Blocked Olson Send | Message to Assembly $$$ —_____- —_—_¢ i Caught by Camera d orbit berm Program Embraces Relief Mon- ies, New Taxing System, Pensions and Utilities BOOKLETS GIVEN SOLONS Urges Legislature to ‘Face Its Problems’ Free From Party Prejudices From the outgoing chief executive — Ole H. Olson—Thursday came a legisla- tive program embracing provision for relief monies, a new taxing system, old age pensions and municipal own- ership of public utilities. The plan was Governor Olson’s farewell address to both senate and house, which was distributed in book- let form to the two houses Thursday. The distribution of the speech was .)made after the house had failed to move to meet in joint session, refusing to notify Governor Thomas H. Moodie that it was prepared for business. Olson urged the legislature to “face its problems free from prejudice—as free as possible for party prejudices —and examine each issue presented in the manner of one sincerely work- ing for the common good.” Leaving public life, Olson said he “felt that despite my personal short- I have honestly done my duty as it came to me. I have tried to be unafraid and sincere and I now leave you with my conscience clear and without regrets—may God guide you in shaping the destinies of the state toward better things and times.” Best Wishes to Moodie To the incoming governor, Olson extended the wish “he may bring the People of North Dakota peace, prog- Tess, prosperity and rain.” The acting governor advocated: Enactment of a tax law, based on the graduated land tax prin- a in distribution of utili- tles taxes. Assumption by the state of all responsibility of care for the in- sane, feeble-minded and tuber- cular. Correction of the old age pen- er eae sees te ve. Renewal of the law providing for a portion of motor vehicle registration fees to be used for interest payments on real estate bonds. farmers in setting up coopera- tives. “I believe it to be proper and neces- sary that we have a system of taxa- tion based upon what is commonly known as the graduated land tax principle,” the former goveror said, “that certain exemptions be granted owners of homes and farms in pos- session of and using their property as such and shifting some of this burden to those holding for specula- tion more land than they can use. Furthermore I believe that the only title to ownership of land belongs to the men and women who live on and the é &o that tax perenues from pubie utility properties may be “more equit- ably distributed,” Olson advocated s Farewell er Fire DEFENSE FAILS T0 PUNCTURE CONDON'S RANSOM TESTIMONY Denies Ever Telling Newspaper Man Kidnaping Was Done by Gang of Four CREDIBILITY IS ATTACKED Reilly Pre: Aged Educator for More Details of John's ‘Hollow Cough’ (Copyright, 1935, by The Associated Press) Flemington, N.
