made by the school authorities to
claim the fees for corporations.
While the last legislature was in
session Secretary of State Charles
H. Grantland called the attention of
the legislature to the section of the
law spoken of, and pointed out to
them that it might in the future
cause some trouble and had better
be changed. 1t was then changed so
that it gave the taxes from corpor-
ations to the school fund but making
it plain that fees collected for char
tiers were not taxes.
1t is pointed out that the $6,000,000
under discussion, has been collected
and spent by the State and that in
view of the fact that no effort was
made during the time that the law
was in force to collect the amount
collected in fees it can not now be
collected.
None of those spoken to had
heard anything of special session
of the legislature to consider the
matter. State officials had heard
talk of the amount being due the
schools, but they had heard of no
effort being made, or about to be
made, to collect it.
