FRAZIER
STICKS ON
-. THE JOB
Will Not Be Able to Address
County Commissioners
at Minot

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. Ex-Governor
Frazier announced this morning that
he will not be able to address the an
nual convention of North Dakota
county commissioners at Minot next
week. Mr.. Frazier so advised the pro-
gram committee some time ago, stat
ing he did not feel he could spare the
time from his Office during the legis-
lative session. Evidently some mistake
was made, as the story supplied by the
Minot arrangements committee named
Governor Frazier as one Of the speak
ers. \ = ...,
It is very apparent that the COVER
nor regards his duty to the state as
more important than any glory which
may come from travelling over the
commonwealth and making speeches.
He is very much on the job from an
early hour in the morning until late
in the evening. He usually lunches at
the capitol, and may be found in his
offices during the noon hour. No one,
no matter how unimportant he may
be, is refused an audience, and while
the governor has the happy faculty of
impressing visitors with the necessity
Of making their interviews brief, he
also conveys the impression that he is
glad to meet folks and Is honestly
concerned in their problems. For a
man fresh from the farm, who never
before has held public Office, North
Dakota's chief executive displays a
rare aptitude for the job to which he
has been elevated.

Stringent Regulation
of Fire Insurance
Rates is Proposed
(Bv H. D. Paulson.)

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 13. - 1t is
understood that the insurance bill pro-
posed by Senator Martin, for the es-
tablishment of an insurance bureau
for the control of fire insurance rates,
is not favored by the administration.
The administration is engaged in a
preparation of a bill more stringent
than the Martin measure.
This latter measure will be as fol-
lows:
The insurance commissioner will be
authorized to make examination or all
rating bureaus. He may address in
quiries to any Individual, association
or bureau concerned in making rates
for fire insurance demanding lnforma-
ton as to it's maintenance or operation
or any other matter with which the
commissioner may be concerned.
He shall also have power TO examine
such rate-making bureau as often az
he may see fit, and in any case IN
not less than once in every three
years.
No fire insurance company or other
insurer against the risk of fire or
lightning, nor any rate making bureau
shall charge any rate for such insur-
ance which discriminateS unfairly be-
tween risks. Any company desiring a
variation from the established rule
must file with the commissioner of in
surance at least fifteen days prior to
the taking effect Of such variation
written statement Of the reason why.
All fire insurance companies operat-
ing in the state are required to main
tain or be a member of rating
bureau to be composed of one or more
insurers, and each bureau must admit
to membership any company authoriz-
ed to operate in the state. Within
sixty days after the taking effect of

surance company doing business in
North Dakota must notify the COM
missioner Of insurance of each rating
bureau making rates upon property
located within this state Of which it
is a member, and shall hereafter re-
port annually. in writing as to such
rating bureau.
Every rating bureau shall inspect
every risk specifically rated and shall
make a written survey of such risk,
which shall remain in the office Of
such bureau as a permanent record.
All rating agreements shall be sub
mitted for the approval Of the COM
missioner of insurance.
The commissioner of insurance shall
have full power to review any rate
fixed by such bureaus.
Any fire insurance company violat-
ing any Of the provisions of this act
may be penalized by a fine Of not less
than 500 or more than $4,000, and in
addition its license, or that of any
broker or agent found guilty of such
violation, may be revoked or suspend
ed by the commissioner of insur-
arce.
This Act Will Pass.
This is the act recommended by

lor. advocated by the present COM
missioner, S.. A. Olsness, and drafted

commissioner. a man Of many years
experience in the North Dakota insur-

measure of this kind passes the pres

forming TO the above outline will be

FARMERS OF ..
BINFORD PLAN
COOPERATION

Binford, n. D., Jan. lathe PROPOSE
ton of organizing a livestock shipping
association among the farmers in this
community will be discussed at the
meeting of the Binford Farmers club
on Saturday, Jan. 20.
The object of this association, if or
ganized, will be strictly along cooper
atiVe lines, and will be of great benefit
to members who have stock to ship,
The plan is to overcome, as much as
possible, the loss of profit to the farm
er by eliminating the middle man. 1t
will also be of advantage to the small
shipper, who seldom has enough of his
own stock to fill car, by cooperating
with others to make a full shipment.
The plan is being worked successfully
in other parts of the state.
Prof. NJ. A. Maryland, of the extension
department of the agricultural college,
will be here between trains, and will
give an outline of the proposition and
show the benefits to be derived from
such an organization.
Every member of the club and others,
who are not members, are urged to be

MANDAN BANK ASKS FOR
CHARTER EXTENSION

Mandan, n. D., Jan. 1S.-Owing to
the fact the charter of the State bank
will expire the latter part OF TINS
month, stockholders at their annual
meeting recently, granted officers per-
mission to apply for an extention OF
their charter for twenty-five years
longer. w. A. Lanterman, president
of the bank stated that application
for the extention will be made to the
secretary of state in a day or two.
The State Bank of Morton county
is one of the oldest banks in western
North Dakota. At the annual meet
ing of the stockholders held Wednes-
day all the officers were reelected.
At the annual meeting OF the stock
holders of the First National bank
held in this city recently the surplus
fund was increased from $4,000 to
$40 900. This with the doubling Of the
Capitalization of the bank last year
makes two important changes in the
history of the bank during it's exist
ence. At the present time the First
National bank has total resources or
S14O 600. making it one Of the largest
banks in the state.

WATKINS
WINS Big
VICTORY
North Dakota Enforcement
League Successful After
Years Fight
OPENS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN
Fictitious Shipments of
Liquor Will Be Fought
Hereafter

Wahpeton, n. D.. Jan. 13.-The
North Dakota, Enforcement league
won a notable victory when during
the present term of court in Wahpe-
ton, John Allen pleaded guilty of re-
ceiving and receipting for intoxicat-
ing liquor not consigned to himself
and consigned under a fictitious name.
Mr.. Allen pleaded guilty and was fined
$3.50.
The fight on Allen has lasted for
years. The league several years ago
had his pool hall closed for liquor
nuisance and he sold the building and
moved into the building next door.
superintendent Watkins secured evil
dence against the place for gambling
and It was closed. Last fall evidence
was secured in the present case and
a hard fight was promised but as the
evidence was on railroad records, AL
len pleaded guilty.
Some time ago Mr.. Watkins put the
facts in the hands of u. S. District
Attorney Hildreth at Fargo and the
matter of violation of the United
States law will be laid before the
grand jury.
This case is of especial Importance
as it opens the enforcement league

ed to ones self

STOCKS INACTIVE
 WITH TENDENCY ID
 MUCH LOWER LEVEL
Public Loses Interest and Traders Sell on Every Ad- vance-Peace RumOrs
 Unsettling Element

New York, January 7.-Practically the same influences that operated to depress stock market values in the final weeks of last year were again effective last week, though in more moderate degree. Dealings lacked the initiative of public interest and trad CTS continued to sell the active list at almost every marked advance.
 The trend of foreign events was against the most potent factor. In keep ing with December markets, however, price changes were often paradoxical and confusing, so-called peace stocks falling on renewal of peace rumors, while war shares as often lost ground on developments favorable to those issues in the bull market of last fall.
 Absence of any marked investment demand thus far this year is the most feature to conservative financial interests. This condition is as- cribed to a natural hesitation growing out of current peace negotiations and the probability of another large foreign undertaking by our bankers.
 Rails were less active than at any recent period and the mixed statements of earnings for November offered con- trast to the general gains of the pre- ceding months. Industrial conditions lost none of last years favorable as- poets, but estimates dealing with the earnings of the United States Steel cor poration for the last quarter of 1916 were somewhat modified.
 Metals were irregular, partly in con- sequence of the belief that foreign de- mand reached it's crest some weeks ago.. Price concessions for high grade cop per served to strengthen this belief. The more distinctive equipments and munitions were obviously affected by rumors which suggested an increasing disposition by foreigners to patronize home markets. All forms of foreign re- mittance, sterling excepted, were ir- regular or heavy on nominal dealings. Signs point to further large gold inn ports from London with Paris and Pe- trograd as probable participants.

SHIP YARDS AND
 RAILROADS BUYING
 IN STEEL MARKET
Continued Demand From These Sources Feature of Trade During Week.
 War Orders Decrease
By Hop

New York, January 7.-Tncreased
 pressure for marine steel and buying
 of railroad equipment are the most prominent features in the steel industry
 at the moment. Export inquiries during the last week continue large and inn
 portant but fewer contracts for shell
 steel were closed. and it was considered significant that for the time being, no more large tonnages were being placed for delivery after next July.
 Rail mills have accepted additional contracts for about 09,000 tons for 1918 shipment, of which 10000 tons are for frogs and switch manufacturers. Rail-
 roads in the west have ordered 25.000 tons more from Chicago mills. The Southern Pacific order for 55,000 tons
 was included in the 1916 contracts. Railroads also have placed contracts for 2200 more cars and for 10000 tons
 of structural work since the advent of 1917.
 1 Buying of pig iron had been reduced
 to very small proportions but prices
 are well sustained. A few more con- tracts for export have been taken and
 there are number of inquiries in the
 market, including Bessemer iron for
 France, low phosphorus for Holland.
 and foundry grades for Switzerland.
