COURTS To PASS
ON VETO MATTEL
Validity of Governors Ac-
ton in University Mat
ter Is Questioned.

Austin. Tex. June 12.-It is now
quite apparent that the courts Of
Texas will have to finally adjudicate
the question of the validity Of the
veto by Gov. Ferguson OF the appro-
priation made by the legislature for
the support and maintenance of the
University of Texas for the next two
fiscal years. Just in what shape this
proposition will reach the courts has
not as yet been definitely indicated.
but il more than likely is to be
through the state tax board; this
board which is composed OF the gov
crnor. state treasurer and controller
is scheduled to meet during the
month of July to fix the state tax
rate and IL viii have to determine
whether or not the university shan
be taken into consideration IN fixing
the rate
Mrudamus May BE Filled.
It is even now reported that
mandarrncs proceedings may be instl-
tuted against this board direct TO
the supreme court to compel the
hoard to take into consideration the
appropriation for the university IN
arriving at an adequate rate for the
support of the state government IN
the event the supreme court decloes
that the veto stands. then the uni
versity will not be considered IN the
tax levy, while on the other hand
should the court agree with the opln-
ion of the attorney general, then the
board will be required to take the
university into consideration
Tax Increase Likely.
The present state ad valOrem tax
rate is 20 cents on the 500 property
valuation, the pension tax is 3 cents
and the school tax 20 cents In order
to take care OF the many approprl-
atoms made by the last legislature
il is freely predicted that the ad
vaIorem tax rate will be increased to
not less than so or SIS cents

poets at School Drop With
His Enlistment.

The loss of Louis Burner, crack
high school athlete, who has enlisted
in the service of the United States
government, is a severe blow to track
and field team prospects at the Fargo
high school, according to the state
ments of athletic officials of the insti-
tuition last evening. With Barosky,
Burner was being coached to lead the
attack IN high school meets this spring,
and his leaving school has rather
dampened interest in that branch Of
sport.
Workouts for candidates for the
track and field team have been held in
the Agassiz gymnasium at irregular
periods the past month, though as
soon as weather conditions permit. the
squad will be taken outdoors.

that he knew a flrst-class train was
overdue and that one of his marker
lights was out, still he took no steps

Without Orders.
The report also says:
THE investigation OF this accident
disclosed that both OF the transfer
trains involved were occupying the
main track, without written orders. on
the time of an overdue first-clas
train. General rule SO requires that
engines working in yard limits pro-
tect against first-class trains, and
general rule 103 requires that mes
sages or orders affecting train move
ments must be in writing. Notwith-
standing the fact that these rules
have never been abrogated or modified,
Superintendent Huntington makes the
statement that 1t is the custom and
in his opinion a safe practice, for a
transfer train to occupy the main
of a first class train without protec-
ton, provided they have somebody's
word that the train is late"
Following is the concluding para
graph Of the report:
where printed rules and regula-
tons, in effect without modification,
are permitted to be habitually disre-
garded, as they appear to have been
in this instance, 1t is not surprising
that accidents such as this do occur.
Such practice cannot fail to weaken

TWO MILLION CUT
BY THE GOVERNOR
Minnesota Appropriations
Slashed Right Literally
by Burnquist

A total of $2,111,S43 was cut out OF
the appropriation bills, passed by the
legislature. by Gov. J. A. A. Burnquist.
ICED by the legislature will be materi-
ally reduced. 1t Is expected the 1918
levy for revenue purposes can be cut
from S.2 mills to less than 2.5 mills and
the 1919 levy from mills to about 1.5
mills.
The governors policy of close econ
omy was forecast in his budget mes
sion. when he requested a light build
ing program because of the high cost
of material. He also urged in that
message that state aid to schools be
just to districts with small assessed
valuation and high tax rate.
Following these recommendations,
the governor cut the following items
from the appropriation bills:
Deficiency school aid ........$1, 070,192
Drainage of state lands ...... 100000
pairs .................... 125,2so
Crookston school, building :, 100000
ing ........................ $4,000
minded ................., 10000
Cottage, Willmar asylum -, $4,000
Building, hospital for crippled
cniloren ..'....'...."'".""s 4o'VV0
Cheese factory. cleveland 80. 10000
AS the governor has no power to re-
duce items, he was obliged to leave the
school aid appropriations for the next
two years untouched.
The Bemidji normal school was Civ
en- $4,000 for aech year. and only one
years appropriation is eliminated. The
University of Minnesota is left with
but one years appropriation for re-
pairs and betterna ents. One of three
cottages at Willmar is eliminated.
Veto of the drainage item was fore
cast in the governors recent message
on the public domain bill, when he said
he would not favor further drainage
expenditures until the work was put
on a different basis.
No change wAs made in any Of the
items appropriated for the Moorhead
Normal school.
In speaking Of the reasons for Veto
ing many of the appropriations, Gov
ernor Burnquist said:
'I believe that the people Of the state
will be sufficiently patriotic to be will
ing to give up such and other unnec-
essary appropriations for local purpos-
es. For that reason ! have vetoed the
items pertaining to parks and monu-i
ments and also a $4,000 cheese factory
at Cleveland"
The law supplements went to press
yesterday and will be ready for distri-
button this week.
