FRAZIER REELECTED BY MAJORITY
! OF 10000 At GENERAL ELECTION TUESDAY
BURKE CNUNTY !. !.
/ TOWNS CANvAssEl

I On Monday, Nov. 1st CAnYassing
Ssonrmittees Of earnest men and wo-
s,nen from the farms went Hto the
Scities and villages of Burke ,coun-
Ely to uork for the Nonpartisan
League candidates and against the
Claws initiated by the l.. v. A. to de-
.4stroy their program.
The members of these committees
were actuated by the most unselfish
of motives-to attract support to
the cause in which they SO thorough
ly believe. They made this cam
was because so few of the residents
Iof the towns turn out to N. P. L.
meetings and because they believe
shat a great majority of city resi-
dents have opposed our program
because they have been mislead by
organized propa ganda Of the profit
seezing interests that will lose their
graft when the NJ P. L. program is
fully carried out.
In some instances the effect of
this propaganda WIS plainly shown
yby the city voters canvassed.
In most-instances the committees
were received courteously;, but gen.
5erally with degree of suspicious
reserve that plainly showed that
their minds have been poisoned to
such all extent that they are willing
to take the word ofs the profiteers
as truth and regard as untrue the
statements of: the farmers organi-
zation.
: In some few instances the dupes
of these proiteering interests be-
~ nd f,
give the committees hearing.
I. The members of the Nonpartisan
League are asking themselves a few
questions. especially since the vote
from Flaxton and Portal has been
counted:--What method do the peo-
pie of the towns wish us to persues
to prevail upon them to. work withs
.us to better cOndit:ons? - We have
tried persuasion for five years.
That's a. frienily way We are their;
best frienns, because we are the
only ones fighting their worst enc
mics anr we are making this fight
under the handicap of having those
who should be helping us in the
towns used as tools of the profiteer-
ing interests to prevent us getting
relief from wrong conditions.
Must we abandon our policy of
persuasion? Because like spoiled
children they refuse to listen to rea-
son shall we continue to waste time
and effort upon them?
Nonpartisan League farmers and
their sympathizers are determined
to stay in this fight for better con-
ditiCns till it's won We can win
it with handicaps, but are getting
tired OF dead wood Are getting
tired of supporting those who are
blocking the whee-s of progress;
are getting tired of feeding those
fighting us-better -nan we are able
to feed ourselves.

HAIL / PREMIUM TO
Be 28c An ACRE

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 4.-The
state hail insurance indemnity tax
for the season juss closed will be
it was announced soday by S. A.
Olsness, commissioner Of insurance,
and Martin S. Hagen, manager of
the state hail insurance department..
Altho there were 1872 more
crop losses this year than last the
state has not been obliged to in
crease its rate over last year.
Farmers of North Dakota who in.
sured their crops under the state
law received the same protection
for 25 cents per: acre premium plus
three cent fat tax, as that afforded
by private line companies at Il
cents Sper acre.
Twelve Million Acres Z.
On the basis Of 12,132,974 acres
Of cropped land insured under the
state hail insurance law, the old
line companies would have collect
ed s9,342,3S9 from the farmers.
The saving effected to the agricul-
tural Industry of the state this. year
again passes the S5.0O0,O00 mark.
Two outstanding features of the
administration of the hail insur-
ance department during its second
year of existence are the low cost
of operation or overhead, and the
economical expense of. adjusting
claims in comparison with the same
statistics on private line companies.
The overhead Of the department is
2.85 per cent. Statistics on file in
the. insurance commissioners office
show the ratio Of overhead to- total
premium receipts ranges from: 25
per cent to- >per cent :
The cost of adjusting the claims
under the private line. system is
commonly figured. at $40 per claim.
according to Mr.. Hagen. The state
performed the same work at a cost
of only $500 s
Low Overhead Record 5
Not only Is the. ratio of overhead
low in comparison with the private
line companies but it sets a record
for the large state operated hail
funds for, United States and Canada.
The ratio for the Alberta fund after
six years operation, was six pei
cent, the Saskatchewan four and
half per cent, Montana seven per
cent and the old North Dakota plan
four and half per cent. The much
restricted Nebraska fund; not COM
parable with the North Dakota fund
aud which paid losses Of but z$8l4,e

"a ratio Of two and half per cent.
The; total acreage insured by the
state hail fund this year was 12,-
1894, practically the same as last
years total. despite the reduced
acreage planted. The total losses
for the season were $3,472,630.42,
or approximately $4,000 less than
last year,

state hail fund for 1920 totalled
