day and age all nations are taking
advanced positions upon the question
Of public health. and I would suggest
that the public health laws of our
state be given your earnest ~considera-
tion, and that you should call In for
consultation and help In the enact
ment of proper health laws the ablest
physicians in North Dakota.
Corporations.
We have many corporations doing
business in North Dakota. They need
us n we need them. There should
be harmony and a working in harmony
between us. / am not in favor Of
harassing any corporation simply be-
cause it is a corporation, but believe
n they should be given the same
rights that the individual is entitled
to, and no more, but that they should
have the same rights as the Individual,
and no less. We ant TO build up our
state financially, and we need the help
and assistance of the corporations that
are doing buslness within our bor-
ders, and a their active and
hearty cooperation in all that tends
and makes for the general good.
The old Soldiers.
This year at Gettysburg in July Will
be celebrated the nftieth anniversary
of that great and decisive battle. We
are nearly fifty years away from the
civil war, and those who too part in
it upon both sides and who were boys
or young men then, are now advanced
In years This reunion OF the blue and
the grey upon the field of Gettysburg
viii in all probability be the last grand
reunion that will ever be held by the
survivors of the civil war. / would
like to see every old solder within. our
state at Gettysburg this year, for there
they Will have the last opportunity
upon this earth ever to meet in a
friendly way those against whom they
fought q half century ago. The great
majority of the old soldiers OF North
Dakota are men in very moderate cir
cumstances. Could not the state well
afford, as a matter of sentiment n of
patriotism, to appropriate certain
~defraying the expenses Of all Of the
old soldiers TO the reunion that is to
be held at Gettysburg next Ju1yg
silver service.
-Four years ago one Of the great bat
Itieships of the union was launched

There remains about Sz,50o still 10 be

this service, and that the service be

named I'm honor OF U commonwealth.
Labor.
The labor problem IS an important
one. 1t lis important to the employer
as well as to the employee. 1T would
seem proper for this legislature to pro-.
vide for a deputy in the Office of the
commissioners af agricuIture and labor
who shall have special charge, with
ample power given him, OF all matters
pertaining To labor and the labor prob.
lem. With such a provision and with
q special ofI1cfa1 for the purpose named,
much could be done to adjust condi-
tons so as to supply labor, when need
ed. to he FARMERS or to anyone else.

this assembly give this serious constd-a
