The tax levy for the coming year for
school purposes recommended by the tlnanco
committee and adopted nt the meeting of
the Hoard of Kducatlon last night, will be
consldtrably larger than last year.
This will be due to the necessity for pro
viding free textbooks, the equipment for
the new high school and the addition to
the Becond avenue school building. The
levy for tho teachers' fund will be the same
ns last year $65,000.
In the contingent fund 140.000 will have
to be levied. This amount Is made up of
threo Items J22.000 is tho same amount
as levied last year and Is used to pay the
expenses of Janitors, coal and other sup
plies, $9,000 must ho levied to provide for
tho free textbooks, which were voted by
the people ut the last election and J'J.000
will have to be provided for the equipment
and furnishing of the new high school build
ing. for tho school house fund $16,200 will
havo to bn levied. Of this $6,000 Is to pro
vide for tho addition to the Second aveuuo
school building and $10,200 for Interest on
bonds.
The committee on supplies was Instructed
to ascertain what number of desks und
other equipment would he needed for the
new high school. Tho question of renovat
ing the furniture in tiso In the old high
school was discussed, but no decision was
arrived at pending the report of tho com
mittee on supplies as to the cost of pro
viding new furnlturo for tho building.
I'nlon I.nlirl llefenteil.
The question of adopting tho resolution
of the Typographical union, calling for
the use ot the union label on all printed
supplies and textbooks used by the school
district, was brought up and discussed nt
length, but was flnully laid over, as the di
rectors decided they required further light
on the legal aspect of the question. Chair
man Macrae of tho committee on textbooks
and printing, to which had been referred
tho resolution, reported that be hail secured
this opinion from Attorney Hons, the sec
retary and legal adviser of the board:
It has almost uniformly been held that
such restrictions and contracts made In
pursuanc.! thereof are In violation of com
mon rights, tending to create a monopoly
against public policy, and void. Tho most
of the cases arise where there Is nil ex
pressed statutory provision requiring county
or city boards to let contractu to the low
est responsible bidder. In the case of school
directors In Iowa thero Is an express re
quirement that In tho matter of textbooks
tho contract shall be awarded to the low
est responsible bidder. Thero are no ex
press statutory provisions as to purchasing
oiner sunn les. out scnool uireetnrH nr in

duties of their office, nnd not the least rf cation of the see for Council llluffs in tho
...... . i ,.,v,i .mi, nui iiir iruai ri
these duties Is that they be economical nnd
careful In tho expenditure of the peoplo's
money, it is a common fact that where
such resolutions have been ndoplcd the
municipalities have been unable to secure
iiieir priming ai rrusonniiie prices. Fur
ther comment Is linnet'ensury, but for the
reasons stated! think thn nrfnntinn nt v,
resolution would bo unlawful.
Tyiiowrnnlcnl Proteht.
T. n. Drake, district organizer of the
International Typographical union, and
Harry Wcstcott, representing tho local
union, addressed tho board on behalf of
tho adoption of the resolution. Organizer
Drake stated that tho adoption of the reso
lution meant moro to the union thnn ap
peared upon tho surface. Tho union, he
explained, wau after the school book trust
and he had every reason to believe that
If the board adopted tho resolution it
would mean that the trust would soon come
to time. Westcott explained that the typo
graphical union was not a trust and that
the union label was simply a trademark.
Acting on the suggestion of tho board's
architects it was decided to adopt the
plans for the addition to the Second avenue
school, which provides for two wings nt
the southeast and the southwest corners
of the rear of the building. Tho architects
wero Instructed to proceed with the per
fecting ot the plans.

such n bono of contention as to bring both

DES MOINES, April 23. (Special.) The
condition ot the stato treasury of Iowa Is
such as to invite extravagance in appro
priations and expenditures. At tho present
time, according to tho latest balances, there
Is In tho treasury to tho credit of the gen
eral revenues,' $1,061, 498.75; In tho special
university tund; $17,051.62: In tho special
agricultural college fund, $18,360.86; In 'he
agricultural collego endowment fund, $15,
815.89; In the swamp land Indemnity fund,
$150.40, and in the permanent school fund.
$63.34. The lncrcaso in the balances has
been remarkable the last tow weeks, re
turns being received from tho March col
lections of taxes, which aro by far the
argest of the year.
While the collections reported have far
exceeded the amounts collected at this
tlmo of the year before, there aro fifteen
of tho larger counties of tho state yet to
report, and these sums will swell the total
in the state treasury to an unprecedented
figure One of the heavy sources of revenue
nt tho present time Is from the collateral
Inheritance tax, Imposing a tax of 5 per
rent on estates which do not descend to
direct heirs. Today tho treasury received
$5,645.25 from the estate of Stephen Cald
well, who died in 1'ottawattamie coun.y
over a year ngo, being the proceeds of the
collateral Inheritance tax. This la the
largest single sum ever received under this
law.
