G. The enactment of a somewhat
similar law in Texas resulted in the
withdrawal of twenty-six of the leading
companies; reduction in business for
all companies, including those that re-
ri'ined, and great reduction in the
amount of life insurance funds invest
ed in the state. 1t also occasioned a
loss to the state of $3.50, 900 a year,
formerly paid by the withdrawing COM
panies i'll taxes.
!. MIR. E. E. Locke, of Dallas,
Texas, speaking before conference
of agricultural and commercial inter-
ests at Galveston, June 80, 1908, said
IF you had block of securities to
offer to all investor whom you knew to
be possessed of funds which he was de-
sirors of placing, would you think it
wise to approach him in the first in
stance with threat, that unless he
bought your securities he could have
no further business relations with you
or with anyone else within the sphere
of your influence? Would you not
rather undertake to show your pros
pective buyer in the first place that
your, securities were safe and, in the
second place, that they would yield a
good rate of net incomk? Officers and
directors of life insurance companies
are like all the rest of us in their objec-
ton to the Use of unnecessary compul-
sion. There are many things which
we are willing to do under ordinary
circumstances and which we are quite
,,nu;}l;no "a he coruOa}1ad to io ,,ndar
all sorts of circumstances.
8. All life insurance companies are
at the present time looking with par
ticular favor upon real estate mort
cages and if left to themselves will
naturally seek this desirable form of
investment. North Dakota. as shown
by the figures quoted above. has been
favorite state for the investment of
life insurance funds. Surely the state
cannot afford to advertise itself as a
place where compu1sion is necessary
in order to secure investments.

some FIGURES IN REGARD:
TO THE INSURANCE BILL

A committee appeared before the in
surance committee of ::Se senate and
argued against the Trimble bill which,
provides that IS per cent of the pre-
miums paid to life insurance companies
shall be invested in the state and that
of that amount 50 per cent shall be in
vested in the county in which it origin
ates. The law is not to be operative
until the total premiums received in
one year has reached the amount of
S. 900. Following are some of the ar
guments that were put forward by the
insurance men who opposed the bill.
A few reasons why Senate Bill No.
l64 should not be enacted. These rea-
sons apply with equal force to any
modification of this bill.
l. The bill is unnecessary. Life in
surance companies have found North
Dakota an attractive field for invest
mknts as shown by the fact that at the
end of 1909 the real estate mortgages
on North Dakota property held by
seven life insurance companies amount
ed to $40, 1872 ,497 an amount greatly
in excess of the entire reserve on their
NOltH DdhOtd poASlSS III 1OlSC duo
equal to the reserve on all the life poll
c;es in force in North Dakota.
?. Any attempt to force investment
will naturally raise the question as to
~hy this legislation is necessary, and
establish a doubt in the minds of i'll
vestors as to the desirability of such in
yes:ments.
3 The idea of the bill. carried to
its logical conclusion, would eventually
substitute the township as the unit of
investment and finally the individual
farm.
4. The bill cannot possibly be ef-
fective. Companies that remain in the
state will not transact business in coun-
ties in which they do not care to invest.
5. The bill does not take into con-
sideration the important mrtter of poll
cy loans. 1t actually requires double
investment Of life insurance companies
funds.

Pirates and Strategy.

The virtuous island of Sark was not

When Tea Waa Qaar.

Those who grumble ut the price of
tea should turn for consolation to the
records of its price in early times. At
its first introduction into England.
about the middle of the seventeenth
century, tea fetched anything between
f6 and f1O a pound. and though a fail
In price quickly took place the East
India company still had to pay over
"a for the two pounds of tea which it
presented the king. However. even
thus 1t is doubtful II the tea merchants
got very fat. seeing that the importa-
ton of some 1900 pounds in 1878 was
enough to glut the market for some
years.-Londol Chronicle

BISMARCK BAKEI BALL
TEAM DEAFEA1EbSTEELE
BOYS were SHOWN FINE TIME
AND WERE BANQUETED IN
THE EVENING.
Game was Fast and Furious From
the start-steeie Made Only One
Basket From the Field.

The Bismarck basket ball team went
to Steele Friday afternoon and de-
feated the Kidder county aggregation
in the evening by a score of is to
8. Most of the baskets made by Bis
marck were scored by Belk, who
played a star game at forward.
The game was fast from the first
blast of the referees whistle, and
was remarkably free from roughness.
Most of the fouls were against the
capital city players, as Steele made
seven of it's nine points from free
throws, securing only one field goal.
The Steele boys treated their Wis.
itors in a royal manner, and in the
evening banqueted them at the North
Side hotel. 1t is expected that a re-
turn game will be arranged Tor in the
near future.
The personnel of the Bismarck
team was as follows:
Forwards, Belk and Hogue; center,
Treacey; guards, Allensworth and
Nicholson; substitute, Al1ensworth.

players on the trip.
