Show ;' A. C. EXTRAVAGANCE. (?) Hj 1. C. Thorebon, in reply to David H Evans, of Salt Lake, makes a very Hi strong pointagalnst the consolidation- HJ Ists who have Insisted on tho extrava- HJ Banco of tho A. O. of U. For Instance, HJ . Mr. Thoreson presents the approprla- !t ions to both Institutions for each v blcnnlum slnm 1000, and notes that the Increase 011 the part of tho University Univer-sity has amounted to 07 per cent, ' whllo tho Increaso to tho A. C. of U. j ' ' has amounted to but 21 percent. Mr. H Tliorcson then shows that for Its In- I J crease of 07 per cent in approprla- tlons the University hasattalned an I , increase In attendance of only 7. r per I j cent., whllo the A. C. of U. with Its I -'4 per cent Increaso in appropriation W ' I has Incieased its attendanco 11 5 per M'i ' t cent. Which school, now, has put Its j ' money to the best use? I , Another fact thatshould bo brought j ' ' to the attention of those who havo Imagined that the A. C of U. has ' been corrallng about nine-tenths of I I of tho taxes of tho State, is that there I ' has not been a tine In the history or I f tho two schools when tho legislature ' has not given tho University twice as I much money as the A. C. of U. The last session gavo the college H0,"(X) t and tho U. of U. $300,000. What has p. t that school to show for tho great sums j I It has been receiving? , Isn't it u fact j that with tho great sums at Its dis- posal the University Is In such shapo HHIVHhHHHbv HHHj HHHHHH that even members of Its faculty have expressed a feeling of shame at Its general appearance? Doesn't the cry of "economy" and "extravagance" coming from thu University tound something like the cryof "stop thief" from the mouth of tho purloincr him-srsHV |
