THE STATE PRESS.
As an evidence OF what our neighbors
think of Governor Allin's vetoes, we pub.
lish the following extracts:
Hillsboro Herald: The overgrown in
FAINT toying with the editorial pen of the
Grand Forks Plaindealer bowls indig-
nantly about the governors veto of the
appropriations. The amount Of noise
raised over the prospective closing of the
university, suggests strongly the idea of
the possible loss of valued pap.
Hillsboro Herald: Wouldn't be a good
idea for the city of Hillsboro to have the
Mayville Normal school, with faculty and
students, transferred to this place? Hills
boro can take care of them, even'though
she has just come through a county seat
fight. If the normal school isn't good
enough, we might buy the university.
Grand Forks doesn't seem able to keep it.
Rlchland County Gazette: Since the
citizens or Grand Forks could not induce
Governor Allin to sanction a large ap-
preparation for the university, when there
! was no show for getting the money from
the empty treasury of the state, they
have decided to raise $4,000 by private
subscription and keep the school open.
This entities them to more admiration
than would all the kicking they could
do in the next two years.
Duuseith Herald: Governor Allin is
determined to reduce the expenses Of the
state and endeavors to give it a solid
financial footing again. He has reduced
all the appropriation bills wherever same
could be consistently done. * * The
governor did this after careful examina-
ton of all the possibilities of the income
for the state, and in order to carry the
credit of the state, had to do it. The
people will uphold him for it.
Grand Forks Herald: The state press
are nearly unanimous in approval of
Governor :Allin's motive in slashing the
appropriation bills. Two or three demo.
cratic papers are making puerile attempts
to manufacture public sentiment, but as
they are actuated by a mendacious par
tisan spirit and hope some way to make
capital for their party out of the misfor-
tunes of the state, their illusions are
characterized as childish and silly.
The Times Record says it is hard on
Valley City, but the governor was right
from the standpoint of state necessities.
The pops and the dems are about the
only ones who abuse Governor Allin for
his appropriation v%etoes, and the opposi.
ton of that sort is largely confined to
the locality of q crippled institution
Elsewhere leading political opponents
say the governor did exactly as his pred.
ecessor should have done two years ago
Hunter Herald: Governor Allin in
cutting down the appropriations showed
the good sense that any business man
would have executed in such a case. He
while surrounded with petitions and
persons interested, looked on the side OF
the people and vetoed such appropria.
tions as he thought best, and everywhere
the people are praising him. He has
saved the state from financial disaster
and if he follows with more common
sense his administration will be a great
benefit to the young state, who has tried
to carry more than she is able.
Ramsey County Courier: The people
of this vicinity endorse the action Of
Governor Allin in cutting down the ap.
preparations for the state. The financial
condition of our state is bad, and we are
in hopes that when Roger Allin leaves
the gubernatorial chair it will be on a
firm foundation again. Had the state
institutions been run economically since
the state was organized, and not quite &C
much stealing been done by the ones
who has the handling of them, there
would be money enough to keep them
IuulluSs Uuu LILO OluCo16 have udO Cue
feast and now they will have to suffer
the famine.
Mcintosh Republican: Governor Allir
has made himself famous and popular
with the people Of the whole state by
heroically using the knife on the appro.
priation bills, cutting out Sl20,590 from
the appropriation bills passed at the last
session of the legislature. The total ap.
preparations for the state institutions
amounted to S361,46O. Following are the
figures in detail: Soldiers home, amount
named in the appropriation bill, Sl8,42O
cut to $4,000; deaf and dumb school
s23,250, to $15,5OO; Mayville norma
school, $24,s6O, to S7,700; insane asylum
s138,9OO, to $685. 800; agricultural college
$4,000, to $11,25O; university, $4,000. tc
$15,980; Valley City normal school, 1874,
600, to $4,000, and penitentiary, $500
to s43,44O. The action Of the governor
closes the normal schools and university
