For many years the evils Of the
caucus and convention system have
multiplied and baffied all attempts at
legislative control or correction. The
reason for this is elementary. The
evils come not from without but from
within. The system in all its details
IS inherently bad. 1t not only favors,
but, logically and inevitably, produces
scheming, trickery,
fraud and corruption. The delegate
elected in caucus is nominally the
sgent Of the voter to act for him in
convention. Too frequently he has

the board of control of serious respon-
sibility, and do permanent good to the
public service, by giving such rules
the force Of law. The subject is one
Of importance and worthy your care
full consideration
''By changing the system of procur
ing supplies and making all purchases
in open market under competitive
bids, the board is able to show a very
material saving to the state, notwith-
ing market prices during the last bi
ennial term. I am advised by those in
position to know, that in some institu
tons the expenditures for subsistence
of superintendent and their families,
for entertainment of their friends, fer
carriages, servants, etc, exceeds more
than twice the annual salaries of the
superintendent It is evident that rad
ical and immediate change is de
manded in the existing plan of sup
porting these officers and their fam
lilies. I believe that the legislature
should make adequate and specific
provision for the shelter of the several
superintendent, outside of the insti
buttons, and for limited allowance
for subsistence as we'll; but there can
be no justification or excuse for eX-
travagant expenditure on this account,
or for the entertainment Of friends
and visitors of officials at public OK
pense. I am informed that but two
residences will be required in add
ton to accommodations already avail
able to provide separate homes for
the superintendent of the several
state institutions.
