Continuing. he said:
State Board Of Control.

have about LOCO persons now In oul

Improvement over our present system.
! Drainage.
| called the attention Of the last as
i sembly to the necessity Of changing our
laws pertaining to drainage, the present
laws not meeting existing conditions.
were cumbersome and too expensive IN
| their enforcement. think this subject
! has been sufficiently agitated and dis.
cussed that beneficial results will accrue
before the adjournment Of this session
and laws passed greatly improving the
present system and lnodus Operandi. !
am sure the members from the Red River
| Valley will actively interest themselves
| In this subject.
State Fairs.
Two state fairs have been held unde,
the provisions of the law passed during
the last session. viz: at Grand Forks
and Fargo. l think the appropriation
improvements made at Fargo are worthy
| Of especial favorable comment, and the
| attendance demonstrated the npprecia-
tion OF the people. We should aim to
manent facilities until our state fairs
attain popularity and efficiency similar
to those Of Minnesota. I believe an np-
| preparation Of at least S., 900 annually
should be made for buildings.
University Of North Dakota.
Through the untiring efforts Of Presi
donated the munificent sum Of $4,000
for the erection of a library building at
the university. A like amount appro.
priated by the state is recommended,
tion building may be erected suitable
for tho demands OF the present and fu.
ture.
The university board, after consulting
tho emergency board. made much needed
ing. expanding over $4,000. recon-
mend an appropriation to cover this ex-
pcnditure. The sanitary and other con-
ditions made the improvements impera-
tive.
.believe the preparatory and norma.
departments of our state university
should be discontinued. and the universe.
~ be purely what the name implies.
Real Estate Mortgage Foreclosure.
believe that portion OF the present
law permitting foreclosure Of mortgages
on real estate by publication should, in
addition to the publication, require no.
ti"e upon some party Interested as own
fr' guardian ,;,, trustee: or other person

Mill Tax Change.
The portion of the mill tax fund nov
l,e revised. The deaf and dumb school
at Devils Lake. with hut sixty-flye plI-
pills. receives more than the Valley City

channels During 1906 the deaf and
dumb school board entered into a con-
tract With nursery concern for some

from mill tan fund. When the state can
afford such luxurious improvements. II
is proper for the institution boards to
make direc. application to the legisla-
ture and the legislature to appropriate
accordingly. The deaf and dumb school
board exceeded their authority, as the
mill tax Is for maintenance" only
Reciprocal Demurrase.
The car situation OF the past severa
months has conclusively demonstrated
the necessity Of adopting some Droyi-
sons tending to regulate. II possible,
and preventing the recurrence OF such
this subject the consideration its I'M
portance just!fles Public service corpo-
rations should attempt what the name
implies or Pull down their signs and the
are fully justified in adopting reciprocal
provisions Of law requiring more ef
flcient service. This is topic about

III conclusion. gentlemen, desire TO
commend the welfare of the state to
ton. Yours Is high trust from the
people and should be well kept. The
state is prosperous. its harvests have
been abundant. and how best to con-
serve and enhance that prosperity by
wise legislation should be your constant
care.
