which is to fully guarantee that the
claims Of injured persons and depend
ents will be- paid when due.
The Building Of these reserves is
the common practice of all sound &C
cident insurance concerns. They e do
not belong to the Bureau but to in
jured persons and dependents. The Blu
reau is simply the guardian or custo-
dian Of the funds. But for these re-
serves, no insurance of any kind would
be worth the paper the policy is writ
ten on. The editor Of the Fargo I. V.
A. press must know this if he knows
enough to come in out Of the rain,
which we often doubt; hence when he
starts out to attempt to prove that
the Workmen's Compensation bureau
is profiteering at the expense Of the
employers or anybody else, he is eth
e. totally ignorant Of his subject or
else he is deliberately classifying.
The Widows Mite
To illustrate the trusteeship Of the
Bureau and the good work it is doing
for those who have lost their bread
winner, the following instances, which
r only VITO cases out Of hundreds,
tell their own simple yet tragic story.
On July 1, 1919, Joseph Horgan Of
Fargo was accidently killed while in
the employ Of the Minneapolis Thresh-
ing Co. He left a widow SO years of
age and four young children. To this
family Of five, the bureau is paying
the limit Of indemnity under the law,
or $40 q week. Mrs. Horgan's 'life

CAUCUS BLOCKS EMERGENCY
APPROPRIATION FOR ATTOR-
NEY GENERALS OFFICE

Developments of the last few days
seem to indicate a determination on
the part of the T~witchellites and Lam
gerites to put the Attorney General
in a position where he will be unable
for lack of funds to prosecute to a
successful conclusion the great suits
he initiated before he became Attor-
ney General and while he was acting
as Special Attorney General for Gov
ernor Frazier. Among the suits is
that to compel the railroad companies
to cease discriminating against North
Dakota in the matter of freight rates
and passenger fares.
It is known that the Interstate
Commerce Commission recently up

expectancy" is 70 years. Ii she lives
that long, and provided she does not.
remarry, she will draw $1,000 a week
for herself. She. will be paid $500 a
week for each of her children until
they reach the age Of 18 years, when
they are dropped from, the, payroll Of
the Bureau. Now, no fair-minded ep-
ployer will say that $40 a week is
too much indemnity to pay a widow
for the support Of herself and the care
and education Of four fatherless little
children in these times, whatever the
editor of the Fargo grain gamblers
organ may think.
The second case on the Bureaus
payroll is that of a Scranton widow
only 2t years Of age and two child
rem already born and another expect
ed. Her "life expectancy" is Al pears
and she gets for herself and her two
children an indemnity Of $16.5O a
week, which will be increased to $3.50
a week when the expected baby is born
and if it lives. In this instance the
Bureau is trustee Of this girl and her
babies Tor Al years. a.
To meet these and like deferred pay
ments is the reason why the Bureau
must set aside the reserves shown
above, and in. doing SC it is only act
ing on the iron law on which the en-
tire business of insurance operates.
The Real Trouble
The real trouble with the Kept
Press and it's bankers is, in this case
as in all others, that the Workmen's
Compensation bureau is operated by
the State Of North Dakota without
profit.
That is "what's hurting Them, and
already the insurance trust is in Bis
marck trying to amend the law SO that
private liability insurance companies
can get in their hooks on the compen-
sation premiums Of North akota. It is
being further attempted to SO amend
the law as to allow an employer to in
sure himself, self-insurance, they call
it, and to make it optional with en-
ployes (?) whether it is carried or not,
which last, were it to become law,
would practically nullify all the bene-
fetal features Of the great North Da-
kota act. ~ /
What is really being demanded by
Especial privilege" is that a business
that exists solely by authority of the
state shall be turned over to it and
all the helpless widows and children
of men who have given their lives in
the service of society be placed at the
mercy of men whose sole and only mo-
tive in life is profits. The League is
determined to prevent this, of the in
nocents to the great god Mammon.

A true American Legion romance
eliminated in the marriage of Roy E.
Patrick and Miss Estelle Agans, both
charter members of the Frederick

To be sure that the ceremony was sui
~ficiently Legionnaire, the services OF
a minister, also a charter members of
the post, were obtained.

held Mr.. Lemke's contention in full
regarding these co~nfiscatory freight
rates and, so he has every chance of
winning the suits that will place North
Dakota on a parity with Minnesota
and other states and save our shippers
thousands of dollars a year in freight
charges, provided the bosses Of the
I. V. A. will let him have the money
necessary to efficiently present the
case to the courts.
LANCER Wastes Funds
Ex-Attorney General LANCER was so
efficiently inefficient that when he
left office Mr.. Lemke found almost
as much funds left behind as old
Mother Hubbard found grub in her
cupboard.
To be exact, Mr.. Lemke found on
hand just $7,805.65, with unpaid bills
on file for $4,O25.52, and no one knows
how many more to still come in, leav-
ing him a balance of $3,70S.13 with
which to pay the cost of the railroad
rate case, to say nothing of other i'm
portant suits pending and soon to
come up, and all the expenses Of his
office until July 1, 1921.
How LANCER overlooked this $3708.-
10 in his eager desire to tie the hands
of his successor, no one knows. But
however, that may be, the Bull Gooses
of the, I. V. A.. seem to think it was
the cutest political trick ever and so,
regardless of the great losses that
may be inflicted on the people of
North Dakota, they absolutely refused
to allow the Attorney Generals Of
flee an emergency appropriation, with
out which it will be next to impossi-
bic to prosecute the Railroad Rate
case, the Grain Grading case, the
Railroad Tax case and other vitality
important suits in which the state is
interested.
This cheap political-trickster meth
cd of getting even with Attorney
General Lemke for the evere defeats
they have suffered at his hands is
what the I. v. AS call statesman
ship" Maybe it is, but it's not Lem
ke's way of fighting. No matter what
it costs the people of North Dakota
in hard earned dollars, the Ivabund
says the Attorney General shall not
have the money to fight it's friends
the Plunderbund, with. 1t simply jeers
and says; "Lemke worked without
pay once; let him do it now"
This is, the way the men who, when
they were lying about the League in
order to get elected, solemnly pledged
themselves to serve the bests of all
the people of North Dakota and now
keeping their pledges. Everyone here
is wondering what the I. V. A. farmers
think of their Representatives"

AMERICAN LEGION NEWS

In the year past, the American Le-
gion doubled in membership and add
ed SALT posts, according to National
Headquarters. All records for growth,
however, were broken by the Women's
Auxiliary, which started the year 1920
with 5000 members and finished with
an enrolment Of 100000 and a total
Of 1895 units. All state departments
registered substantial gains and new
posts were formed in the following
foreign countries: Argentine Republic,
Belgium, Chile, China, Guatemala, ia
pan, Poland, Samoa, Santo Domingo
and Peru.

kind noble and generous Of Mi. Leach,
if we do say it ourselves.
With Leach, Twitchell and LANCER
all fighting Lemke, we guess the in
terests of the railroads and other in
FAINT industries will not suffer.
Neither will those Of North akota

no can help it, and they have to date,

GOES DOWN WITH CAR ON
THE CLEGHORN HILL

Charley Twining is the man who
never quits, as was amply shown the
other day when his car went off the
grade near the top of Cleghorn hill
and plunged over and over nobody
knows how many times to the Dottcm'
two or three hundred feet. How 1t IS
that Twining is still alive is as much
a marvel to himself as to anybody
else. He stayed by the car all the
way down the awful fall, having graD'
bed the pedals when first aware that
something was amiss and holding On
through al the wild plunges Of the
vehicle.
Mr.. Twining does net know how
| long it was after finally stopping at
| the bottom before he came to him
| elf sufficiently to drag himself to the

| shoulder was broken, for he felt the
bones grating. After washing HIS

Se removed till the next morning but
| IN Tuesday the patient was able TO
walk abroad. when his intimate frleno
could not recognize him, so plaster
ed was his face at the hands OF the
surgeon.
In his descent Mr.. Twining thinks
his car was at one time in the flight
| at least thirty feet off in space, all
the time whirling and only touching
the hillside once in awhile. Mean
while he would not let go his nolos
on the bottom fastenings IN thls
determination he recalled an exper
tence he once had with runaway
team which taught him never tc
lump in such an emergency. He
thought all the time the car wouie
finally stop and so it did, but there
