SUIT.

1t is reported that a suit has been
brought against the printing board by
the Dakota Printing company, regard
ing the increase of rates allowed the
Knight Printing company of Fargo. A
certain class of printing was con-
tracted. to the Knight Printing Co.,
and was to be printed on a certain
weight Of paper. 1t has since been
learned that the job will not come
up to the desired requirements on
that weight, hence the printing com.
mission agreed that the rate should
be increased commensurate with the
extra cost of the heavier paper. The
printing board claims the rate is all
right in view of the fact that the in
creased quality OF paper has been
asked for, and it is this point which
the plaintiff questipns! lit is not
known when the matter will be
heard.

BANKERS TO ORGANIZE lNsUR,
>> ANCE COMPANY.

Excessive rates for burglary insur.
ance has finally impelled the bankers
of this state. to take matters into
their own hands. At a recent meeting
of the burglary insurance committee
of the North Dakota Bankers associa.
ton it was decided to organize "The
North Dakota Bankers Mutual Casual.
ty company" for the purpose of fur
nishing burglary insurance. for the
bankers of the state. Last year the
casualty companies authorized in
North Dakota collected burglary and
theft premiums in the amount OF
$17,162.42, and paid losses amounting
to $256.11. 1t is said that this wide
discrepancy between premiums re.
ceived and losses paid in 1913 is fair
ly typical of what has been going
on for years in this department of the
casualty business, and the North
Dakota Bankers association has con-
Guided that it is time to call a halt.

VALUATION OF

The board Of railroad commission.
ers yesterday received word from the
engineering board of the division of
valuation Of the Interstate Commerce
commission to the effect the board
vas about to take up the work Of max
ing the physical valuation of the rail
ways in the state of North Dakota, in
conformity with the law passed a
year ago for the physical valuation
by the national commission of all the
railways in the country. The state
board has not yet been informed OF
the details of this work, but inasmuch
as the national commission. at the
start of this great undertaking, asked
for the cooperation and assistance of
the state commission when 1t began
North Dakota work, it is probable the
local board will be kept posted as
this work progresses. The Interstate
Commerce commissions work of ma
tional valuation of railways is consid-
cred one of great magnitude and it
will probably cost the country five or
six. million dollars, and the railways
almost as, much more, and will re-
Quire at least tive years. to complete.
The idea OF congress in causing this
valuation to be made was that upon
the completion of the work the Inter
state Commerce commission and the
various state commissions would have
a just and fair basis upon which to
fix freight and passenger rates. 1t is
also contemplated that the valuation
work will continue from year to year
as railroads are extended, so the vari.
GUS rate fixing bodies will always
have a foot basis upon which to ad.
just rates with resultant justice to
both the corporations and the people.

DR.. Crewe, executive officer of the

turned from Williston, where he went
to meet the horsemen of Williams and
Mckenzie counties regarding mat.
tiers of Importance to them. 1t had
been requested that a quarantine be
established between Mckenzie and
Williams counties, owing to the fact
that many horses in the former coun.
ty are infected with disease. Owing
to the fact that the horsemen of Will.
liams county have organized an assO'
citation which is looking to the pre-
vention of the spread of the disease,
it was decided that a quarantine was
unnecessary. Many horses infected
with the disease of douri1e will be
killed, and inspectors have been ap
pointed to make examinations.
Horses Will be Killed. i
Two inspectors, M by the govern
ment, and one by the state, have
been appointed for this work in the
following localities: IL Mckenzie
county, Williams county and in the
country north of Belfield. All horses
which are inspected with dourine will
be shot. For these the government
pay half and the state half, as an ar
rangement is made whereby the
states fund will be augmented by the
glander fund which has a surplus. The
maximum allowed for these animals
will be $3.50. The extent OF this dis
