not TO run the total levy above that of
1917, allowed the educational mill levy

ana reduced the levy for the general
iund from 3 mills to two and seven
eightns mills and thereby reduced the
amount of money coming into the gem
era fund by about $3s,000. ana the
educational institutions received this
money. And in addition the Bartels
UI company commenced suit against
the state. claiming that the state had
no right to charge a fee for the in
spect1on OF oil beyond the cost Of the
lnspectio and that the inspection law
coulo not be made a revenue law for
ene state, and since the first Of July
tne Oh companies have refused to pay
the Tees and will thereby deprive the
state. by Dec. 81. 1914 Of over ssi1s

AS shown, the general fund for the

various institutions and funds oper-
ating under the mill levies. and this
they did. They felt that it was not
wise to raise the assessed valuation
OF the property of the state until the
legislature had first had the oppor-
tunity to readjust the county officers
salaries and the debt limits of towns
cities and school districts. They felt
that farming conditions and business
generally was not such as to warrant
laying a heavy additional burden upon
the people Of the state. The reports
as made by the various educational
institutions show that they received
large sums Of monev from various
sources and that these amounts in
cluded the mill tax and also included
large sums from interest and income,
from lands and lands sold belonging
to the various institutions. from fees
charged to students. from boarding
fees, from appropriations from tine
general fund for maintenance, from
appropriations from the general fund
for buildings and equipment. repairs

government A definite statement. If
desired, as to all Of these figures can
be had from the governors office from
reports made Sept. 1, 1914 by the vari-
Gus institutions.
Now just a word as to the estimat-
ed overdraft (and remember they
have been paid from the general fund
and are not outstanding In the way
Of bills) in some Of the appropria-
tions.
F1rst-Penitentiary The state peni-
tentiary in May. 1913. had 179 con-
victs. It has now 261. the increase
being to large extent caused by the
law passed by the 1913 legislature
which says that "bootleggers'' and
blind piggers" shall be confined in

penitentiary. We cannot close the
penitentiary, nor can we continue It
unless we can get the money to pay

Military activity in tile west is
