Much of for public consumption, and in most of it the best it, of course, is foot is put foremost. No one ever heard of a governor’s message that did not emphasize the necessity for “economy” and “retrenchment,” two terms that especially belong in documents of this character. What becomes of them meanwhile no- body knows. So far as anybody does know, they are read in the message and then put back in the cans, where they belong, to repose until they are} later. If sincere in matters of economy again needed, four years a governor could ever be mean t his words imply, he would be spe that could be lopped off without impairing the functioning of any particular state the exper activity.

The governor points out the well-known fact that in the year just closed, school districts received more than forty-four per cent of all the taxes col lected in the state. Twenty-five per cent of the taxes levied went to countri municipalities se cured 16.9 per cent while the state took 13.4 per cent. The governor citicizes the too high on the part of school districts, counties and municipalities, but defends the state tax as reasonable. It m But per cent in all taxes would be more nearly ap propriate for a state like Wyoming and the coun ties and cities within her border Agricultural relief through the farm loan plan has aided distressed farmers to considerable ex tent.

He says: “The situation in our state at the present time is that we have a guaranty fund law which pro- duces annually in the neighborhood of three hun- dred to five hundred thousand dollars. We have deposits in closed banks amounting to from twelve to sixteen million dollars, so that our guar. anty fund law at the present time produces just about enough to pay the interest fund closed banks and the expenses in administer the law . “The guaranty law in North Dakota has cre ated, probably, the very worst situation that could be possibly created under such a law. In aw of this kind has worked out fairly well, but what has happened to us in North Dakota may happen in any other state, and, therefore, no other conclusion could reason- ubly be reached, except that the guaranty fund law is probably as dangerous a proposition as could possibly be experimented with.” Here is the testimony of an experienced bank- er doing business unter a law which he knows to be bad, and what he says can be relied upon thoroughly in on. some other states a Oint sMICRMATIONAL SYNDICATE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure.
