ton. This is the farmers job, and is
the biggest and most vital JOB on
earth. Next, is secondary production,
which is the preparation of farm pro-
| duets for human consumption. Third,
is transportation, which places these
products in reach of the distributors ;
and fourth, the distributing and mar
keting of these products to the ulti-
mate consumer.
But the distance between the prima-
ry producer and the ultimate consum-
er is entirely too great An equilib-
rum must be reached whereby every
ing and clothing the people enjoys a
fair share of the profit, which the ulti-
mate consumer finally pays, no more
no less. and if this profit is fair and
equitably distributed, the consumer
will pay just what he should pay. But
the processof re-adjustment we are
now going through is clumsy, unfair
and almost disastrous in it's manner
of working, so far as the farmer is con.
cerned.
The farmer has been compelled to
bear the burden, not only of his own
full duty and responsibility, but in a
large degree. the burden of his other
three partners, namely: Secondary
producers, transportation agencies,
an dthe distributors. He has done
this to the tune of some six billions
of dollars during the last year, this
colossal sum representing the shrink
age in the value of agricultural pro-
ducts, but the ultimate consumer is
not getting the full benefit.
The secondary producer has been
unable or unwilling to meet his share
of the burden. very largely on account
of two factors. First, his cupidity,
and the second, the attitude of the
wage earners. 1si& UtT{
am inclined to believe that the
third partner, that is, transportation
agencies, may be absOlved from any
particular blame, for the reason that
it has been we'll nigh impossible fSr
them to materially reduce their ex-
penses. The fourth partner in enter
prise, has not borne his share of the
burden of this adjustment, principal
ly for two reasons: First, and fore.
most, is inordinate greed, and second,
high rents, but these two reasons are
inseparable because landlords can
properly be embraced in the fourth di-
vision, which has to do with distribu-
ton.
We must all work to be patient.
Sooner or later, the world will take
all we have to sell. equitable adjust
ment of prices and labor and goods
are taking place. It may be possible
that there will be further depression
before Arm basis is reached, but we
will win If we do not lose our courage
No sound prosperity can be based on
unreasonable prices, inflated currency
and speculation, but it will result from
honest industry and thrift am sin
cere in my belief that when these days
of reconstruction and REIMBURSEMENT
are over, when "the tumult and the
shouting dies, the captains and the
kings depart" this nation will enter
into long period of satisfying pros
perity.

STEEN TAKES STEPS
TO BEGIN PAYMENT
OF HAIL INSURANCE
Will Continue Paying Claims Until
Fund is Exhausted: Steele County
Claims Will Be Paid First.
(By STAFF CORRESPONDENT,

~ Bismarck. \. D.. Ian 1o.-s,aee
Treasurer John Stean Today took steps
to begin payment of The state hail in
surance warrants for 1919 amounting
to over s1.100.000 which remain out
standing for eight counties
A cali was sent out for SS2, 900
worth of claims from Steele county
still remaining unpaid to be sent in
for payment. Stutsman county claims
will be paid the latter part of the
present week and the payment will be
continued steadily until the amount in
the treasury for the payment is eN-
hauSted
The, presen. balance in the hai, in-
surance fund is s7Ss.492.57. The rec
ords show that no hail claims have
! been paid since October 80. On that
date the balance in the state hail
fund was s144,243 and on December
80. Just before Mr.. Steen took Office.
1t had reached the sum of s772.82S.0S.
In spite Of this balance being in the
ha1l fund. no payments We're made on
the hail losses in eight counties. The
| farmers there have been waiting for
their money and the interest charges

against the state. (
| 1t is understood that one reason for
the failure to pay the claims was the
! objection of the Bank of North Da-
/ kota to having the necessary with,
drawals made from the bank.
Mr. Steen has discussed the matter
/ with Mr.. Cathro and the latter has
+, urged that no more Withdrawals be
