the Chicago harbor with terrible loss
of life, which, like the shadow Of an
unheralded eclipse, darkened the i'm
penetrable curtain that wells eternity,
its unknown shores no longer chart
less to those who thus sacrificed their
lives; therefore, be II

this assembly hereby voice and ex-
tend our universal and profound
sympathy to the officials Of the West
crn Electric company Of Chicago, Ill.
and through the president OF such
company to all those who have been

the bill introduced by Senator Perry
early In the session. wiping out the
bill factory. All Of these bills came
back from the committee with a re-
port showing the members were di-
yided three and three. This means a
warm fight on the floor when the bills
are reached. There will be a tremen.
dous opposition to these bills as this
has been the favorite source Of income
to these institutions. 1t has even been
charged on the floor of the assembly
that In order to raise the income of the
univorsitr and normals the tax com
mission raised the assessed valuation
of the property of the state. While
this was stOutly denied there has been
shown the existence Of feeling out in
the state that the mill tax for these
educational institutions has much to
do with their taxes, hence the intro.
duction OF these bills and the demand
that the appropriations for both the
university and normals be made In
lump sum so it will be known just
