FIRE Loss LARGE SAYS
STATE INSURANCE DEPT

The state in urance department
Bulletin very properly calls attention
10 phase OF the tax question that de-
serves consideration and points out
how we can ali help in lowering our
taxes along one line at least. 1t says:
EveryoDe IS talking about taxes.
Why not contemplate the taxes we
are paving on account Of careless des-
t.uction OF property by fire.
TIE expense for running the State
of South DakoA for the fiscal year
l920-2l was 3,1s7,27100. We burned
up half that much property in the
State and no one seems to worry.
Would it not be q good idea for ta,,
experts to. in analyzing the costs of
government. call the peoples atten-
ton to the heavy tax laid on them
selves by their own careleSsness?
When one Is asked who fixes the tax
rate in his city Or courty. the natural
reply IS the City Council Or County
Commissioners. Careful analysis.
however. will show that their function
| Is only clerical, that in reality the tax
rate is determined by the level on
which the taxpayers themselves re,
/ quire the municipality to be maintain
ed. Their budget calls for certain a.
mounts and the board in authority
merely complies th6 amounts and pro-
muloates a rate. The making Of rates
for fire insurance is very similar. The
budget which the insurance companiee
| have to raise consists Of first: the eN-
| penses Of doing the business, second
the value OF the property destroyed by
i liie The tirSt o. these factors j. a
uu;te definitely fixed amount. The
| second varies and 20 great extent
must be controlled by the insure;l
themselves, and it is on this account
that the insured can largely control
the rate at which insurance NAV be
bought BY preventing large part OF
the easily pteventabie fires.
| The business OF fire insurance con
>ists in the collection Of small
amounts from the many who are in
snred and the payment to the rela.
lively few who suffer loss by fire OF
comparatively large amounts to make
| good such loss under the limits OF the
| insurance '~.saried.
TIE rates, are based on three fac
tors, first: construction, whether brick
or frame Second: occupancy, classeo
! a. hazardous hazardous Or extra
hazardous. Third: Whether under OF
outside Of fire department protection
Therefore, the rate on we'll kept brick
buildings is lower tl;an on frame build
ings not 30 carefully built.

Community CLUB ORGAN
lied At twin BROOKS

Twin Brooks has organized a COM
nunity club which is proving OF much
interest, considering the short time II
nas been organized. It is well attend
ed and the local talent offers much
along the different lines OF entertain
mente and education.
The purpose of this club is TO ger
together, and get acquainted as well
as to instill into the minds of the
corning generation the value of parli-
mentary rules used in similar organi-
cations and in debates. Those who
wish to bring lunch and coffee is
made at the school house, where the
meetings are held twice each month,
on Friday evenings. There is no men,
bership fee and everybody is invited
to come and en- 10y themselves.
Last Friday evening the second
reeting was held with large atten-
dance, the house being filed despite
the inclement weather. The meeting
was calld to order by President Enoc;i
Lindquist and several special numbers
were given, both by the smaller child
rem and adults The main interest
was centered upon the debate which
took most of the time. The question
was. Resolved, That the Poultry End
of General Farming is More Prof
table Than the Dairy End" The af-
firmative showed how the poultry wa
more profitable because the invest
ment was much smaller; it took less
labor because the chickens can be
hatched before the field work begin
and sold SO they need not be winterei;
there are quicker returns from the
poultry: the work is lighter and much
more agreeable; ard many other good
points. The main point Of the mega
tive seemed to be that the cows helped
fertilize the land; and that cream
brought more money than eggs, but
did not mention the cost of producing
said cream. A good hen will easily
double her market value each year ir
eggs, i. e. if she is worth S1.OO She
will easily net the owner $500 arc
still be on the job. The negative also
thought the COW more profitable be
cause thev could hook fox with Their
horns instead of being carried away
A md the negative went as far as tt
say they saw pretty girls taking baths
in buttermilk.
The affirmative debaters were E
Arndt. Geo. breckenridge, Jr, ano
Z. F. Seide. The negative was sup
ported by Harry Bohn, ]. Swedbura
end w Egrmayer. The judges were
chosen and such men only were
chosen who would place their vote:
according to the proofs offered an,
not to their own personal feelings
They gave a unanimous vote 10 ti1>
