Lyceum Course Number
Pleases Large Aud
ience

The Victory Players, who app
cared Monday evening as the first
number of the Kadoka Commerc-
ial Club Lyceum Course, held TO-
rth at the Scenic Theatre and en-
tertained one of the largest first
number audiences ever accorded
the Lyceum Course in the past,
the theatre being well filled, and
those present certainly enjoyed a
treat, and the entertainment pre-
sented by these people is of the
highest class, and as some EXPIRE
ssed 1T was real big city stuff"
Miss Pratt, the leading member
Of the company is a reader of the
greatest ability, and her select
ions were received with convuls-
ions of laughter throughout the
entire evening. She had an ex-
ceedingly pleasing stage appear
anec and nearly all of her select
ions were for laughing purposes
only, although she demonstrated
her ability by quickly changing
from the ridiculous to the sub
lime, and rendering the most tou-
ching of selections. She is also
possessed of pleasing singing
voice and this part of her enter
tainment was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Stone, the violinist, wan an
artist and his selections on the
one string violin demonstrated why
he is known throughout the cou-
ntry as the one-string wizard.
Mr.. Brager, the native Belgian,
had a wonderful voice and his
solos were greatly enjoyed by the
big audience, in fact he was en-
cared a number of times, as were
the rest of the company. Mr..
Brager made his biggest hit tho
ugh with his accordion selections,
an instrument of which he is ce-
tainly master
Taken all together the enter
tainment was among the very
best that has ever visited our lit
tie city. and the only fault we
can find with the Redpath-Vawter
Company, from whom the enter
tainment was purchased by the
Commercial Club, is that their ad-
vance notices on these people are
by no means strong enough.
Three other numbers will be
given on the Lyceum Course, and
the season tickets for. these three
numbers will be sold by the men,
bers of the Commercial Club and
everyone who has not already
purchased season ticket is ur-
ged to do so, as the savings over
the single number admission will
he considerable. The next num-
Der of the Course will appear du-
ring the early part of February.

only partly used and ultimately
will all be returned to the general
fund of the state as the South
Dakota law makes the hail insur-
ce department entirely self sup
porting. Our Legislature, we
think wisely provided for the bor-
rowing of money so that the losses
of the farmers could be paid
promptly in cash.
The operation of the South Da-
kota hail insurance fund has
worked out better than we dared
hope. and while there was consid-
cradle opposition to it after the
adjournment of the 1919 session
of the legislature, it is increasing
in popularity every day since it
has proven its worth.
Webelieve that time has demon
strated that of the different plans
for state hail insurance, the South
Dakota plan is easily ahead of all
the rest. The farmers of South
Dakota represent the wealth OF
the state and that they are good
business men goes without saying.
They appreciate that the state hail
insurance department has been
conducted its first season at q
very low cost, when only $50, 2,S0S.6l
was expended; while in North OAK
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1920-01-16

the past season there were about
100000 acres of land insured;
their law provides for a tax of 3
cents per acre on all tillable land
in the state whether plowed or
pasture land. no right of with
drawal from the tax being allow
ed. In this way they raised for
the hail fund in the state SS5O.OOO.
To produce $3.50, 600 by 3-cent
tax it must have been spread over
2S,333,33 acres, while the insured
crop acreage was only 12,0OO.OOO
acres. This is equivalent Ia tax
of a little more than 7 cents per
acre on the titled acreage actually
insured.
After finding the total losses
for the season in North Dakota,
an indemnity tax Of rs cents an
acre was levied against the plowed
land listed. This added to the z
cents an acre would make 80 cents
per acre the amount to be levied
on the agricultural land. For this
they furnished 81 per acre protec-
tion while in all of that part Of
South Dakota except the extreme
western part where little farming
was done the state hail fund in
South Dakota furnished $40 per
acre protection for IS cents per
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1920-01-16

acre. If they had furnished $40
per acre protection in North Da-
kota their rate would have had to
be 45.7 cents per acre.
Records in the hail insurance
department disclose the fact that
43,92l farmers were insured in the
state hail fund in South Dakota in
1919 and that 3,950,667 acres were
protected or about one-fourth of
the insurable crop acreage of the
state, according to the reports in
the office of the state tax commits
sion. The premiums when collec-
ted, according to our records, will
amount to. in round numbers, ST.
294 4,059.68. We have adjusted and
paid losses for the season to the
amaunt of 1892, ,503.l0, the losses
being scattered quite generally ov-
er the state, some in each county
of the state except Clay and Un-
ion.
The cost of administering the
law in South Dakota was only
So, 2,S08.6l, while in North Dakota
$4,000 wasus ed up and the spec
ial session of the legislature in
December. 1919, appropriated an
additional $4,000 for expenses.
The $50,000 appropriated by the
legislature of South Dakota was
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1920-01-16

ota the expense Of the hail insur-
ance department prior TO Novem-
ber 10 was in excess of $4,000.
One reason is that North Dakota
had an army of adjusters employ
ed. The official records of that
state disclose the names and adj
dresses of the 2O7 North Dakota
official hail adjusters who drew
pay during the 1919 season South
Dakota had fifteen adiusters on
their poy roll. never more than ten
working at any one time.
One reason for the excessive hal
loss in North Dakota. was that
the adjusters adjusted their own
and their neighbors losses, with
the result that i'm many instances
more than the actual loss sustain
ed was paid, which accounts for
part of the large hail loss appear
ing on their records. With ten
resident adjusters working in
single county adjusting losses of
their relatives and neighbors and
their own, considerable bacon
ought to be brought home.

Pierre, S. D., To the Editor
The Nonpaartisan Leader of Nit

Dakota, in a recent issue says:
The nonpartisan league, state

and cheapest hail insurance of
them all. We make this state
ment after a careful comparison
of the systems in operation in
Canada, South Dakota and sur
rounding states.
Thus the nonpartisan league ed
itor attempts to convince the
farmers of South Dakota that the
South Dakota state hail insurance
act is not a workable law and en-
deavors by comparison to show
that the North Dakota law is more
workable q statute and provides
greater benefits at lower cost.
With that in mind we have made

Irish Local and State
Governments Opposed

DUBLIN, July 6.-The net results Of
the recent county council elections is
that now both in the cities and In the
counties in % out of 80 counties, the
local government Is In direct hostility
to the central government
The first conflict between them will
arise out of the question of paying
compensation for outrage. Every day
the judges are awarding to the rel
atives OF murdered policemen, to injur-
ed policemen land to owners of burned
police premises large sums as COM
pensation chargeable on the local
rates. The total already runs up close
to 975O,000.
The local authorities have refused to
collect taxes for these payments. In
the case of some of them the govern
ment can secure money by deductions
from the sums payable to the local au-
thorities by the imperial exchequer in
relief OF local taxes.
In the majority Of cases the parties
awarded compensation have only ac-
quired right to sue the local authori-
ties in the courts for the money. 1t
is believed that even after Judgment is
given. the local authorities will refuse
to pay. Many Of them have passed
resolutions saying they will recognize
no authority save that of Dali Eireann.
