House Members Vote to Con-
SOIidate State Boards.
Efficiency Sacrificed for Econ
Omy, Layton Asserts.

With three votes to spare, the house
today passed the state manager bill
by vote of 66 to 40. A number of
strong administration members OPP
posed the bill on final roll call and a
majority of the Democrats opposed
tho bill. Frank L. Martin of Reno.
author of the bill, was able to rally to
his measure enough votes to put
across the consolidation measure in
spite of the split in administration
ranks
Explaining his vote. Walter A Lay
ton of Osborne, speaker pro TEN, de-
clared the bill to be the most radical,
impractical and visionary piece of leg
islation that has come up for consid-
Grafton Under the Martin bill,
which will become a law if it passes
the senate, the state boards of con-
are abolished and four men will serve
as a board of managers. Three of
the members will serve practically
without salary, while the governor
may appoint a general manager for
all state institutions who shall receive
a salary of $4,000 a year.
Three Votes to Spare.
The bill had come from the house
committee of the whole after two
days of debate. Final roll call today
gave the bill siXty-six votes. three
more than constitutional majority.
Il consider this bill one of the most
radical, impractical and visionary
pieces of legisla ton that has come be-
fore US for consideration during this
session of the legislature" said Wal
ter A. Layton, strong ADMINISTRATION
member, in explaining his vote in op-
position to the bill. I'VE are seeking
to assimilate and merge the work of
the various boards that shall come I'M
der the supervision of this bill; work
that is absolutely impossible to merge
and assimilate.
You are taking the work from the
various boards-work that has re-
quircd the entire time of nine to ten
men and merged into a board of four
men. At the same time you have not
only asked these four men to act
without pay, but the promoters of
the bill have admitted that the board
as provided for in this bill cannot be
expected to give more than two or
three days of their service each month
for the performance of the duties of
the office to which they would be ap-
pointed.
Efficiency for Economy.
I'm this case we are absolutely sac
rificing efficiency for economy sake.
This will eventually prove to the state
CT Kansas to be the most costly ex-
pertinent and tryout that we have ex-
perienced in any piece of@asislation
which we have sought to impose upon
the people 1, therefore, take great
please in voting no.

TO GIVE UP CHILDREN
BY Judge Henry Neil
One hundred and sixty-seven chill
dren were taken away from their de-
serted mothers and sent to institu-
lions last year by the juvenile court
of Chicago. This is the official re-
port of Joel D. Hunter, chief prOba-
ton officer of this court.
These children were taken away
from their mothers an the theory
that depriving deserted mothers of
the care and companionship Of their
children would prevent other men
from deserving their children.
The original mothers pension law
of 1911 pensioned these deserted
mothers, but certain interests
changed the law in 1913, depTiving
them Of pensions.
The circuit court of Cook county,
Chicago, will decide within a few
days the question of whether it is
constitutional to pay tax funds to the
commonly called sectarian institu-
lions to which some of these children
were sent.
1t cost three times as much to keep
these children in the institutions as
it would to keep them with their
own mothers by the mothers pen
sion system.
A very. complicated situation is
here presented. If the court decides
that these commonly called sectarian
institutions cannot be paid money
out of tax funds, will the institutions
send these children back to their
mothers and give up this plan of TAX
ing children away from deserted
mothers, or will they solicit private
funds to keep these children away
from their mothers. This is the ques-
ton that is interesting many officials
in Cook county.
There are now TAO mothers and
about 5000 children on the mothers
