Complaints Of Rates.
1--WE have had two fire engines in
this town for about two years, and
when we purchased them we under
stood that they would cause the fire
insurance rate to be lowered, but in
stead of that, the rate has been rails
ed in that time"
Similar complaints come from New
Rockford, Harvey, Devils Lake, Nc
Henry and other points. OF course,
these things prove nothing. They may
be susceptible of logical explanation.
The point is, the persons who feel
themselves aggrieved have no means
of legal redress. They are HELPLESS
and it is precisely this sense Of help
lessness and of the futility of making
complaint that inspires the too pre-
valent feeling of hostility twoard fire
insurance companies. The virtue Of
this hostile sentiment has spread, I'M
til the whole structure of insurance
has come to be looked upon with sus-
picion, and threats of drastic and
punitive legislation measures were en-
acted two years ago. Under the op-
Grafton Of the Act gross discrimina-
ton againts an entire section of the
state was uncovered and corrected.
I have before me a bulletin issued by
the Insurance Department under date
of July Is, 1916, giving a list of towns
in Northern Minnesota which had
been re-rated on the Uniform Basis
Rate. The new rates show an
average reduction as follows:
Per Cent
Frame buildings ............. 81
frame buildings, contents 80. II
Brick buildings .............. 10
Brick buildings, contents ..... Is
I do not anticipate that the enact
ment in this state of a rating bill,
similar to the Minnesota Act, would
meet with serious opposition on the
part of the fire insurance companies.
When Capital Stock Is Impaired.
Sec. 1865 of Compiled Laws 1913
provides that whenever it shall ap-
pear to the commissioner of insur.
ance that the capital stock of do
nestle insurance company is impair
ed to the extent of one-fourth or
more on the basis fixed in Section
1914 he shall notify the company that
its capital is legally subject to be
made good in the mode provided by
Section 1866. and if such company
shall not within three months after
such notice satisfy him that it has
fully repaired its capital or reduced
its capital as provided in Section
1857, he shall institute proceedings
against it in accordance with Section
1926"
This requirement is altogether too

CALL ISSUED FOR "MOOsES"
Parker Urges Patriotic Men and Wom-
 en to Meet August ).

New Orleans, La, July 15.-A state ment and call ito the patriotic men and women of America to hold a new national convention of the Progressive party in Chicago August to nominate candidates for president and vice president, and to continue the partys existence as distinct political organ ization, was issued here tonight by John M. Parker, vice presidential nominee of the Progressive conyen- ton, held in Chicago last June. He urges the PrOgressiyes Ito eternally bury the Bull Moose, who led his loy- al followers into the wilderness" and to adopt in it's place the American eagle as the emblem of the party.
 MT, Parker does not mention Col onel Roosevelt or any Progressive leader Or any candidates by name He declares, however, that the Progress sives had as supposed leaders red blooded Americans who promise with their life blood to stay with the party to the finish, but that the party had been deserted by a large part of it's officers, who could not stand the acid test. He charges the leaders, for steam roller reasons, have elected to be steam rolled and that the time has come when every party working for humman welfare and the future of America should unite against both dominant parties.
 ] In criticising the Republican party the statement indirectly refers to Charles E. Hughes, Republican candi- date for president, as "a splendid man selected by the Republicans "as the mask behind which they hope to agaln secure control of state and na- tion.''

ALLIES MILE

Town Was German Headquarters Be- fore Franco-British Drive Began.
 Teutons Spring Surprise.

London. July 1.-The Anglo-French advance has brought the allied troops where they will make junction, to a point about mile in front of Combies, which, prior to July 1, when the of fensive began, was the German head quarters in this sector.
 Quiet prevailed on the British front SunGay The detachment which had been thrust forward to the third Ger man line of FoureuX wood to protect the infantry operations now has been withdrawn to the main position.
 The casualty lists as announced to- tai 227 officers dead and 457 wounded or missing; 597 mea dead and 1882 wounded.
 The British are keenly watching for the next move cn the French from, where comparative quiet still prevails. The Germans are strongly placed on the Somme above PerCnne. under the protection of the river and its marshy
 
 the French will involve serious fight ing with probably heavy losses. The British and French armies | however, are full of confidence in each other and the result of the joint oGen sive seems daily to be more assured as there is no evidence of any units of reserves coming from the interior of Germany.
 Further significant news is that the Portuguese government has equipped an army with everything necessary to enable it to fight side by side with the Anglo-French armies and that this army is ready to answer the call when ever requested.
 French Are Surprised.
 Under a blanket of fog last night the Germans in the region south of the Somme river hurled violent at tacks against La Maisonette and the village of Biaches recently captured by the French and took those posi- tions by surprise, says the French oili- cial statement issu d tn afternoon. The French, however, Immediately launched a vigorous counter-attack and recaptured both places. North of Chilly the Germans also penetrated the first line trenches of the French, but later were elected Near O.,chec, north of the river Aisne, the French stCrmed the German trenches.

FRENCH AUTHOR INTERESTED IN
DECATUR STREET-oTHER AT
LANTA NEWS.

ATLANTA, Jan. 12.-If Shakespeare
or Baizac lived in Atlanta they would
pick Decatur street and not Peachtree
as the city's most interesting and
characteristic thoroughfare, according
10 August Wampe, a well known
French author who has been gazing
with keen interest on the capital of
Georgia before going to Palm Beach
for the winter.
He says that AtIantians perhaps do
not realize il because they have been
accustomed to seeing it all their lives,
but that Decatur street with its hun
dreds of negro types, its pawnshOps,
fried fish stands, it's Syrian grocers
and Asiatic peddlers, is as full of col
or and human interest as the Bowery
in New York, the water tiont at Ma
pies or the quai at Marseilles.
IF you Georgians ever produce a
great literature or a great author" he
said, the inspiration will probably
come from Decatur street and what it
stands for"

NO GRIPPE THERE.

ATLANTA, Jan. 12.-Atlanta's es-
cape from the grippe epidemic that
has swept the country is attributed by
the heath authorities to a considerable
extent that the Atlanta population has
quite generally learned the advantage
Of sleeping out of doors both summer
and winter.
A few years ago the sleeping porch
was either a luxury of the rich or a
necessity for the person who already
had tendency to tuberculosis. But
today never an apartment house goes
up and scarcely a modest $4,000 bun
'galow is built that doesn't have its
sleeping porch as well as its bedroom
Physicians look forward to the time
When nine-tenths of all classes of PEG
pie in Georgia will learn the adyant
ages of fresh air and sleep out doors
all year round.

ATLANTA WILL
ENFORCE LAWS
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE THAT
CAPITAL CITY WILL ENFORCE
PROHIBITION LAW.

ATLANTA. Jan. 12.-The new Geor-
gia prohibition laws. which are intend
ed to abolish locker clubs and beer
saloons, are going to be enforced in
Atlanta capital OF the state-to
the letter.
Indications are that it will not be
necessary 10 bring prosecution in the
courts to enforce the laws, but that
the locker clubs will voluntarily dis
pense with the serving of liquor to
members and that the beer saloons
will quietly fold their tents and dis
appear
In fact a number of beer saloons
have already gone out Of business, al
though they still had four months to
operate before the law became effect
i've. and the University club of Allan
Ia, which is perhaps the most exclu-
sive in entrance requirements of any
club in the city, abolished the serving
OF liquor to its members on Jan. l.
The finance committee of the city
council, which is now engaged in pre-
pairing the 1916 budget for presenta-
ton to council, has eliminated from its
calculations the revenue heretofore de-
rived from beer saloon licenses. This
i revenue last year was $4,000, there
| being 1850 beer saloons paying an an
nual city license of $500 each.
| The Atlanta Brewing & Ice com
pany, one of the largest breweries in
the state, is considering plans for an

/ built will be the largest outside of

I On account of the great popularity of

sport having almost superseded the
dance. the brewing company figures
| that an all-year ice rink operated with
artificial ice, may be the means of pay
| ing some returns on the hundreds of
thousand of dollars invested in the
plant
The city council of Atlanta, like the
councils of most other cities, passed a
special ordinance allowing beer sa-
looms to pay one-third of an annual
/ license for the privilege of operating
from Jan. 1 to May /, Only about
| half of the beer saloons took advant-
age of the offer The others are now
decorated with For Rent" signs and
the furniture and ixtures are being re-
moved from many of them. Yesterday

pany wagons moved through the retail
district loaded with beer saloon bar
counters, the company having owned
and operated under various names, a
large number of places.
