PREUS TALKS :
ON SOCIALISM
Minnesota Governor Praises Co.
operative Enterprises

LaMoure, Oct. Ex-Governor J. A O..
Preus of Minnesota raked socialism
fort and aft in his speech at Memo
rial park here yesterday, his first in
the North Dakota campaign.
The Nonpartisan program, the gov
ernor said, is based upon the advice
of Henry George, single tax advert,
who said, Don't confiscate the land,
but raise the taxes until the lands are
c0nfiscated.'
This explains why land taxes have
been steadily increased in North Da-
kota since the Nonpartisan league
came into power, Governor Preus de-
clared, and it explains why the state
tax levy for 1922 has been Increased
los per cent.
The governor contrasted the North
Dakota plan of state industrialism
with the Minnesota plan, of cooper
ative enterprise. The former, he said,
has brought disaster TO North Dakota
while the latter had been an unquali-
fed success. While the managers and
employees of state owned industries in
North Dakota were trying to see how
much money they could get for the
least amount of effort, the co-operatives
in Minnesota were working hard for
the success of their enterprises and
getting big returns for their labors.

STATE TO SAVE
$1,000, 100000 IN
RATE REDUCTION
Traffic Expert Estimates This
Amount Annually in Decrease
on Grain Rates
SPREAD OVER ALL WEST
Case Was Instituted by Railroad
Commissioners of States
West Of Mississippi
SPREAD OVER ALL WEST

The saving to North Dakota ship
pers in decreased freight rates on
grain under the order of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission promul-
gated Saturday will be $1,OoO,OOO in
normal year, and would amount to
about 100000 this year, " E. Smart,
traffic expert Of the railroad commits
sion, who returned to the city today,
said.
Mr.. Smart attended the meeting Of
railroad commissioners in Atlanta, Ca,
and stopped in Washington to confer
with the Interstate Commerce officials
on rate matters and there obtained an
official copy of the order.
The order provides, ne said, that on
or before November 20 the carriers
must file new tariffs upon grain, hay
and grain products, reducing them by
one-half of the increase Of IS per cent
made on August 26, 1920, except that
the reduction is 10 per cent less on
wheat. Mr. Smart said that would be
tantam0unt to an actual reduction on
the present rate of about 10 per cent
on wheat and amount 10 II per cent on
other grain;
The total saving in a normal year
in North Dakota would be about ST..
100000, he said.
The case which resulted in the de-
creased rate was instituted by the rail-
road commissions of Tie west. 1t is
estimated that the decrease in rates
in the entire western territory, west
of the Mississippi river and including
Illinois and Wisconsin amounts to $40,
100000 annually. ..

HAIL INSURANCE
FIXED NOV. 1ST'
Delay in Returns From Counties
Prevents Fixing at This
Time, Manager Says
RATE TO BE INCREASED

Delay by counties Ill making com
plete returns to the state hail insur-
ance department and necessity Of
close~checking will make it impossible
to fix the state hail insurance rate for
1921 before November l, Martin S.
Hagen, manager of the department
said today, Mr.. Hagen had expected
to fix the rate October rs, the day re-
qufred by law for the ascertainment
Of the amount which is required for
the total payment of all loss.
The hail insurance rate will be in
creased somewhat over last year, Mr..
Hagen said. He is unable to fix the
amount at this time ~.
Losses this year are much heavier
this year, while the total amount of
insurance is somewha: less. The 3
cent fiat tax, under the law passed last
winter, goes into the revolving fund to
be created for a period of five years
to about $500, 900.
The nail insurance acreage tax last
year waS Is cents, and the fiat tax,
3 cents, an acre.
The total insurance for this year
is estimated at $84,376,196 in un.
checked figures, as compared to $780,
0,32057 last year. There was 49,
900 less acres of cropped land this
year. Mr.. Hagen said federal figures
showed. The percentage of acreage
insured is slightly higher than last
year, however, he said.
Loses this year exceed 21,000. Last
year they were 14,40O. The rate will
have to be fixed in amount sufficient
to pay the losses.
