Not more than two members of said committee shall be selected from any one political party, one member of which committee shall be from the Senate and two from the House.

Sec. 2. It shall be the duty of this committee to visit and fully investigate the penal, benevolent, reformatory, educational and all other State institutions, boards, societies and commissions and offices, to which any appropriation has been made by the Legislature at its last preceding session, before the convening of the General Assembly next succeeding such general election, and prepare and submit to the said Legislature a report of such investigation, with the amount of appropriation which such committee deems absolutely necessary to meet the wants of each of said institutions and offices, with such other recommendations as the committee deems wise. Such investigations shall occupy a period of not exceeding forty-five days. Such committee shall be composed of men of known probity and business ability. No person shall be eligible to membership on said committee who shall be interested financially, directly or indirectly, in any of such proposed appropriations. The pay of such committee shall be three dollars per diem each and all traveling and hotel expenses. They shall have authority to employ a clerk, and shall with their report file such tables and other information respecting said institutions and offices as they shall deem proper. The Auditor of State
