In Favor of Sterilization.

IN Z dNOF OF 0IGFiiiZdLtOn
Sterilization of the idiotic, feeble
minded and degenerate inmates of the
state charitable and penal institutions,
state reimbursement of members of
the legislature for expenses incurred
in visiting the state institutions prior
to the opening of the legislative SEES
sion and an appropriation of $659,325
for special improvements at the diff
ferent institutions are the chief rec
concentrations made by the legisla-
tive visiting committee in its report
filed with Gov Davidson. The COM
mittee, which consists Of Senator j.
H. Noble of Eau Claire, Assemblyman
E. T. Elver of Madison and Assembly
man H. n Clausen of Washburn, spent
several weeks in visiting the different
state charitable and penal institu-
tions and it's report deals with the
condition and needs of each institution
in detail 1t commends the board of
control for it's careful and intelligent
work in supervising the different in
stitutions and says that without ex-
ception the institutions are managed
by wise and competent superintend-
entS.
In urging the enactment of law
providing for the sterilization of idiot
ic and degenerate inmates of the in
situations the committee in its re-
port says: after a careful and
thorough examination of the in
stitutions and the conditions of
the inmates therein confined, your
committee have been forcibly i'm
pressed with the influence of
heredity upon the inmates as shown
in the mental condition of a large
number of such inmates, and the ne
cessity for some measure to prevent
these conditions. The public must
be made to see that radical methods
are necessary. The method now adj
vanced sociologists, philanthropists,
charitable workers and penalogists is
sterilization This method is neither
dangerous nor painful to the individ-
ual and your committee recommend
that bill with this end in view should
be passed by the present legislature. T"
