No Wage Cuts in State Pay Forecast by Langer: Governor-Elect Hopes to Cut Taxes by Getting More for State’s Money The text of the speech given at 9 o'clock Monday night, by Governor Elect William Langer over Radio Sta- tion KFYR follows: Friends: Tonight I speak to you not only as the governor-elect of North Dakota, but as a citizen of this great state. First of all, I want to emphatically impress upon the minds of every man and woman that it is the deep, sin- cere desire of my associates elected with me and myself to give to North Dakota one of the finest, best admin- istrations that it has ever had. It is our hope and we shall unceasingly strive to make that hope certain that during the months to come all of us can work unendingly, whole-hearted- ly, enthusiastically for the welfare of the state and of each and every one of its people. Books to Be Open we want to assure you that we shall have good, clean, honest, effi- clent government and so at the very outset of my talk to you tonight I wish to extend an open invitation to anyone and everyone that while I am governor of the state, the books and records of every transaction dealing with public funds will be open books and open records subject to examina- tion by any citizen who cares to make such examination, Not only that. but as soon as I assume office on Janu- ary 5th, I propose to issue an execu- tive order that the books and records of every transaction occuring within the last six years, and taking in all the time that I was governor before, be open to public inspection and au- dit. The people of this state are en- titled to know just how their business has been transacted in the past, how it is being transacted now and how it will be transacted in the future, and as governor, I shall insist on open, free, pitiless publicity extending into the innermost recesses of any state business dealing with the expenditure of every single dollar of public money. Raps at Opponents And in this connection may I not be permitted to say how I sincerely regret, nay, despise the assertions made by a few unprincipled men and women that graft and dishonesty ex- isted when I was governor before, when the books, and records, and documents and the papers speak for themselves. When, after a huge ‘mount of money had been expended by both state and federal govern- ments, it develops that not one penny of money was misappropriat- ed, not one penny embezzled, not one book but which balanced. No ‘Starvation Wages’ The political campaign is over; the time for action is here. On January 3, when we take office, it shall be our aim to reduce taxes, but they will not be reduced at the expense of human suffering. They will not be reduced at the expense of young children go- ing- without an education. They will not be reduced by paying starvation wages to state employes, or teachers in the public schools, or at the higher institutions of learning. They will not be reduced by the employment of cheap, inefficient help, but on the contrary it shall be our aim to reduce taxes by insisting upon the state get- ting 100 cents of value for every dol lar it expends and by protecting the state's interests in every possible way. the political campaign you folks studied the various platforms of the different parties. You are familiar with the pledges that were made.

In a three or four-cornered race that'is almost invariably the re- sult, for had any one of the five can- didates for governor running this year been elected, they would not, by ne- cessity, have received a majority of the votes. In America good citizens pay no attention to quibbles of that nature. Tonight we are not interested in policies nor in recriminations. We are interested only in what can best be done for the good of the state. First of all, tonight, it seems of the highest importance that in every pos- sible manner the fullest, completest cooperation be given the federal gov- ernment. ‘Will Work With President The people of this state gave the president an overwhelming vote. As & canddate for the governorsnip I did not oppose him. Consequently, we are in particularly fine position to work hand in hand with the federal admin- istration. Mr. Moses, the Democratic candidate for the governorship, a fine, outstanding gentleman, has already pledged himself to work shoulder to} 91). shoulder with us, both in the state and nationally, and I know that we can count upon his help. I desire to pub- Ucly thank him for his patriotic atti- tude. Mr, Moses has been joined in his congratulations to’ me by the Democratic candidates for congress, Mr. Henry Holt of Grand Forks, and Mr. Jess Nygaard of Jamestown. Both of these men have also pledged their Patriotic assistance. I believe this means that, working together, we can secure the completion of all the fed- eral work now pending in this state; the fulfilling of additional plans for the carrying out of the Missouri di- version, the building of industries, of dams, the proposals set forth by the state planning board, and scores of numerous other projects tending to develop this great state. Expect Federal Help Likewise, I believe it ices the continuance of that great help which the United States government has given to us in relief, old age assist- ance, and in the expenditure of large sums of money in various other wa! ‘She people of North Dakota appri jate this help. They appreciate the attitude of the president, his cabinet, and the congress that made the ap- Propriations, and with the continued assistance of the government, North Dakota, helped to feed the nation, helped in- dustry and labor by using the mater- ialssthey produced, and paid the high freight rates on the products shipped out, has only been getting the affec- tionate help which one member of the family of the nation gives to the other and which the parent gives to a child.

We bave given our Ratgonndhend beret’ oad our youth to the preservation nation. Never in all its history has behind other In the great galaxy of states stands North Dakota, serene, forceful, pow- erful, ylelding neither to the dema- gogue, the rich capitalist, nor to any would-be dictators. She stands among the other states as a fine example that here we have a progressive gov- ernment, a government controlled by the common people of the state, a government that says that the inter- ests of every man and woman, no matter how humble, must be pro- tected; a government which protects the old, the blind, the poor, the crip- pled; an orderly government which Says that though the courts may err, that nevertheless they shall be re- Spected; a state government which may well be the envy of surrounding states; a state government which has reverence for the accomplishments of the past, but one which goes firmly, surely, unhesitatingly forward to strive for finer, nobler things in life; @ government which has the sagacity to fight for its rights with every ounce of its power, but yet a state govern- ment which yields to every right of the humblest man within its borders. ‘That is the kind of government we Gedicate ourselves to, the kind of gov- ernment that the rank and file of the people want; the kind of government. that says that every interest, public or private, must be protected Asks Cooperation The business interests of the state and a great many of the leading daily and weekly newspapers have already indicated their desire to help to fight for a finer, cleaner, better North Da- kota; to fight to see that nobody shall go hungry this winter; that all have sufficient clothing and fuel; that nothing shall interrupt the course ef giving work and employment to just as many as we possibly can. I ask these businessmen and these newspapers to continue their help and support so finely and graciously given, because it will mean so much to us North Dakota enters upon a new era and I believe legislation should be Passed inviting the location of pack- ing plants, sugarbeet factories and other large industries. I believe na- tional legislation should be sought asking the government to establish large elevators and warehouses to store our grain within the state. And also we should seek @ system of crop insurance. We are all agreed, I believe, that no one state can engage in crop insure ance alone, but that crop insurance must be on a national scale. Prosperity, Happiness Is Aim As the chosen head of the new ad- ministration I pledge the business and farming interests of the state the fullest cooperation. I want to see Prosperity and happiness come back. to North Dakota and I will exert every effort toward that end. We do not want wild, irresponsible legislation and I shall welcome sug- gestions from various businessmen, farmers and 1aborers all over the state for the governor's message to the legislature. Write in, and write me soon and often. The legislature will face a tremend- ous task and suggestions you send me will be considered and incoporated in my message to the incoming legisla- ure. I have been tremendously pleased by the support of citizens of all po- litical beliefs to get down and work for the good of the state. Even this tadio time tonight is being donated by KFYR and I hope that I may have the privilege of speaking over some of the other radio stations also, because, frankly, we are facing a tremendous job and fight to overcome the effects of the drouth and results of crop losses. A fight to keep the roofs over the heads of our people; a fight to feed and clothe them and to get them fuel this winter. Cites Pioneer Spirit My friends, the people of North Dakota, the pioneers and the de- scendants of pioneers, have never failed in any undertaking. North Dakota has never defaulted in paying any debt. There are no people in any state who more willingly and cour- ageously face the doing of a different Job and we will not falter now. If perchance, a few politicians try to stir up trouble these next few months I have implicit faith in the ebility and resourcefulness of the people in knowing how to deal with them, It was with regret that a friend of today handed me a letter, just Sreeests Baba cativelipn “Aniiaed! s envelope , asking him to tell whether he had Migr aU eset ssh gna dla he applied for it, whether be- notary public and whether he ind ever voted in any otter sate been so proven in court to satisfy the most ardent payroller or job hunter tin the state. Tried to Repeal Law ‘Therefore, my friends, pay no at- tention to the letters you receive ask- ing how you voted an absent voters ballot. Remember that the progres- sives of this state tried to get the law repealed in June and an overwhelm- ing number of people voted against depal. It is now the law, and if anyone knows about any violations in voting, take it up with the state's attorney of your county, or the attorney general of the state, Mr. Sathre, or, after I become governor, bring the matter to me then and you can depend upon it that prompt action for the good of the state will result. I particularly ask that you do not let your attention be distracted from the real job we have ahead of us by the bickering and’ scheming of a few political malcontents. Some fellows seem more desirous of having a job than protecting the welfare of the for children going to public and pri- vate schools, We pledged lower in- terest rates, first, farm mortgages. We pledged clean, honest, efficient government and you can depend | hat these pledges will be kept. Pledge anew all the possible as- sistance that I can give to the busi- ness interests of this state. I ask bead you a, every man in the the stores, the factories, Seat you possibly can; to put every one to work whom you possibly can; to cooperate and help the president and national administration in your ‘business dealings. Let's get rid of unemployment in every possible way we can, and lets pay decent wages while we are doing it. Pleads for Internal Peace Lets frown upon every attempt to stir up fights among ourselves, to in- cite quarrels and hatred among our- aelves; to array different interests against each other. Instead let us fight shoulder to shoulder for the col- lective good of the citizens of North Dakota. Let us show the world that North Dakota is in this fight to the finish; that North Dakota is going to whole- heartedly, loyally back up the author- ities in Washington. Let us prove, as we have done time and time again, that we are made of real stuff, that we have the fortitude to meet trouble and adversity smilingly and that if we meet it and whip it, we are con- tinuously looking around for more, and that it just cannot be too tough for us, no matter what happens. Ours is @ great opportunity in the midst of many hardships, to prove to the world that the people of North Da- kota re stout-hearted and unafraid; ready to meet the problems and the tasks that lie ahead in a manner that will bring honor to our state.
