(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 12. (Special.) It Is
proposed by Land Commissioner Follmer to
place the offlre of 'the commissioner of
public lands and buildings on a self-sustaining
basis. The last legislature appro
priated 129.008 for tha' salaries and ex
penses of tha department during tha hlen
lum. Mr. Folimtr declares that this
money could have been tared by the pass
age of a bill authorizing the land commis
sioner to collect reasonable feea for Jhe
certification and tiling of papers In hi of
Bee. ,
Mr. rollmer would bare the fees made
similar In site to those charged by the
various counties and the government land
ffloea for . the same kind of work. Email
fees are now charged Tor filing field notes, ;
but no expense whatever Is attached to tho 1
Cling of assignments or to the certification
of papers. Copies of loet contracts are
also furnished without cost. The money
derived from the filing of field notes does
not amount to more than $1,000 a year.
Tho land commissioner Insists that with
feea no larger than tfiose charged by the
government land offices the department
would I e entirely self-supporting, and pos
sibly would return a small balance to the
state. He will recommend to. the next leg
islature the passage of a bill authorizing
the collection of the fees and will endeavor
to have bis idea successfully carried out.
Similar recommendations hay been made In
the past, but In most canes were soon for
gotten. This time Mr. Follmer will give
the matter personal attention to the extent
of entering the lobby himself.
supervision of Marrlaaes.
The State Board, of Charities and Correc
tion will recommend to the next legisla
ture the enactment of a law creating Ju
venile courts In all large population centers
cf the state'.' It may also propose the cre
ation of a court on sanitary marriage and
another to have Jurisdiction over adult
feeble-minded and epileptics. The members
of the board Insist that this would be along
the line of advanced charitlea and connec
tions. ......
In a report to the state conference the
ecretary of the board, John Davis, has the
following to say:' .-. .
