Legal Technically May Cause
Rejection Of the Big Bond Bid

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. pa ques-
tlon has arisen concerning the legality
Of the bids submitted to the state aud
iting board by M. w. Hostetter Of
Grafton as agent for the American
Surety Co., the National Surety Co., the
Maryland Casualty Co., the Title
Guaranty g. Surety Co., and the Amer
lean Bonding Co of Baltimore, to fur
nish indemnity bonds for the state
treasurer elect in the amount Of $780,
600.
Hostetters letter to the state auditor
was worded as follows:
'As agent for the several companies
Offering bids on treasurers bond
which is hereto attached, I hand the
same to you for your consideration"
The bid Of these various companies
was worded in part as follows:
ION behalf OF the American Surety
Co.. the National Surety Co, the Mary
land Casualty Co, the Title Guaranty
g. Surety Co., and the American Bond
ing Co. of Baltimore, we, their re-
spective agents and attorneys duly
authorized to act for and on behalf of
the said surety companies, offer to
write the bond of the treasurer in the
sum Of 100000, for a premium of
$3.50 per annum, during his term of
office, or for the sum of $1,595 If the
said premium is paid in advance for
the full term of two years commence
ing Jan. 2, 1911, and running to the
first Monday in January, 1918"
The bid then designates how much
of the liability each company will as
sumo with the reasons for this ap-
portionment. 1t is signed as follows:
American Surety Co., by NJ. l..
jerks, resident vice president.
National Surety Co, by c. M. Bend,
attorney in fact. =
Maryland Casualty Co., by Fred s..
Bryant, general agent.
Title Guaranty & Surety Co., by
Hood and Penney, general agents.
American Bonding Co., Of Baiti-
more, by Fitzhugh Bowens, Its vice
president"
Com. of ms. f. c. Cooper when in
terviewed at the capital was emphatic
in his statement that an agent of an
insurance mompany must have pro-
cured a license from his office before
transaeting business in North Dakota.
He referred to Section 4509, r. C. of
N. d. 1908:
mo official or broker, agent or
sub-agent of any insurance corpora
ton of any kind, except county mu-
tual insurance CORPORATIONS Of this
state, shall act or aid in any manner
In transacting the business of Or with
such corporation, in placing risks or
effecting insurance therein, without
first procuring from the commissioner
OF insurance a certificate Of authority

as It now does. and the crying need Of
the state today is for q hundred thou
sand more families upon the farms OF
the state. There are plenty OF people
in the east that are ever looking for
farms of their own or for cheaper
lands, and what we need to do is to
bring to their attention the opportuni-
ties that North Dakota has to offer
The legislatures Of the states of Min
nesota, Washington, oregon, Montana
and Idaho are advertising the possI-
bilitles of their respective states, and
are getting the people. too. The states
are aiding in this work with good sized
appropriations Of state money for this
purpose. Why should NOT North Da-
kota get into the game, too? Would
It not be a wise course for the incom-
ing legislature to appoint a special
commission to take this matter under
consideration Would 1t not rebound
TO the best interests OF the state as a
whole? Will Freeman.

KIDDER COUNTY
IS INTERESTED

Dawson, N. D., Dec. 4--Last week
there was story of a man dying as
a victim Of shooting by his wife. As
is common, few knew the facts, and
many wondered why Kidder county
would be interested in a shooting In
Stutsman. Carl Gotzki was the man
shot. But it transpired that the man
was shot in or near Jamestown, and
that he was brought to the home Of a
brother at Langdahl sfter lying
three weeks in the jamestown hos
pital, and when he was thought to be
able to get along at his brothers
h2ne. He had been there mt a week,
However, when he died, en- last Fri
day. Saturday the inquest was held,
Coroner Pryse, Doctor Lodge and G..
M. Hogue going up; the latter as one
of the jurymen. A. L. De Shon, an
other summoned juryman, being UNI
able to go, and the verdict after hear
ing the evidence at hand, was that
GotzsIi came to his death as the re-
suit Of a bullet fired by his wife, dur
ing a family quarrel. Witnesses tes-
titled of having heard the wife make
threats against her husband during
their stay at his brothers place in
Langerhahl last summer while on a
visit up there. AS Carl had survived
the shooting four weeks, there was of
course his own statement.
Little is known Of the true condi-
lions leading to the shooting at James,
town, but there had been considerable
wrangling between man and wife. A
week ago Carl was taken to the home
of his brother, Gottfried Gotzki, and
there succumbed to the wound
AS the shooting took place in Suits
man county, that county will proc
ably look after the prosecution of the
wife.

WHAT SHALL We DO
FOR Immigrants?

Maxbass. N. D., Dec. 22.-To The
Forum: The persons charged with the
counting of the people of the United
States have made their report and COM
pleted their work, and suppose that
as whole the people of the state are
gratified with the increase noted. But
when these reports are sifted down
to what they really mean, there is food
for unrest. If there is one thing that
is more fully shown than another it is
this, that the agricultural communities
OF the state are being depleted. IL
we take out Of the report the number
that have moved into the western por-
ton OF the state in search of home
steads on the free lands, and then take
out of that report the marvellous in
crease in the population Of our cities
and towns, we will find that if we have
not really lost, that we have stood still.
II is an undenied truth that many OF
the agricultural communities showed
a marked decrease in the number of
persons on the farms, When we stop
to think that this ig an agricultural
state, and that our wealth is primarily
derived from the soil, and that any
thing that in any way lessons that pro-
duction or interferes with it's increase
Is menace TO the state, then we will
come to realizing sense of what these
figures mean. II our cities and towns
are to make the increase during the
next ten years that they have in the
last decade, then there must be a COR
responding increase in our agricultural
population, for without it there will be
no supporting power behind the mu-
inequalities to cause them to grow.
The state Is rich in agricultural pos
sibilities and can very readily support
twice or thrice as many agriculturists
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-12-24

as provided by law, nor after the
period named in such certificate shall
have expired. Every person violating
the provisions OF this and the previous
section shall be guilty OF a misde-
meanor and be punished by a fine of
not less than $50 nor more than $500
for each offense."
The previous section" referred to
in the final sentence is Section 450s,
r. G. OF N. D., 1905 defining who are
agents Of insurance companies which
says that whoever -. in any man
ner aids or assists ..... in transact
ing any business ...... for any in
surance corporation 80. shall be held
to be an agent OF such corporation to
all intents and purposes" Further
more Section 4510, Fl. C. of N. D., 1905,
states that agents must be bona fide
residents OF the state
Inquiry at the office of the COM
missioner of insurance disclosed the
fact that M. w. Hostetter has a IL
cense recorded there to act as agent
for only the American Surety COM
pany out of the five companies which
submitted the bid, and is not an
agent for the other four companies,
Col. ]. II. Frame, a member of the
Realty Loan and Investment Co, is
also agent for the American Surety
Co., as we'll as the Maryland Cas-
ualty Co, but as Mr.. Hostetter sub
mitted the bid in his own name instead
of the that of the firm, this does not
affect him. The firm is composed of
Col. Frame, Mr.. Hostetter, Gunder
Olson and j. E. Hall, and as Gunder
Olson is the state treasurer elect, the
reason why the bid was not sent in the
firms name is very obvious.
The men who signed the bid sub
mitted by the various companies as
their respective agents and duly au-
thorized attorneys are not residents
of the state, it is said, and conse-
quently are not entitled to act as rep
resentatives OF their companies in this
state.
All of the five companies which have
united as co-securities are licensed to
do business in North Dakota, and each
Of them have licensed agents in the
state. The state auditing board salts
fed itself that the companies were
licensed in North Dakota when their
bid was submitted, but paid no at
tention to the technicalities of the law,
taking 1t for granted that each COM
pany knew it's business.
1t is not expected that any action
will be taken on the matter until the
bonds come before the state auditing
board for approval, at which time their
legality will be determined. In case
the bonds are rejected, the state aud
iting board viii have to meet again to
consider the securing Of bonds
