1t would bring more taxpayers and more
n. BROOKE said his section had suf-
@neh t as anti the s%e visitation sf of Providence o%t fenG ,h as
constellation of sister states North Dako-
ta's star, and you have only. the stripe-ft
emblem of degradation. He did not want
her to be the only n missing. He be-
lieved it would be a measure Of economy
in the fullest sense of the word. Our peo-
pie want immigration. A proper display
will bring that. Prosperouslpeople. will
come in and buy our m~ortgaged and de-
serted farms.
Mr.. KEARNEY said that if the state
was in good condition no one would
sooner vote for the appropriation than he.
We hear the Red river valley members
speaking of the glory and beauties OF the
country; but the other portions need aid.
The Worlds Fair will benefit the land
spectators, but l can't see that it will be
of much use to the small farmers. What's
the use of the Red river country talking
that way to us-we who can't even shoe
our children.
MI. STROM said that the farmers of
Trail county did not want the money ex-
pended. Ii the state was rich enough to
make a proper display, he would favor it;
but S25,OOO would do nothing but pay a few
salaries.
Mr.. PEABODY said that those in favor
OF the bill were not presenting the ques-
ton fairly. They seek to make it appear
those opposed to the appropriation
are also opposed to the display. That is
so. 1t will be of benefit to some, but
to the small farmer. He was infavor OF
the board: Let those pay who receive the
benefits. If a subscription is gotten
up, | will contribute as much as l can
Mr.. McCULLOCH: 1t must seem very
strange to outsiders that, when some of our
people are abroad asking aid, we, their
atoms for DISPLAY y The Tfe r peopies Of ap the Red
River valley wanted a display, and, if they
thought themselves able to pay for it, he
said that the railroads Would put
up their share. He could see where
1t would be to their interest to do
SO, and he had no objection. But, if we
have any money to give away, let it be
in the state. Many of them are held here
only by a thread. | think more of those
who have been here for years %rOughing it,
than | do of those who are not here.
Mr.. BURTON said the appropriation
was not all wanted at once. Only $4,000
was to be paid over to the board the first
year.
Mr.. SKINNER said that a few days g
there was a bill up here to appropriate
money to take steps to ascertain whether a
new Industry of great value to the state
could be established here. 1t was defeated.
1t would have been worth much more to
the state than this fair. 1t wasn't in the
interest Of the Red River valley; it was for
the drouth-stricken districts. The mem
bers of the house said they couldn't afford
it.. If they couldn't afford that-worth
fifty times as mucll-hOW can they afford
this?
MI. BROWN said he had heard much of
the poverty of the state but he knew some
thing of North Dakota, and he knew that
there wasn't a man, woman or child with
in the borders of the commonwealth that
was hungry or naked. II those who have
proppered would put their hands in their
pockets there was 10 need of seeking out
side aid. If we do not present a c%reditable
display at the nations fair, we ought to
hang our heads in shame. He would vote
for the bill.
Mr.: KEARNEY said that, after solicit
ing aid from abroad, it would be more to
our credit to stay at home. North Dako-
ta's going to the Worlds Fair would be too
much like a beggar buying a chaise to ride
in.
Mr.. GRADER said: The people of
Pemblna county don't want an appropri-
alton. II they haven't money to go with,
IlSy VIII SGLy dG llOllC.
Mr.. BEARDSLEY had some land in the
Red river valley that he came by honestly.
1t would be a good thing for him PERSONAL
ly, II the state should be represented: but
the people who sent him, he was certain,
did not want the appropriation, and he
should Vote against it.
The bill was lOSt-29 to %.
MIR. RICHIE was called to the chair.
Then the other tWin-NO. 6-came dane
ing before the footlights. This bill didn't
want II immediate appropriation, but
sought the appointment of a board Oftrus-
tees.
The debate was of the same character as
previously outlined on the preceding
blii, and was participated in by Messrs.
Ollver, Gill, Burton, Kearney, McCulIoch
Next on top was house bill 1el, as
amended by the aggregation On the up
