HAIL INSUR-
ANCE TO Be
ONLY y CENTS
State Protection Will Cost Only One
Third Charge of Corporations.

The state hail insurance indemnity
assessment in North Dakota will not
exceed Is cents an acre this year and
it may not be over % cents an acre.
These figures are based on complete
reports from every county in the
state but one compiled by Insurance
Commissioner S. A. Olness. They are
10 and IL cents lowed than Mr.. Ols-
ness former estimate of IS cents and
represent hail insurance cost to the
farmers Of not more than one
third of what corporation hail insur-
ance would have cost them.
No one was more surprised by these
figures than Mr.. Olsness himself. His
former calculations had been infu-
enced by the misstatements in the l..
Y. A. press. One Of these state
ments was to the effect that fully so
per cent of the land under cultivation
had been withdrawn by the farmers
from the protection of state hail in
surance. This would have meant that
only 100000 acres would have been
left upon which to levy an assess
menta to pay hail insurance. Figures
for all the counties except Montrail
show that 12,500,000 acres Of cult
1t is practically certain that Noun
trail county reports will swell the
land left under the state hail insur-
ance to 100000 acres. This will re-
duce the assessment rate to % cents
an acre. This is less than one-third
Of what private hail insurance would
COST
What this means is told by Nh.
Olsness himself:
IL want to say, "began Mr.. Ols-
ness. that we certainly are pleased
with the results Of the first years
operation Of the new law. 1t has
proved several things. 1t has shown
that state insurance is practical:
that it is cheaper than private insur
ancc and that some Of our friends
Of the opposition and their newspaper
were deliberately wandering from the
truth last spring when they tried to
stampede the farmers before the re-
fercndum election.
"You ask me to compare the state
fund with the private line companies.
Well, sir, the difference is so great
that there is no comparison.
"lf they had written the insurance
on the same basis as the state, insur-
ing up to 81 an acre in all localities,
their premiums would have been 10
per cent or 10 cents. Yet with a pre-
MUM Of 25 cents the state can NEE,
all losses in the worst hail year the
state has ever known, meet the cx-
pense Of its department and lay up
surplus Of $4,000. That is one
difference.
IF the line companies had written
the insurance this year on the 13,O00,-
OO0 acres on the same basis as the
state, they would have left, after pay
ing the same losses the state must
pay, just about $5,600,O00 in profits,
minus the small cost of administra-
ton. TO me that seems to clearly
explain why the companies did all
lney could to hinder the working o.
the state law and why the opposition
to the farmers movement tried to
make the hail fund failure.'
