pride to the fact that- the appropri

$7,000,000 which is maybe $347 less
than the,,one passed at the prveious
session. '
The statement about the big bill’s
total is the truth, but the pointing
with pride is as false as the wig on a
bald man’s head, because it deceives
the taxpayer into believing that $7,-
000,000 is all that was appropriated
by the legislature.
Now, that last, long session of the
legislature enacted an appropriation
bill with a total of $7,434,926-^nd the
same legislature, in other acts it en
acted brought the total appropriations
of the session to more than $11,500,000
or over one-half more than the to£al
of the big appropriation bill and out
in the open.
