COST OF INVESTIGATIONS

Once more Mr. Roberts calls attention to the
large cost OF legislative Investigations. and sug-
xes,s that a law he passed fixing by law uniform
Der diem rate FOR the payment Of the expenses OF
members Of the Legislature when engaged on such
emissions. He further says:
- As evidence that this is matter worthy OF con.
pideraton may say that from 1879 TO October
ssf SS23534 81 was expended for committee ex-
oenses exclusive OF contested election cases.
The aggregate expenditures of the State for the
support of its minor charitable institutions. Mr.
Roberts reports 81 0e0 339 02. which is exclusive
Of home products and profits from manufacturing.
He draws attention to tho striking difference In
the per capita of maintaining the various in
ttitutions. He says there is a tendency among the
managers of charitable institutions OF late years
largely to increase the wage and salary lists and
expenses OF management, and that this tendency
mas continued. with no sign OF abatement
He says further:
