There are now nearly twelve hun
dred patients at the state asylum fur
the insane near Salem. The daily
total has been running between 1175
nd 1190 for some week . The
number is not likely to be decreased.
On the contrary, it is on the increase.
The gardens must be enlarged each
year, and calculations always made
for the future on a little larger scale
than were made heretofore. This
year there must be planted some
1100 to 1200 bushels of seed pota
toes, in order to raise enough of that
vegetable for next year's supplj', and
more than a hundred acres of land
must be devoted to the raising of
potatoes. So, in symmetrical pro
portion, with all the other vegetables.
The keeping of I lie insane is cost
ing the taxpayers of this state an
enormous sum annually. The... per
capita expense is not too large. The
patient are kept as cheaply as pos Jgans. Itisthelatestdiscovereddigest
sible, consistent with principles of ! ant aod tonic. No other preparation
. ... , can approach it In efficiency. It in
humanity. People , will keep on t Btantly relieves and permanently cure9
going crazy, as. Ions as the laws of
heredity and the operations and
syllogisms of nature remain the same.
The same causes will produce the
saine effects. There will be cases of
congenital insanity and idiocy and
tendencies leading to the more pro
nounced forms of the former, so long
as there are dissipated and diseased
and otherwise poorly equipped or
illy-mated fathers and mothers. The
same causes will produce criminals
and otherwise defective and poorly
equipped and ordered individual?,
likely to become public charges.
But the writer was speaking of the
asylum for the insane. It costs a
great deal of uioney r.eirly a third
of the revenue of the slate), and its
cost cannot be diminished. It must
met ease, at least proportionately as
fast as the enlargement of the slate's
resources subject to contribution lo
the burden, by means of taxation.
Is there no way to lighten the
burden ? ' .
There is a way.
There is a way to lighten it by
one third, as the writer is informed
by one who ought to know.
In New York the state is divided
into asjlum districts. Patients from
a certain group of counties arc sent
to a particular institution, located
near. When one is committed,
asylum commissioners for that dis
trict are informed. They go to the
locality from which the patient same
and there inquire concerning the
ability of the new ward of the state
or of his near relatives to pay. If
be finds him or any of them able,
a certain monthly rate is fixed, whicb
sum .becomes a lien like any other
tax. If he or they are less able,
then the monthly charge is fixed ac
cordingly. If not able at all, nothing
ia charged. If anyone so charged
thinks himself taxed too heavily, or
beyond his ability to pay, be may
bare the case reopened for a hearing.
In this way a large part of the bur
den is borne by those who are them
selves able to pay, out of their own
property or income, or by their rela- I
lives, upon wuuiu luey wuuui uiuci-
wise be a private burden, who are
able to pay. There are known to be
men and women in the asylum here
at Salem possessing a great deal of
property in their own rights. Others
have rich or well-to do relatives.
Still others have relatives who could
pay $5 or $10 a month, ami who
should be obliged to do so, since the
general public has assumed the great
bulk of the burden, the erection of
buildings, the purchase and improve
ment of lands, etc. The most able of
these patients pay nothiDg no.
There is no authority for the charg
ing of any dues, and in fact none for
the receiving of anj gratuity, even
were it offered. In truth, it is often
tendered by private individua's. de
siring the treatment of their relatives
or friends, or bj phjsicians wishing
to send their patients.
The same rule might well be in
voked in the keeping of all other
public charges, even the criminal
classes.
This subject is well wortliy of con
sideration. The Oregon legislature at its next
cession ought to provide for the
lightening of the burden in this
manner. Salem Statesman.
