ALL PARTIES ARE GUILTY Stretch Out the Pay Rolls to Make Soft and Easy Picking for the Hangers on at the State House A Genuine Chance for Reform. Lincoln , Nob. , Dec. 2 ! . Special Correspondence : Ono of the chances of the legislature to reduce taxes In the state Is to cut off all the surplim employes In the present Hctmlun , mid Boino of the members who are anx ious to really servo tholr constitu ents are taking the mutter In hand. As a beginning thuy have looked up the records of past sessions. It Booms that In the earlier days It was the practice to put on the pay rolls men and women who hud no duties , and many of whom did not remain In Lincoln during the session It has not been uncommon for mod est farmer members to como here fresh from doing his own work , and before ten days had gone by the pes tiferous employment lobby bad pre vailed upon him to demand the ap pointment of three or four helpers or clerks Committee clerks who never ' -aw the committees , stenographers who could not write , custodians who took care of nothing but their pay vouchers and Janitors who worked IOPS than an hour a day. All those were drawing ? I ! per day and demand ing over-time pay. When the fuslonlsts got In they followed the same road , and when the republicans regained control In 1S95 the senate was worse than all preceding ones. That year twenty odd republican members appointed 102 clerks and spent over $21,000 for that purpose. The fusion session of 1807 actually made a little reduction in the expense , and the republicans in 1899 did Btlll bettor. In 1901 came the session which was demoralized by the long drawn out senatorial fight. There was no pre tense of economy , and while postof- flees and federal jobs were being promised to members , there was a wholesale trafllc In employes of the legislature. The house was especial ly profligate , placing 103 names on the pay roll , or at least 28 more than the statute authorized. Some of these were secretly added to the list , and never announced In the session. This could only bo done through the col lusion of the speaker and the chief clerk , and many of the members were blameless , for they never hoard of It. In that session for instance , there were sixteen engrossing clerks who were put on the rolls at the begin ning and had nothing to engross for twenty days. There were eleven pages , 15 custodians , six janitors , three sergeants , four gate keepers , five watches , two storekeepers and a custodian of the stores with more than the usual amount of stores stolen. They Invented the job of "custodian of specialties" and also "special clerk of the engine room. " About a score of hangers-on from Lancaster county got on the list either openly or se cretly , and some were accredited to counties that they could not have found on the map without careful search. In 1903 the senate was the most economical in the history of the state since the lengthening of the sessions , but the house was controlled by the same element that helped spend the money , and was as bad as over. An untimely publication of the size of the pay roll about the last of Febru ary stopped the padding process after 102 places had been created , and some of those who lacked pull wore even dropped to leave walking room for those who had peculiar influence behind them. It Is hardly necessary to call atten tion to the shameful disregard of the public expense , but one instance may suffice. The senate has a cloak room where Borne of the members hang their overcoats. The room is about eight feet square , and opens out Into the senate chamber. It costs from $700 to $ 1,000 a ses sion for "custodians" of this room , many of whom never enter it. There Is a genuine chance for re form and economy in this direction , and It Is believed that the present session will cut off the leak and save the state ten or fifteen thousand dollars lars , on that ono Item nlono. WEDNESDAY WRINKLES. Mrs. Rice of West Point arrived In the city nt noon yesterday for a visit with her parents , Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Spauldlng.

Hooth had prac tically decided to abandon coaching after the close of the season jiiHt end ed , but the personal friendships ho had established at , Nebraska won him back , and accordingly ho has wired his acceptance to the secretary of the board. The Balary of the head coach has been $2,000 annually , but Booth asked for a raise , and the board decid ed that his services were worthy of an increase. Accordingly the board offered to pay his expenses during the football season , plus the $2,000. This deal will represent an outlay of about $2,250 on Booth's account. The board , however , thinks him worth the money , for football was always a losing prop osition prior to the coining of Uooth. A , AMERINEJROKE A RIB Falls on Porch With Disastrous Re sult.
