REASONS FOR SPECIAL SESSION
Governor White States the Reasons for His
Belief that an Extraordinary Session
OF the Legislature Should be Called to
Meet Institution Emergency.

sum would tide the institutions oveH
the present emergency but | will be
able to arrive at q conclusion after
making visit to the different institu
tutions have gone ahead in good faith,
let contracts and incurred indebted
ness which calls for some action by
the state, in my opinion. The James
town asylum is badly in need of a
new ward building, and the trustees
let contract before the bonds were
declared illegal The Valley City nor
NAL school trustees also let contract
for their new building, and some $4,000
has been expended by the contractors
in good faith. Much of the lumber
and building materials are on the
ground. and the institution will be
badly hampered by the lack of suffi-
cient accommodation for its increasing
number of students. At the state deaf
school obligations have been incurred
upon the strength of the purchase of
the bonds by the state board of univer-
sity and school lands. The state uni
versity at Grand Forks has consid-
cradle Indebtedness, of which a large
share is soon to fall due. All these
matters can be considered, and legis-
latiOn enacted in session of three
or four days that will cover the exist
ing conditions. The expenses of such
session need not exceed 10000 The
principal expense would be for the
mileage of the members and it is not
likely that all of them could be pres
ent at special session 1t is my de-
sire to reach an agreement among the
several institutions as to the provis-
ion to be made for each. so that there
will be no friction or jealousy when
the session convenes and the appro-
priatiOns are proposed"

BASIS OF WAGE INCREASE.
Cost Of Living Fifteen Per Cent High

cerning the price of commodities in
districts where the organized work

association has discovered that the
cost Of living has increased l5 per cent
during the last five years and has de.
cided that wages should be increased
in like ratio. In many cases the IN
crease already has been granted IN
future cases this will be the basis OF
wage raises.
For more than a decade the EN-
ployers throughout the country nave

In a statement to the Tribune re-
gardng the special session of the legis-
lature to be called in September for
the purpose of making provision for
the emergency existing in the several
state institutions arising through the
failure to negotiate the bonds author
ized by the last session of the legis
lature. Governor White stated that
he believed the conditions justified
the calling of the special session, and
that the finances of the state were
such that an appropriation of 800 900
could be made Immediately available
at the different institutions, and an ad-
ditional appropriation of $150,000 to
be made available in March next "a
year ago. said the governor in speak
ing of the matter, "the state was bor
rowing money for its current expenses.
We have paid all floating indebted
ness. and there is now a balance of
$150,000 in the treasury after paying
all current expenses. The receipts
from all departments of the state have
been larger than expected. Taxes
have been well paid, and the appro
priations of the last legislature were
so guarded that we now have surplus
which will permit some provision to
be made for the institutions For the
ensuing year we will have larger re-
ceipts than this year. The valuation
of the state for purposes of assessment
was estimated last winter at about
$142000,000. 1t has risen to $147 100000
which gives us more revenue than we
expected. The state is in the best fin
ancial condition of its history, which
will enable the appropriation of money
badly needed by the institutions.

cation into all the circumstances what
