President  James  of  Illinois  State  University,  says  the  Legislature 
of  Illinois  at  its  last  session  (1912)  passed  a  law  providing  that  a 
tax  of  one  mill  for  every  dollar  of  assessed  valuation  should  be 
levied  for  the  support  of  the  university.  This  will  give  about  two 
and  a  quarter  million  dollars  per  year,  available  July  1,  1913.  Owing 
to  the  provision  in  the  constitution  of  Illinois  that  the  legislature 
may  not  make  appropriations  for  longer  than  two  years,  the  legis- 
lature must  appropriate  at  each  session  the  money  represented  by 
this  mill  tax  and  labeled  for  the  support  of  the  University  of 
Illinois.
