INCREASE IN PAY
IN INSTITUTIONS OF
STATE IMPERATIVE
Caretakers of Inmates Must Have
. .. . i
More Pay, in Opinion of Con

SOME SALARIES ADVANCED
Emergency Said to Exist Because

; UNDER AZURE SKIES
Salem, Or., ApHl t. Wages of the
employes at all the state Institutions
must be raised In order to keep a suf
flclent force on hand to 'take care of
the Inmates.
This was the concensus of opinion
;, among the members of the state board
of control and the; superintendents of
' the various state institutions, expressed
at a meeting of the board Wednesday
afternoon.
A special meeting of the board was
called for Thursday afternoon of next
week to take up the subject. At that
time the superintendents of those In
stitutlons which have not already in'
creased salaries will present revised pay
rolls showing the Increases that must be
made.
A few days ago the wages of the
employes at the" penitentiary were in
, creased, and at the meeting of the board
Wednesday afternoon the board granted
r a request from Dr. Steiner, superintend
ent of the Oregon state hospital, for an'
Increase of $10 a month in the salary
of all employes now receiving under $60
a month. Dr. Steiner's request was
based on a petition presented by 171 em-
ploye. He estimates that the increase
i will add $25,000 a year to his payroll.
'This is an emergency," he declared,
: "and something must be done at once
. or we, will be unable to keep enough
employes to run the institution."
At his request, ' the board also in
creased the salary of C. M. Wilcox, who
has charge of the poultry department,
from $1100 to $1800 a year. Mr. Wilcox's
report shows the poultry yard made a
profit last, year of $7800.
Practically all of the the employes at
the Oregon Soldiers' home were given an
Increase of $5 or $10 a month, at the
request of Commandant Markee.
All the other institution heads are
asking for increases In salaries for
their employes, but as some of them
were not In the form desired by the
board they were told to present their
, requests at the special meeting next
week. '
The . board authorised Dr. Steiner to
Invest $2500, of the fund accumulated by
his patients' personal accounts In Lib
erty bonds. About $2000 will be left
in the; fund, which he said was enough
to meet the needs of the patients.
From this fund $6000 has already been
Invested in Liberty bonds for the bene
fit of the patients.
Secretary Ooodln of the board was in
structed to investigate the matter of
t .., employing a dentist to give all his time
to attending the patients at the various
Institutions.

Some of the most productive lands in
Klamath county are located in the
Bonanza district, which has been handi
capped in the past by the lack of irri
gation. Various attempts have been
made during the past few years to get
water from various sources, but, from
one cause and another, they have
fallen through. The government, how
ever; has recently made the residents a
very reasonable offer for a water right
from Lost river, which may be paid out
In easy installments, and they have
been quick to avail themselves of the
opportunity. The power for the purn(
