PLAN TO STOP LOG ROLLING.
Proposal that New Method be Adopted
for Securing Authorizations.

Lincoln, Dec. 30.-It is not improb
able that in his message to the next
legislature, Governor Sheldon may
make certain recommendation that If
acted upon will forever end the pres
ent system of securing appropriations
for the maintenance of state institu-
lions. The plan under consideration
is for the governor to visit in turn
each state institution and confer with
the head of 1t and with the various
boards which have control over the
institution. When an agreement is
reached regarding the improvements
needed at the institution and the
amount of appropriation which should
be made for its maintenance, the gov
ernor will make the recommendation
to the legislature. The appropriation
bill would then have the backing of
the administration and doubtless would
be passed with little or no trouble.
lnasmuch as the governor would be
in thorough touch with the finances
of the state, said prominent educat-
or, and would be familiar with the
needs of the institutions, each would
be well cared for and none would Sc
cure an appropriation larger than ac-
tually needed.
