HAIL Z0NING
PLAN OPPOSED
BY CONVENTION
Williams County Leaguers Go
on Record as Against
Change in Rate Basis
WOULD KILL. THE LAW?

Zonlng of the state with different
hail insurance rates in the various
sections, as proposed by Commission
er of Insurance S. A. Olsness and
the hail insurance department, is op-
posed by the Nonpartisan League
convention of Williams county, in
resolutions adopted. Under the zon-
ing system rates in eastern North
Dakota would be lowered.
The system Of zoning was to be in
corporated in an initiated measure
which the state hail insurance depart
ment planned to have presented to
the people for vote. 1t has been
decided since by Mr.. Olsness to sub
nit the proposed changes in the hail
INSURANCE law to the Nonpartisan
League state convention here on Feb
ruary 6, in the belief that a. repre-
sentative body Of farmers would ac-
curately index the attitude of the
people throughout the state on the
proposed changes.
The resolutions, as affecting the
hail insurance department given in
CHV iilIdIHo SOuHeJ L al HiSIo lcSS,
follow:
Whereas the Insurance Commits
sioner Of North Dakota has pro-
posed change in the Hail Insurance
law Of this state, which provides for
four hail insurance zones in the state
fixing the rates in accordance with
losses during the past five years that
the law has been in operation.
Now therefore be it resolved that
we condemn the proposed change in
the law for the reason that the zon-
ing idea is contrary to the original
purpose and intent of the law as
passed by the League legislators;
that the office of commissioner of
insurance is an administrative and
not legislative office and it is not
within the province of the insurance
to attempt to provide
to the laws which they
that the proposed change
is based upon the operation of the law.
within the past five years and we
believe that five years is entirely too
short time in which to judge the
benefits or defects in such law; that
the ideas of the insurance commits
sioner are far fetched and the farm
ers should be consulted upon said
change before it is made. We believe
that if the commissioners plan is

TO call his home 1900 miles away
by telephone, hear faint voices, then
be informed by central his wife can
not answer because his house is
burning and to wait until the call is
answered from next door-this was
the narrowing experience of James

Williams says he lived life time
in the brief period while awaiting to
find out if his wife and baby were
safe and he didn't sleep the rest of
the night.
It was about 1880 4. m. when
Williams put in his regular weekly

but could not distinguish them.
"Try again" said central. He did

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Nat:onal
banks are prohibited by the laws of
Missouri from establishing branches
the supreme court held today in a
case brought by the First National
Bank of st. Louis. The opinion stat
ed that the state law does not con-
flict with the United States.
The case was regarded as the most
important before the high court deal
ing with the question of branch
banking.
In many states, banks have been
permitted to establish many branch
es. This is particularly true in CAL
ifornia, where the Canadian system
is followed of allowing the same
bank to operate branches in the same
city or other cities.
The state of Missouri prohibit tied
national banks from doing this. At
torney- Generals of many states, in
Guiding North Dakota, joined with
the state of Missouri to oppose the

one by one to climb to the surface
and safety.
Three other men who were not
killed by the force Of the explosion
to make their way to an
Dther air passage and later in the
night gained their freedom. A fourth
miner dashed along the main en-
trance, but was overcome by gas and
perishcd.
