university, one-twentieth of a mill tax
upon the property of the state, as
equalized from time to time by the
state board, it could get along with-
out any other taxation.
This tax then amounted to about
$31,000 a year. It has been upon this
vantage ground that the university
has grown in its demands upon the
taxpayers.
From time to time it has asked and
obtained increases of the rate as fol-
lows: In 1893, to one-sixth of a mill;
in 1899, to one-fourth of a mill, and in
1907, to three-eights of a mill. This
increase means an increase of tax
from five cents per thousand dollars-
to 17-1-2 cents per thousand.
While this increase ;bythe legisla-
ture has gone on, the state board of
equalization has at each sitting in-
creased the valuation of the state from
$630,000,000 in 1873 to $2,800,000,000 in
1914.Y
Since 1914 the university has re-
ceived from this three-eighths mill tax
$1,010,000 per year and besides this a
tax of $38,000 per year (old land
sales).
Would Increase U. of M. Levy
It has obtained other appropriations
from year to year amounting to Gorge
sums for special purposes. Last year
the amount approximated $400,000.
