INCREASED COST OF FIRE
INSURANCE AFTER APRIL


The fire insurance companies have
added surcharge of 10 per cent to
meet the extra war expenses. This
applies to all risks except agricultural
or farm risks, and took effect on the
9th day of April, last, according to
official information issued by Walter
I. Fisher, of the General Inspection
Co., Minneapolis, MINI.
Commissioner Sanborn of Minneso-
ia notified the South Dakota Commits
sioner and myself that on the 10th
day of April a hearing would be held
before his department, when represent
tatives of the large fire insurance
companies would present arguments
in support of the proposed rate. AL
though the Insurance Departments of
North and South Dakota have no SUI
pervision of insurance rates, whatso-
ever, both Commissioner Van Camp
and myself attended this meeting for
the sake of information.
Some of the principal arguments
presented are: That under the War
Revenue Acts of September, 1916, and
October, 1917, separate and distinct
taxes are imposed on the companies:
(a) Capital Stock Tax.
(b) Corporation Income Tax.
(c) Premium Tax.
Increase in postage, travelling, sal
aries, printing supplies, and what is
considered perhaps the most important
item, that the cost of replacing build
ings has increased about so per cent
for labor and material.
1t is also argued that the increase
in losses for the year 1917 amounted
to over $35,00O,00O more than for the
same period the year previous, and
that this was due to incendiarism and
other causes, owing to the war.
While this may all be true in general
it is not applicable to North Dakota
with reference to losses ascribable to !
the war. Fire Marshal Reed states
that, so far as known, not single |
laid to those causes.
Whether said surcharge is justified
or not depends on whether the rates in
the past were just or excessive. One
cannot help but ponder as to why the
extra rate should not apply to fam
property, as well, especially in the
Dakotas, for according to the argu.
ments of these men, the measure is
not a rate increase but one to offset
the extra cost of doing business dur
ing the time of war. This, of course,
should apply to farm insurance as
we'll. This leniency toward farm prop
erty is all the more inconsistent in
view Of the fact that many stock in
surance men have claimed that they
are losing money on this class.
May it not be that the many Farm
Mutuals with their splendid protec-
ton, at nominal rate, act as a regu-
lator in this case?
It is to be hoped that our State
Fire Mutuals may see their way clear
to maintain the old rates, or rather, to
not add the surcharge. If so, they
would undoubtedly witness great in
crease in their business.
AS stated before, having no super
vision Of rates, thought it timely to
call the attention of the public to
those conditions. The raise of 10 per

HARTLAND WOMAN DIED.

Donnybrook Courier::' Mrs. E. ].

quite suddenly Tuesday last week. She
had been suffering from an attack of
lagrippe. The Matthews family was

borhood, coming here from Iowa in
1902. Funeral services were held at
the Congregational church in Berth
old on Thursday. Deceased was born

ance will likely meet with disfavor

accept, willy-nilly.

THEDA BARA IN CLEOPATRA

Just think of Theda Bara "vamp-
ing" the Congress of the United
States. Yet that is what it may come
to IT the suggestion of "a New York
suffragist is followed blythe women of
the country-and maybe the men, too.
One of them has written Miss Bara
this letter, which may have possibili-
ties:
I'VE now have our vote and if wo
man is nominated, you have a good
chance to be elected President of the
United States, as your popularity IS
great and your well wishers are
many"
Can you imagine Miss Bara love
pirate, devils daughter, champion
screen vampire addressing the SEN
ate and House in joint session as the
President f the United States ?
Strange things happen now. Ten
years ago no one believed it would be
possible to elect woman to the
House OF Representatives, yet Miss
jeanette Rankin is there representing
the sovereign people of Montana, and
what is more, makes speeches from
the floor just the same as any man
representative.
Miss Bara has just made "Cleopat-
ra" for William Fox, a superlative
portrayal Of the life and loves of the
Siren Of the Nile, and has been delv-
ing into Egyptian mysticism, and she
may have some definite plans on how
to govern country.

pers to ebthe first to mention her in
connection with the Presidency of the

Old FANEUlL HALL

Eoston Landmark, Erected in 174o. for

was a native of New York state, Peter
faneuil, born in New Rochelle. who
built the hall and presented it to Bos-
ton in 114O. When he died three wears
later 1T was the scene of memorial ex-
ercises in his honor. What glorious
patriotic meetings have been held in
the building and its reconstructions
since that time; in the Revolutionary
war and all our wars, in abolition
tunes and whenever the times demand
ed that free speech should have utter
ance, observes the New York Sun.

FaneuiI hall, with its market below
and meeting hall above, is to be re-
stored to the original fabric and de-
sign as well as may be, and to be made

It6l all but the shell was burned. Not
since then, we believe, have the build
ing and its additions been seriously
threatened. Yet it has always been
deplorably combustible. Here is what
The finance commission has to saw
about it:
In the basement the floor tin1bers
are unprotected. The refrigerator
rooms are packed with cork. The cork
ana the unprotected timbers give an
opportunity for fire damage in this
part of the building. The windows
are of common glass with wooden
sashes and present n danger from fire
on the outside. Over the upper hall
there is a dumb waiter running from
the room used as Il kitchen which is
constructed of intlanmable material"
And there is much more of the same
Kind. 1t is a painful thought that
modern Boston has neglected the Cra-
die Of American Liberty. Such, how
ever, seems to be the case.

ccnce there would have been if fire, had
