through secret service, is Il no,
equally good business for. the state
to make such provision! Why should
not the chairman of your board Of
directors be provided with / fund
to employ secret service officer III

Since. world war veterans have had
nearly eight lyeara in which to fin
claims the governor recommended
That. no further claims be received
after July 1, 1927.
Commenting on efforts to have the
Badlands- DIES ignated al . Roosevelt
National Park, the governor suggest.
ed that all school and other public
lands belonging to the state il that
section "be put in shape" SO that
title thereto can. be- transferred to
the department. Of the interior.
A special appropriation of $500 was
made by the emergency board to pay
for q survey to show the. benefits
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
waterway, the executive said. He
recommended that the Legislature ap-
propriate "a sufficient amount to
enable the state Of North Dakota to
do her part to bring this deep water
way to successful conclusion"
Consolidation Of the secretaryship
'of the industrial commission with
soIRe other department was recon-
mended, the executive explaining that
''the work of the commission has now
become so light that it could easily
be taken over by some other depart
ment."
Appointment Of Senators
Qualification of the law relating to
the appointment of United States
senators to fill vacancies was rec
commended "for the sake Of uni
forpity, SO that things may be more
clearly understood and to avoid. any
possible Misunderstanding in the
future"
A radio broadcasting station, rec
commended in his message two years
ago, again was suggested with 81
that 1t be used "in
telling the people outside the state
about the many opportunities North
Dakota offers home.seekers."
The building program for the state
capitol grounds suggested in the mes
sage provides for immediate erection
of q $3.50. 1000 building to be known
as the agricultural building. It would
be located opposite the Liberty
Memorial building. Another similar
building would be erected two years
later and the next two succeeding
years q fourth building, could be
erected. Upon the completion Of
these buildings all departments Of
the state would be properly housed
and we could then turn our attention
to the erection Of q capitol building
Of sufficient size to provide ade-
quatcly for the senate and house and
the executive department"
Enough money already is available
from the revenue from public lands,
set aside for the support of the
capitol building, to construct the
first unit in the building program,
# is said. although no reference to
this fact is made in the message.
The message ended in plea for
free and open discussion Of public
problems with sincere efforts to
reach proper solution. "In North
Dakota, as in other states, we have
points as to what is dccmed the So
luton of our problems" the message
concludes: This is as it should be
since free and honest discussion is
the surest way for arriving at a sane
and sound remedy. But no party, be
i ever SO strong, should lose sight
that, above everything else, we are
all working for the state of North
Dakota and that our common aim
and purpose at all times is the wei
fare Of our state and the happiness
9f our people. 1t will be splendid
thing when we, the people Of Northd
Dakota, of city and farm, are able
to view ourselves as closely related,
thereby creating a mutual, helpful
Actuated by that spirit and motive
our state will advance rapidly along
all lines of human endcavOf and you,
as members of the house and senate
and / as your chief executive. will
MORE promptly, wisely and faithfully
serve all the interests Of our people,"
