There is no question but that much
Of the coal that comes into North

-Four years ago one Of the great
battleships of the Union was launched
the "North Dakota" A silver ser.
vice was ordered for presentation to
the ship, which was named after our
state. There remains shout $500 still
to be paid for this service and I would
recommend that the legislature appro.
pirate this money to finish paying for
this service and that the service be
presented to the ship which has been
named in honor Of our commonwealth.
The labor problem is an important
one. Il is important to the employee,
as web as to the employee. It should
seem proper for this legislature to
provide for a deputy In the office Of

with ample power given him, Of ali
matters pertaining to labor and the

therefore the exact amount cannot b
computed. The amount, however, is
! known to be large, and the. frauds tina
have been perpetrated in many case

remedy this it is suggested that car
full drafted Law be enacted to compe
all corporations or concerns desiring t
sell shares or stock in the state Il
apply to some fixed authority befor
being permitted to do so, and to b
required to show to. the satisfaction
Of such authority, the capital behin'
it, its real and tangible property il
the way Of assets, the genuineness 0
its business and enterprises and al
matters necessary for the protection 0
the people.

consideration.
