Board Of Regents.

For a number of years there has
been more or less agitation with refer
ence to the educational institutions
and within the past year this agita-
tion has become more pronounced and
l recommend to this legislature that
a committee be appointed from the
Senate and House who shall be given
full authority and sufficient funds to
make thorough examination of con-
ditions at the State University, the
State Agricultural College and all 9TH
er educational institutions; that they
shall be authorized to employ an ex-
pert accountant if they so desire, to
summon witnesses and to make
thorough and exhaustive investigation
and that they be given plenty of time
in which to do their work, that the
charges that have been made may be
proved or disproved and the truth
made known to the people of the state.
This committee should report as to
whether any Of the institutions are
doing work which is outside Of the
province of the particular institution,
whether any departments should be
dropped and also whether any Of the

sition of the states products at San
francisco. A building has been built
there which is a credit to the state
and fine exhibit has been gathered
together to be placed therein. l hope
and believe thae this exhibit will do
much for North Dakota.
The legislature at the same time
provided an appropriation for an ex-
hibit at Kristiania, Norway. This ex-
hibit was under the charge of the,
Norway Centennial Commission, was
a very good one, considering the lin
tied appropriation made for the pur-
pose, and undoubtedly did great deal
to call the attention of the people Of
Norway to North Dakota. A report
by the manager of the exhibit at KRIS
tiania has been made and will be pre-
sented to you.
During this year there is to be a.
large exposition at San Diego, Califor-
MIA, as we'll as in San Francisco. It
would be we'll for this legislature to
make small appropriation which
would provide some literature for dis.
tribution there. If the legislature
deem this wise, / would suggest that.
the appropriation be small one, bue.

the opportunity go by altogether at
San Diego for emphasizing the splen.

CAOoC HOA I6d6cS Luo luLcIeSL leaves
North Dakota and never comes back
unless it shall be reloaned to US, but
when the money is loaned by the state
from the school funds upon North Da-
kota farm mortgages, the interest i,
paid into the state treasury and is
paid outfrom there to help maintain
and support the schools of the. state,
thereby reducing the burden of school
taxation and We keep the money in
the state and people always prosper
where they keep their money at home
Then again, when interest rates are
lowered, the value of land increases,
At the present time the state buys
school, county and city bonds for in.
vestment of school funds and as a rule
the bonds bear four per cent interest
mortgages in the state at five per cent
but when We sell any of our school or
institutional lands, we require the buy
ers to pay six per cent upon the defer.
red payments on their contracts and
also to pay the iterest in advance.
This is not right and I would recon-.
mend that the law be changed to pro.
vide that the rate of interest on school
land contracts be five per cent, the
same as the rate upon farm mortgages
and that the party buying land be not
required to pay the interest in ad.
vance. This should apply not only to
those who buy lands in the future, but
also to the contracts now in force. If
the rate of interest is lowered from
six to five per cent, school lands will
bring higher price when sold.

North Dakota is more purely an az
ricultural state than any other state
in the Union and the larger part of tht.
burden of taxation falls upon the farm
ers and it should be our highest duty
to enact laws that shall be beneficial
to them. l wish to call attention of
the legislature to the laws now upon
our statutes with reference to mort
cages given upon crop security and
the increase of live stock and would
suggest that the Judiciary committees

the minimum capital of bank seek
ing charter under our our state laws
be increased from ten to twenty thou
sand dollars. This would still leave
the minimum capital less Than is re.
quired for national bank.
Rates Of Interest
l would recommend that the con.
tract rate of interest be reduced from
twelve to ten per cent.
School Textbooks Legislation
The question of enacting uniform
school textbook law has been consid-
cred by peveious legislatures. This
question was taken up by the State
Educational Association at it's meeting
in 1913. A committee consisting of
