provement over the 1919 law. Many
ambiguous provisions of the old law
were made plain. such as Sections 9
and IL, which relieves the Depart
ment from liability for loss on crops
grown on lands not listedafor indemn-
ity tax as provided by law. This was
formerly a much disputed point and
the only. action in which the depart
ment has been made the defendant
was brought for the purpose of re-
covering for lass when lands were not
properly listed. The Supreme Court
held that the department o. not
liable and thus put a stop to. what
might have been an endless amount Of
litigation.
"The new law carries several very
important new provisions. such as the
privilege ~of fling application for Ex-
tension Of Time for withdrawal from
Indemnity tax; to apply for $500 ad-
dit onal insurance and to insure crops
on homestead and Indian lands. 1t
also specifies the amount of penalty
and interest on delinquent hail taxes.
makes provision for accumulation of
the &c per acre fiat tax for five years
into q surplus fund and disseminating
! the fiat tax after the yea 1925. This
last provision is by far the most inn
portant change in the law and will
prove of great benefit, as within 3 or
4 years the department will be able
to pay all the indemnity the same
/ year in which the losses occur.
Heavy Tasks Unforeseen.
Section 10 Of the law, in. part pro
vides that the department is to de
duct from the indemnity the hail tax
This is a wise and fair provision, but
nevertheless, causes the department a
great deal of grief. trouble and In

NUMBER OF
HAILLOSSES
INCREASES
Every County in State Was
Hit During Season
of 1921.

losses on acreage insured with Tie
state OF North Dakota increased from
1900 in 1919 to 14,140O in 1920 and
2l,06s in 1921 according to the pre-
lininary report for 1921 issued by
Marts s. Hagan. head of the Hail In
surance Department. Every county
in the state suffered from hail losses
during the 1921 season., Williams and
Dunn suffering to the greatest eX-
tent, with 1,615 1927, losses re-
spectively. The total number of adj
justmenls for hail losses made by the
sta-e tor the 1921 season was 20,9S3
and the total amount of the adjusted
loss was s4,S74,S60.32. /,
The increase of $500 losses in one
year caused a severe strain Upon the
machinery of the department, espec-
tally as the losses came in n Of the
shortest growing seasons ever expert
tnced in North Dakota. 1t was nee
essary to place extra adjusters in the
field, to train them by a series of
schools and inspectors trips and with
: an insufficient number Of adjusters,
to complete the work as soon as pos
sible.
Another factor hat entered into
the troubles of the Hal Insurance
department was the crop failure in
the western part Of the state. In
handling this phase of the conditions
the report says:
Crop Failures Made Problem.
Especially in the western part Of
the STATE thousands of acres of grain
that on the 18th OF June promised a
yield sufficient to warrant protection
by insurance were, in a few days,
literally burnt up. The time for filing

Cured and loss was reported, the de-

position \of-whether or not to allow

ly would not have yielded enough to
order not to penalize the farmer who
put in his crop and carr ed the in
pay for harvest and thresning. In
SUI. ance in good faith and in fairness
also to he rest of the taxpayers
who contribute to the Hail Fund. but
who had no losses, a ruling was made
to the effect that adjustment would be
made irrespective of stand of grain
or value of crop at the time loss oc-

their provision that no indemnity

such a ruling will readily be under
