t I 9 i! m 1 1 STATE LEGISLATURE. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 16. SENATE. Debate occurred on the appropriation irl's Industrial School. Mr. Day appealed to-the Senate to have mercy on ihe tax-papers. Our people's lands are-being! spld; they" are in rags and too poor to go to school. He would not vote for this bill nor for the Univer sity appropriation. ! Mr. Aycock aslced Mr. Day if ,hq voted for the World's Fair appropriation-of $25,000. He an swered that- he did not. but that he would have done so if he had been here. That money would not have come di rectly from the' tax payers, and the ap propriation ! was simply confirming the action of the last Legislature. Mr. Mc Dowell asked if he voted for the Guil ford Battle" Ground appropriation. He answered that jhe did, and declared that if that question were left to . the people of North Carolina they would also vote for it, ."' v. ' " , Mr. Jones I offered an amendment to strike out section 1, which increases the regular annual appropriation from $10,000 annually, as it has heretofore been,- to $15,000. He took strong groundragainst the $5,000 extra appro priation; He said if the. appropriation fnr durational Durooses were increased it should t)e for the public schools. He declared that this Leeislature must not increase tne tax UDon tne state. , ii must lower itJ Mr Battle replied to Mr. Day. He said he had many beautiful traits of characterj but consistency was a virtue that he Could not ' lay claim to. He had been extravagant in voting for other appropriations. He had poured forth his eloquence against this bill withoutTeing informed upon it. He had showed ignorance of, the bill and of the committee's Report upon it. He had cast slurs upon the professors in charge of the institution, - Mr. McDowell - declared that his sym pathies had been thoroughly aroused in behalf ot this bill. It wasne of the best features that had ever been intro duced into the educational system of North Carolina. Rather, than see this bill defeated or cut down, he would preler to reduce the appropriations of other Institutions of the State. Mr. Posey said that while endorsing what the Senator . from Halifax said about increasing taxes, he was forced to differ from him on this measure. He made a strong appeal to educate the women of the State. Education of the mothers was the one source of hope for the youth of the land. It was not a mat ter of sentiment; it was a matter of busi ness, of right, of justice and of good gov ernment. ' Mr. Fields said he was not opposed to educating the women of the country, but he favored economy. The Finance- Committee was how endeavoring to lower the rate Of tax from 25 cents on the hundred dollars to 20 cents. He be lieved the school could be maintained on the original appropriation, and he thought Mr. Tones' amendment should pass. He would be in favor of using the five cents tax saved for the public schools ot the State. He favored this bill with Mr. Jones' amendment Mr. Owen said we had to confront conditions and not theories. Reduction of taxation is necessary and the people demand it although they may tavor education of the women. . Mr. Aycock made a few closing re marks in lavor of the bill paying a tribute to Messrs. Mclver and Alder man. Mr. Day made another speech against the bill and denning his position He said the men of the institution were paid twice as much as the women. He favored decreasing the appropriation by reducing the salaries. The vote was taken on Mr. Jones' amendment and it was adopted ayes 87, noes 13 - The bill then passed its third reading HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House! was called to order at 10.80, Speaker Overman in the chair. PETITIONS PRESENTEES.
