Seldom does so many of the rec
concentrations contained in gov.
ernor message become enacted in.
20 law as was the case with those
contained in Governor Norbeck s
message.
Among the Governors recon-
mendations which have now be-
come laws were:
Prohibition Law-The Govern
or recommending that strong law
with practical enforcement features
be passed to carry out the provis-
ions of the dry" constitutional
amendment.
State Constabulary with State
Sheriff-Providing for all county
sheriffs working under one head.
Also for a state enforcement officer.
State Hail misunderstanding
tor submitting amendment for hail
insurance thru a state department.
Irrigation projects assistance
The Angostura given special atten-
lion.
Workmen's Compensation Act
A law in keeping with similar laws
enacted in the most progressive
states of the west.
Market Commissioner and Ter
minal Elevators Providing for a
Market Commissioner and submit
ting an amendment which will al
low the state to erect terminal
elevators. In recommending this
legislation Governor Norbeck said:
To protect the man who produc-
IS the grain from the interests
which dictate and control the price
20 the advantage of the speculator
must be the duty of the state. :"
In the neighborhood of 35Olaws
were passed during the session, a
large number of them being
amendments to existing laws aud
appropriations relating to state in
stitutions. A large number of the
laws were corrections in existing
statutes. The legislature provid.
ed for a coditication of the laws and
desired that so far as possible the
present law be corrected for the
new work. Fewer new laws we're
passed than in several sessions last
past. One measure in which the
people are generally interested is
the 1. w. w. law which provides
heavy penalty for carrying wea-
pons on trains and investigating
train crews with police powers TO
carry out the provisions of this
measure.
While the legislature Of North
Dakota has been receiving much
publicity as a farmers Legislature
yet the fact remains that in the
North Dakota legislature the farm
ers are in the minority, while in
South Dakota 7S out of 156 are
farmers and stockmen, eight more
than majority, and the South
Dakota legislature has passed more
legislation Of interest to the agri'
cultural classes than has. any ses
sion of the legislature in the north
vest.
The farmers non-partisan leagu'
has urged the legislature to opet
the door wide enough to allow tn,
state to indulge in business under
takings that will help bring thu
producer and the consumer togeth
er and do away with the ,nonop
oily and private control of th
avenues of trade. Such an amend
ment strongly backed by admins
tration Influence was passed dur
ing this session.

Farmers to Get Twine at Actual
Cost Of Making

T3TmeIS 10 Oet lW1ue IL ACtUof
Cost Of Making
Pierre-For the first time the
farmers OF South Dakota are to
be supplied twine from the state
twine plant at cost. Governor
Norbeck, who is chairman of the
commission, to fix the price of
twine, insisted that it be given
to the farmers at the actual cost
of production, and accordingly
the price has been fixed for this
season, beginning with March
l., at twelve cents a pound.
This price is based ON last
years price for raw material.
The present market price of 81.
sal is 16 cents a pound, and it
this continues. it will increase
the cost of production next year.
The governor is also planning
to have state Irvine plant run
night and day, thus doubling it's
capacity. Last year the plant
manufactured 100000 pounds
of twine An output of 5000, GOO
pounds the present year will 60
far toward supplying the dc.
mand and will regulate the price
for all twine sold in the state.
| In stating his reasons for this
action Governor Norbeck said.
Il do not believe in the state
making one cent of profit from
the farmers on the manufacture
and sale of twine. The legisla-
ture provided for the establish
ment of the twine plant for the
purpose of keeping down the
cost of twine. and it should be =
Kept down to the level of the
actual cost of production, which
of course, includes the cost of
maintenance of the men who are
working in the plant ut the peni-
tentiary."
