The state hail insurance law re-
quires that "the commissioner OF hail
insurance shall, on or about the frs.
day of December in each year, issue
and publish In four newspapers or
general circulation within the state
a concise statement Of the work and
condition of the hail insurance de-
partment." Such a statement has
been prepared for publication, but
Insurance Commissioner w. G. Tay-
lor believes that, in view Of the novel
character of the venture and its i'm
portance to the people of North Da-
kota, some comments and suggestions
would be of interest. He has, there
fore, prepared the following state
ment for general publication:
Hail insurance by the state has
had its third successive test in North
Dakota, and the results can hardly
be said to be conclusive as to the
feasibility of the scheme. However,
there Is measure of comfort for
all-for those VINO favor, as well as
for those who are opposed to this
departure from the blazed trail In
this connection it is interesting to
consider that North Dakota was the
first state in the Union to engage
directly in the business of insurance
and that the success or failure of the
undertaking will have a most i'm
portant bearing upon the future atti-
tude and activities OF the state, in
suranceWise.
There was a decided falling off
in the volume of business written by
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1913-12-17
ANNUAL REPORT OF HAIL
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER

the state during the past year as
compared with the preceding year.
Thus, in 1912 the state issued 2,5Oo
hail insurance policies, and collected
$64S40.37 in premiums. In 1913 only
773 policies were issued, and ipreni-
I'M receipts amounted to $27,24.T.
This slump in the business is3easiiy
accounted for, however. In the first
place, the experience OF the state was
not different from that Of the stock
companies writing hail insurance En-
TACT figures are not available at this
time, but it is a matter of common
knowledge that the volume OF hail
insurance written in North Dakota
this year was far below that written
in 1872 The explanation lies in the
fact that when the season opened,
about July |, crop conditions were
such that there was little incentive
to buy hail insurance.
SIN the second place, the rate for
state hail insurance hod been ad-
vanced from 20 cents to 80 cents per
acre, and this fact doubtless had
something to do with the decrease.
FINALLY, the limited losspaying
power Of the hail departmental under
the operations. OF the law must have
had discouraging effect. In 1911
losses were paid on the basis of 70
per cent; in 1912 the total losses foot
ed up to $105 1884, and the amount
paid was $57,936.69. or S. per cent.
During the present year total losses
amounted to $2S,2S4.9S, and these
wehe settled on the basis of SO per

cent, or $24,9S0.7S. In view Of the
small volume Of business written and
the fact that the risks were largely
punched in few counties, it IS felt
that remarkably favorable showing
was made.
among number Of changes in the
law made by the last legislative as.
sembly was one in respect to the
manner in which adjustment OF loss
es should be made. In the original
act the county commissioners in each
county were constituted official adj
justers of hail losses. This method
did not appear to work out salts
factorily, and in the revision of the
law by the Thirteenth Legislative AS
sembly the duty Of adjusting was
taken out of the hands of the commits
sioners, who were required, instead,
to appoint one competent person who
shall be resident of the county to
act as official adjuster Of losses or
damages caused by hail to any crop
that has been insured under the pro
visions of this chapter
Undoubtedly this was a step in
the right direction, but do not
think it solved what is perhaps tbs
most difficult problem that we have
to deal with. 1t is my judgment that
the better plan would be to author.
ize the hail commissioner to employ
one or more competent persons to ad
just all losses BY this plan not only
could the services of experienced and
Inn y,ofo ucfn hn loH hrt fotr
er and more accurate adjustments
! might reasonably be expected.
This plan is entirely practicable.
This year the cost of adjusting
amounted to $6S4.53. Practically
speaking, the adjusting season covers
a period not to exceed two months
One competent person could very cas-
| lily have adjusted all of the loss
incurred during the season Of 1918
and the expense would have been well
within the sum above mentioned
What saving would have accrued tc
the state as the result of better as
justing is, of course, matter of con
lecture.
In conclusion: The success OF
failure of this venture in state hal
insurance is in the hands of the in
surfing public. The rate is low, but
if the risks can be we'll scattered
over the entire state, and accurate
adjustment of losses had, I believe i,
will prove adequate. 1t is Otter
said that insurance is always sold
never bought by which is meant thai
people do not seek insurance, but
must needs have it thrust upon them
This weakness in human nature mus
be overcome or insurance by the
state will never rise to the dignit,
of great and successful enterprise

State pure food inspectors have

turmoil and crashing of teeth in
their wake. 1t Is TO be doubted
whether these periodic visits do the
good they might If results were gone
after in a different way. The effec-
tiveness of rushing into the public
prints on the part of Inspector
Tucker is questionable. To denounce
offenders by proclaiming them from
the housetops isn't the best way of
getting results. Tucker was strong
In his denunciation of certain bust
ness places yet we fail to find where
any arrests were made II the con-
|ditions were such a menace to the
public why were the offenders not

If they were not a menace, why
wouldn't a strict and forcible warn
ing do just as much good. Compare
sons are odious at best and it is
known that there are unclean bust
ness places in the Calumet region
that the state inspectors never have
denounced openly. Why single some

when his name was entangled with
that of a woman's in the public

and blackmail. Since then however
the revelations regarding Sulzer have
been such as to make New York
ashamed of him and 1t looks as if
Sulzer is even discredited by his
own party the democrats The New
York papers want him to get out and
editorialize as follows:
world-"The best thing Cover
nor Sulzer can do is to resign and
spare the state of New York
further shame and humiliation. No
matter what defense he may offer,
his career is ended"
Times-"The same and disgrace
that William SuIzer has brought
upon the state of New York will
end his career and put him out
and keep Inn out OF public life"
Herald-"There must be no hid
ing behind technicalities, no

governor nothing to raise the cry
