COMMISSIONER TAYLOR ANSWERS
the CRITICISM Of the NORTH
DAKOTA HAIL INSURANCE Law

Many Of the applications are written
by the auditors themselves, in which
case the insurance becomes in1medi-
ately effective, And in no case should
more than twenty.four hours elapse
between the taking and the fling Of
the application. There was no reason
why the Mcbride bill should have been
made to apply to state hail insurance.
and there Is no merit in the sugges-
ton that the failure to make it SO ap-
ply resulted in class legislation.
The Nationals second objection
Is that 2 IL per cent which the
companies were required to pay on
their hail insurance premiums in this
state was diverted into tie state hail
insurance fund, which has never yet
been able to pay its adjusted losses.
The National is most egregiously mis-
taken in this matter. Not a penny Of
LA0 AAouIQANC tStA AASOAAO AtSO OVOA
gone into the state hail insurance
fund. After deducting operating ex-
penses, the balance of the total
amount of the state hail insurance re-
ceipts becomes available for the pay
ment of losses in full If the sum re-
naming is sufficient for that purpose: :
il not, then prorata. In short, the
state hail insurance department is alb
solutely self sustaining.
II appreciate the fact that state in
surance, Of whatever character, is
looked upon with frank disfavor by
the insurance companies. But there
is widespread and insistent demand
for that kind of insurance which will
not be denied, so we may as we'll make
the best Of It. Whether or not state
insurance is practicable remains to be
determined"

Bismarck, N. D., Auril 24.-Upon
having his attention called to an ar
ticle in The United States Review, an
insurance publication, stating that the
National Fire Insurance Co. Of Hart
ford had notified it's North Dakota
agents that it would write no hail in
surance in this state hereafter because
Of the recent enactment Of an objec-
tionable law, Commissioner of Insur-
ance w. c. Taylor said:
This department has not been off,
cially notified by the National Of Hart
ford Of it's purpose to cease writing
hail insurance in this sta,e, but the
report that it has reached that deci'
sion is doubtless we'll founded. -
THE 'objectional law referred to
lin Senator McBride's bill, which pro-
vides that every insurance company
writing hail insurance in this state
shall be bound, and the insurance
shall take e set, from and after twen-
ty-four hours from the day and hour
the application for such insurance has
been taken by an authorized agent Of
the company. This bill had stormy
voyage through the thirteenth legis-
lative assembly, but finally reached
port and received the approval Of the
governor. The twenty-four hour pro-
vision is somewhat drastic, but some
thing Of the kind was necessary for
tho protection Of the insuring public.
Undoubtedly the law presents some
difficulties to the insurance companies,
but they are by no means insuperable.
"A readjustment of the methods Of
handling applications is all that is in
volved. l do not anticipate that many
Of the companies will follow the lead
Of National Of Hartford and quit the
game. There is something fascinating
about the hail insurance business-the
chances of winning or losing c0nsid-
cradle stake are SO nicely balanced.
However, would like to call atten.
ton to the fact that two Of the OBJ
jections raised by the Hartford are
without foundation. 1t is true that
the act provides that no provision
herein shall apply to thesstate hail III ! in, n
surance department. The reason for
this exception lies in the very import
ant fact that the state hail insurance
act specifically provides that the in.
surance shall be In force and effect
from the time OF filing. the application
in the oface Of the county auditor

pirrseURc AND WELL WILL
Dc SUNK N JUNE.

Marmarth, N. D., April 30.-Aar'
marth is to be the center Of the tri-
state oil fields and interest in the mat
ter is becoming intensified daily. Fol-
lowing the accounts Of the investiga-
|tions made in this locality by repre-
sentative Of Pittsburg interests, per-
sons connected with the oil industry in
many parts Of the United States have
either been here or made inquiries con.
cerning conditions.
Maps made by the United States
geological survey in 1911 and 1912,
which have not yet been completed for
North Dakota indicate that a large
basin underlies this section of the
country Its upper point appears to
be around Glendive with the western
edge in the vicinity Of Baker, Mont.
and its eastern edge on the Bad Lands
country in North Dakota, and the
southern point extending into South
Dakota. Marmarth is thought to be
about the center Of the belt and is the
lowest point In tho basin and for that
reason ideally located for . refinery to
which the oil from the various wells
could be piped.
"A local company has been organic
ed and has already secured options on
1000 acres and seeks at least $4,000.
1t is composed Of local men. The Bar
Der and the Allison ranches appear to
be about the most centrally located
and the Pittsburgh people have op.
tions on the coal leases on the latter.
Advices from Pittsburgh are that
machinery will soon be shipped here
and the first well will be sunk IN
June on the Allison ranch. Should
the results be at all satisfactory,
numerous other wells will be put down
on property on which Representatives
Johns secured options where here sew
eral weeks ago.
For years the presence of oil in this
part Of the country has generally been
known, for it outcropped in many
springs and basins. but it Is not known
whether it is here in commercial
quantities.
Not even gold find could develop
the interest shown in this country over
the proposed oil investigation. All
other subjects have lost interest for
the people Of this vicinity.
