This cut is allowed the state, and in jturn the state apportions the entire 125 per cent to the counues in propor tion to the area of government land In the respective counties. Last year the 25 per cent amounted to 5265.000. The public does not benefit from :the state owned lands until such j times as they are sold when the pro iceeds go into the irreducible school :fund which now aggregates around ;$7.000.0CO. The interest from the m i vested school fund Is apportioned to the counties according to their pop ulation of persons of from 4 to 20 years of age which is considered school age. Originally the school lands, com prising the I6th and 36th sections of each township, ceded to the state by the government for school purposes, aggregated 2.677.823 acres. Sales since the state entered statehood in 1859 have totaled 2.ni6.228 acres. ! Other untaxed lands are those of public parks, colleges, churches and hospitals.
