LINCOLN, Jlatch 17.-(8poclal.)-The
proposition whether the creation of tho
new board of commissioners of state In
stitutions, better known as tho State
Hoard of Control, has solved the question
of more economical conduct of Btalo In
stitutions was discussed this morning In
tho office of one of the state officers by
a couple of officials who had formerly
been members of the Board of Public
Lands and Buildings, which ha1 charge
of state Insttlutlons before the Board of
Control camo Into being, tho opinion be
ing that It had not.
The discussion came up over the pres
ent condition of tho appropriation given
tho stato penitentiary for Its maintenance
fund. The appropriation for the blennluni
was given to the penitentiary at $74,000.
This Is about 11,000 more than was voted
for tho previous blennlum. Up V tho
present time something over S per cent
of this has been expended and less than
half of tho blennlum has expired. Tho
board la asking that tho convict fund,
which has always been turned Into tho
general state treasury, be now trans
ferred to tho cash fund of tho Institution
to mako up tho deficiency which Is bound
to exist, and the matter will be put up
to tho attorney general to decide.
Heretofore, according to a member of
the Btate Board .of Assessment, the con
vict fund, which represents tho money
coming" to tho .state for tho use of con
vict labor under contract, has been
turned into the state treasury, and In
making up the levy for the year this
fund has always been figured on as a
part of the money coming to the general
fund, thus cutting down the amount of
the levy for general fund purposes. Tho
Board of Control figures that tho law
which designates how funds shall be used
means that the words ''all other pur
poses" takes In the convict fund. How
ever, It has never been construed that
war. In past years and haa always gone
Into the general fund of the state.
Snlnrr Fund Iiow.
The condition of the fund tor officers
and employes also Is a Uttlo low, due In
part to j-alse In salaries. Tho salaries
wero first boosted Boon after tho prison
outbreak about two yenrs ago. At that
time tho sum paid for salaries at the ln
etltuttons, which Included board, etc., was
considerably lower than Is being paid
now, but after the outbreak were raised
In many Instances. When the following
legislature met other salaries were raised
so that the difference Is shown as fol
lows, the comparison being made with
January, 1513. and tho same month this
ear as 'shown by the records:
1312.

In the additional help for the same
period In 1912 there were four guards at
$10 per month, fifteen at $S3, two at $32.K
and three at $30. Turnkeys and gatekeep
ers were Included in the list as guards.
In January, 1014, there was one guard
drawing $60 a month, three at $55, twenty-six
at $30 and five drawing pay a

and 1014 shows that the payroll of the
penitentiary In Janus ry, 1912, was $1,KI,
while In tho corresponding month this
year It was J2.GS9.
In Justice to tho Board of Control, a
portion of these salary boosts were voted
by the legislature, the warden, deputy
warden, chief clerk, steward, physician.
deputy chief clerk, chaplain and matron
being tho .ones favored.
Towever, there has been employed ut
the Institution In 1M4, as shown by the
January payroll, thirty-six men outstdo
of the office force and Hv others at
various times, while in January, 1011, but
twenty-seven were needed to run the j
place outside of the office force. This In
face of tho fact that tho number of con
victs at the penitentiary In 1914 Is about
one-third less than In 1912. i
The legislature of tho last seislon found
it necessary to appropriate $60,000 as a j
deficiency fund to cover unpaid bills of
the institution for tho previous blennlum, !
duo mostly to tho prison outbreak ex
penses and the afterward boost In sal
aries of the guards and others connected
with tho Institution. The samo leglsla-
turo voted an additional appropriation for
the present blennlum of $60,000 for a new
building which was supposed to mako life
moro pleasant for the convicts and make
It easier to take care of them.
Clinnire from the Past.
Warden Beemer, when he had charge of
the Institution beforo his death, made
tho institution practically aelf-sutalnlng,
so It Is claimed by those who had tho
Institution under control, and they claim
that with a reduced number of Inhabi
tants there should bo less employes and
a correspondingly leas expenso to lun tho
Institution.
Beforo tho State Board of Control camo
Into being tho Institutions of the stato
wero looked after by a board of stato
officers consisting of tho land commis
sioner, secretary of state, treasurer and
attorney general, who performed tho
duties of looking after state Institutions
In additions to their usual duties and It
cost the stae nohlng for the work.
iThe last voucher from tho office of the
Board of Control shows that the threo
commissioners draw $250 per month, or
$750 In all; a secretary draws $150; a
boookkceper $100, two clerks $80 each and
two other clerks $C5 each, making a total
expenso In salaries alone to keep tho
Board of Control of $1,200 a month. In
addition to this Is office expenses which
will mako tno cost oi running mo new
board well up. In fact tho commissioners
themselves will draw for a full blennlum
$18,000, while the legislature voted an ad
ditional $40,000 for office expenses which
Includes salary of employes, making $58,000
whlcja It Is costing the state to have a new
board to look after Institutions.
AVhether the high cost of living at tho
penitentiary can be charged up to the
Board of Control, to the management of
the Institution or to tho general buoyancy
of the Salt creek climate, does not
materially count asithe people voted for
the creation of the board and to them
must be charged the result. However, at
the present rata of eating up tho appro
priation for the eleven months of tho
blonflium past, thero will bo a consider.
