STATE DEPoSIToRIEs.

The amount of money carried in our
treasury is increasing quite rapidly as
our state grows, the average monthly
balance during the past two years has
been $73I,S73.1o. This money is carried
IN the state repositories, the state re-
Iceiving interest on the monthly balance.
Dir present law regulating these de-
p0sitories should be amended in several
particulars. The provisions of that law
for the examination Of the treasurer's
office by the state board of auditors is
imperative and should be stricken out
and other means substituted. The pro-
vision limiting the amount deposited in
"a designated bank TO the assessed value
of its capital stock, is not complied with
and it IS very difficult to do So for the
reason that It is almost impossible to
ascertain what is the assessed value of
a bank $ capital stock Al more practi-
cal limit would be certain per cent
Of its capital stock, surplus, and u1di-
vided profits These are easily ascer-
tanned and more nearly represent the
banks reliability than the assessed value
of its capital stock. The law should
provide, too, that when a bank has been
designated by the state board of audi
tors as a state depository, it is entitled
to and shall receive as nearly as possible
a pro rata share of the state deposits.
Each state depository should be required
to file with the state auditor before the
fifteenth of each fnontli,sa statement Of
the daily balance Of the preceding month
land remit to him the amount of the in
terest due: All money, checks. drafts
For other funds belonging to the state OF
held in trust by the state, coming into
the hands of the state treasurer, should
be immediately deposited in the state de-
|positories and the treasurer relieved
from liability for loss Of all funds So de-
posted Penalties should be provided
for the violation of the provisions Of the
law.
BOARD OF CONTROL.
The management Of our public insti-
|tutioils believe should Be placed in the
hands of single Board of Control.
Such laws are IN operation IN a number
1 of states and during the year 4 have

bonds void and that they cannot be
paid from the source provided i'm the
acts under which they were issued.
The state is not legally bound to pay
these bonds. However, they were au-
thorized by the legislature; were
issued by state officers; the proceeds
were used to construct buildings now
the property of the state, and the state
will not repudiate them.
II The Normal bonds and the Indus
trial School bonds, $55,ooo in all, are
held by private parties and should be
called in and paid at once. The bal
ance are held BY the permanent school
fund and should be retired as soon as
practicable.
LIN 1907 there were issued $2Io, o,ooo
4 per cent tWile plant bonds, to pros

fund to operate the twine and cordage
plant at the penitentiary These are
to be paid from the profits arising
from the operations Of the plant;
Sal 900 of these bonds were paid from
profits up to Jan Il, 1904, and there
is now $58,83o. ST in the sinking fund
from the profits of 1904 applicable to
a further payment, which will reduce
the total by that amount. The plant

iInlnedlalely went lIlIO JOINT session IN
the house chamber where the inaugura-
ton ceremonies took place.
Governor Frank White, who retiresI
from the executive chair after four
years Of service, during which time Inc.
state has seen the most remarkable
growth Of any period Of its history and
whose administration has been one that
every resident Of the state should feel
proud of, read his BIS farewell message,
which recouIlts in straightforward, com
else language the great growth that the
state has seen since he first took the oath
as lis executive. His message was as.
follows:
WHITES MESSAGE.
To the Members OF the Ninth Leg
islative Assembly:
Gentlemen: In conformity with the
constitution and laws of the state,
j again have the honor to submit for
your consideration review Of the
of the state for the past two
years, together with some recommend
atoms for your action, that my ex-
perience and observation in the execu-
tive Office has led me to believe to be
expedient,
In general this biennial period has
been one of substantial and enduring
growth. The state is increasing rap
idly in population and wealth. Our
people are building themselves more
permanent and comfortable homes.
Good health and good living have
been with them.
The affairs of the state have kept
stride with the general development,
and those of us who have been a part
of the state administration for the past
two biennial periods note with consid-
cradle pride the many substantial inn
.provements made to our public insti-
.tutions during that time, and the ex-
scellent credit now held by the state.
Four years ago the retiring COVER
nor in his message submitted state
.meilt of the condition of the general
sfund, showing $4,000 OF short time
warrants outstanding issued to paycur-
rent expenses and $4,000 of vot1ch-
Eers upon the auditors table awaiting
payment, with less than $4,000 avail
able cash In the treasury TO meet these
demands. At the beginning Of the
present period, this deficiency had
been just about wiped out Our col
Elections have somewhat exceeded ex-
|pectation and we find after paying all
fixed charges and appropriations, $$o4,-
600 emergency appropriations, and
500 600 twine plant certificates, the
|year closes with a cash balance OF
|$78,736 .36 in the general fund.
Both the collections and expendi-
|tures for tile ensuing biennial term will
without doubt exceed those Of the one
lust closed. The ratio, however, will
|remain about the same.
The total receipts of the general
|fund from Jan. + 1908 to Dec. ST, 1904
were $I,342 ,5o4.77 and the expenditures
we're the same. 3sI
THE STATE DEBT.
When North Dakota became a state
her share Of the territorial bonded
debt amounted to $645, 900. These
bonds have been refunded from time
/ to- time ais they became due, except
/ |$I55ooo, which became due and were
paid May, 1902 leaving a balance d
$4o2, 900 of territorial debt in amounts
| and payable as follows: 4
