AME OLD STORY:
Financial Problems ContLin ne
To Harry State Legislature

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

By FRANCES PAINE
Financial dilemmas are nothing
new to the Michigan state legis-
lature.
The problems facing the pres-
ent session, as a result of the di-
version of one-sixth of sales tax
proceeds for public education, re-
call the struggle which took place
in Michigan 100 years ago to guar-
antee funds for the schools, ac-
cording to Claude R. Tharp, re-
search associate in the Univer'-
sity's Bureau of Government.
Veterans May
Study Abroad
Under GI Bill
Fulbtight Act Offers
Additional Assistance
Veterans who want to study
abroad may get help under the
Fulbright Act to supplement ben-
efits received from the GI Bill of
Rights, a State Department offi-
cial told the Daily yesterday.
Oliver J. Caldwell, acting as-
sistant chief of the Division of
International Exchange of. Per-
sons, said that this additional as-
sistance may take the form of
payment of transportation, tui-
tion, maintenance and "other ex-
penses incident to scholastic ac-
tivities."
Under provisions of the Ful-
bright Act, Public Law No. 584,
the State Department is author-
ized to utilize foreign currencies
and credit acquired through the
sale of surplus property abroad
for programs of student exchange.
Since this 'exchange must be
financed with foreign currencies,
travel expenss of students to
foreign countries can be paid on-
ly where currencies can be made
available.
Veterans of both world wars
will be given preference and the
selection in this country will be
made from students in all parts of
the United States, according to a
State Department circular.
It is anticipated that agreements
for administering the program will
be concluded in time to permit a
limited selection of students for
the academic year 1947-48.
Persons interested in. the pro-
gram are advised to communicate
with Dr. Walter C. Eells, Chief,
Foreign Education Division, Vet-
erans Administration, Washing-
ton, 25, D. C.

Q.xford Offers
Summer Plan
A summer school for American
and other "overseas" students ex-
tending from July 2 to Aug. 13,
will be offered by the University
of Oxford, England, the Oxford
Delegacy for Extra-Mural Studies
announced.
The school is designed for men
and women who hold a B.A. de-
gree with a major in cultural sub-
jects but undergraduates with
special qualifications will be con-
sidered. Men and women will be
accepted in approximately equal
numbeis.
Approval has been granted for
veterans to attend the school us-
ing benefits of the G. L Bill.
The curriculum will be based on
a lecture course, "European Civ-
ilization in the 20th Century,"
and students will also attend lec-
tures and seminars in "Litera-
ture in the 20th Century," De-
veopments in Contemporary Phil-
osophy" or "The Political and
"EconomicB~ackgrounct."

Iowever, in the early history
of the state it was the legislature
which created financial embar-
rassment, but the more recent
chaotic conditions must be laid at
the doorstep of the electorate it-
self," Tharp said.
Michigan was bankrupt in 1846
following an orgy of speculation
in railroad building and the issu-
ance of notes which had been dis-
credited by the public. The state
legislature solved its problem by
borrowing from the public schools
the funds which had been created
by the sale of federal land set
aside for educational purposes by
the Northwest Ordinance of 1787,
and by selling the railroads, which
were then state-owned.
Railroads Taxed
Auditor-General Bell recom-
mended to the Legislature of 1847
that the interest on the state's
loan from the school land fund be
paid by taxing the railroads, now
privately owned. This was only
proper since the funds borrowed
werenused to finance the railroads
when they were state-owned,
Tharp pointed out.
Use of railroad taxes for public
education was authorized by the
legislature, and a provision requir-
ing it was incorporated into the
Constitution of 1850. This provi-
sion was continued in the Consti-
tution of 1908.
Taxes Continued
Although the Supreme Court de-
clared the state's debt to the
schools null in 1881, use of certain
specific taxes for educational pur-
poses has been continued to the
present, and these taxes have con-
stituted a large proportion of state
aid to the schools.
"Thus after the lapse of a cen-
tury, the partisans of education
have sought to guarantee its finan-
cial support by placing in the fun-
damental law of the state a pro-
vision for earmarking another of
the specific taxes for use of the
public schools," Tharp said.
Problem Not New
"The present effort of the legis-
lature to find means of financing
the $270,000,000 bond issue for a
veterans' bonus reminds us that
the problem of paying for debts
growing out of war is not new to
Michigan," Tharp said.
The legislature made its first
use of credit in 1838 to finance a
threatened war with the state of
Ohio over a boundary dispute.
This was the occasion for calling
two extra conventions, three ses-
sions of the legislature and an
army of 1,300 men to guard the
southern border.,
'Revelry in Credit'
The state's bankruptcy in 1846,
resulting from what Tharp called
"revelry in credit," led to consti-
tutional safeguards against the is-
suing of unmanageable debts.
Thus, a century later it was neces-
sary to amend the state constitu-
tion to authorize the issuance of
the $270,000,000 bond issue for the
veterans' bonus.
"The same electorate that au-
thorized the divergence by the
sales tax amendment of large por-
tions of the revenue upon which
the state was relying, authorized
the issuance of the bonus bonds,"
Tharp pointed out.
Senior Dues Must Be
Paid To Insure Listing
Dues collection for second se-
mester seniors is now underway
and must be paid promptly by
each prospective graduate in ord-
er to insure the listing of his name
on the graduation list, Joan Wilk,
senior class treasurer, said yester-
day.
Amounting to $1, the dues are
to be sent to Barbara Raymer,
finance chairman, at 407 N. In-
galls.
