President Storms and others Of the
state college at Ames appeared before
the senate appropriations committee
Friday afternoon to present in detail
the needs of the college. None of those
who appeared for the college were dis
posed to talk. One of the college men,
whose name could not be used, said
Il actually feel humiliated in coming
here. feel that we ought to sit back
and ask the members to come to us,
and nothing but the fact that we have
in our care a great institution has in
duced us to appear We apparently
have come to time when the public
and the newspapers alike treat us as
if we were intruders when we come
here to present merely the facts in re-
gard to the work we are doing"
This is the feeling of most of those
who appear before the committees. The
report of the visiting committee was
received by the legislators in silence
and by the friends of the institution it
was regarded as unusually severe.
Mr. Young, who has been named by
Governor Carroll to succeed Mr.. Nc
Curdy as custodian of the capitol, and
whose appointment was referred to a
to be reported upon next
Tuesday, appeared among the senator's
In the afternoon and became ac-
quainted with them. He is fine old
gentleman, rather genteel in appear
ance and we'll groomed and he made a
most favorable impression on the SEN
ators. There is no doubt whatever of
his confirmation. He is associated with
EX- Senator Brooks at Hedrick in bank
operations and is wealthy. The posi-
ton is one involving much hard work
and great vexations and the pay is
$1,000 a year.
With regard to the discovery that
members of the pharmacy board have
been padding their per diem accounts
FOR some time and in fact drawing pay
sor practically the whole year, MEM
GER of the executive council stated
Yesterday that there is nothing new in
It. The matter has been threshed out
DSlOF6 dIlu du SllOAI was liioSC Wy
Governor Cunlmins to have the legis-
ature provide a salary instead of NOM
nally perdiem, as it was long ago
admitted that s1,50O a year is not ex-
ravagant for the work done. The bills
nave been audited by the executive
council right along for many years and
10 member of the council has COM
,lained Of them or tried to have them
and the fact that pay was
lrawn for the full year was well known
Ut all times. Some time ago, Mr. Eaton,
he new member, who is to be retained
IN the board, announced he intended
o charge for only parts of days and
,nly for such time as he was engaged |
tway from home This brought mat
ers to a crisis, and Goss has been re-
moved by the governor. There are
bout fifteen candidates for the place
IN the board filled by Goss and some
If them have been very active. 1t is
tated that in all there are at least
ortv candidates for places on the
BOARD, but as the Goss vacancy has to
,e filled by democrat, the number of
for that place is not very
arge.
