day" in
troduce several forged checks for deposit
and take half in money and let the other
half apply on his account The half
usually amounted to at least 800 more
than he had deposited in cash. This
scheme was worked successfully on five
Omaha banks and on hundreds through
out the country.
