ae UNDERWRITING LOSS OF W.C.B. BOOSTED SO FAR THIS YEAR ‘Was $27,344 Compared With $20,788 for Same Period i Last Year The underwriting loss of the North Dakota Workmen's Compensation Bureau for the first six months of this year was $27,344.33 compared with ‘@ loss of $20,788.10 for the correspond- ‘ing period of 1931, according to figures announced Monday by R. E. Wenzel, chairman of the bureau. Premium income from Jan. 1 to June 30, 1932, totaled $222,277.70 against awards paid totaling $249,- 622.03. For the first six months of jJast year the premium income was $256,841.22, and awards paid $277,- 629.32. For 1930, the six month rec- ord was $311,346.75 premium income, and $258,916.39, “While the eight per cent increase in the general level of rates effective July 1, will fall short of balancing this budget by about $9,000 for the six month period,” Wenzel commented, “interest earning on permanent fund investments are sufficient to make up this difference. It is hoped, at any rate, there will be n ochange for the worse during the remainder of 1932, rate, there will be no chang2 for the better, so that the Bureau may again feel at ease in refusing to follow rec- ommendations of its consulting actu- ary, which was for a 20 per cent in- crease in the general level of premium rates for this year. This does not mean that any one is justified in overlooking any opportunity to stress accident prevention.” The premium income and awards paid by months for the first half of ie years of 1930, 1931 and 1932 fol- low: 7 1930 Premium Awards Month Income Paid January .. +$ 55,159.10 $ 47,847.64 February . 83,201.95 50,135.60 March .. 51,365.28 44,980.43 April . 8,287.72 41,956.61 May 50,693.77 39,376.84 June . 42,638.93 34,619.27 6-month totals.$311.346.75 $258,916.39 January .......$ 32,755.67 $ 62,741.35 February + 89,221.10 43,343.56 March . 32,521.20 46,592.74 April . 27,266.63 48,065.11 May 44,971.30 37,495.00 June . + 30,105.32 39,391.56 6-mont! $256,841.22 $277,629.32 1932 January .. -$ 25,700.70 $ 49,814.79 February . + 41,129.36 March . + 15,537.32 47,035.65 April . + 28,427.30 May + 24,864.16 34,046.91 June . 26,618.86 36,215.86 YOUR TEETH Their Relation to Your General Health TINY TEETH CAN SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS Parents are thrilled when the first tooth of their youngest hopeful ap- pears. When the second appears, jthere is another celebration. But by the time all the baby teeth are in the aoe mouth, the novelty has worn off. “Baby teeth don’t matter,” most Parents say. “Wait until the per- manents come in, and then we'll teach Johnny how to take care of them.” They are wrong. Baby teeth are extremely import- ant factors in the health of the child today and throughout his life. They are needed to chew food properly so that the child’s delicate stomach will not be overburdened. They aid in the Proper development of the jaw and facial expression. They prevent pain and promote health. Bad teeth, even if not permanent, often abscess and cause infections to get into the blood, sometimes result- ing in heart, kidney or lung trouble, or rheumatism. Unclean teeth are an ideal breeding place for many germs, especially those causing pneumonia, measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria, Healthy baby teeth are invaluable assets to the future welfare of the mouth. If they are allowed to decay, they often come into contact with newly arrived permanent teeth, and Pass the decay along. Equally important to the future of a child's dental health are the four big molars, the first permanent teeth in the mouth. They hold the jaws in shape while the rest of the per- manent teeth are coming in. They are called the keystones of the mouth. To lose one of them is tragedy, be- cause it throws the child’s entire mouth out of position. Other teeth come in unevenly. They change the whole appearance of the child's face. Since they do not fit together prop- erly, decay is encouraged. (This newspaper wilt be glad to re- ceive questions from readers about teeth, mouth hygiene or dental health.

Merry’s Conviction Is Upheld by Court; The conviction of C. F. Merry, Stan- ley, on a charge of violating the state securities act, was affirmed by the state supreme court but the case was remanded to the district court for re-' STATE TAXPAYERS PLAN 10 INITIATE SIX MORE MEASURES |To Begin Circulation of Peti- tions Soon Asking New Salary Reductions Petitions for six initiated measures to go on the state ballot next fall will be circulated this week by the North Dakota Taxpayers’ association. The proposed measures, supple- ‘mentary to the four approved in the June primary, will call for: 1. Reduction by 20 per cent of state officials’ salaries and salaries of state employes, 2. Reduction of salaries of district judges. 3. Reduction of salaries of judges of the supreme court. 4, Elimination of district tax su- Pervisors. 5. Reduction of fees paid to news- Papers for publication of legal notices and proceedings. 6. Shortening notices of sale of real estate for delinquent taxes and ef- fecting contingent economies in legal Printing by the elimination of the delinquent tax list and the substitu- tion therefor of posted notices in the county auditor's office and at four other public places, Substantially, the measure as! reduction in pay of state officials and employes is similar to a measure pre- viously advocated by the association which was thrown off the June pri- mary ballot because of a legal tech- nicality. It fixes salaries at a level |20 per cent under the present level of not only elected state officials but of appointive state officials and em- Ployes and assistants thereof and would result in a saving of approxi- mately $425,000 a year on the basis Jof the present salary schedule, The measure which would reduce salaries of district court judges would affect the 15 judges in the six Judicial districts, reducing their annual sal- aries from $4,000 to $3,500, providing an estimated ‘gross reduction of $7,500 Per annum. With but one post to be filled in the supreme court at the November election, all other justices would con- tinue to receive their present salaries until their terms expire, regardless of whether the measure becomes effec- tive or not. The justice named in November would be the only one to receive the reduction in pay from $5,500 to $5,000 this year. Elimination of district tax super- sentencing.
