INSURANCE LOANS.

During the past ten years the policy
loans OF the life insurance companies
have increased from i to about 5 per
cent Of the insurance outstanding.
The New York Independent regards
this as a bad omen, and comments on
the condition as follows:
Should not the laws, therefore.
which compel the companies to make
these loans be changed? Would it
not be far wiser to have laws which
would discourage rather than
this uneconomic practice? Should
they not instead Of compelling the
making Of loans. definitely forbid
them except up to a small percentage
Of the reserve value of the policy. a
percentage, for instance, just large
enough to allow the policy-holder to
keep his policy from Iapsing? Thus
the present intent of the laws would
he carried out. They might also re-
quire a considerably less cash value
to be allowed on policies, so that poll
icy-holders would be deferred from
taking a cash value, because they

portion of their insurance.
This subject is a very vital one to-
day In the insurance world, and while
insurance men differ in opinion as to
how the laws should be changed, it is
very generally believed that this prac-
tice is so dangerous that something
should be done by the Legislature to
discourage it.

COOP ADVICE:

The late Judge Harlan was an adj
vocate Of temperance in all things
eating, drinking and smoking, and he
had a quaint way OF convincing those
with whom he talked of the correctness
of his views.
Too many young men look to great
men who have sometimes imbibed too
much and seem to think that their sue
cess is due to their convivial habits,
and a Washington lawyer tells the fol-
lowing good story to The New York
Tribune concerning this well known
jurist:
Justice Harlan, praising temperance
at a lawyers banquet, once told a
story about a young wife, who said to
her husband:
Jack. dear, / do wish you would
stop drinking. Every time you go to
one of these banquets of yours, you get
up in the morning pale and tired; you
won't eat anything; you just gulp GOWN
nine or ten glasses of water. Do stop
drinking. won't you, dear? ] know it's
bad for you"
But all great men have been drink
ing men, Jack grnmbled. Look at
Webster, look at Poe. look at Charles
Lamb, look at Grant. book
Well" interrupted his wife. you
just promise, dear. that you'll Quit
drinking till you're great. and I'll be
satisfied"

AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

Americans are keenly alive to the
many evils and drawbacks of their city
recommendations which are typical
Of the larger centers of population.
They have no national conceit on that
score. But sometimes news comes
from Europe of conditions or happen
ings in an old and well-ordered capital
which would a terrible outcry
against municipal inefficiency and
backwardness if these things were in
America instead of in Europe.
Just what limit would European
critics Of American affairs and institu-
tons set themselves if they had read
Of the death of weight poor men,
lodging in a municipal shelter house in
New York, for instance, all victims of
poisoning by eating decayed fish
bought and sold in the metropolis of
the country? The Cleveland Leader
asks. Would there be any check ex-
cept the of language to the
condemnation of American heartless-
ness and American governmental inef-
nciency? Would it not be said that
the municipal officials who tolerated
the traffic in such food were near
murderers and almost as bad as the
men who sold the fish?
Yet the fact remains that Berlin Is
q splendidly managed city. It's people
are of a high order of intelligence and
enterprise and it's officials are men OF
exceptional capacity and training. AL
of which shows how easy it is to make
great and terrible mistakes in admin
istering the affairs of a big city, with
its hundreds Of thousands. or even mil
lions. of individuals to deal with and
it's m~any-sided and e~ver-changing
problems.

better to secure an insurance policy
than it is to put money in the savings
bank. The Knowledge that he can al
ways borrow a stated sum in an i'm
ducement to take out a policy.
The Independent may deplore the
fact that "men now borrow on their
policies in order to use the money in
their business, TO meet other loans
with, to speculate with. to secure adj
ditional insurance and even to buy au-
t~omobiles." But it must be remem
bered that before any one can obtain
a loan he must take out a policy and
make the required payments. In so
doing he obtains insurance n the
privilege or right to borrow. If the
opportunity of obtaining a loan in an
emergency was withheld or denied, his
plans might be such that he would re-
fuse to take out a policy.
Usurers undoubtedly would like to
have laws which would discourage
rather than encourage loans on in
surance policies. But what The Inde-
pendent calls an "-uneconomic prac-
tice" often is a that will tide
individuals or families over financial
trouble.

PAVING QUESTIONS.

The citizens of Fargo are commence
ing on the paving question in the right
way. 1t is desirable that the different
kinds of paving be carefully investi-
gated, both as to cost, durability and
adaptability.
This Improvement for the coming
season will be a very large item, and
no mistake should be made. All of the
possible information. from the exper-
fence of other cities should be obtained
and well weighed by the property own
ers.
The preliminary work should also be
most carefully completed before the
paving is laid-all the possible connec-
tons made for water. gas and sewer
age, so the paving can be as free from
disturbances as possible.
While the investigation should be
full, it is also desirable to have the de-
cision as to style Of paving, it's width
and other details decided as soon as
possible, as contracts can be let on
much more advantageous terms dur
ing the winter when contractor can
take due time to obtain supplies than
to defer the matter too long. IRves-
tigate, well, decide intelligently with
out bias, but give the council all the
time possible to obtain the best terms
possible for the city.

In order that all The Echo readers
may know Of the excellent programme
which is to be enjoyed by those who
attend the Tri-State Grain Growers
convention at Fargo next week the
full programme is published on the
front page. The man-behind feels that
there is much good to come from this
great gathering. Many of the master
minds of the great northwest are to be
at Fargo next week, and no farmer or
business man can spend SIS or $40 to
any better advantage than to go to
Fargo and hear what is said along
agricultural lines for the development
of this r"esourceful territory. If TWEEN
ty Of the progressive farmers of La
Moure county would attend that con-
vention, the good effect will be felt for
years to come. And the women.
The convention will be Of just as much
interest to the women as to the men,
for goodness knows. there can be no
big success won by the farmer without
the assistance of the farmers wife,
Nothing would make The Echo man
feel so good as to be able to report
that fifty farmers of LaMoure county,
accompanied by their wives, went to
Fargo to attend the Grain Growers
convention. Read the programme.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 10, 1912.
Il RIGHT sPIRIT.

The citizens of Fargo generally be-
gin the year filed with that spirit
which makes cities great, and great
cities greater. There is confidence in
the future, and almost universal enthu-
siasm over the prospects and promise
Of this great northwestern center Of
trade and industry. The clouds which
have prevailed in the past are already
showing a silver lining.
When a city has proved it's capacity
for big things as Fargo has. and when
its natural advantages have been so
thoroughly demonstrated, this conf
dence in greater gains is warranted
and reasonable. A city sure of itself
is far more likely to win success than
one dubious and %distrustful of the fu-
ture. -t
Fargo is certain of greater progress
than it has ever known if all her citi-
zens do their part in the true Fargo
way--boost, don't knock; don't wait
for a chance to help some one else to
come in your way and be knocked
down before you realize the opportun-
ity, but make it your business to de-
velop the chances to help others and
thereby improve your own condition
and aid the city in it's progress. The
momentum of the city is greater than
ever before. With confidence keeping
abreast Of power, the immediate flu
ture will dwarf the best gains of the
past.
