HAIL LAW NOT
TO BE URGED
80 Per Gent Payment of 1923
Losses Will Stand

An initiated law transferring funds
from the state hail insurance de-
partment surplus to the state hail
indemnity fund, to make possible
payment of 1928 losses ON a 100 per-
cent basis, will not be asked, Com
missioner of Insurance S. A. Olsness
said today. The matter will go over
to the next legislature for such ac-
tion as may be taken, so far as the
insurance department is concerned,
he said. =
1t had been proposed by the Com
missioner and the hail insurance de-
partment to submit an initiated mea-
sure which provided for the transfer
of about 100000 to the indemnity
fund to add to the 30 percent loss
payment made farmers for 1928
losses, to zone the state with varying
hail insurance rates in the various
zones and eliminating the so cent:
an acre maximum indemnity tax or
81 an acre insurance.
Mr.. Olsness said that the response
from the league state convention was
hardly satisfactory and that. because
of lack of time an opportunity tt
present the matter fully to those a
the convention, as representative
farmers, was not possible. He sait
that also while, the department woult
like to'see the farmers get their full
losses, it can also be argued tina
those insuring in 1923 were on tn
same basis as those insuring in an!
other year and that the burden o
1923 should not be transferred to
subsequent year.

been missing from that place and
were last heard from when at James
town August 8. Stokkey was an ex-
service man accustomed to write to
relatives once a month Of mis- aCtivi.
