 Senator Washburn took the floor kainst the bill. It has become a kind custom and courtesy among sens ors to support each others appropria on bills You help me and | help lou, becomes the order. It is not for e senators here to appeal to him to Dp these charitable institutions. He s here voting appropri tions for these titutions, when some senators on floor were iu their swaddling ythes. When be proposes to throw strictions around the trustees of these stitutions, senators raise their hands protest and cry out, "stopl Are ese trustees not gentlemen? Are ey not nice men? Are they not |nest? Won't they do the right thing?" e is not here 10 deny favorable hswer to all these questions, but if they all these things, they will not object restri ton and investigation. When a man opposes Fcrutiny and in ,stigation, he right then needs to be vt stigated. There is something apt be wrong with him. He appealed to ke senate not to pass bill that will How the principal of that school to khow favoriti m. A bill that will allow Ihim to pick cut such as he chooses, and recommend them to stay the other three years, while those who are not his pets npnust go home at the end of seven years. While we are here ' mining around about small app opiiations, we had bet her be looking after what we have al- Ie3dy appropriated, and see that it is |legi imately and properly used. The Ipoor deaf mt4tes out there are afraid to testify as to the management and con- duet of that instit tion for fear they twill be expelled from the school. The committee on charitable institu- tions is investigating the condition of | the state charitable institutions, and will make report in due time that will show their exact condition and the ap- 5propriations necessary to maintain them p Operly.
