Of your consideration.
Our constitution and laws have
made them an inseparable part OF our
educational system. Their work n
development should be in harmony
with that system. Unnecessary dupli-
cation oil courses of study should be
avoided. Each Institution should be
kept within its special sphere. Build
ings should only be erected when
needed and when funds have been ap-
propriated for the purpose. Loo IN
~1uences and jealousies should be elm
mated. Such results ! am convinced
can only be obtained by placing them
under a single control. l commend 1t
to you for your investigation.
Additional remedial legislation is
needed upon the following subjects:
To provide for the more complete
supervision of our state banks.
To provide for the more adequate
control of mutual insurance compan-
les. especially those doing a hail in
ran business.
To provide for the re-assessment OF
all property subject to taxation that
has for any cause escaped taxation.
To provide for the more rigid en-
forcement of our pure food laws.
To provide for the organization OF
new counties and the attaching OF un-
organized territory to organized
counties for judicial and other pur'

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
There will be held mex year at st
Louis probably the largest and grand
est exposition the world has ever seen
1t will be both national and interna
tional in its character.
1t will present in a special degree
and in the most comprehensive man
ner, the history, u and the de
velOpment of the states and territories
lying within the boundaries of the
Louisiana purchase.
This exposition is unier the direct
patronage of our government ant
every state and territory will probabl.
be represented. North Dakota beins
a part of the Louisiana purchase ter
ritory, should also be represented IL
a creditable manner. The exhibi'
made by the state at the pan-Ameri
can exposition at Buffalo in 100
proved a benefit to the state and ampl!
repaid the small eXpediture made
The much more extended scope o
the exposition at ST. Louis will ne
cessitate a much larger appropriation
to fully and advantageously presen
the states resources.
Since the last meeting of the leg
i~slatiye assembly of this state the ma
ton has mOurned the loss of the grea
and good president William Mckinley
His work and potent life cut down il

! In our W state we have lost quit
a number of citizens who have beef

: Bartholomew, al able jurist and TO
, eleven years judge of the suprem,
l court OF this state.
: Charles Cavilier. the pioneer ant
earliest settler of thet stae. whose lif'

In conclusion permit me to assur

interest of good legislation. Wit
prudence we can maintain the goo,

! Is rather to be avoided. To use tn

a Stability of foundation and Improve
