Oh I wish I had time to go over all those old States. I been In all of only for his thorough-going and efficient ef-ficient administration of Utah af fairs, but also for his knowledge and understanding of the problems which confront the. secretary of the Interior and other national officials. An excellent example of this Is afforded in an article-In a recent Issue of an eastern business "rnaga sine which referred to Utah's plan for administering the Reconstruc tion Finance Corporation s emer gency relief funds as a model that all other states might follow. In 1930, through-the influence of Governor Dern, Utah was host to the national governors' conference, which Is an organization of the governors of . all the states. After Governor Dern had attended two sessions he was chosen a member of i the executive committee and the next year he was chosen chairman.; He served two years as a chairman and declined, a third term, feeling that the honors should be distribut ed among the other officials. He was one of the organizers of the western governors' conference in 1929 and has been a member of the executive committee since. Ih 1931- 32 he served as chairman of that organization. .- - At the time Governor Dern as sumed the responsibilities of the governorship of Utah, Utah and the other western states were engaged In a controversy with the federal government over their mineral bear ing school lands. When Utah was admitted to -the union, the state was granted four sections of land in each township for the support of the common com-mon school Eventually the sur-preme sur-preme court of the United States ruled that no lands bearing coal or other minerals had been granted the state, and that If any and" desig nated as a school section proved to be mineral In character, it must be relinquished to the federal govern ment and other land, non-mineral In character, selected In lieu thereof. there-of. As a result of this ruling, there was almost continual confusion, strife and costly litigation. Governor Dern's first step with regard to this controversy was to deliver a notable address, - "School 3 got something, something different Look at Mississippi, with Pat Harrison Har-rison and the State Sales Tax. Why both of em-shoald e adopted by every State In the Union. Pat's not a Senator, he is an Institution. But ril get Into the others later. - O HIS. McStkt Symd"" should have all the minerals con tained in their designated school f section. When the bill was passed and became a law, the then secretary secre-tary of the Interior said It meant one hundred, million dollars tojthe public land states, and none of these will profit 'more from this legislation than Utah. The public schools have been vastly enriched, and as a result, taxes for school purposes should eventually be reduced. Another achievement which gain ed national prominence for Governor Dern was the solution of the Colorado Colo-rado river problem. Essentially, the law of water tights is, "first in use, first In right," and this law holds good regardless of state: Hnes. Cali fornia wanted all the water xrom the Hoover dam reservoir for the Imperial valley, which would have meant that California would have acquired a prior right to all the flood waters of the Colorado river and Its tributaries, although half the area of our state lies In the Colorado Colo-rado river drainage, and Utah streams supply fully 15 per cent of the water in the reservoir. - -ev-tlve em.Jcb,.aiJ saiOasljQgv inves- Boulder dam bill was amended so that a fair proportion of the waters of the Colorado river Is perpetually reserved for the use of the state of Utah a provision which will mean much to the agricultural Interests of the state in the future. Another accomplishment : which gained national recognition for the governor was his masterful hand- -ling of President Hoover's proposal pro-posal that the surface of the re- mainlng public domain outside of the national forests, national parks and other government reservations be ceded to the state, but that alL minerals be forever reserved to the federal -government Gover- ' nor Dern recognized the fallacy of this procedure, and In his famous speech before the western governors' gov-ernors' conference he showed that most of this land was so poor that the government could not give It away; that the government proposed pro-posed to go over the public domain with a fine tooth comb, reserve everything that had any value and' give the rest to the states; that it would not yield enough revenue to pay the cost of administration; that the scheme would greatly decrease de-crease federal aid for highway construction con-struction and thereby Increase the state's road burden and that it might jeopardize the government's reclamation recla-mation service, thereby retarding further agricultural developments in the western states. Governor Dern went to Washington Washing-ton to present his view on the pro posed legislation to the house com mittee, and as a direct result of this, the scheme had no friends and the bill was not even reported out of committee. It is expected that if Governor Dern Is accorded the office of secre- . Uary of the Interior he will carry Into that branch of the government the same business-like administration administra-tion that has been characteristic of the state during his eight years a governor. During his two terms as governor,' he has supervised and planned a constructive building program at the various state schools and Institutions Institu-tions a program which was carried out with the utmost economy and efficiency. The Utah state hospital at Provo Land Titles In the Public Land,'"'- """" w"c" States," at the national governors', i assumed office but now at . his conference In 1926. Through his to-!"Jf:J g f.J. fluence a bill was introduced In Con- fed! to the state with five new gress which provided that the states bulldogs erected and a vast amount tigations. visited the neignDormg states of California, Arizona and New Mexico, and then called a Colo- rado river- conference.- Subsequent ly he went to Washington when the matter was before congress for final disposition. The final outcome was that the of remodeling on the old buildings. The University of Utah,' the State Agricultural college, and the Branch Agricultural college' have received special consideration from the governor, gov-ernor, who has long- been prominent -brworthwhile edueational-acttvitteSv The Utah School for the Deaf and the Blind now ranks among the very beet in the United States and the State Industrial school has been commended as performing a worthwhile worth-while function in the training of future fu-ture citizens.

Ail the recent new buildings erected erect-ed by the state have been construct-. ed by the State Building commission created In pursuance of a plan prepared pre-pared by Governor Dern and every building has been completed within the amount appropriated by the legislature.
