     of population, and which under the present law can get no
     portion of the State appropriation until after the next
     succeeding triennial return of resident taxables.
        Section 2.  That the basis of distribution in such cases,
     shall be the number of resident taxables as shown by the next
     preceding annual assessment, and returned by the county
