the assessed valuation of the state
from about three hundred and four
millions to about four hundred and
firteen millions. This would have in
creased the county officers salaries in
almost every county in the state and
the people of the state would not only
have had to pay the appropriation of
100000, but would have had to pay
many thousands in excess of that in
the way of increased salaries.
"On my present trip to Europe, my
party and myself 60 first to Norway
and will there attend the exercises on
the Americana Norwegian Day, July
4th, when the Lincoln Memorial will
be presented to the people of that
country. From there we go to Swe-
den, down into Denmark, to Germany
and expect to see little of the Brit
ish Isles, and will sail for home prob
ably from Queenstown. believe
thoroughly that one of North Dakota's
greatest needs is more people, and
while this trip across the water is
primarily made for the purpose of
honoring large number of the peo-
pie of our state, yet it cannot help
but have a beneficial effect in calling
the attention of the people of north
ern Europe to North Dakota and
hope and believe that it will count in
some measure, at least, to turn the
, tide of immigration from northern
Europe to our state.
II have not made a campaign speech
since l have been governor of North
Dakota, but l have upon invitation
visited many towns in the state and
have spoken upon many subjects
which I believe the people of our state
are interested in.
"A good deal has been said with
reference to the reduction of interest.
l have always believed that the reduc-
ton of interest naturally follows the
increase in capital and the stability of
the country and the borrowers. In
the eastern part of North Dakota now
the average rate of interest for short
time loans is 8 per cent or less and
while the rate is somewhat higher in
the middle and western sections, the
bankers in these sections have to pay
higher rates themselves for the money
which they have gotten to loan to the
people. I believe that the bankers and
the borrowers alike will welcome re-
duction in the rate of interest and ]
shall be glad to use my influence to
bring this about.
"The proposition submitted by me
as to the loaning of the school funds
of the state is the only feasible prop
osition l know of. It never was my
thought that we should sell all of the
school lands of the state at one time,
but that with good crops we would
Il houo co1o of cor,,o of &ho
lands in every county this fall. This
would make a very large amount of
money available for loaning on farm
lands at low rate Of interest and ii
is on that class of loans that the
farmers need help most, and I know
of no other place where at the pres.
ent time large sum of money car
be made available to help the farmers
except from that source. I'want tt
see the farmers of the state helped
