UNION LABOR LIFE
Insurance Crashes All Rec
Ords for Surplus

New Orleans, La. II. l.. N. 81
Reporting an increase of well over
500, ,000-perhaps more than $l25,000
in surplus in the last ten months,
President Matthew Woll, of the Union
Labor Life Insurance Company, laid
before the executive board of the COM
pany, meeting here, report of prog
ress never equalled in the history of
American life insurance.
The ten months in which this tre-
mendous increase in surplus was re-
corded followed the first six months
of the company's operations, setting
a record likely to stand for many
years, if indeed it is ever equalled.
at is universally true" said Presi-
dent Woll, "that new life insurance
companies decrease their surplus for
the first two years.
"Not only have we increased our
surplus as stated, but we have writ
ten more insurance than was ever
written by any company in it's first
eighteen months of life"
The increase Of surplus is attrib-
uted to the fact that the company
is union labor organization, backed
by the labor movement; to the con-
servative management of the COM
pany and to a favorable mortality
rate.
For the first time the company is
operating booth in the American
Federation Of Labor convention hall,
presided over by Vice President Gen
erla Manager Rainard B. Robbins.

CHICKEN CROP
:, CALLED GOOD
- ~AAD WV

Chicken hunting season in North
Dakota will be open for two weeks
from September 30 to October IA
this year, Martin A. Hoghoug, sccrc-
tary of the state game and fish
board, said in Bismarck today.
The game and fish board reached
this decision after an extensive bird
survey in North Dakota this sum-
mer. The chicken hunting season
was restricted last year because of
the scarcity of birds. The hope of
the board at that time that the
chickens would increase in number
with ample protection has been re-
allied.
Hoghaug anticipates a successful
hunting season for ducks and geese
this year because of the great
amount Of rainfall this summer.
Good grain crops will also attract
many birds.
The board will meet in Valley City
some time next week for it's August
meeting, the secretary said. Mem
bers of the board are C. H. Motif
n1ier, president, La Moure; R. r.
Halstead, Beach; and Mr.. Hoghaug.

LANIER FIGHTS
{ LEAGUE FUSION
AS DEMOCRAT
Candidate for Attorney Gen.
cral Declares He Wants No
Hybrid Party

Jamestown, N. D.. July 31.-tR--
That the Democratic party Of North
Dakota will not fuse with the Nom
partisan league nor accept any
league candidate except upon the
basis Of the state and national
Democratic platforms, is the opinion
Of ?. w. Lanier, Democratic candi-
date for attorney general, state
Democratic committeeman from
Stutsman county, and member Of
the national platform committee.
Mr.. Lanier's statement, which
comes in the form of an answer to
the action Of the state convention of
the Nonpartisan league here yester-
day. follows:
Due to the fact that there has
been some considerable newspaper
talk as to what Democrats would do
in the fall campaign with regard to
the state ticket, and in view of the
further fact that in some instances
from some sources there have APP
peared statements and news stories
indicating that the state Democratic
party might be willing to throw it's
column in the fall election open for
the purpose Of placing therein cam
didates for state offices, with
prime object of winning the fall
election and without regard to Demo-
cratic principles, I am prompted to
make this statement.
100 Fer Cent Democrat
II believe that am a hundred
per cent Democrat. l have opposed
fusion with the faction of the Repub-
lican party known as I. v. A., and
with it have never fused. am
equally as strongly opposed to fu-
sion with the Nonpartisan league
element Of the Republican party.
am a Democrat because l believe
that the principles and politics of
the party promise the most for sub
stantial growth and prosperity to
the nation. am a supporter of
the Democratic platforms, both state
and national, and believe that these
platforms embody programs that are
for the best interests of the nation
and the people Of the state Of North
Dakota. and far superior to anything
offered by the platform of the ma
e'Cs'Us ASNPuOsiSui poICy dIuu tUc IT.
publican party of the state of North
Dakota, either Nonpartisan or l. v.
A., or both. or all.
Il am not speaking with any
authority from the state Democratic
organization, but as an individual
Democrat. l believe, however, in
doing SO l voice the sentiments of
all hundred per cent Democrats in
the state Of North Dakota.
Doesn't Want Hybrid Party
Il want to see full-blooded party
in North Dakota, and not halfbrced
party. If we cannot win the fight
in the fall as Democratic party
upon Democratic principles and plat
forms l prefer to be defeated. The
Democratic party in the nation has
q history of which it is proud,
namely that it has gone down to de-
feat many times standing for prin-
ciple and refusing to become the
tool OF the concentrated wealth Of
the east. At the present time /
have no hesitancy in saying that de-
feat to me, standing upon the same
principle. is more welcome than VIC
tory in the surrender of this prin-
ciple.
Il do not care to win by dickering
with certain self-constituted leaders
in private rooms for the delivery Of
votes in the fall election"

WATER REPORT
SHOWS GROWTH

That Bismarck is growing steadily
is shown by an annual report Of NJ.
H. Atkinson, manager of the city
water works. which was presented to
the city commission last night.
Bismarck citizens spent $79, 533. %
for 246,572,O 900 gallons of water
during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1928, the report shows. Last
year the city spent ST. ,69O.5O for
09,1S7.0 gallons.
Growth of the city is the reason
for the increased water use. Atkin-
son said. Though Fort Lincoln used
city water during the last year, no
other consumer used more than his
average amount and no new bust
nesses demanding a great supply of
water have been established. In
creased population is the direct
cause for the greater consumption.
Little has been spent to improve
the pumping and filtration plant, he
said.
The residential district uses slight
lv more water than business houses.
the report irdicates. Residential
consumers spent $4,000 during the
last year. No other classification Of
consumers is made in the report.
