RED LEGISLATOR
MOVES TO HELP
POORER FARMERS
''Tax All TilIabIe Land
to Pay Hail Loss"
Especial to The Daily Worker)


BISMARCK, N. D., Feb. 2-The loss
suffered by farmers, especially the
poorer farmers who are unable to pay
exhorbitant rates for insurance OF
their crops from destruction by hail,
is one Of the pressing problems Of
the Dakota farming population.
For Interest Of Poorer Farmers.
The first and only Communist elect
ed to the North Dakota legislature, A.
9. Miller, has introduced a measure
providing an inexpensive and effective
means whereby the poorer farmers
may get the protection Of hail insur-
ance without paying great sums to pri-
vate profit grabbers OF the insurance
companies, which thrive OF the mi
series of the working farmers.
The bill is accompanied by a re-
pealing act of the 1928 law, which pro-
vided for the withdrawal Of land from
the state hail insurance, and the bill
providing the indemnity tax, known as
House Bill No. 81, reads, in its essen
tial sections, as follows: 81
Tax All TiIIabIe Land.
1.-THE commissioner of insurance
shall, on or before the 25th day of
October of each year, estimate the
amount which is required for the to-
tai payment of all loss caused by hail
to crops insured by the department,
and a sum sufficient to pay interest
at the rate of six per cent per annum
on all warrants issued from the 1st
day of December until called for pay
ment by the state treasurer, plus a
sufficient fund to maintain and oper-
ate the department for the succeeding
year, and shall thereupon, for the pur-
pose Of securing and paying the same
levy an indemnity tax sufficient 70
cover said amount on all tilIabie land
within the state:
Provided, that the total amount Of
said indemnity tax shall not exceed
in any one year the sum Of fifty cents
per acre for seven dollars indemnity
or seventy-one cents per acre, for ten
dollars indemnity.
Provided, further, that II the sum
collected by the maximum levy should
be insufficient to pay all losses in any
one year, the payment Of losses shall
be prorated. All moneys collected un-
der the provisions Of this section shall
be paid into the state hail insurance
fund"
1t will be noted that the bill pro
vides for tax on all tillable land
within the state, thus equalizing the
burden for the benefit Of the poorer
farmers who may find their crops de-
stroyed without being able to recu-
perate a cent Of their losses. Both
bills are referred to the committee on
insurance.

athletic ability and will present some
of their best numbers.
The Finnish Choral Society-well it
is unnecessary to talk about the Firms
