Citizens Asked
To Vote Funds

Statements from headquarters
of the Greater University funds
campaign call attention of Mon
tana voters to the fact that all
state support for higher educa-
ton will be stopped next June
unless Referendum No. 40; and
Initiative No. "A are approved
in this election.
The legislature, under the
Montana constitution cannot
pass these measures if they are
rejected by the people, it was
pointed out.
In 1920, a measure was intia-
ted which provided for a tax
to raise funds for aid in main
tanning the Greater University
institutions. This special levy
was approved by Montana citi-
zens in 1920, and was limited to
10 years.
Because of this limitation, the
legislature of 1929 passed "a ref
erendum measure, with a slight
increase in amount because Of
increased needs, and again linn
tied its application to 10 years.
This measure was approved by
popular vote in 1880.
In 1899, at the end of 10
years, provision was made by
the state legislature for a ref
erendum measure to permit the
levy for the maintenance of the
states high educational instltu-
lions. This is Referendum No.
AZ. Tt was explained that the
people of Montana must vote
favorably on this measure If
these institutions are to con-
tinue to serve them and their
children.
Initiative No. A provides for
necessary buildings at the
Montana State college at Boze-
man. Since the last bond issue
and building campaign in 1920.
the student enrolment at the
state college has more than
trebled, and the available space
Is so overcrowded that satisfac-
tory work is difficult. It seems
apparent, officials say, that ur1-
less provision Is made for ad-
d1tional space, 1t will be neces-
sary TO refuse admittance to
young people seeking advanced
education.
