South Dakota is the moot progress
i've state in the Union. 1t is purely an
agricultural state and looks always TO
the interests or that part of her people.
In 1915 there was enacted the nrst
workable Bank Guarantee Law ever
placed upon the statute books; in 1917
the first workable Rural Credit Law
ever enacted was written, and the ses-
sion just closed placed on the statute
books a hail insurance law that is to
provide hail insurance to the farmers
OF the state at actual cost. Since 1909
the people OF the state nave been ask
Ing this kind of legislation but on ac-
count OF the Constitution such a law
could not be passed until the last SEES
sion after the Constitution had been
amended by the people at the election
on November 9TH, 1918.
The farmers OF the state have had
to pay formerly for hail insurance all
the way from III per cent to 1914 per
cent, and in 1913 the farmers OF the
state paid in premiums $1~,577,217.27.
and received in losses paid 1868. S69.46.

proper blanks the insurance may be
