Celebrating the Removal of Poll

Nashville.-It is celebrating time Tor
friends of the University of Tennessee.
By a vote fully as overwhelming IN
proportion as that of the senate the
house has put the stamp Of its ap-
prevail on the Rooks-Kittrell bill.
Under the terms of the bill the uni
versity is authorized to issue $1,OOO,O0O
in bonds for improvements, and here
after the state will lay tax OF one
half mill on the dollar for the beneht
of the institution.
1t will forever divorce this proud old
institution from politics and political
intrigue. 1t will put it on it's feet. No
longer will it be obliged to beg a few
pennies from every legislature. The
legislature entered into binding con-
tract that hereafter the people shall
support their university direct, with
out legislative interference.
It was the greatest step in an edu-
cational way the state has taken since
the passage Of the general education
bill Of 1900. 1t lifts the university from
poverty to aff1uence. 1t lays, for the
first time direct tax upon every
piece of property in the state for the
university. 1t was laid almost unani-
mously, too.
Only four opposed its passage IN the
senate. In the house the vote was 81
to II.
The only opposition in the house
came from those who thought the noted
Cookeville polytechnic school would
share in the reversionary fund. the
university now gets about $4,000 I'M
der the general education bill.
FIGHT On County Parole Bill.
The house INDUCED in a warm fight
on the bill providing for a board OF
three members to constitute a county
board Of parole for each county In the
state. These members were to be ap-
pointed by the governor, not more than
two on each separate board to be or
the same political faith OF the chlel
executive. The republicans and dem
ocrats were divided on the measure,
members of both parties claiming that
it only meant building up a political
machine for some governor who may
usurp too much power
An amendment was adoptd allow
ing the boards to be selected by the
county courts of the various counties,
but the bill as amended was killed by
a vote of 70 to 81.
The house also rejected bill to al
low workhouse prisoners 81 per day
during their incarceration. This bill
was bitterly contested.
The senate passed bill giving the
attorney general of the state a second
assistant.
