IN North Dakota
"Ec-.h Dakota IS a comparatively
young state. having bee. admitted .
the union only 40 years ago When Te
became a state IN 1889 Indiana. Is q
J stAte, was IS years old. limos =.

[ these states Of the middle YES. have
! had from one 10 three generations
the start OF US. We arc pioneers -
statehood. A. the p.esen. time I'll
sixteenth governor IS in office. and I.
Is only since 1909 that state officials
have been required 70 reside a. thc
capital. Before tina. time .hey had
lived in their respective sections c.
the state and trareied 10 the capital
only when necessary 70 perform their
duties.
The first state levy was made Il.
1890, Immediately after statehood. In
1903 the legislature made an appvo-
priation Of 81 900 to buy a team ard
carriage. with harness. for the use u
the governor. This was only a few
years after the censas-taker. n terri
torial days, was greatly .aconyeri-
cnced in his efforts 10 get an accurate
count OF the population because such
q large proportion @. the people were
away on their annual buffalo hunt.
All Of this made me realize how fen
have been the years Of our statehood.
while eastern states date from the
Revolution. We. as a state and people.
have gone far since that day and time.
Incidentally. ii occurred TO me tha.
4 state so young in years and expert
ence might have little to offer IN an
occasion like this to older and
experienced states. Then again, I re-
called that the youth OF today feel
that older people and institutions may
be fettered BY their very presidents
and conventions. however worthy they
may Be, and it gave me courage TO tell
Of our young efforts TO gain that state
OF perfection in public affairs Tor
which wc are all striving.
Public Depository . Feature
aone Of the outstanding features Of
our system is the single depository for
public funds. All collections from the
l~reasurer's office are required b. law
70 be deposited in the state depository.
known Is the Bank OF North Dakota.

trial commission OF our state. The
