THREATS WONT HELP MATTERS

Bolshevism is threatening the
farmers of the Middle west because
OF the situation in which they find
themselves. A. j. Shoyer, secre-
tary of the Nebraska Farmers Fed
Grafton. told the Joint committee
on agriculture of the house and
senate which is investigating farm
conditions.
had turned Republican in the hope
that the Republican administration
would afford them relief. II that
relief was not forthcoming. he
added. the farmers were likely to
turn Just as readily 10 the teach
ings Of the Bolshevists.
Level headed farmers will. follow
no such course. Neither the Re
publican party. the Democratic
party. the Socialist party or any
other party can change the laws OF
supply and demand or maintain
artificial prices for any length of
time.
The farmers today face exactly
the same conditions as are faced
by the mining industry. the timber
industry, our merchant marine and
every other industry which bene-
fitted greatly by wartime prices.
Figured on basis of wartime cost
of operation and profit. the mining.
timber ship and other industries
face heavy losses. But these in
dustries have started to readjust.
dropped their prices and are re-
ducing their cost OF operation cor
respondingly.
No legislation which the farmers
or any other class could force
through congress to hold up prices
in any line will remedy the situa-
tion The final result would simp-
ly be a worse collapse than any
normal drop which IS now taking
place.
Advising the farmers TO turn
bolshevists is the worst advice that
could be given for it would be the
rTsrs themselves who would suf-
fer the greatest loss.

INstR RANCE

Contrary to all theories. life in
eurance was tremendously expanded
by the action of the u. S. govern
ment taking over insurance of its
army and navy.
While government affairs are sell
dom conducted as carefully or sue
cessfully as private business, in
handling insurance the government
had 10 20 to the existing insurance
companies for it's ideas. blank
forms and contracts and experienced
men to handle the bureau.
Marine insurance was not favor
ably affected by government carry
ing the same.
BY restrictions OF laws and large
deposits required by states. marine
insurance has been largely kept in
the hands of foreign companies.
Fire insurance has passed thru
three fairly prosperous years due
to fire prevention campaigns and
increased value Of property in
sured. In spite of mounting cost
OF operation as in other lines. in
surance has remained at pre-war
figures. except for short time dur
ing the war when ten per cent sur
tax was added for few months.
With failing markets there will
he increasing business failures and
increased losses and the ratio OF
fire hazard will constantly grow
and the colvency of fire insuian
companies will depend on maintain
Ing rates.
The people are learning that in
surance is greater asset of credit
in the business of the nation than
even our flexible and highly i'm
proved federal reserve banking sys-
tenn. for insurance stands behind all
credit.
War underwriting profits were
not distributed as dividends but
were added TO the surpluses and re-
serves OF companies to meet the
period OF readjustments and in
creasing losses which the insurance
companies knew would come.
