In this case.
Women have educated not only
the boys but also the men, gradu

them. And that's what they need.

her knee, man has been changed

The Senate—Wednesday
The Senators were given food for
thought when the principal part of
the day's session came up, that of the
state's debt, and the state's income,
and the prallem of how to make both
ends meet on an income of $3,600,000
and a budget that may leave the state
$300,000 deeper in debt in the coming
year. Senator Paul told the senate
that the general fund debt is probably
$4,000,00? and the total state debt
with educational bonds included $8.
162,000 and interest of $200,000 a year.
The committee that investigated the
■bite board of equalization, consist

Watson, made a report in which they
»aid: "The board has collected $149,
859 in tuxes that the state never would
have received without its labors, and
1 has spent but $8,000 more than
the old board, and while it had an ap
p opriation of $59,310 it has used only
whit was imperatively needed for ad

fi 20,000.'
The report further compu
ted the officials of the board, and
recommended that its budget be ap
proved.

The first important prohibition
measure made it appearance in the
house today. The intention of the bill
is to give jurisdiction to police courts
