the hodge-podge of laws, many Of
them more or less contradictory,
which have been enacted from time to

The state should have supervision

regulation of rates charged by surety
companies.
Insurance is a public necessity, no
less than railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone systems. Even more intimate
ly than any of these utilities it enters
into the very wool and warp of our
social and industrial fabric. 1t was
in recognition of this fact that the
United States supreme court recently
said that 1.-The business of fire insur-
ance is so far affected with a public
interest as to justify Legislative reSu-
lation Of it's rates" If reelected,
shall renew the efforts which were
inaugurated in the last legislature to
secure supervision of rates.
Life insurance is written either on
what is known as the legal reserve
basis" or the assessment plan So
far as assessment life insurance is
concerned believe its writing should
be confined exclusively to fraternal
benefit societies, and on adequate
rates. There would not seem to be
any legitimate reason or demand for
assessment life associations, and this
state might we'll follow the example
Of other states in expressly excluding
them from it's borders. Certainly the
present lack of definition in that par
ticular should be corrected.
Demands upon the time and atten'
ton Of the commissioner of insurance
in examining disputed claims for in
demnity, under policies of accident
and health insurance has grown
alarmingly. This is due to the vague,
indefinite and misleading character
of these contracts. Standard forms
should be prescribed by Legislative
enactment, as in the case o. fire in.
surance and life insurance.
The department of insurance is not
merely or primarily recording Office
The duties devolving upon the COM
missioner of insurance are highly
technical, and call for an intimate
knowledge Of the insurance laws and
at least, a reasonable degree of adj
ministrative ability. These qualfica-
tons can be acquired. if at al, only
by experience. In this connection at
tention is called to the fact that in
addition to the steadily increasing
amount of work devolving upon this
Office as result of the rapid growth
of the insurance business, the respon-
sibility and labOrs of the commission
err Of insurance have been immeaSur-
ably enlarged from he fact that he
has been charged with supervision of
the state hail insurance fund, the fire
marshal law and the state bonding
fund. 1t is true that the law creating
the state bonding fund is not opera
tive at present, but it is likely to be-
come effective within short time.
The state of North Dakota owes me
nothing. On the contrary am deeply
indebted to the people of this state
and in that spirit-in the desire to
give better service to our people than
it has been possible for me to give in
the past-my candidacy is submitted

A NATIoNAL REPRaACH.

TT is, perhaps characteristic OF this administration
but it is nevertheless, national reproach for
President Woodrow Wilson to retain head OF the
Navy Department Josephus Daniels.
Passing over the absolute inefciency with which
Daniels has administered his portfolio since it
was conaded to him. because there may be partisans
blind that they cannot that there arises the
question of veracty regarding which intelligent
person be in doubt
There has long been upon the record cumulative
evidence Of his gross missatements Of fact regarding
his orders TO the ships to Tamplco Mexico at
a time when he fully advised that the Americans
there and in the vicinity we're in grave danger, ad-
vice which was abundantly verified when those
Americans were rescued by the valiant work of two
foreign naval officers. one an Englishman and the
other a German. II is OF record that Daniels denied
the facts regarding his orders TO the ships at that
time and sought transfer the blame to American
naval officers, and that his statements snbse-
quently proved to be mere fabricaions invented for
the purpose of relieving himself from the odium OF his
own acts.
I5ut the latest development in Daniels unique ca
reor the public apology made for him by President
Wilson. Admiral Fiske, a witness before naval com
miteo Of Congress testified that he had prepared and
submitted To Secretary Daniels exhaustive report
on the needs Of the navy. On being asked later why
ne had not acted on this report made it public,
Daniels then a witness himself declared that he had
never seen IT, Then Admiral Fiske declared that he
had not only prepared the report but that he had put
II into Daniels hands and had Daniels read II
before putting it into the files, Admiral Fiske de-
manded an investigation OF the issue OF veracty be-
tween himself and Daniels, and his demand was en-
dorsed by the American Defense Society which urged
the President TO such an investigation But
President Wilson knowing full well the outcome OF
such an investigation now writes the League that
Daniels says that II Admiral Fsko says he put the
report into Daniels hands and that Daniels read IT,
Daniels admits that the Admiral must be right.
Mr. Wilson seeks TO convey the impression that
Daniels had forgotten IT, Yet everyone who has read
that report must realize that no man whose mind was
not affected could have read the report and forgot

The Navy's Needs
lFrom The New York Iribune.l

The minority members Of the House
committee on naval affairs have offered
a building program which will meet the
cordial approval of those who want to
see the United States restored TO its
proper rank rs naval power. This
country should. at least, stand second
In naval strength, since the vast extent
of coast line which IL has TO defend
taken together with its commitments
under the Monroe Doctrine makes the
possession of sea power more essential
in our case than it is in the case of any
other nation in the world, except pos
sibly Great Britain.
When the building program of the
majority OF the committee was made
public, about ten days ago, The Tribune
said frankly that it was a better pro-
gram than that fathered by Secretary
Daniels. Mr. Daniels recommended the
authorization for l9l6-l7 of two dread
noughts, two battle cruisers and three
scout cruisers The majority of the
committee reported in favor of five
battle cruisers and -four scout cruisers.
Since the most immediate need of the
feet, as il is now constituted. is fast
cruisers. we believed that it, was better
TO concentrate for one year on the CON
struction Of ships for scouting purposes
than to make inadequate provision for
fast cruisers while still further increas-
ing our very disproportionatc strength
in drcadnoughis.
Conceding that we have to choose
between Mr. Daniels plan and the
committees plan, we are for the com
mttee's. But the minority members
have now offered program which is
much to be preferred to either the
Daniels or the committee majority
program. since it provides not only
for six battle-cruisers and four scout
cruisers. but also for two additional
dreadnoughts. Here there is a satis-
factory balance between battleships
and scouting ships-a balance which
must be maintained for several years
to come il we are to have rounded
out navy. in which all the units can
be cO-ordinated so as to produce the
highest fighting efficiency.
II is not a question with the United
States Of not having the means TO
create a standardized navy The coun-
try can afford to put all the money
needed into what is really only a
highly advantageous form of national
insurance. We have spent money Law
ishly on the navy in the past. But
what we have not had in the past, and
what. we do not have now. is that ex-
pert control of our naval development
