North Dakota Blue Book 1961 NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK .1961 COMPILED BY LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BEN MEIER Secretary of State "Buy North Dnkotn Products" • ItHANCK TNiaUNC laoo Greetings It is fitting that we pause to record progress made in North Dakota's economic, social, cultural and poli­ tical life. This state is blessed with an imaginative, industrious and moral people. Their efforts are moving us to the brink of great achievement in developing our agricultural, lignite, crude oil, electric power, and industrial potential. We find ourselves on the front lines of national defense in 1961. Supersonic fighter and bomber bases, radar stations and missile bases dot the landscape. Probably the surplus food production for peace and military bases for war both found in North Dakota have made our people more internationally-minded than ever before. In this book are the men and women serving this state in government at this fleeting moment. Their wisdom and planning will serve North Dakota for generations to come. WILLIAM L. GUY Governor of North Dakota Foreword It is with genuine pleasure and pride that the Department of State presents the 1961 edition of the Blue Book authorized by the legislative assembly. The last Blue Book was issued in 1954. The primary purpose of the North Dakota Blue Book is to present in concise form to the Citizens of North Dakota a description of their government and a directory of its agencies and officers together with geographical, industrial, historical and general in­ formation of the State. The material comprising the Blue Book has been carefully chosen to serve not only as a hand book and directory of agencies and person­ nel of North Dakota Government but as a reference for educational institutions as well. It is my sincere hope that the material and facts contained herein will be most helpful and useful to those who seek knowl­ edge of our State. Many North Dakotans participated in the com­ pilation of the material in this edition and to each of them I extend my appreciation. BEN MEIER Secretary of State Great Sea1 of North Dakota The great seal was prescribed in every detail by Section 207 of the North Dakota Constitution. It is a continuation of Die great seal of the Territory of Dakota adopted at the second session of th;; legislature of Dakota Territory and described in Chapter 56 of the Session Laws of 1862-63. The only difference is in the arrangement of the words of the motto: Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable — a quotation from Webster's reply to Hayne. Fol­ lowing is Section 207 of the Constitution of North Dakota: "The following described seal is hereby declared to be and hereby con­ stituted the Great Seal of the State of North Dakota, to wit: A tree in the open field, the trunk of which is surrounded by three bundles of wheat; on the right a plow, anvil and sledge; on die left a bow crossed with three arrows, and an Indian on horseback pursuing a buffalo toward the setting sun; the foliage of the tree arched by a half circle of forty-two stars, surrounded by the motto 'Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, One and Inseparable'; the words 'Croat Seal' at the top, and the words, 'State of North Dakota' at the bottom; 'October 1st' on die left and '1889' on the right. The seal to be two and one-half inches in diameter." The State Flag The flag of North Dakota shall consist of a field of blue silk or material which will withstand the elements four feet four inches on the pike and five feet six inches on the fly, with a border of knotted yellow fringe two and one- half inches wide. On each side of said flag in the center thereof, shall be embroidered or stamped an eagle with outspread wings and with opened beak. The eagle shall be three feet four inches from tip to tip of wing, and one foot ten inches from top of head to bottom of olive branch hereinafter described. The left foot of the eagle shall grasp a she;if of arrows, the right foot shall grasp an olive branch showing three red berries. On die breast of the eagle shall be displayed a shield, the lower part showing seven red and six white stripes placed alternately. Through the open beak of the eagle shall pass a scroll bearing the words "E Pluribus Unum." Beneath the eagle there shall be a scroll on which shall be borne die words "North Dakota." Over the scroll carried through die eagle's beak shall be shown thirteen five-pointed stars, the whole device being surmounted by a sunburst. The flag shall conform in all respects as to color, form, size, and device with the regimental flag carried by the First North Dakota Infantry in the Spanish American War and Philippine Insurrection, except in the words shown on the scroll below the eagle. (Sec. 54-0202, N.D.C.C.) Above is pictured the Governor's Flay creutcd by the Thirty-Fifth Legislative Assembly. The Cont of Anns ciin bo used as a flag, us portrayed above, minus the white stars in Hie Tour comers. The coat of Amis is described as follows: Device: On an Indian arrowhead point to base or a bend vert charged with three mullets of the first, in base n fleur-de-lis of the second. Crest: On a wreath or an azure, a sheaf of three arrows anient armed and flighted miles behind a stringed how fessways or with grip of the second (gules). Motto: Strength from the soil. Significant Elements The colors of yellow-gold uiid green ure indicative of the great agricultural state of North Dakota and has particular reference to ripening grain and the abundant grazing areas. The Indian arrowhead forms the shield of the cont of arms and symbolizes the "Sioux State." The three stars denote the trinity of government: legislative, executive and Indicia]. Each star in the bend is given the heraldic value of thirteen which signifies the thirteen original colonies of the United Stales, and the cumulative numerical value of the three stars indicates that North Dakota was the thirty-ninth slate admitted to the Union. The stars also allude to the history of the territory under three foreign flags. Three stars are home upon the coat of arms of Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedi­ tion and also on the coal of arms of Lord Selkirk, head of the first permanent settlement in this state. The fleur-de-lis alludes to La Verendrye, a French explorer who was the first known white man to visit the territory of this state. The blue and gold wreath in the crest reflects the history of the territory ns part of the Louisiana purchase. The crest which shall constitute the military crest of the state of North Dukota is a motlff taken from the state seal and the Sioux Indian tribes signifies mighty warriors. Authorized Use The coat of arms of this state may he used in a manner consistent with the respect and dignity due a stntc cont of arms and its symbolic values by the following persons, or­ ganizations and agencies. 1. The Governor of North Dakota. 2. The North Dakota National Guard. 3. Departments and agencies of the state of North Dakota. 4. North Dakota veterans organizations. 5.

  • British Statutes in American Jurisdictions 197
    December, 1929 BRITISH STATUITES IN AMERICAN JURISDICTIONS FREDERICKI G. MCKEAN, JR. The abstraction called the Law is a magic mirror wherein we see reflected not only our own lives, but the lives of all men that have been.-Attributed to Mr. Jus- tice Holmes. It has been said that man differs from other animals chiefly in this: that he retains in each generation that which has been handed down by its predecessor,, and, after applying the touchstone of experience, passes it to his successors. This commonplace has been phrased in the folk saying, "Experience is the best teacher", and in the legal aphorism that "the life of the law has been-experi- ence". An outstanding characteristic of the founding of this re- public was the tenacity with which our forefathers clung to their inheritance of the laws which their immigrant ancestors brought into the New World and adapted to the requirements of changed environment. John Adams is credited with the statement that he would not have taken the stand that he did in the War for Inde- pendence, if such action had involved the loss of the common law. Chief Justice Taft says, "We embodied in the Bill of Rights in our Constitution the principles of the British Constitution as they had. been established at the Common Law."' At the threshold of the Revolution the American Continental Congress of 1774, under the presidency of George Washington, adopted this resolution: "Resolved, N. C. D. 5. That the respective colonies are entitled to the common law of England, and more espe- cially to the great and inestimable privilege of being tried by their peers of the vicinage, according to the course of that law.

THE PROPOSED NORTH DAKOTA RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE CHARLES LIEBERT CRUM* N THE preceding article there appears a plea for the adoption of the proposed North Dakota Rules of Civil Procedure' by one of the nation's most distinguished authorities on pleading and prac- tice. Judge Holtzoff's standing as an expert on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure- from which the North Dakota Rules have been largely derived- is attested by the fact he is co-author of a work on them which is considered definitive in its field. Undoubtedly it is a work of supererogation to publish two papers on this subject in the same issue of the North Dakota Law Review when one of them bears such distinguished authorship. Nevertheless the subject involved is one of such importance and has aroused so much professional interest that possibly two treat- ments of it are permissible, particularly when the method of analy- sis differs.

The Historical Society is comprised of judges, court staff, and attorneys admitted to the bar and practicing in the Northern District of Iowa. The Historical Society’s mission is to collect and preserve historical information, data, documents, artwork, writings, artifacts, and exhibits pertaining to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa.
