Governor Sh0up has called n matt ~
th. yerhal hattie which has been rag
Ing between state educators i"f wv
weeks over the proposed approprla-
tion of s6OO.OOO by the legislature for
the establishment of II medicai scho'i
and hospital for the poor i'll Denver os
saving that ii was none of their affair
This generous gift by the kocKe-
Teller foundation is offered TO the peo-
ple of Colorado-not to one of IT'S III
stitutions or to the city of Boulder OF
the city of Denver or TO any indlviuu-
al" declared the governor.
IF it is the desire of the people 10
accept this gift, | think 1t extreme Dau
taste for one of its servants to oiter
any objection, because it is the peo-
pies money, after all.
THE people of the state OF Coio-
RADIO voted that additional mill not for
any particular institution, but for
all the institutions. II Is the
peoples money; they have n right
through their servants, in this instance
the Legislature, to say for what edu-
cational purposes it shall be spent. l
believe the proposed medical school
and hospital. which will be operated
for the benefit of the poor, 10 be one
of the most worthy propositions ever
offered to Colorado. / think the peo-
pie want it and think the Legislature
should give it to them without any hes
itation."
Al the same time the appropriations
committee of the House of Representa-
tives reported out for printing the bill
that will raise the states share of the
| fund necessary 10 receive the Eocke-
Teller gift. A tax levy of 2-l0 mill for

ssIry money.
