$22, 100000 Asked for Schools; Sales
Tax Foes Bring Substitute
Proposal for Tax

Because the last legislature re-
stricted the spending of highway
funds, the highway department in
the state has piled up surplus dur
ing the past two year. Monday, the
senate passed a bill, which will pres
sumably find little opposition in the
rouse, making $3,OO0,OOO of this sur
plus money available Immediately for
the repair of roads that have receiv-
ed little attention recently.
State Superintendent of Schools
and score of civic clubs and organi-
cations have appeared before or sent
requests to the appropriations and
finance committees asking for raise
in the schools appropriations to
$22,000,0O0. 1t is almost an uncon-
tested prediction that there will be
a raise in the funds allowed the
schools for the next biennium.
Anti-sales tax groups have pre-
sented plans whereby SO per cent
more taxes may be raised without
resorting to the sales tax.
In the large, the proposal says the
money will be raised as follows: A
total of $3,O86,538 to be obtained
from a tax on now untaxed dividends;
a sum of $4,682,679 to be obtained by
increases in franchise taxes to recap
ture in equity part of ad valorem
reductions; an increase of $35O,483 in
insurance premium taxes and lastly
the process of exacting $4,241 1894 in
occupational license taxes.

STOCK AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated RTeSS WIlIcIs
NEW YORK, August 27.-Prices Of
leading stocks toppled today under a
deluge of selling orders that put the
ticker tape several minutes behind.
Losses ranged from fractions to
around 3 points. The downturn was
attributed largely to profit taking.

close was weak. Transfers approx
mated 100000 shares.

prised at the reversal, in view Of the
fact that the list had been advancing
for q relatively long time with only
minor corrections. A steady to firm
undertone was present in the early
proceedings, but sagging utilities soon
brought unSettlement. A number Of
issues received support in the last
half hour and shaded their declines.
Although the adjournment of Con-
greSs created little stir, marketwiSe,
some traders were said to have I'M
loaded their holdings because of con-
fusion as to the effects of the food
of legislation rushed through near the
finish. Trade and industry were still
being watched closely, as was the
alo-Ethiopian controversy.
Wheat and corn were not excep-
tionally heavy. in view of the action
of equities. Cotton was a bit better
than steady pending further clarifl-
cation of the 1o-cent loan agree
ment. Bonds pointed downward, led
by U. S. Governments. Foreign ex-
changes were calm.
Among the more active share losers
were American Can, American Tele-
