Roa dBuilding Talk
There was little more than talk at the
meeting of the house and senate Joint
committee on roads and highways in the
house of representatives last evening
The committee was left with the impress
sion that it was up to it to whip into
shape what was considered the most i'm
portant Legislation before the Twenty
ninth assembly of Oregon solons. The
discussion centered about the provisions
of house bills Nos. l9l and 213, one
with the backing of the Oregon Good
Roads association and the other by Rep
resentative Laurgaard, which is said to
embody the governor s idea.
The manner of appointment of the
highway commission by the governor,
and the fact that III the Laurgaard bill
the state engineer was left out of con
sideration were points of criticism.
Among those who spoke with some de-
gree of decision and point were George
Neuner, former representative and now
district attorney of Douglas county; F.
G. Harley, mayor of Astoria, and George
Joseph, a Portland attorney.
Proposed Insurance Code.
Insurance men from Portland to the
number of l25 were present last night

endorsed with scarcely any opposition
whatever The Portland delegation,
which represented insurance agents. the
companies, and the property owners, en-
dorsed the measuer as it was drafted,
and offered practically no change in
its 100 pages of matter.
Brief talks were made by the visit
ors, who represented the board compan-
les independent companies, and fraten-
al organizations that issue insurance

FARMERS Get
INSURANCE BY
FRAUD, CHARGE
Insurance Companies Claim
Many Crops Lost When
Policies were Written.

Bismarck. N. D., Sept. 11.-That
certain farmers have through fraudu-
lent means procured the insurance Of
crops already lost are the claims Of
crop insurance companies which r
resisting the payment Of policies writ
ten in North Dakota, advises State
Insurance Commissioner A. s.. Olsness.
Complaints were made to the state
insurance commissioner some time
ago alleging that insurance COM
panies which last spring wrote
policies covering crops in a certain
section of the state were "%reneging"
on their bargain, and attempting to
induce poltcy-holders to accept he
return Of their premiums in lieu Of
the face value Of their policies.
According to the insurance COM
panies. there are two, sides to this
question. In frequent instances. the
insurance companies claim, investiga-
>tion has revealed that at the time
their policies were written crops in
sured already were recognized as a to-
tai loss and were plowed under soon
after the delivery of the policies. The
companies allege they face bankrupt
cy If they make al effort to meet all
OF these alleged claims.
1.-THE case is one which merits the
closest investigation" said the insur-
ance commissioner today. "and this
department does not care to commit
itself to a statement until 1t Is In full
possession of the facts"

LlGNlTE Mine
STRIKE LEADER
UNDER ARREST
Dorr Carroll, Defense Coun-
Gil Chairman, Swears
Out Warrant.

Minot, N. D.. Sept. l1.-on a war
rant sworn out by Dorr Fl. Carroll,
chairman of the North Dakota Coun-
Gil Of Defense legal committee, j.. W.,
Anderson, chairman Of the grievance
of the striking Ignite
miners In this section of North Da-
kota, was arrested.
Yesterday afternoon 1t was reported
that strike leaders had threatened to
shoot my miner who went back to
work unless the demanded increase in
wages was granted by the mine oper-
ators. Attorney Carroll and States
Attorney Herigstad were notified Of
the trouble and at once went to the
scene.
A week ago the miners demanded.a
raise Of 10 cents a ton in their pay
and an increase for helpers, making
the total raise IL tents a ton. The
operators decided to accept this and
then the miners raised the demands,
the operators claim, to SO cents per
ton.
The price Of coal was raised from
So a ton to $3.50 and the miners
claimed they were not getting the
wages to correspond with the price of
the fuel.
An effort will be made to effect a
settlement this week and If 1t cannot
be done, Mr.. Carroll will take the
matter up with the federal depart
ment of Justice. The operators are
said to be willing to take all the
miners back, as they have no black
lists.

GUARANTY FUND
MAY BE READY
FIRST OF YEAR
Will Total over S41, 900, says
Waters-All Bank Re
ports In.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 11.-North
Dakota's first guaranty deposit FUND
is expected to become aavilable jan
uary 1, and will total $41,674.50, ac-
cording to an estimate made by state
Examiner j.. r. Waters today. That
amount. 1t Is believed, will be suh-
cient to meet any demand which will
be made on the fund for the reim-
bursement OF .depositors in any one
year. If it should prove insufficient,
the state guaranty board has authority
under an act passed by the last leg
islature to- call up to $833,49O.
The guaranty fund Is based upon
the average daily deposits of the 696
banks and four trust companies which
are the be~neaciafies. Such average
daily deposits, reports in the office Of
the state examiner show. are $S8,849,-
900. The law authorizes the state
board to levy for the guaranty fund
one-twentieth of one per cent Of these
deposits, which Is equivalent to sal
s GA, the amount which the board will
have at its disposal July 1.
Remains on Deposit.
This guaranty fund 10 not removed
from the state banks which set 1t
aside, until there is a demand for
funds with which to reimburse de-
failure of some states banks or for
some other reason which the act COW
ers. Then only such percentage is
called as may be actually needed.
Each year a sum equivalent to one
twentieth, Of one per cent is added un-
til the fund amounts to n per cent
of the average deposits. At the end
of 20 years this fund maybe expect
ed to have swelled to not less than q.
million dollars. When the fund shall
have become equivalent to n per
cent Of the average daily deposits no
further levies are to be made upon
the state banks until the fund through
the payment Of losses falls below that
standard.
