in getting organized as Il part of the

Capt. Williams states that, at pres

to full strength. owing to the fact that
several of its members have left town.
He desires that these vacancies be
filled as soon as possible. so that the
men may receive proper training be-

X may rank as high as any other troop
there. Unless this is done there is
grave danger of the troop being taken

What Figures Mean

The receipts, Of course, tell their
own story. It is Mheir disposition
that is used by the opposition to be-
fuddle the mind Of the public which
is a trick as old as time.
In the disbursements, you will notice
that, in the fiscal year beginning
July 1, 1919, and ending July /, 1920,
the Bureau paid out for claims only
$69,388.01, and from which simple
fact the opposition tries to set up the
claim that the Bureau is collecting
far more money that is necessary to
care for injured persons and the de-
pendents of those killed. This sounds
plausible to those who know nothing
of accident insurance and the re-
serves that r absolutely. necessary
to pay the deferred claims Of injured
persons and dependents.
Under the heading Of Reserves, it
will be noted that the Bureau has set
aside the sum of $4,000, which is
the amount estimated by the insur-
ance tables to be necessary to pay the
claims already approved and allowed.
Further, this sum does not belong to
the Bureau at all, but to injured per-
ons and dependents, the last being
mainly the widows and children Of
men who have been killed while at
work. Many Of these claims will be
in process of payment for years; as
the insurance is paid in weekly install
ments. r
On top of this reserve, the Bureau
has a Catastrophe eserve which the
law compels it to set aside to be used
in case of extraordinary losses, such
as, say, the burning down Of a depart
ment store and the loss therein of
many lives by fire, or any similar ac-
cident where many employees were
killed or injured. In addition to this
reserve, the Bureau has q further
contingent reserve" the purpose of
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 accident
insurance concerns. They do not be-
long to the Bureau guardian and Gus.

reserves, no insurance Of any kind

But Grand Forks people have for

The Northern Produce company at

Grand Forks, N. Done hundred

LIVING COSTS

New York.-The cost of living de-

current increases in many other

This four months, however, left the

"life. expectancy" is 20 years. If 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 pay
roll Of the Bureau. Now, no fair
minded employer will say that $50 a
week is too much indemnity to pay
to a widow for the support Of herself
and the car and education of four
~fatherless little children in these times
