North Dakota Lawmakers Expand Wartime Soldier Aid
The North Dakota legislature passed an appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars from the Soldiers' Home fund to cover travel and reunion expenses for Civil War veterans attending the Gettysburg fiftieth anniversary reunion on July first through the fourth. Provisions include pro rata distribution if funds run short, government tents and equipment, and notices to veterans to contact Col. J W Carroll in Lisbon. The same session advanced two constitutional amendments via the Gibbons initiative and referendum and the Overson statutory amendment, requiring petitions and set timelines, with votes due at the next general election. An additional bill funded a dairy building at the North Dakota Agricultural College in Fargo to promote dairy education and home-grown expertise. Wheat prices and farm mobility are noted, along with the Absent Electors law allowing voters to apply for absence on election day.
