<p>Colleges and Universities — Nature. The state college of Washington is a state institution.</p> <p>States — Fiscal Management — Funds of State College — Payment to State Treasurer — Statutes—Construction—Implied Repeal — General and Special Acts. Moneys received by the treasurer of the board of regents of the State College from students’ fees and rents and sources other than the general and state government are not a part of the “State finances”' to be paid over by him to the state treasurer, within the meaning of the act of 1907, p. 179, entitled “an act relative to the finances of the state____,” which provides that each state officer or other person authorized to collect moneys belonging to the state or any institution thereof shall each day transmit all moneys to the state treasurer, although such college is a state institution; and the prior laws, mating it the duty of the treasurer to collect and disburse such moneys, are not impliedly repealed by the act of 1907, p. 179; since repeals by implication are not favored, and special acts are not presumed to be repealed by a general act; considering also the subsequent act of 1907, p. 423, directing the treasurer of the board of regents to receive the annual appropriation of the general government for experiment stations (Mount and Dunbar, JJ., dissenting).</p>
