as seriously as | should have done,
but it would seem to me that man
who would do anything in opposition
to education would surely find himself
in hopeless minority, and especially
coming from a man who has earned
by hard work the money with which
to educate himself. | am heartily in
favor of education and the new sys-
tenn Of educating our children, but l
am opposed to extravaganza, whether
it is my own funds that are being ex-
pended of the funds of the State, and
l feel | have a share in the response
bility of seeing how the moneys of
the State are spent. This problem
confronting us, and the one to be
solved now, is one of finances. This
morning | visited the office of the
State auditor, and he gave me a com
plete list of all the sources of revenue
for school purposes and the amounts
received from each last year. be-
lieve in any organization, system or
government living within its means,
because any other course is absolute
ly destructive"
Mr.. Nelson here quoted the figures
he has received from the auditors
office, and they showed a grand total
of S2,008,O48.13 as the income for
schools last year. He said the auditor
estimates that these revenue sources
will not produce more than $2,100,000
this year, and perhaps not more than
$2,000,00O.
''The school people are asking for
S2,500,000 for next year and $2,600,
600 for the following year," continued
Mr.. Nelson. "This is just S1,000,000
more than all the revenue sources for
school purposes can produce in the
next two years. That is what we are
facing today. We have been accused
of being opposed to the school people.
and yet the sources of revenue for the
next two years are going to fall short
to the extent of this vast sum of what
the school people are asking for. We
don't oppose the schools or education.
The Democratic party would be only
too happy to give them all they ask
for if the money were available. We
would gladly give them the extra
| 81, 100000 if we had it to give. Moth
ing would please the Democratic party
more than to be able to do this, but
we haven't got it, and we cannot see
where we are going to get it.
"The people of this State should
know this condition of affairs. If
there is anyone who is interested in
the schools who will come to us and
show us a source compatible with our
party platform from which we may
derive this extra revenue, we Will
listen to him gladly and try to raise
the required amount; but we now
know of no source and no one has
proposed any such plan of relief. 1t
is only fair to us, it is only fair to
the party of which ! am so proud to
be a member, to make this explana-
tion, that the people of this State may
know and understand the difficulties
with which we are confronted"

SCHOOL REVENUE QUESTION
Mr.. Nelson Not Opposed to Education
But Wants to Know About Revenue

Mr.. Nelson Not Opposed to Education
But Wants to Know About Revenue
Representative Nelson took occasion
in the House, Friday morning, to cor
rect an impression which he says has
been broadcast through the State, to
the effect that he is opposed to the
schools and education. He said he is
strongly in favor of education but is
opposed to extravaganza in the school
system or any other system. He also
cited the difficult task the Democratic
party has of facing a situation where
in so much additional revenue is
sought and where there are no known
sources to provide this additional rev.
enue.
"I would like the privilege of say
ing a few words here" said Repre-
sentative Nelson. "There has been
spread broadcast through this State
an absurd inference that / am OPP
posed to education and to the School
Code 1t is a rather unfortunate
thing that a man cannot deliver him
self of his honest and just senti-
ments in opposition to extravaganza
which he believes exists in system
without being charged with being op-
posed to all things Incorporated in
that system. l have been advised by
many Of my friends, and some have
urged me, to undertake to remove this
suppositiOn that | am apposed to edu-
cation. Up to the present time, per-
haps, | have not taken this situation
