THE ATKINSON BILL.

The Atkinson bill, which is nov
pending IN the State Senate, hay
ing passed the House by decisive
vote, creates aud establishes
Board of Control consisting oi
three electors. THIS Board of Con,
troll will have full power to man
age, control aud govern the Con
federate Soldiers Home, the Fed
eral Soldiers Home, the four State
hospitals (asylums), the Missouri
Training School for Boys, the In
dustrlal Home for Girls. the School
for the Blind, the School for the
Deaf, the Colony for the Feeble =
minded and EpiIeptics, and the
State Penitentiary and in addition
to this, the Board will have power
to investigate the reports of the
Curators of the State University,
and the regents of the three Nor.
NAL Schools, and the Lincoln lnsti.
tute (colored school.
While this bill was pending in
the lower House, the chief argu-
ment against its passage was, that
it would centrall2e too greatly the
power over these institutions:
that, as now governed by their sew
eral local boards, they were more
closely drawn to the people of the
sections in which they are located.
In the first place. the bill pro :
vides for the appointment of this
board by the Governor by and with
the consent Of the Senate, and
places each member of the Board
on salary of 81, 900 year; pro
vldes that each member of the Board
shall devote his entire time to the
duties of his office, as prescribed by
this act, and further provides for
II secretary mt a salary of ~ 800
per annum, who shall devote all
his time to the duties OF his office.
Under the present system of
management of the various institu.
tions herein named, the members
of the various boards meet at stat.
ed times for few hours to trans.
act such business as they can with.
in a limited time, and necessarily
with still more limited knowledge
and information of the needs of the
institutions, and then depart to
their several homes. Some of them
are, by law, physicians, Others
come from the various walks of
life, and all have business affairs
of their own to look afer So. by
the very nature of the ease. the
managers of the various institu-
tions, as now provided for by law,
cannot give their time. energy and
