INDIANA, PURDUE AND STATE NORMAL FACE A FINANCIAL CRISIS

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Sept. 23. Indiana's three state institutions for higher education are facing a serious financial crisis. ' The presidents of Indiana and Purdue universities and the Indiana state normal school, at . a conference with

the state board of commissioners Wed nesday, declared that the higher educational system of the state is on tho verge of - complete collapse unless

more funds are secured. The conference was called to urge the tax board to Increase the state levy for the Institutions. Members of the faculties of Indiana and Purdue universities are resigning to accept positions in other schools offering more attractive salaries, officials of the Institutions declared The Indiana . state normal school is unablo to fill long standing vacancies in tho faculty because of Inadequate ralarics. Presidents Appeal to Board. Dr. W. L. Bryan, president of Indiana university; Dr. W. C. Stone, president of Purdue university, and Dr. W. W. Parsons, president of Indiana state normal school, represented tho institutions before the board. The three officials were unanimous in the opinion that the work of tho schools is Buffering seriously from the financial stringency and that immediate relief is necessary. The present tax levy for the Institutions is 2.8 cents on each 100 of taxables In the state. The levy fixed by the, legislature in 1913 was 7 cents. Under the 1919 tax law, which increased valuations in the state millions of dollars, the tax board scaled the levy down. Funds secured from the levy are distributed on the basis of twofifths each to Indiana and Purdue universities and one-fifth to the Indiana state normal school. Members of the tax board questioned the representatives of the institutions as to the amount of the increases in the levy necessary to provide rolief. It was stated that a levy of 3.8 cents, an increase of one cent, would provide temporary relief, but was not sufficient for a permanent basis. The tax board has been of the opinion that there is doubt as to their authority to increase the levy. U. S.

Lesb, assistant attorney general, who

represented the state legal department in the conference, gave an informal opinion, holding that the board has the power to increase the levy. He

said that an official opinion on the sub

ject will be issued soon. J. W. Fesler, a member of the board of trustees of Indiana university, expressed the opinion that the question of providing more funds for the three

institutions is the most important

which has ever been considered by the tax board.

Oscar H. Williams, state supervisor

of teacher training, presented tables

showing the low rank Indiana held In

support of higher education, when compared to other states.

Mr. Williams snowed that of seven typical states, Indiana ranks seventh

In the amount of money spent for higher education; sixth in the per capita amount spent; seventh in the

amount spent for higher education, ex

eluding normal schools, and seventh in

the amount spent for normal schools

In addition to the educators who ad

dressed the board, the conference was 1 attended by L. N. nines, state super-1 intendent of public instruction; Thaddeus Rose, Muncle; State Senator Arthur B. McKlnley, Muncle; C. C. Connelly, registrar, Indiana state normal school; U. H. Smith and John W. Cravens of Indiana university, and all the members of the tax board, including Fred A. Sims, chairman; S. N. Cragun and Philip Zoercher. The tax board is holding Its fourth session, at which the state tax levy is fixed. Mr. Sims left for northern Indiana immediately after the conference, but it is expected that the board will give attention to the plea of the schools and other matters connected

with the fixing of the levy early next week. . Board's Duty Held Clear. Just before the meeting adjourned Mr. Williams declared that the tax board should not lose Its battle by falling to provide revenues for the

proper support of the very heart of

the educational system.

I know that, when we are gonet your efforts will perpetuate the original patriotic spirit

of the nation. Outlines Organization's Work. "Probably another ten years will mark the end of the G. A. R, as a huge organization. Actual count shows that only 230,000 of the great armies that marched and fought sixty years ago are alive today. For that reason, we bequeath to you the work which we have done during the period that the G. A. R. has been In existence. "The work, in part, is to curb the actions of such men as those who assassinated three of our Presidents. Men like those are abroad in the country today. True, they are deported, but how? They are sent abroad in

good ships and are well taken care of. It is no punishment to send them home. It is your duty to see that such laws are passed that yill, instead of sending them home, allot them a section of ground in this country six fet long, two feet wide and four deep." Ex-Governor Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, who nominated Senator Warren G. Harding for the presidency at the Republican convention, declared that an ambiguity in the constitution caused the civil war and that the avoidance of an issue by the founders of the nation had caused a war in which thousands of lives were sacrificed. Asks Study of League. "It Is our duty," said he, "to see that no such ambiguities occur again. Eighty per cent of the persons who read it fail to understand the League of Nations. A failure to understand such an issue on Nov. 2 might mean another great war which would result in the
