BEGUILE FARMERS :
LAWYERS FIND CHANCE TO GET
FEE ON HAIL INSURANCE.

Pierre, May Insurance Com
missioner Van Camp is sending out
a circular letter showing the cost of
state hail insurance to the farmers
of the state as compared with other
hail insurance. In this he calls at
tention to the following situation:
"Some insurance agents, we are
informed, have in their possession
exemption blanks furnished them by
certain of the companies they repre-
sent, asking that the agent have the
farmer exempt himself from the state
hail law to the end that they may
secure a larger premium for their
company and a commission for them
selves. If the farmer hasn't the
ready cash to pay the premium they
will take his note. In the state fund
no note is required nor interest
charged. premium being payable aft
Ell January / each year with other
taxes.
Then, too, we have been In
formed that certain attorneys over
the state are recommending that the
farmers come to them SO that they
can make out exemption blanks for
them. so they may collect a small fee
for the service. The assessor will
carry all necessary blanks, which are
SO simple the farmer can make them
out himself In his own home and
mail them to the county auditor, or
IL he desires he can go to the office
of the county auditor and make them
out. These blanks are all free to

Confesses to Charge
of Graft in the
Printing Contract
CONTINUED from page One)

that it would be the Official Paper
providing it had the best bid in an
open competition. This paper has
fought for a square deal, has in
sisted upon that and has asked nor
expected nor wanted anything else.
Inns paper has been pure in its mot
ives and it's hands have been clean
at all times.
The letting of the contract proves
the honesty of the position of the
Producers News.
The letting of the contract con-
v1cts the Pioneer Press.
This paper leaves it to all fair
minded and decent men to decide
who has been crooked, who has lied
The Producers News or the Pioneer
Press.
The letting of the contract to the
lowest bidder gives the lie also to the
stories appearing in some other pa
pers of the lesser fry, who have
lately joined the Pioneer Press in its
death gurgles.
And further, the forcing of the
county printing contract to bids, is
a victory for the Producers News
the so-called, "pay sheet" and fol
every dollar saved the taxpayers or
the printing contract, the farmers
and taxpayers can thank the farm
ers' paper for-because if it had not
been for this paper it would continue
to cost the taxpayers of this county
500 per day, $40 of which is graft,
to get the county printing done.
Next week will appear in these
columns, so that all the people may
know, synopsis of all the bids, to-
gether with the prices paid last veal
for the same, so that the taxpayers
may compute for themselves the diff
ference between the prices PAID this
year and the prices paid last.
Of course, the Pioneer Press, be-
ing a scab shop and maintaining I'm.
fair conditions, it is easily possible
for it to underbid the Producers
News which maintains fair condi'
tions and union shop.

lowing six policies:

Endowment maturing at the Age

This insurance will be the most
liberal in the world and It will be
the strongest. It will be with Uncle
Sans own company. The United
States Government, having created
the worlds biggest insurance con-
Germ for the sole benefit OF the armed
forces Of the country. proposes to
continue the same business for the
same reasons.
All expenses of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance will be paid by the
Government, which means that the
rate for this converted insurance will
average at least fifteen per cent low
er than the rates charged by private
companies.
To be sure, the rate on the con-
verted policies will be somewhat
higher than that now being paid for
the Governments term insurance by
men in the service. 1t may be that
these men, returning to civil life,
will feel that for the present they
cannot pay any additional amount for
insurance. Taking that fact into
consideration, the Government has
allowed q period Of i've years in
which the present term insurance
can be carried at the present rate.
This provision will give the men time
to take care Of an additional charge
for insurance and also give them
abundant time to determine what
form Of insurance they prefer.
But to take advantage of this con-
version privilege, premiums must be
kept paid up, and the conversion to
the permanent form Of insurance
must be made at some time within
the I'VE year period.
All the policies will contain q total
disability clause, making them pay
able at any time the insured may be-
