3 COMPENSATION RATE BOOST SAID CERTAIN Industrial Accidents in North Dakota Increased in First Two Months An increase in the state workmen's compensation rate is certain because BY THE STATE Hi of the increase in accidents and re- duction of primiums, according to R. E. Wenzel, chairman of the North Da-{ kota Workmen's Compensation bu-| During the first two months of this | year industrial accidents totaled 956; while for that two-month period of | 1931, the total was 943, and for the; two months of 1930, 807, Wenzel said. There were 504 accidents in January | and 452 in February, compared with | $00 in January, 1931, and 443 in Feb- | Tuary of that year. In 1930, January | accidents totalled 452, and February | accidents 355. | “Premium receipts show a further | falling off,” Wenzel said, “indicating additional reductions in the number | of men employed. Rates of wages; and salary are also decreasing. Prem- lums receipts are, therefore, reduced | materially. “With the number of accidents on the increase, it is now quite apparent that the bureau can not continue the; policy adopted during the last year, but will have to make an increase in the premium rates beginning July 1. It is hoped that the accident preven- | tion work may acquire sufficient im-| petus between now and July 1, how- ever, that it will not be necessary to follow the lead of the private insur- ance carriers, who made general level increases of about 19 per cent during the last year. At any rate, the bureau is hopeful of keeping rate increases below 10 per cent.” Reapportionment | Cases Are Heard Washington, March 15.—(?}—To expedite disposition, the New York reapportionment case was to be sub- mitted the supreme court Tuesday instead of next Monday, the day on which ordinarily under the rules it would go to the court. This will enable the court, prob- ably Wednesday, to announce wheth-| er it will review the case and fix a date for the oral argument should the court decide to pass on it on its merits. The New York state courts held fmeffective a concurrent resolution adopted by the New York legislature attempting to reapportion the state without submitting the matter to Governor Roosevelt. The Minnesota reapportionment ease, in which the lower state courts made a contrary ruling, holding ef- fective a bill passed by the legis- lature and vetoed by Governor Olson. probably will be reached for oral; argument Wednesda: Bankers Excoriated | By Senator Johnson| Washington, March 15.—()—Sum- ‘Woman Says How North Dakota Highway Department Dollar NORTH DAKOTA STATE HIGHWAY DOLLAR AND HOW [T 1S EXPENDEO ANNUALLY IGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1931 NORTH DAKOTA TOTAL HIGHWAY COLLECTION DOLLAR FROM MOTOR VEHICLE FEES AND GAS TAXES AND WOW APPORTIONED THRU. LEG! 1931 re ‘STATE VNSHWAY FUND 54.29% Minneapolis, March 15.—(?)—Al- though George Eastman, multi-mil-! lionaire manufacturer, generally was | credited with being the inventor of | the kodak, this claim was disputed Tuesday by a Minneapolis woman. Not in the laboratories of Roches- ter, N. ¥., but in a cyclone cellar in| North Dakota was this devise de-| veloped, she said. The very name} Kodak, she added, was derived from | the name Dakota. | Mrs. Mina V. Hammer, living here, asserted that her uncle, David Hen- derson Houston, was the inventor of the simple picture-taking machine which later led to the foundation of the huge business. His right to the invention, she said, was established through long years of litigation. Houston was a Scotchman who came to this country in the "70s. He | settled at Hunter, N. D. He was of | an inventive turn, and be brought | with his from Scotland certain draw- | ings which he had made of a crude! box. That box, his niece disclosed, was a camera, Cellar Was Laboratory ! “A cyclone cellar was his labora- | tory,” she recounted. “He was so in-, tent on his inventfon that he never | knew whether it was day or night as! he toiled away. I_ remember that when meal time came around, we} would take him something to eat, for | he had no idea as to the hours.” | After he had perfected his crude | Kodak Was Invented In North Dakota Cyclone Cellar, box, Mrs. Hammer said, he went to Rochester to see Eastman, who was manufacturing film. Houston was an inventor, but not a manufacturer, and he wanted someone to market the invention. “The box didn’t have a name at that time, but by uncle had in mind several that he thought might do,” Mrs. Hammer said. “He was very fond of Dakota, so the name kodak was taken from the name of the state.” Talked Over Invention Houston and Eastman talked over the invention on that visit, but ap- parently definite arrangements were not entered into. About two years later, Mrs. Ham- mer said, her uncle heard that his ideas were being infringed upon. He took out a series of patents. Then followed years of litigation, “The records are on file at Fargo and in other places, for the litiga- tion was long drawn out,” Mrs, Ham- mer said. “As far as I can recall, the sults lasted from about 1885 to 1889. There were three appeals to the U. S. supreme court, which upheld my uncle, “Finally, the whole matter was settled on a royalty basis. My uncle received thousands of dollars up to the time his patents ran out, which, I believe, was about 1921.” Houston died in 1906, being buried at Hunter. his widow in 1927, marizing the senate finance commit- tee’s investigation of foreign eae Senator Hiram Johnson told the sen- ate Tuesday that American losses were due to the “greed” of interna- tional banks and “smug complacency and supine indifference” on the part of the government. ‘The gray-haired California Repub- lican, who sponsored the investiga- tion of American losses in foreign bond issues, startled the senate with the ferocity of his attack on interna- tional bankers, In @ scathing denunciation of their activities, he said they had given “no thought to the impoverishment of American citizens who trusted them and acted apparently only for the Profits.” 10 States Apply for Free Federal Wheat Washington, March 15.—()—Appli- cations from 10 states for 5,675,000 pounds of free flour under the re- cently enacted 40,000,000 bushel free wheat bill have been reported to President Hoover by John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red} Cross, which is distributing the grain. Payne said he told the president the Red Cross had not yet reached an agreement with the millers as to a basic price for conversion of the wheat into flour. Nevertheless, Payne said, orders have been dispatched to the Chicago distribution headquarters of the Red Cross to fill all requests immediately, with the price still to be agreed upon applying to’ any necessary conver- sion. Several carloads of unmilled wheat already have been dispatched to the} Dakotas, Payne said, for use as feed | for livestock. GRIDDER WEDS AGA!
