When Mr.. Corblt requested this

on the journal. Representative kra-
mer objected to such a protest being
entered and argued that the report

respect.

was a quorum present when the re-
port was presented, the question not

not know where we stand. n the
old laws are re-enacted IL will re-
quire enormous appropriations. II

all. or some Of the financial features
OF the defeated bill, and putting
them In whatever school laws We
have" Senator Alice said.

going TO stand for. and vote for
taking enough out OF the treasury

this there viii be no money left for
other purposes.
First ! feel we owe an obligation
to take care Of the states unfortu-
mates at Farnhurst and then ths
feeble minded. After these have
been cared for I think the schoo
children of the State have the mex
claim. And l do not propose to se'
their wants neglected for fads ant
frins that many appropriations are
to take care OF.
1T rs not fair 10 the children e
pass these appropriation bills, an,
then when We come TO the schoo
problem. admit We have no funds.

pie of my county and OF the state
from being made the pack mules o
the corporations"
