State Money for Schools
State money allocated on average
daily attendance basis to schools of
Ohio for 1895 amounted to $685.
100000, according to the "Ohio
Schools" official organ of Ohio Ed
ucational association. Per pupil dis
tribution was slightly above $26.S3,
which was s4.76 short of state tax
commissions estimate.
Total distributed to schools from
state taxes during 1885 were de-
rived from following sources: Sales
tax, $16,S46,490 or s13.47 per pu-
pill; liquid fuel tax, $11,457,631 or
$9.17 per pupil state intangibles
tax, s5,221,336 or $4.18 per pupil.
For 1886, Ohio is committed to
supplying state funds to amount of
S48.0OO,00O to finance require
ments of foundation program. Rev.
enues in sight amount to approx
imately SAL, 100000, leaving a ST.
100000 shortage the legislature
must supply either by appropriation
from general revenue or from other
taxes.
Estimates of school revenues for
1886 are: Sales tax, $24,74S,5 500;
liquid fuel, 100000; intangi-
bles, $5,500,000; use tax, $750,000.
Estimate from liquid fuel is lower
because 1885 figure included ST.
451 ,667 collected in November and
December, 1884, and distributed in
1885.
Public school officials point fur
ther to decrease of 33 percent in
school support from local property
taxes, from 1882 to 1885. School
operating costs in Ohio dropped
from SIP, 100000 to $S5, 5,000,-
600 in approximately same period.
School Indebtedness was less than
25eo of total debt of all local sub
divisions in 1884.

NEW YORK. April 14.-Orrin G.
Wood Of Boston, president Of the In
vestment Bankers Association of
America said today imitation Is slowly
marching down the lane of Govern
ment borrowings due to large unbal-
anced budgets"
Speaking before the investment
bankers at the Bankers Club, Wood
also said, "Given no great and unfore-
seen disturbing event or the long con-
tinuance of or increase in unsound
Government policies, look for a con-
progress Of the country"
"I am not of the school that feels
this country has seen the peak of its
prosperity" he added.
-Four years of heavy deficits have
passed and each year we have hoped
for definite trend toward balanced
budget.
Each year we have been disap-
pointed" he added.
This coming year, due to a large
increase in the ordinary expenses of
the Government, due to the invalida-
ton of the processing taxes and to the
bonus, the Federal deficit bids fair to
be the largest of the depression by very
substantial figures.
Personally, ! should be heartened
by the levying of new taxes. provided
that those taxes were so distributed as
to make our average citizen realize the
heavy cost of our present governmental
expenditures" Wood declared.
