My duties as governor are taken away from me by reason of the ‘action of the federal court in find- ing me guilty of a crime. The only Teason why I cannot function as your governor is because a federal court found me guilty of a conspiracy which .{involved receiving contributions to iF 2 8 $ Ee 8 te i 7 F H gE i g we 3 H iE at i i 32 4 F B $2 tf aa 5 g ge Ei Fy 2 é + g 4% re : EE BE Beet aE ' nt E c Fe eB a 2 eH £ maintain our Nonpartisan League or- ganization in this state. They have convicted me of a crime of conspiracy because there happened to be in- volved less than $200 of money which they said was solicited from men who received federal money and because they claim that this constituted a conspiracy to obstruct or to defraud the federal government. The only Treason I am today not able under the decision of the supreme court to per- form the duties of my office is be- cause I have tried to maintain and to build a people's organization, support- ed by people's money, and because I have refused, in building that organ- ization, to take money from corpora- tions and to bow my head to their will and to their desires. If I have been guilty of any corrupt conduct; if the verdict of guilty, returned by the federal court, by the jury, and the sentence given by the judge is proper and just, I want this legisla- tive assembly to impeach me and to remove me from office. I want no uncertainty about this matter. I want this legislative assembly to in- vestigate and to investigate fully what sort of interference the federal government has been making in the conduct of our state affairs. I want this legislative assembly to investi- gate how the federal government and the federal officials have persecuted me, with the advice, and aid, of Ger- ald P. Nye, to the end that they might destroy not only me but our Nonpartisan organization in this state. I want this assembly to in- vestigate how the federal grand jury was drawn, how the indictment was returned, how the jury itself was drawn, how the court acted during the course of my trial, and what Pressure was brought to bear so that your governor might be convicted of a crime under the federal laws.

I want them to investigate not only political contributions that the Nonpartisan League have solicit- ed or that I have solicited, but also the system of political contributions that are now being made, and have been made. for years and years in this state by state officials who have been opposed to my administration, and by federal officers not only in this state but outside of this state. People Come First “I..want this legislative assembly {to investigate political contributions that are begin made and have been made by corporations—the big cor- ‘Porations as well as the small ones— to parties and organizations inside of this state for purposes of defeating the administration of the people. If you will make this sort of an investi- gation and will make your findings after You have made such an investi- gation upon all of the facts, and then you find that I should be impeached for the things that I have done in of-: fice and for the soliciting for which I have been convicted, not by our own laws but by a federal court, then I want you to impeach me and to re- move me, not temporarily but perma- nently, from office. I am a firm be- lever in the rights of the people and in the rights of the people to rule. At my election before I became gov- ernor, I received a large majority, | which expressed the will of the people Tuesday, 10, Miss Olga Berg, daughter of and Mrs. Olaf Berg, Stanley, and Sylvester, Ray, were married ilberteon. Miss Alice Olson Sylvester acted as attend- | by reason of in my favor. On June 27, 1934, even though I had been convicted of this federal crime, the people neverthe- less at the polls gave to me a won- derful vote of confidence. If they were wrong in this expression of con- fidence, if they were wrong by their vote—which must? have meant that they did not feel that I was guilty— I want this legislative assembly to say so and to impeach me. This leg- yes ey can act as a court Charges Olson Afraid “Ole Olson seems afraid to h-ve this legislature act and to investigate. There are laws that should be con-|¢*t# sidered. Is Ole Olson afraid to let you. “As I have already stated, I appear before you today as your governor, and while I,am recognized as such, & recent decision of our supreme court I am said to be dis- abled and I want to make it clear to people that what I am about to say is said for the sole purpose of you as far as possible in agriv- jay and that there may be no doubt to the necessity for a special ses- lands could legally discount either a Part or all of the interest in an en- deavor to help the farmers scale down their debts and refinance their loans through either the federal land bank or some other souree.

Consequent- ly, in my judgment it is imperative that @ resolution providing for a con- stitutional amendment to be voted Upon in November, be adopted at once, authorizing the scaling down of these debts and the refinancing of these loans. fiscal agent of the sity and school lands field agents of thi Dakota should do ® consolidation of partment of the Bank of North Da- kota and the land departme: state of North ing control being under the board university and school lands. “Also, I desire to bring to your tention the fact that there losses by the board in the of bonds, one loss amounting Nearly $100,000 in the purchasing of drainage bonds in Sargent county. This department should be investi- gated from top to bottom in the be- lef that its business methods should be changed entirely, particularly the system of appraisement of lands to be sold. I am satisfied that millions of dollars will ultimately be saved to the schools of this state, if priate action is now taken.‘\<Some months ago, finding that the ‘loans which could be made to the farmers of this state were too amount, being limited to the $400.00, I wrote to the president ing that the United States ment No. 97—T8rd congress) in that loans might be made there without regard to the restrictions provided in that paragraph as to the maximum amount which can be loaned to any one borrower. To this request the president, in a letter which reached me the latter part of April, replied, saying among other things the following: “Unfortunately, however, under the Present laws of North Dakota exten- sive operations by these associations are impossible due to the fact that they are not exempted from the sta- tutory prohibition against the taking of crop liens (a type of security nec- essary in production financing), and frpm the existing moratorium under which the foreclosure of certain mort- Gages is forbidden for an indefinite lod. “At the time the farm credit act of 1933 was enacted, legislation in sev- eral other states concerning such Matters as the acquisition of liens on crops was not well adopted to the ef- fective operation of product credit as- sociations. However, with a view to making the credit facilities of produc- proceeded Promptly to modify such legislation. Amendatory measures of that char- acter have been recently enacted in the states of Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Vir- ginia, Virginia and New York and are now being considered by the legisia- tive bodies of Rhode Island, Mas- sachusetts, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois and Louisiana. Law Repeal Necessary “From this you will note that be- fore the state of North Dakota can take advantage of farm credit act of 1933, providing for a permanent sys- tem of production credit, it is nec- essary (1) to repeal law passed by the people as an initiated meas- ure, providing that tl shall be crop mortgages given state North Dakota; and (2) that the exist- ing moratorium under which foreclos- ures on certain mortgages are forbid- den for an indefinite period be either lifted or modified. “Feeling that, in view of the fact that the people of North Dakota had twice voted against the validity of crop mortgages in North Dakota, and turther believing that the moratorium which I declared as governor of this state, was and is absolutely essential to the well-being of the rank and file of the citizens of North Dakota, I have refused to lift i He Hg uF i aa i I [ 8 2 ag is gE g if fa i | Es! & i Hl A He | | consideration and action of the legis- lature, : Wanted Funds for CCC Work “Also I desire to bring to the atten- tion of that blishing OCC camps I asked that thirty-eigh be allocated for North Dakota, only eight have been allowed and ap- First it was William Langer and now it is Ole H.

A new measure providing for an exten- sion of the period of redemption to three years, providing the mortgagor performs certain requisites which will show good faith on his part, is badly needed. These requisites should be kept down to a minimum. With that change, I can be confident that the supremé court will sustain the meas- ure. Hoped to Purchase Lands “In order to obtain these camps it is necessary for North Dakota to purchase certain lands for park pur- poses. This is for the purpose of pro- viding a nucleus to which the federal government may add at the present time, or to which the federal govern- ment or the state may add in the fu- ture. “The proposed arrangement is that the state of North Dakota shall ap- Propriate tely $37,000, which in turn shall be paid to the board of university and school lands for three and three-quarters sections of school lands and also, for 30 acres of pri- vately-owned property, which joins old Fort McKean about 7 miles south of Mandan. If the state will purchase this land and own it, the United States government will establish three all-year camps, three six-months’ camps, and two three-months’ camps, and will employ roughly one thou- sand North Dakota citizens to work in these camps; and during the com- ing year spend over $180,000 on mate: rials and roughly $1,000,000 for cloth- ing, food and wages for these men. There is no way in which this state could take advantage of getting these parks in North Dakota and employing these men without calling the legis- lature, so that we might arrange to the land.
