The appropriation is a record breaker in an other direction as well, inasmuch as it is a direct appropriation and not dependent or in the any way conditioned on the earnings of mill tax as were the appropriations of the last biennium. In other words it is clear money and as far as can be learned it has no strings attached. The importance of securing these appropria tions and their significance to the future wel .The fare of M. A. C. can not be overstated. providing of this two new buildings at time, the library and economics building, is vital to growth. the home the There is even greater cause for elation when we realize that this is the first direct appropria tion from the state for building purposes since the Agricultural Building was authorized. All that construction work on the campus since time has been tax the mill financed earnings. The Gymnasium was built entirely from the regular mill tax income. from It is a difficult matter to apportion credit for getting this legislation through, as success was undoubtedly due to the united efforts of a great many. However, among those wield ing a very powerful influence have been L. Whitney Watkins, '93, and Mrs. Dora Stock man, both State Board members. We do not believe that there has ever been as much in- interest shown and as much actual work done by alumni, particularly the girls, as during this campaign. Due to the women's work, if funds for but one building had been granted, that would have been for the home 'economics building. We only hope that in future years M. A. C. women may be as energetic for the whole legislative program as they have been for this the home economics building project year. Alumni everywhere will be disappointed no doubt in the legislative failure of the item for dormitories which was a part of the budget. In M. A. C'.s building scheme these come next and if some wealthy alumnus or other individual does not step forward with the gift income will be considerably Due to the increased valuation of the state, the mill tax in increase creased during the biennium. should provide some building money over and entirely above the running expenses. possible that the in legislative budget for a. stadium or a part of it may be provided within the next year out of the regular income. is the $100,000 asked for This It During the coming two years, M.

The appropriation bill for t he University of Michigan, as passed in the senate last week and by the house this week, carries $5,330,000 for the next two years, all for building pur poses. This is a cut of $3,390,000 from the requests made by the board of regents of the University for that period. However, in addi the University mill tion to the appropriation three ' from ratio has been tax increased to six tenths of a mill by this years eights legislature so that that source is materially their increased. income from That not one additional cent of direct tax ation on the rank and file of the taxpayers will be levied by the passage in the legislature of the building appropriation bills for the Uni versity of Michigan and for M.

Chairman James Jerome of committee the ways and means pointed out in the house last Friday, and has since emphasized that this money would have tax to come from fees, licenses, corporations and other special sources of revenue of the state. Hence the passage of the University bill and the one for M. A. C, which has a like status, will not put any extra burden on the taxpayers. As finally passed, the college apropriation bill carried twice as much for buildings and three times as much for extension work as it originally contained when reported out from the ways and means committee. The increases were brought about the efforts of state board members, alumni and agricultural interests. through THE M. A. C. RECORD "Potsy" Clark To L e a ve M. A.

Through them, men benefit by a Research which has made incandescent lamps four times better, power transmission easier now over hundreds of miles than it was then for ten miles, and generating machinery capable of producing a hundred times as much power in a given space.
