Governor Makes Statement.

The 1925 legislature appropriated
too much money, in the opinion of
Governor Christianson, but otherwise
it made a good record, he said We'd
nesday in passing comment on the
results of the 44th session. The gov
etnor reiterated his previous stand
that appropriations could have been
held below the S40,0O0,000 mark.
His statement in full follows:
"The 1925 legislature appropriated
too much money. Otherwise it made
good record. 1t passed the bill re-
organizing the state government,
which will give the governors office
the power to check the expenditures
of state departments. The bill does
not go as far as it should in eliminat-
ing and consolidating agencies of gov
eminent, but it provides a means to
study the problem and make further
recommendations to the next legisla-
ture.
at is unfortunate that most of the
unnecessary and Objectionable appro-
priations are in such form that they
cannot be vetoed, under constitution
which gives the executive power to
strike out but not reduce items. The
total appropriations would have been
held down to $39,000,O00, and should
have been.
1.-THE legislature showed a COM
mendable disposition to pass more
laws than have been enacted at pre-
vious sessions, and to frown on pro-
posals for two state activities.
I'm my opinion the most serious
mistake of the session was the failure
to enact legislation compelling local
units of government to provide def
mite and irrevocable means for the
liquidation of their bonded indebted
ness. It is evident that the practice
of mourning bills for posterity to pay
will continue at least two years long
err"
The tax legislation that finally
went through the legislature was more
corrective in nature than it was i'm
portant.
Farmers Receive Aattention.
The farmers principal concern
about the Minnesota legislature this
session seemed to be to make sure
that he would be able to get some more
loans through the rural credits sys-
tenn. The legislature is going to let
him have a maximum of $30,000,0O0
more, this to be in addition to the
SAC, 000, 900 allowed by the 1879 legis-
lature, all excepting s5.00o,000 Of
which has been distributed.
The legislature decided to go ahead
with the rural credits activity in spite
OF demands to cut down the work
