to make the same recommendation
that | made to the previous board of

attention of the board to the extra fee
allowance in the University School of

professors from the state educational
institutions charging per diems from

my letter above referred to which re-
lated to the School of Fine Arts of

ever, was not in my Judgment a JUS
LITIGATION for the practice and policy.
Il assume that your attention was
called to some extent to the news .

in connection herewith, l wish to
state that 1 have received many let

matter. One of these letters was from
the president of the Alumni Associa-

Ruppenthal and many other g .du-
ateS from the state schools were not
in sympathy with the policy that has
been in vogue of paying salaries in
return for which the employee is sup
posed to give his time to the state and
then allowing him extra fees and dup
licate salaries under the guise of over
time or that the work performed is
outside that for which he was en-
ployed.
Il have heretofore been approving
most of these extra fee vouchers on
the representation that the contracts
between the board and the individuals
was of such a nature that they were
entitled to them. 1 am calling this to
your attention, hoping that your new
board will see this matter in a differ
ent light and re-adjust these contracts.

attention to the fact that 1 shall feel

use my own judgment in the future in
passing upon such claims and shall
eliminate such items as feel it to be

Knapp Checks Trouble Up to
New State Board.
University Professor Has
$1S3.33 Voucher Held Up.
STATE AUDITOR STANDS PAT
He Is in Favor of New Con-
tracts With Professors.
Double System Now Used To
Pay Full Salaries.

Fred w. Knapp, state auditor, to-
day checked the responsibility for fee
grabs at state schools squarely up to
the new state board of administration.
Knapp reopened the old fee trouble
by using the AK on a double fee sys-
tenn adopted in the interests of a state
university professor. In a letter to
the state board, Knapp places the re-
spousbility for fee grab contracts on
the shoulders of the board and urges
adoption of revised contracts
Raymond A. Schwegler. a state uni
versity professor, suffered to the
amount Of S1S3.33 when the state
auditor trimmed his pay check
Recently Schwegler presented a
voucher for S1S3.33 for three weeks
services in visiting institutes. He also
presented a voucher for exactly the
same amount for his regular monthly
salary. The regular monthly pay
check was allowed. but the extras"
were cut out. According to informa-
ton in the state house, Schwegler is
expected to receive $366.66 a month
for his services. But the approprla-
tions were insufficient to meet the
salary bills at the institution and a
system was adopted which took one
half of the money from the fee fund
The professor. however, is carried on
the payrolls of the school at $1S3.33 a
month His extras come thru a
contract with the former state board
of adm nistration.
Would Abolish system
In a letter to the new state board
Knapp today urged that the fee grab
hing system be abolished at the big
state schools and that the contracts
with professors. inspectors. lecturers
and visitors state in full the purpose
of the contract and the amount to
be paid.
Records produced last winter by
Auditor Knapp showed that university
professors were allowed extras II. fees
collected from cities school districts.
counties and individuals for cpecial
services. While in the employ of the
state and apparently giving their full
time to the state. the college men col
Iected extra fees for inspecting sewers.
water mains. disease germs. drainage
systems and lecturing on such subjects
az might be of local or general in
terest. The money collected for in
spections and lectures did not benefit
tn state treasury. but was paid to the
college professor. When Knapp de-
handed a revision of the system, il
was explained that the colleg, men
were expected to work but twslve or
fifteen or eighteen hours a week and
that such additional time as they
might have could be used to promote
private business as state employees.
altho they made personal claim for
all fees.
Schwegler, whose voucher was held
up by the state auditor, was one of the
