After that first trip, which still is remembered vividly by mahy now living, Pullman’s idea was a source of merriment. s All inventions and ideas are crude when they are born. No matter how brilliant your idea, in- finite patience is needed, along with much burning; of midnight oil, before the. crude idea is evolved into polished ngar-perfection. The rounded corners of Pullman car vestibules| were conceived by,a porter. He had wearied of being the target for the wrath of passengers who had struck violently on the former sharp corners when the train rounded a curve, ® Porters for- marly wears patiently took the; kick of passengers who had their clothes splashed with water that lurched out of Pullman car wash: basins. Then a porter got the idea of projecting the top edges of the wash basins inward, so that the water was not apt to lurch out, no matter} how roughly the train rode. ry YOUN J U Js ' iWhat -ig"your. ost plkasant-Memory What |do you look back!to as the greatest event in y life?

EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of .The Tribune. ey are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. WHEN CHINA WAKES China, we are toldfrequently, is a sleeping giant; when she wakes, there will be something doing. But we don’t believe this—not very much. If we did we should be more concerned. with the question of how a sleeping giant is going to act when he wakes and finds that one of the most interesting things that is going on in the world to which he has been asleep is the squabble over who was to have the right of picking his pockets. | What China would find if she woke up tomor- row, and that means what China is gradually; having impressed o2 ber, is that the peoples of/ {the dominant ace have never learned how to ar- lrange the world so that they should-not squabble among themselves, while their attitude toward} lother races has been that they shoul be very ithankful for anything they’re allowed to keep. !For diversion, so it is possible the waking giant |might view it, they talk about treating *other peo- jples as you would like to be treated yourself. | Now if we should like to think of China as pres- ently awaking to the discovery that there jis a bet- ter way of doing things than through fighting, it’s about time we prepared a demonstration of that better way. That is one reason, far from the only reason, why we could today scarcely make a better start toward getting together than to get together on the basis of treating a third party decently.— Milwaukee. Journal. _ \ ‘ j the State of North»Dakota increased | |from 12,090 in 1919 to 14,140 in 1920 {and 21,069 in 1921. according. to the |preliminary rerprt for 1924, issued by Martin S, Hagan, head of the Hail In- surance Department. Every county in the state suffered from hail losses during the 1921 season, Williams and {Dunn suffering to the greatest extent, with’ 1,615 ‘and 1,297 losses respe tively, ‘The toth] number of adjust- ments for hail losses made by the state \for the 1921 season was '20,983 and the total amount of the adjustea 1988 was $4,874,360.32. i, The ‘increase of 6,600 losses in one year caused a severe strain upon the machinery of the department, espec- ially'as the Iosses came in one of the shortest growing seasons: ever experi- enced in'North Dakota. It was neces-, sary to place extra adjusters in. the field, to train them by a_ series of schools and inspectors trips and with an insufficiént number of adjusters, to complete the work as soon as pos- sible. Crop Failure Another factor that entered ‘into the troubles of the Hail Insurance de- partment was the crop failure in the western’ part of the state. In hand ing this phase of the qonditions, the report says: “Especially in the western part of|>° the state thousands Of acres of grain that on the 15th of June promised a vield; sufficient to warrant protection by insurance were, in a few days, lit- erally burnt up. The time for filing withdrawal for sch crops had passed, unless an extension jf time had been requested, and when hail later oc- curred and loss repor' th¢ depart- ment was put up against the prono- sition of whether or not to allow in- demnity on such grain that naturatiy would not have yielded enough to pay for harvest and threshing: In order not to penalize the farmer who nut. in his crop and carried the insurance in good faith and in fairness also to the rest of the taxpayers who con., tribute to the hail fund, but who had! no loss, a’ ruling was made to the ef- | fect that adjustment would be made irrespective of stand of grain or, value of crop at the time loss oc- curred, provided~the claimant gave | proof he had worked the land in a husbandlike manner, with the further | provision that no indemnity would be allowed for jloss:ion abandoned fields or crops too poor to harvest, if loss {| occurred after the time “such crons would have been harvested had they been worth it. The fairness of such a ruling will readily be understood, if the State Hail Department be consid- ered a great mutual institution.” Laws Passed ‘Laws passed at the last session of the legislature to make more effective | the working of the previously passed legislation is commended in the r port. One of the laws, however, ad-; ded largely to the grief of the depart- | ment. by stipulating that taxes skpuld ! he deducted from the indemnity be- | fore the amount of the loss is paid. ; In speaking of the working of recent laws. ‘the report says: ! “The new State Hail Insurance law } nassed: by the last legislative assem- | bly, is in many respects @ great im- provement over the 1919 law. Many’ ambiguous provisions of the old law were made plain, such as Sections 9 . which relieves the depart- ment from liability for loss on crops grown on lands not listed for indem- nity tax as provided by law. This was formerly a much dismuted point and the only action in which the de- partment has beet made a defendant. was brought for, the purpose of recov- ering for loss When lands were not vroverly ‘listed. The supreme court held that the department was not lia- ble and thus puta stop to what might | have been an endless amount of litiga- tion. Important Provisions “The new law carries several very | important new. provisions. such as the privilege of filing avolication, for | /\ extension ‘time>for withdrawal ‘from indemnity tax; to apply ‘for $3.00 ad-| ditional Insupencgand to‘insure crops on homesteaffed thd Indign lands. It also specifies the amount. of penalty and interest on delinquent -hajl: taxes, makes provision for accumulation’ of the 8c per acre fiat tax'for five yeard into.a surplus fund and discontinuing the flat tax after the year, 1925. This last provision is ‘by far the most im- portant change in the law and will Prove of great benefit, as within 3 or 4 years the department will be able to pay all the indemnity the same year in which the !psses occur. “Section: 10 of. the law, {n part, pro- vides that‘the department is: to do. duct. from the indgmnity; the hail taxes. This is a/wise and fair, provis- sion, but, nevertheless, caises, the de- partment a great deal of grief, trouble nd unforseen expense. ‘To © chech 21,000 adjustments for. percentage of indemnity, correct acreage, withdraw. als, extension of time, additional in- suran to figure the hail tax on each description covered, to deduct such tax’ and to certify such deduction to the various county auditors to distrib- ute; the balance of the indemnity in proper pportion to owner,’ tenant or the assignees, to “aa ee claims to the state’ auditor and folfinally. mail out ‘the warrants to 1Me: respective claimants is a task of no small propor- tions, especially so, as it-is very dif ficult to obtain effcient help for the extra work of checking claims, as the work is only of a temporary nature. ‘On account of’ the great: amount of work above referred to, it has not been possible to get: the warrants out as early as expected, but nearly all the losses: are row certified to the state auditor and the peak of the work is passed.” KW) JEWELS GONE, ris, Dec, 28.—Princess.
