TELEPHONES
GALORE IN
CAPITOL
Fight is Expected on the
Proposition, Reports
Saws.

The investigation Of telephone ser
vice to the state capitol Offices in Madi
son is said to have shown that there ar
about three times too many phones il
use by the various departments. Ever
Office boys and clerks have individual
phones, and the finding of bills for more
phones than can be located in the CAPT
toll indicate that some state officials are
even making the state pay for tele.
phones at their homes.
The railroad commission offices are
quoted as an example for this condi-
ton. The commission alone is paying
for thirty-fve telephones; the state
superintendent of public property finds
only thirty-one of these, and is still try
ing to find where the other four are To-
Gated and why the state Is paying for
them. In this office the office boy has
a telephone. At desks of the flat3top,
two side variety, where two employees
work face to face at opposite sides Of
one big desk, each employe is provided
with separate telephone.
A case of alleged grating has been
uncovered and will result in suits for
reimbursement to the state or on crimi-
nal grounds. The legislative committee
disclosed this condition in a star cham
Der session and is holding the name of
official secret pending investigation of
his charge that other officials have con-
stantly practlced his method Of acquir-
ing to much expense money.
The joint legislative commissions at
Madison has completed the first portion
of its labors which have been submitted
to the legislature in the form of bills
providing for the consolidation of twen-
ty commissions into four executive
bodies, alleged to mean a saving of
about $500, 900 a year to the state.
The Offices proposed to be abolished
are:
State board Of control.
BOARD of health.
Dairy and food department.
Oil inspection department.
Treasury agent department.
State BARRIERS board.
Board of pharmacy.
Board of medical examiners.
Dental board.
State forestry board.
State park board.
Conservation commission.
Fish and game department.
State fire marshal.
Board of agriculture.
Inspector of apiaries.
Board of immigration.
Live stock sanitary board.
State veterinarian.
Board of veterinary examiners.
Taking the places of the foregoing
will be:
Board of public welfare.
State conservation commission.
Public property department.
Board of agriculture.
The titles of these new boards will
