SoLO INDUS O.-AttOrney General
Turner last Saturday filed suit in Su-
preme Court to oust the twenty-one
companies writing employers liability
insurance in Ohio in competition with
the State Industrial Commission, the
controlling body OF the State insurance
fund created under the Workmen's
Compensation Act. Turner alleges that
the corporations are unlawfully writing
this class of insurance, and this despite
a ruling of State Insurance Commits
sioner Taggart allowing them to do
this business.
When called upon by representative
of the Labor Advocate and requested
to make statement regarding the
suits mentioned, Mr.. Turner contented
himself with the declaration that 1T is
hardly ethical for a lawyer to attempt
to try his causes through the public
press, and for that reason feel that |
would prefer not to make any statement
beyond saying that it is my intention to
press these cases to a speedy determi-
nation"
The petition which Mr. Turner has
filed with the Supreme Court states that
the twenty-One defendants have been
doing business since the Gath day OF
August, 1915, and it will be recalled that
just prior to this date Mr.. Taggart. In
surance Commissioner, agreed to issue
licenses to liability concerns The peti-
ton of the Attorney General states that
these concerns have been and are doing
business in defiance OF law, thus taking
direct ISSUE with Insurance Commits
sioner Taggart.
The following liability insurance con
Germs are mentioned, separate suits be-
ing filed against each 1t is understood
that the Supreme Court will rule on
these suits collectively, as all are based
upon the assumption that the Work
mans Compensation Act is legal, and
that failure to find in favor of the At
torney Generals contention in one case
will nullily the others and practically
declare the entire act unconstitutional

Lloyd Sisters
Good Attraction

The Lloyd Sisters, who appear-
ed at tie Star Theatre on Thurs
day and Friday nights of last
week in a musical novelty act,
proved to be the best attraction
that has appeared at the Star
this season.
Their selections on the cello,
violin and cornet proved them to
be artists of great talent and the
hearers wAout exception hope
that they will again appear at
the Star in a short time.
The Star is indeed fortunate
to secure such high class at.

remainder Of the vaudeville bill
will prove to be as highly enter

Fifty Per Cent Of
Grain Unlnalketed

About fifty per cent OF the
grain from this years crop has
been marketed as yet, owing to
the inability of farmers doing
their fall work and hauling grain
at the same time. AS soon as
the fall work is completed it is
expected that the local markets
will be flooded with wheat and
other samll grain. that is, pro-
vided the prices do not fall in
the meantime.
All grain marketed here this
tall has been of the highest grade
and nearly all running several
pounds above grade to the bush
ell Reports of big yields are
continuing to pour in as more
farmers complete threshing. 1t
is expected that the bulk of the
threshing will be completed with
in the next two weeks.

Court Knocks Out
S. D. Blue Sky Law

An opinion was filed in Sioux
Falls Friday, in federal court,
holding the new blue sky" law
of South Dakota unconstitutional.
The opidion was handed down by
Judges Sanborn of Minnesota,
Munger of Nebraska and Elliott
of South Dakota, who heard the
arguments.
The case was instituted by
William and Harry Morley of
Sioux City, father and son, who
were arrested on the charge of
selling the stock Of a Sioux Falls
company without having first Sc
cured the authority to do so as
required by law. The state au-
thorities will now be unable to
prosecute the case against them.
1t is expected the state will
appeal to the United States su-
preme court, which has never
passed upon such legislation
from any of the states. although
blue sky laws in Wisconsin,
Iowa and West Virginia have all
been declared unconstitutional
by the lower courts.

someone will be the possessor of
the beautiful Grafanola on dis
play In the window of the K. M.

no way been responsible for the
standing of the contestants. The
Herald has absolutely no control
Of the contest. We printed the
coupons, purchased the machine
and advertised the proposition
and turned the rest over to the
merchants. The keys to the bal
lot box are in the hands of The

be opened by judges TO be an

Are YOU saving the coupons in
this contest? If you are not,
start now. 1t is never too late,
and during the next month, you
will be purchasing your holiday
goods and it will cost you moth
ing to save the coupons. Re.

The GrafanoIa that we are Civ
ing away is the one that was
awarded the grand prize at the

ply with the state law that they
give special instruction in fire
prevention and hold fire drills

ed statements that ahey have
complied with the law in respect
to fire drills.
Hardly a year has passed
without the death of one or more
children by prairie fires in North
Dakota, says States Attorney
Owens, "and many of these
deaths could have been prevent
| ed by knowledge and proper
preventive measures. We want
the schools of Williams county
to be safe. and therefore we are
going to insist that fire instruc.
