In Session
= .
AT Pierre

The South Dakota Legislature
convened at Pierre Tuesday morn
ing for a two months session, the
Senate being called to order by
Lieutenant Governor Carl Gunder-
son, and Representative Frescoln
Of Tripp county was elected speak
er of the House of Representatives.
The krst day was taken up largely
in the appointment of officials Of
both houses and listening to the
address Of Governor McMaster and
the reading of the report of the
Efficiency Survey. Governor Nc
Master came out openly in favor of
Price Stablization of Farm Pro-
duct and urged the adoption of
the report of the Efficiency Survey.
The Governors inaugural address
was a clear cut declaration in
favor of governmental stabiliza-
tion of prices on principal agricul-
tural products. While pointing
out that the state had no direct
jurisdiction in this matter, he re-
commeded that the legislature
adopt a strong memorial on the
subject and send it to congress as
a possible influence with that body.
Noting that manufacturing pros
perity in our own country, as we'll
as in other countries, had been due
to governmental aid in various
ways, the governor declared that
agriculture has an unquestioned
right to share in the benefits of
artificial stimulation. 1T is just
as fair" he said, "for the farmers
to get a profit on their products
as it is for the standard oil comp
any to get profit on its pro-
ducts"
Because Of the many artificial
conditions entering into trade and
commerce, the governor character
lied the governing influence of
supply and demand as a myth. He
said the governments power to fix
the minimum prices would act,
automatically, in regulating pro-
duction and that possible minor
costs in maintaining the guaran-
tecd price would not involve as big
losses to the county as whole as
the present system of letting for
eign buyers regulate prices.
Referring to the report of the
effiency survey commission which
was released today, the governor
recommended the adoption of the
consolidated plan as outlined with
out constitutional changes, he in
timated that the legislature could
change some of the salaries sug-
gested for department heads under
that system, or make other minor
changes. but that the consolidation
