Condition or Afflalr A Viewed by
tho Retiring Executive.
By wise provision of the constitution, It
Is the duty of the executive to furnish to the
legislature et the opening of each fession, au
account of hit stewardship , and a state
ment of the condition of the state's affairs,
with such recommendation as will, In hi
judgment, bent promote the welfare of thf
Ktate and the public oci
Wwto i'lna&cea.
That which, in my judgment, is at this
period of most concern to the state, is the ron-
V . : m . '. X 1.'..- Un 4t
time in a long period of years the state treas
ury is depleted to the extent that the cur
rent obligations of the state cannot be met;
and tho state warrants are thus bearing in

expenses through interest diarees, necessita
ting an increase in taxation. The lost legis
ture trreaUv increased the appropriations for

additional expense. The general fund in the
state treasury Dec., 192, shows a balance of

registered warrants have been called for

pute ana U itutLZ-Jiejvcnt on, have
he long
ministration, I am constrained to lay special
emphasis for tho necessity or a tuorougn re
form in the management of the public insti
tutions of the state. Particularly is this
true with regard to the extravagant, and, in
some instances, dishonest expenditure of the
funds provided for the maintenance of those
institutions. While the most flagrant in
stance of this has been revealed la Uie con
duct of the hospital for the insane at Lin
coln, and for which the former superinten
dent, m-ss asd should be heid liable, I am en
tirely satisfied that a like condition has here
tofore existed in connection with other insti
tutions.
I mav recall to yon the circumstances which
led to the investigation and exposure of tho
unsatisfactory condition of affairs which
had prevailed at tho Lincoln institute. With
a view to an honest and economic adminis
tration of the affairs of that institution, 1 in
stituted a system of comparative statements
between a given numler ,of months under
the present administration aud a like period
under nreooodinz managements, and found
such an enormous difference as could not be
ascrilied to parsimony. Ho pronounced
was this difference in the matter of supplie
consumed, (being about Ai Tier cent loss.
that 1 became convinced that thoro had been
dishonesty connected with the transactions o(
tlw former management; and ou the 2!tb
day of September. 1SJ!1 I called upon the
board of public lands and buildings to make
a thorough investigation 01 ciiarges w&tcn
had been mado at a public ineetiug by E. 0.
ltewick, esq.
The investigation which followed developed
such a state of affairs as warranted an in
vestigation by tho grand jury, with the re
sult that a number of criminal indictments
were found, with which tho courts have yet
to deal.
Corroborative of my opinion that the state
institutions may he conducted more econom
ically than hus been tho custom, I cite you
tho following showing from the official re
port of the superintendent of the hospital
lor Insauo at Liucoln, a comparative state
ment of expenditures from March 'Jl, lo'.H, to
November 30, lh'J2:

I may nl-;o add that tho report of tho,
superintendent of the asylum for chronic
insane, at Hastings, with au average increase
of twenty patients, makes a comparative
showing for a period of ten months of a sav
ing of S7.O71.O0; and a comparative state
ment for six mouths shows ft saving of $:J,
770.00 at tho hospital for insane, at Norfolk.
For a period of ci;;ht months, with an in
creased number of inmates of twenty-five
per cent, there is a saving shown at the
soldiers' aud sailors' home, at Grand Island,
of 5,(XlO.
From tho facts and figures thus brought to
my attention by tho officials in charge of
those institutions, whom 1 have lieen per
mitted to appoint, lam convinced that tho
said institutions can lx conducted in their
running expenses, exclusive of salaries, for
about sixty-six per cent of tho amount here
tofore consumed. And, in this connection, I
would further call your attention to the
fact that there aro a number of stato institu-

l'ubllo Education.
The report of the Commissioner of public
lands and btuMicgs, w far as it relate to
educational lands aud funds, presents some
matters w hW-h should be a source of pride
and satisfaction to every citizen of the
state. Tabulated statements show that Ne
braska has had granted to it for educational
purposes a total of 2,iW,415 acres of land
of which amount 7.'t4.!04 are common
school lands. Of the total amount title is
yet vested in the state to 2,42,704 acres; of
this amount 573,39 acres are nnder stale
contract: 1.4'i2,07 aro under leased con
tract, and 445,007 acres are neither leased
nor sold.
The report further shows that there is
now invested in tho United States, bonds,
state securities and registered county bonds
belonging to tho permanent school fund, the
sum of SJ,525,872.:i5, and cash in the state
treasury amounting to KJ0,iJ'.lS.39; making
a total of $3,016,270.(4. An increase in the
permanent school fund during tho last two
years of i270,'J03.53.
Tho common school lands now under leaso
produce an annual rental of iX710.08.
This, with the nnnw.l interest and unpaid
principal on said contracts amounts to
$230, 170. 11. which with tho added interest
amounting to So,542.dl makes a lunu or
fcCS5, 428.50 to lie annually apportioned to the
rchool districts of the stato in addition to
the revenue derived from the investment of
the permanent school fund on the state
treasury.
This is a magnificent showing for the
educational advantages of our state, and
reflects great credit upon those founders of
our statu who in tho early days -conserved
its ?ehool interests.
Tho honorable commissioner also calls
attention to tho imperfect and ambiguous
laws regulating tho procuring of right of
way over state lands by irrigation com
panies, which I consider especially worthy
of your attention.
The state superintendent of public in
struction iu his report, also deals with some
subejets relative to public education which
1 consider worthy of your consideration.
1. The equalization so far as possible, of
school taxation iu tho various districts of
the state.
2. Legislation requiring a uniform course
of study for district schools.
3. Legislation making the boundaries of
government townships the school district
line with a board of trustees for each with
the power to make necessary provision for
the educational needs of tho youth of the
district, and tho bringing of such boards
into closer relations with tno county aud
btate superintendents.
Stnto University.
The report of tho board of regents of tho
state university makes a particularly grati
fying showing. The growth of the univer
sity during the last biennial period h:is been
phenomenal. The attendance has more than
doubled; tho present enrollment being nine
hundred and Ui'ty-seveti (i)57). This regis
tration represents twenty states basides Ne
braska, aud sixty-four Nebraska counties.
Tho close connection of tho university with
the public school system is shown by the
fact that three hundred and eighty-seven
(W7) pupils come from public high schools
and three hundred and fifteen (315) froin
public schools. Tho advanced standing of
the university and its strong hold upon all
who are seeking the best facilities for higher
education is niuuu'csted by the fact that one
hundred and twenty-flvo (125) of the students
com? from other colleges and universities,
largely within this state. That it is minister
