In the aid of rural schools for the
two years ending Aug. 31, 1925 $3,000-

$12,000,000.
This leaves for ordinary appropria-

$34,411,000, which is an increase of

sessions for 1923 was $778,900. Esti-
mated out of current expense, etc.—
$150,000 making a total of $928,900.
Educational institutions have appro-
priations totaling $1,393,800 made un-
der sub-titles of current expenses and
maintenance, out of which traveling
i expenses may be paid, no limit being
placed upon amounts to be so used.
This is equally true of a number of
departmental lump sum appropria-
tions. Based upon past experiences
the amount shown as estimated out of
current expenses is conservative.
Amounts appropriated for transpor-
of the military
forces of the state are not included in
the above.
It may be of interest to you to know
that the cost of printing for the sev-
eral departments and institutions of
the State aggregate per annum close
to $400,000.
With reference to suggestions which
might be in order. I have no wish to
appear critical. I do not mind telling
>ou however, that the shortest cut
to a solution of the State’s financial
problems, is in the hands of the Legis-
lative body, and may be summed up
