GREAT BENEFIT
RATE REDUCTIONS TO MAKE
SAVING $4,000, 900 YEAR TO
FARMERS.

Huron, Nov. 2.-Thetransportation
department of the American Farm
Bureau federation estimates that the
reductions in freight on hay and
grain ordreed by the interstate COM
merce commission represent a net
saving to the farmers of the country
of $40,O0O,0O0 annually.
According to the South Dakota
board of railroad commissioners, the
reduction secured for South Dakota
shippers will save them approximate
ly s1,194,500 per year. The reduc-
tions are to go into effect not later
than Nov. 20.
The farm bureau submitted more
evidence than any other farm organ
ization in the hearings before the in
terstate commerce commission. APP
pearances were made by the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation and by
the state farm bureaus of South Da-
kota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Idaho,
Iowa and Arizona. The South Da-
kota board of railroad commissioners
and the railroad commissioners OF
other states were the complainantsr
led by Judge Clyde M. Reed, of Kan
sas.
Meantime, the farm bureau is pres
sing for action on its petition sub
mitted to the interstate commerce
commission on Oct. 18. asking for an
immediate reduction of 10 to 20 pei
cent on all basic commodities, fol
lowed by further reductions until
'the increase of last year, ranging
from 25 to 40 per cent in the various
territories, shall have been elimin

declaring that Section l5-A of the

Grounds for this contention are
that the clause attempts to compel
shippers on some lines to pay exces'
sive rates in order to create surplu:

LA BE FOR
HAIL INSURANCE
COURT DECISION PLACES RE-
RESPONSIBILITY ON TEN
ANT.

Yankton, Nov. 2.--Constitutional
ity of the state hail insurance law is
not involved, Judge r. B. Tripp has
ruled, in case which was appealed
to him from justice of the peace
wherein farm owner sought to re-
cover the amount of the premium
from his tenant, the latter having
failed to claim exemption from the
provisions of the law. In the opin-
ion of the court the tenant, having
had the protection of the state in
surance. is in justice bound to pay
for that protection, and his neglect to
claim exemption under the provisions
of the law cannot serve, to make the
owner liable, for the amount of the
premium. ~
The case was that of Victor Cwach
VS.. Dick Haney Haney was renting
from Cwach on a, cash basis, and
failed to claim exemption from the
hail insurance. Cwach was compelled
to pay the premium with his taxes,
and sued to recover. In justice
court counsel for the defendant, Han
ey. entered demurrer on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional
which was sustained, and an appea
was taken to the circuit court, which
has reversed the finding of the JUS
tice.
