The Tribune of last Friday had the following in its legislative correspondence: "Chairman Doran of the senate committee on University says that the committee will probably report in favor of the University appropriation bill, fixing the amount for the next two years at about $200,000. The committee does not look with favor upon the idea of action simultaneously upon the proposition to increase the State University tax from one-twentieth of a mili to one-eighth. That is considered quite a serious proposition, as it means an increase in University revenues of about $60,000 a year.
