Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 6.-That the

the present rates in force are ma
terially larger than the bureaus
needs is indicated by figures on the
receipts and disbursements Of the bus
reau on file at the office Of the state

During the first year of its opera

amounted to $534,S52.46. while the
disbursements were. only s1os.O15.o5,
In the same way the total receipts
of the bureau from the time it was
inaugurated in July 1919 up to Jan.
J., 1921, amounted to $1,o34,sSS.24,
while the disbursements for all pur-
poses during the same period
amounted to $231.224.56.
A Small Portion.
In other words the total expenses
of the. bureau in paying claims over
head. and all other expenses have
been little more than one-ffth Of its
income. L

now built up q fund amounting tc
$803,663.05, which would seem to in.
dicate that unless some cut in the
rates or other treasure is. speedily

Perhaps this is the reason that the
fund has been handled in the man

amount is deposited in the Bank O.

quotes a letter from Mr.. Worst to the

however, that the farmers program
is not political: it is purely eco
