Koldlen Bailor' and Hwlici BIU The eight- netiura to be on the ballot for the apecta.1 election in June 1 Ut "Soldiers', Sailors' and Marines' Educational Financial B11L" It pro vides, in the grist, that honorably dis charged service men may receive fi nancial aid in certain sums for not more than four years to aid -them in securing college educations. The ballot numbers are 314 Yes and "318 No." Those who desire to see the measure carry will vote the "Yes" number ; those who oppose it will vote the -"No" number. The "Soldiers. sailors' and marines' educational financial bill." the eighth on the ballot at the special election of June I, Is designed to aid . deserving service men. honorably discharged from the army, navy or marine corps, to secure the benefit f of a college education. The ; measure was submitted to' and passed by the last legislature and by It referred to the voters of the state be cause of the continuing appropriation of two .tenths of one mill which it carries. This appropriation, on the basis of the last assessed value of the state as a whole, .that of 1918, would amount -to $197,506. a sum which the legislature could not apropriate without reference to and approval by the people because of the restrictions of the per cent tax limitation amendment. The bill provides, in brief, that "any and all" honorably discharged service men of. the three branches mentioned may take advantage of the benefits pro vided by Its terms. XIMITATtOW "WH1TTEJT IX Th limitation is written Into the bill, however, that "In no instance shall in- dividual who have been In the service known as the students army training 1 corps or who were inducted or enlisted la the limited service of the United State army, and who did not leave the United States in such service, receive aid under the provisions of this act." The act provides that any man quali fied to receive its benefits may be given not to exceed 25 per month, but not more than $200 in any one year. He must apply to the executive head of any Institution of learning in the state, whether publlo or private," giving the date of his enlistment er Induction into service, the date of his discharge, a cer- miea copy or Wi discharge or furlough, what course or courses he desires to pursue and toe length of time he desires te attend the institution, i The executive head of the institution la required to make report to the secre tary t State at the beinnln of rh month, of receiving the benefits of the act, mat oraciai m turn seeding him a state warrant for the amounts provided for under the act. -The institution is v also required to secure board and lodg- leg and other necessities which are to be paid for out of the funds forwarded by the secretary of state. No one la to be given this state aid for a longer period than four years, so that the total amount which any man could secure would be $800. CONTISmSG I.EYT PBOVIDED The act provides that' a continuing levy of .8 of 1 mill upon the assessed value of the property of the state shall be levied each year to supply the funds necessary to carry the measure into ef fect. On the. basis of the ISIS assess ment, the last compilation available, this levy would raise 1197.506 annually, which sum. however, would rise or fall as th assessed valuations fluctuated. Those who favor extending this finan cial aid to honorably discharged service men will mark their ballots "314 X Yes" those who oppose the measure will mark theJr ballots "315 X No." , -r . - ':- '' -IT' e Gooding College Is : To GQse JuBe 11 Ooodlng, Idaho.
