Mr.. BEAN of Minot: Mr.. Speak
err | am Of the impression that we

Tor this reason
The SPEAKER: Does the gentle

Mr. BEAN: Mr.. Speaker. l would
make such a motion. ! would refer
to PAGE II of the Governor address
and wish 10 read a paragraph: II
must also also renew the recommen-
dation made two wears ago that some
affective method be devised for pre-
venting the sale Of milk from diseased
COWS. II is absurd TO go on enduring
the loss of life in our state from tu-
berculosis and spending vast sums
of money attempting TO check and
cure the disease without forbidding
the sale of milk from diseased COWS.
Now ] would say that following
along this IDEA we have laws which
prevent the sale OF milk from uiS-
eased cows. but We de not have any
law now that pledges man TO mo
out whether his COWS are diseased
or not. and with that point IN view.
have introduced some matters

report and be enacted into law. Your
recommended ton of this year. o. what
we spent last year. will be totally i'll
adequate. and it has teen my con-
;ention all along that this matter
should simply remain without action

proposes 10 do. 1t seems to me this

concerned that this be left open UNI
