Change in Banking Laws A recommended change in the ban ing laws. would require banks to pl 50 per cent, of their net earnings in a surplus fund until the m increase the mi Pp from $15,000 to $20,000, empower the state banking board to control the issuanct of bank chartérs, requi banks to carry 20 per cent of their total deposits in United States state or municipal bonds, give the state banking board full control of state, building and toan associations and take steps to prevent the transfer of. bank stock to “ w mel y holders of banks which are in bi condition. He would accomplish this b: beget transfers of bank stock: illegal unless they are approved by the state banking board. The message also outlines a plan for placing depositors of closed banks in contro! of the banks’ affairs. Any group representing 80 per cent of the total deposits would be empower- ed to name five directors who would control the affairs of a closed under the supervision of the state banking board. Because of their in- terest in the bank, he said, such a board of directors would be better able to manage its affairs than any one else. partment the executive. recomm: that the “designation of locations, and the entire handling of projects” should be placed in its charge. North Dakota has not kept pace with other states in highway work, he said, and declared that the cost of construc~| tion is higher than it be be- cause of the “inefficieney” of present laws. Stresses Need of Safety Work Outlining the need for increased safety work, the governor reviewed the steps already taken to form the state safety council and recommended that an appropriation of 10 cents be made from each automobile license fee for its support. He also recom- mended careful consideration of the uniform vehicular code devised bj the national conference on street ai highway safety. Such a law, he ald would hot only control careless d ing but make cat ownership more: secure. Repeal of existing statutes dealing with the same subject mat- ter also was recommended. Commenting on the need for is safety work the governor said: “in w of the fact that the total aut 23,500 deaths and about 700,000 per- sons injured, without any allowani for the tremendous property loss, the need for and the probable val of safety work cannot be over es- timated.” Proper marketing is the greatest need of agriculture, the ‘message di clared and suggested that fullest, c operation be given flour mills, pac ing plants, creameries and other manufacturing establishments “so that we may be able to manufacture ucts at their real value and prevent such products from being mixed with inferior products.” Emphasizing the importance of agriculture as an industry, the gov- ernor expressed belief that its prob- lems can be solved “through cvoper- He expressed hope that congress “will be able to solye this important problem ih a way satisfac- tory. to the entire agricultural sec- tion” but expres belief that “we are in a better position to work out the solutions of our problems than other states are.” Manufacturing, banking and metchandjsi tries “are even now reali raged in agricultural fie out thee probloms,”.ke said. on quire all flour sold in, the state to bear a label “stating the kind | of wheat from which it is. made, whether hard spring wheat, soft wheat or winter wheat, giving the percentage of each, and that sGch label should also show the protein content of the wheat. from which the flour was ground.” Suggestion was made that it might. be well to install machinery at the state poalteasliny for thi ture of automobile licens markers in order to pi ployment for prisoners. will submit a report on the operation of similar plants in other states, he said.
