BLANKET POLICIES
ARE BARRED: EACH
BUILDING SEPARATE
Compulsory State Fire Insur-
ance Shows No Savings
to Taxpayers

Helena. - Every schoolhouse and
every courthouse in Montana is in
sured separately, along with the
contents Of each, for 1000 Of the
valuation. This is the result of a
supreme court decision regarding
the method of fixing the insurance
rate for the compulsory state fire
insurance law, as explained in a
recent opinion Of the attorney gen.
eral.
Under the old method where COM
peting agents solicited the business,
risks were limited in most instances
to fire and lightning. Each agent
tried to point out saving, one ex-
cluding the foundation, another the
excavation and third pointing out
the uselessness Of insuring property
below the grade level.
According to the attorney generals
opinion, to which all school trustees
and county commissioners must ad-
here, these buildings must be in
sured against fire, lightning, flood
and water damage, tornado, wind
storm, cyclone, hail and explosion.
Earthquake insurance is optional.
To fix the rate, the usual prevail
ing rate, heretofore obtained from
private companies is used. To that
is added the cost of each of the ad-
ditional hazards, which are compul-
sorry. Each of these additional costs
are those originally fixed by the
Board of Fire Underwriters. Then
comes the cost Of the exceptions and
those provisions, usually eliminated,
but now required under the present
law. This total rate is then lad
justed" to be equivalent to 100 per
cent protection, as fixed by the un-
derwriters.
Thus each school house and court
house must be insured separately,
the state receiving no saving from
insuring all state, county and school
district property as group.

American food market in two years

While New Deal bureauerats were

killing activities have been car

administrators Bangs disease
campaign conducted in 48 states
during the last two years.
Meat and milk production has
been reduced and more and more
imports of cattle. beef, and dairy
products are coming in from for
eign countries as result. In the
meantime Bangs disease runs ram
pant in the farmers dairy and beef
herds.

cattle and send them to slaughter.
Bothered by Dreams.
Apparently men who are trying
to run the farms of America by
jerking puppet strings radiating out
from Washington, still are working
on the idea that there are too many
cattle in the United States.
Farmers and ranchmep are anX-
ious to get rid of cattle infected
with Bangs disease, which causes
the loss of calves in both dairy and
beef herds and undulant fever in
human beings. But after having
10000, 1000 tests made on their ami
mails, they have become skeptical.
They doubt the accuracy and value
of the test.
Farmers and New Deal planners
alike apparently thought the pro-
gram had merit when it was start
ed. The idea of government aid in
getting rid of infected animals
seemed sound. Experience soon
proved that the planners had en-
tirely overlooked the fact that the
test for Bangs disease had not
been standardized and perfected to
the point where it could be depend
ed upon to give satisfactory results -.
when applied under various condi-
tions on a national scale.
Some farmers had taken both the
test and the sound judgment Of the
Washington officials pretty much
for granted. They have now found
to their sorrow that neither Of their
assumptions were justified.
Farmers Now Dissatisfied.
For many months dissatisfaction
has spread among farmers through
out the country. Through their
breeders organizations dairy and
beef cattle owners decided to make
an investigation and go to the bot
;om of the Bangs campaign fos-
;ered by politicians at Washington.
About 200 of the cattlemen's repre-
recently met in Spring
field, Illinois, where they aired the
whole cattle killing program.
They found out that srom the be-
ginning the New Dealers apparent
" had used the Bangs disease test
as an excuse to slaughter more Of
heir cattle. Farmers now realize
hat they have been paying high
price to aid political theorists in
planning their revolutionary agri-
cultural reduction scheme.
