Hail Insurance Law
Helps Western Farmer
But Swats Man In East

Bismarck, N. D.. April e.-one of
the weaknesses in the operation OF
the stated hail INSURANCE. law IS shown
in the tax levies made and the
amounts distributed for hail losses.
Counties in the eastern part OF the
state are paying in. taxes more than
they are. receiving in hail loss pay
ments, while counties in the western
part of: the state are. receiving con,
siderably larger amounts for hail
losses sustained last year than they
paid into the hail fund.
The. state ahas issued $3,456,447.64
warrants to farmers who suffered crop
losses due to hail last year. The levy
for this purpose was $3,S59.647.94.
leaving approximately 5000 in the
fund. The fund was raised by assess
ing an indemnity Of three cents an
acre On all farm lands in the state and
25 cents an acre tax on all lab
lands; excepting such acreage as was
withdrawn,
Williams county received the larg-
est sum for hail losses suffered dur
ing 1919, $%696.112.20 having been
paid by the state. Rolette county, In
the eastern part of the state, received
only '~$1,670.20 for its hail losses. In
comparison. with these widely separf-
ated amounts, Williams county only
had to pay $1z5. 1929 in hail taxes,
while Rolette county paid $~40,559.S2,
approximately rs times as much. as 1t
received for losses,

6OPER CENT OF
1919 TAXES ARE in

Bismarck, n. D.. April 6.-Although
state taxes became, deliaquent On
March 1, only so per cent of the
amount levied has been received by
the state auditor, it was announced
here today. Counties in the'' eastern
part of the state have been experience
ing little difficulty in collecting the
1919 taxes, but the opposite is true Of
counties in. the western part of the
state.
The reason for the 'poor~showing
made by the western half of the state
is lack of available funds among the
farmers due to the poor crops raised
last season. All tases delinquent
March l must pay 5 per cent interest
for the first. month an additional
amount for each subsequent month.
Richland county is rejecting the
prosperity of it's inhabitants by the
manner in which it has made returns
to the state auditor on 1919 tax col
lections. The tax levy for Richland
county was s153.457.72 and Of this
amount $~13S,257.57 has been turned
into the state treasury. This'is exclu-
