Plans to Save State Money.
The governor then proceeded to
urge that no new boards or commits
sions be created, but that in SO far
as possible boards now existing be
consolidated. He recommended that
the present: tax commission be re-
duced from a membership of three
to one man, who will be member of
and work with the state board of
equalization thus saving six thou
sand per annum in salary. He rec
commended one salaried man and two
state officials to compose the state
board of control, now consisting of
, three salaried members, Saving an
other six thousand dollars, and hav-
ing one directly responsible head" :"
He also recommended the abolition
f, of the board of experts, and making
! the parole board and the board of
pardons one.
Advocates Radical Changes.
,, AS predicted, the governor advo-
Gated radical changes in the present
educational system. "Our school
system to be unified and uniform
must begin with the primary and on
up, including the university" said
the chief executive. but we have a
divided and disunited system in that
the state board of regents, the state
board of education and the state de-
partment of education exercise a
divided authority and control. This
divided and disunited system does
not work out to the best advantage to
the school children of the state. 1t
has tended to work great harm to the
rural schools, for these schools are
directly under the supervision of the
state department of education. whose
head is subject to removal every two
years. There should be greater uni
fcation in our school system, with a
consequent increase in efficiency.
This is the tendency in all progress
sive states. therefore recommend
that the present state board of re-
sents and the state boarad of edu-
cation be abolished, and that their
powers and duties and certain powers
and duties of the state superintendent
Of public instruction be transferred
to and exercised by single board of
education to consist of not more than
FIVE members. This board should
have the control and administration
Of all public schools and higher In
stitutions Of learning and should
have power to appoint a commission
er Of education and inspectors, whose
special duties would be to supervise
and promote the best interests Of the
public schools, with special attention
to raising the standard OF our rural
schools
Pleads For Rural Schools.
Declaring that the federal appro-
priation under the smith-Hughes law
must be matched dollar for dollar by
the state to give North Dakota the
advantage OF vocational training, : the
governor recommended an appropria-
tion OF $4,000 annually for this
purpose. The governor expressed the
belief that the rural schools. on 9
proportio basis. should receive
three times the amount of stats sid

now received by the city schools, and
that instead of one inspector, as at
present, they should have three. The
city schools now receive $4,000 per
annum and have one inspector, while
the country schools receive $112,50O,
and have one inspector. The gover--
nor declared this ratio unfair on a
basis of rural population and per-
centage of taxes paid by the farmers.
He insisted. that country children.
should have an opportunity to re-,
ceive at least a good common school,
education.
Would Safeguard Health.
The governor recommended legis--
lation providing for full-time state
health officer with an Office at the
capitol and for county health boards
to be accountable to the state board,
he endorsed county school nurses
and declared each county should have
at least one, employed for full time.
He also advocated an appropriation
of $12,548.48 per biennium to enable
the state to take advantage of bu-
reaus for the suppression of venereal
diseases, in cooperation with the
state board of health. He also ad--
vised an appropriation which will
enable the state to cooperate with !!
the federal government in the treat.
ment of trachoma, for which ma
tional hospital has been established
in LaMoure county.
Wants Defense Council Continued.
The governor asked sufficient ap--
preparation for the state council of.
defense to continue it's operations to !,
May /, and also to take up present
deficit of $500; he urged that de-
fects in the motor vehicle registra-
ton act be corrected. and that the.
state bonding law be amended to-
make it more efficient and less cum
bersome. He recommended that
county and city examiners be trans
ferred from the bank examiners Office
and be made part of the state au
ditor's force and that uniform set
of books for county Offices be adopted.
Urges Standard Sleds.
With view to improving our
roads in winter and making hauling
on sleds a safer proposition, the gov
ernor recommended a practical law to
introduce the use of wide-track
sleds. He urged that attention be
given to labor legislation, "long neg

endorsed by organized labor receive.

advocated provisions for the safe
